Give me my show!
I gave myself a snow day today, not because it was really warrented but because I just could not bring myself to dig out my car at 6 in the morning. So today was a day of napping and poking at projects and waiting for the landlord's guy to come and look at the bathroom light, which never happened but at least prompted me to give the kitchen floor a much needed swiffering.
Tonight is another double dose of Human Target, which I am desperately trying to not take as a bad sign for my show's future. I really enjoyed last week's episodes, both because they had a lot of good Guerrero bits and because I liked Ilsa more than I have all season.
And not because she got beat up --- I know what you're all thinking (that is what helped me come around to liking Sawyer on Lost, thought). I actually did like that scene though, even with the entirely predictable ending (as soon as Chance started talking about how much it sucks to kill someone, you knew she was going to have to do it). There was a good balance of showing that Ilsa has a ton of moxie while still maintaining that fighting was not in her skill set.
Moving on to people for whom fighting takes up the entire first page of their skill set: My God, does Guerrero love Chance. Maybe not shippy love, but the way Hector reacted when his brother died? That would be nothing compared to what Guerrero would do if something happened to Chance.
And I dug the heavy implication that there's something important or at the very least personal about Guerrero's name --- I've always assumed it wasn't his birth name and this is a show that's very big about names.
On to tonight!
Wait, what is this? This isn't my show. Give me my show, Fox!
ETA: Oh. They put on Raising Hope because they were going to cut to the Tuscon Memorial broadcast at 8:30. Never mind, then.
