Run Away As Fast As You Can.

Almost slipped and broke something, like, eight times on the way to work because the city has not yet cleared and salted the slush off the sidewalks. And I did not wear the grippy things for my shoes today because I was dumb enough to think it wouldn't be that bad out today. And then I spent ten minutes wandering around on the fifth floor, looking ( Read more... )

The only thing that got me watching The Cape is Summer Glau. So far, like you, Orwell and Max Malini (which is a great name, except that I always confuse him with Max Martini, which ends in disappointment; one's a great actor, the other just a character) being wonderful are the only things keeping me watching the show.

Is it just me, or is the guy who plays Vince just a Mark Valley knockoff? I don't know yet if that's necessarily a *bad* thing, but it's definitely a thing, in my eyes.

Summer Glau was a lovely surprise that I didn't know about until I started watching. Malini and her Orwell are the only reasons I am still watching so far.

I actually thought of Vince as Jensen Ackles Lite, with the mouth and the eyes and the jaw.

...Great. Now I'm going to mentally swap out David Lyons for Jensen every time he's onscreen. When I'm not swapping him out for Mark Valley, that is. (If Summer Glau ever guest stars on Human Target, you will be able to hear my shrieking from your couch, no lie. That is, of course, if she gets to fight; I could watch her move for days.)

This show just got a whole lot more bearable watchable for me. *G*

The only reason Summer Glau hasn't guest starred on Human Target is that everyone knows she wouldn't need saving. Maybe she can guest star as someone working against Chance and the gang? Or maybe an assassin with a sense of humor? Anything where they get to make Terminator jokes around her.

(If I could write Human Target, I would request an OC for the Mary Sue Promptfest and write Summer in as some kickass ninja-like adversary for Guerrero.)

Seriously, the only thing that keeps me going when Vince is yammering on about everything is imagining him as Jensen's older brother. Also, I find him ridiculously attractive when he goes into cop mode, but not when he's in Superhero Cape mode. I have no idea why.

[I honestly don't know if he got taken down by Orwell, Cameron, River or Summer herself. At this point, I don't even think it matters.]

"I’m sorry, tell me that again? Because I must have misheard you. It sounded an awful lot to me like you said you got beat up by-"

"Dude, seriously? Finish that sentence and I will hit you with a crowbar."

"A girlGuerrero uses a baseball bat instead. (Sometimes getting the upper hand on someone really is all about misdirection.) He figures Chance will be out for at least half an hour, so he goes to the deli down the block for a sandwich ( ... )

AHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD, I LOVE THIS. Please write more? I will encourage and possibly write you whatever you want for an entire story of this.

Also, Cameron. Because imagining Cameron trying to parse Guerrero's speech patterns would be hilarious beyond belief. I imagine that Chance spends most of the case laughing himself sick and wincing from the bruises Guerrero keeps giving him for it.

I'm leaving for work in ten minutes, but I promise that I will work on this when I get home. If I don't die of giggles thinking about it first, of course.

I don't have any Human Target icons. Sadface.

Yayyyyyy! You write things that make me happy in my pants!

outoficons has made some really amazing Human Target icons from the first season, if you want some.

Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. This? Is AWESOME.

Also I cannot add anyone else now because my flist is seriously exploding by the number of people on it but if you write more I would seriously love to read it!
