Mark Miller raises my hopes and dashes them most expertly
"When I was at Comic-Con - what feels like months ago now - I attended and wrote about the panel for "Human Target," a show I liked last season but didn't love, and one where the raw materials - specifically, leading men Mark Valley, Chi McBride and Jackie Earle Haley, plus some of the best action scenes on TV - were strong but the mix as a whole only really came together in the season finale. The ratings weren't great, and now Fox has moved it to Fridays and brought in "Chuck" producer Matt Miller to be the showrunner. Miller's job is to take the elements that were working and then make the show stronger overall creatively.
At Comic-Con, Miller talked quite a bit about the addition of Indira Varma as the team's new financier, as well as a female thief character named Ames - a role since cast by Janet Montgomery. When I saw him at Fox's press tour day earlier this week, I asked him about other changes he's making, including the exit of composer Bear McCreary."

Seriously, Miller? LESS of a music score in the show? Because I know that's exactly what was missing from HT before-- mediocre pop songs that underscore the characters' special ~*feelings*~.
And I'm not thrilled that they're basically sweeping the resolution of the cliffhanger aside in favor introducing Isla. All that buildup to the confrontation between Chance and Joubert, and it's going to get resolved in what, the first twenty minutes? At this point Isla had better shoot rainbows and glitter from her butt, because otherwise I can't see what makes her so interesting and worthy of the spotlight.
