Forgive me Paget for I have sinned
Jan. 20th, 2010 09:53 pmI did something a little odd tonight: I skipped Criminal Minds in favor of watching Human Target. And I'm pretty OK with it.
Yes, the Sunday premiere of Human Target was a bit bland, but it had just a little something that I thought deserved a chance. Plus I apparently will now follow Jackie Earle Haley anywhere. (Incidentally, this apparent stereotype casting of Jackie Earle Haley as psychotic comic characters is something I heartily approve of. Cletus Kasady/Carnage sounds nice, but I'm open to suggestions. Christopher Nolan, I'm looking at you.) Anyway, tonight's show showed more promise, a little more complexity in the storyline, and of course some juicy hints at backstory. You'll have to forgive me, I have zero familiarity with the original comic. Which is a little strange for me, but anyway.
Besides, he's more than a bit MacGyver and I am a child of the 80's after all. It probably won't last but I think I'm going to stick with it.
