Maps and Mirrors

Fox has cancelled Human Target, Lie to Me and The Chicago Code. Those were the only things I was still watching on the Fox network with any regularity!

House had already started to lose me even before they turned Cuddy into House's Kleenex and Bones has become something I have a hard time wanting watch for a while, especially since "The Doctor in the Photo".

*whine*

Fuck me, a line from Human Target made me tear up.

"Don't you have enough scars on you to know that things heal?"

Damn you Winston.

While I agree in principle with limiting personal internet use at work, I really hated not being able to get on LJ this afternoon and squee about the fact that THEY RENEWED HUMAN TARGET!

I 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.
