OK, so, nitpick about the Human Target season (series?) finale. In the scene in the BART tunnel, Ilsa is running across from one track to another, and she gets her foot caught in a gap that runs crosswise across the track. Then when the train is coming, Chance is coming along the track in the other direction, tackles her, and they both wind up laying in the gap under the train. Wouldn't he have broken her ankle?
But by the end of the hour (hour 1 of the second season), it became clear that some horrendous changes were in the making. Not one but two ladies were added to the permanent weekly roster alongside the three guys — and as the second episode progressed it became clear that both were firmly stuck in the sad realm of hoary Hollywood feminist cliché. In scene after tiresome scene, both characters repeatedly dissipated every attempt at recapturing the sleek, blistering, cat-and-mouse action of the first season.
Well c'mon. Any guy that can jump off a roof in a snowstorm, wrap his legs around a gargoyle and hang on to the damsel in distress can easily pull off that subway rescue as well.
I read this review last month - no argument from here on the addition of the two women to the cast.
Just catching up on Sunday's Californication, and OH MY GOD is Rob Lowe hilarious here.
I just finished season 4 of Dexter. I was curious how/why Julie Benz was able/forced to do her new show. I don't know if I like the ending scene to the season. It's just too cliched for me, I guess. Still, when does season 5 come out on DVD? I'm ready for it now.
Being unemployed is great, if you can afford to live that way.

I find it especially amusing since it's airing concurrently with his quite different (still amusing but not in nearly the same way) role on Parks and Recreation.I had not even realized that was Rob Lowe at all. I'd been trying to figure if I knew who the actor was, never even recogniozed him until I saw the episode on a re-run.
What a performance.
.So I've watched every episode of Justified (only around 15 episodes) to date over the past week or so. Great show.
