HUMAN TARGET "Sanctuary"

Now this episode was better than the last one. I was getting a little concerned that the pilot was going to be the only good episode. I'm intrigued by Chance and Guerrero's past. I definitely want to know who this woman, Katherine, was that Chance can't seem to get out of his head and especially who the people are who blame him for whatever happened to her. I liked how, at first you think Guerrero is going to double cross Chance and Winston, but then he kills the guy who is after Chance for whatever reason.

Jackie Earl Haley is really good at this role. I realize it's kind of one dimensional in some ways, but I like it for now and I like the mystery behind almost everything he does. He's very dark and has a way of boiling everything down to it's simplist point.

The writing was particularly funny when Chance is telling Winston to defuse the bombs like he did before, which wasn't him but Guerrero. I also liked when the bad guy thinks Winston won't shoot him because his posture is like a cop. But of course he does shoot the guy and proclaims that he's retired.

Good writing. Still love the action. Hoping some of the intrigue or mystery of all of their pasts is pulled more into the storyline. Not that it has to come out right away or even this season. But giving us the little tidbits here and there, makes the show more fun to watch.

What happened to Carmine? He's such a cute dog.
