A new Fox network television show in the veins of Jason Bourne meets James Bond meets The Terminator, "Human Target" http://www.fox.com/programming/shows/?sh=humantarget is on as I type. I'm a sucker for this junk. There is, however, already a "turn off" aspect of this episode. It is taking place on a government-financed bullet train in California that supposedly cost only 62 billion dollars of taxpayer money. The target is the engineering firm's team leader for the project (who, coincidentally, is also a whistle blower). I am anticipating this being some "right wing militia group" or corporate sponsors hell-bent on stopping the project, especially after it's already been constructed and fully funded in perpetuity. The target is to be protected by a private security firm. That's where Christopher Chance comes in. He forces the bad guys to concentrate on him rather than the intended target. Lots of shooting, fighting, explosions and and witty repartee.
Wow! Was I off about the attempted killer. I turns out it was the team leader's jealous husband. Well, to be honest, she was having an affair, but that doesn't necessarily warrant killing anybody. Anyway, my cynical nature is still in tact.
Vote against boondoggle government choo-choos and their legislative reporters.
