So there's this new action/adventure TV show, Human Target, starring Mark Valley and based on a comic book. The show itself is pretty damn cheesy and the writing is clumsy as well, but there are a couple of things that stand out. One is the investigator sidekick character, Guerrero, who is an entertainingly awful human being ("If you attack, me, I'll fight back... OK, that's an exaggeration. I'll take the beating, then in a few nights I'll come to your house and kill you and your whole family in your sleep."). The other is the fight choreography, at least in the premiere episode. It's reasonably original, and really quite well done. I mean it's by no stretch realistic, but it's much better than the standard lazy 3/2/3 or 2/1/2 pattern crap you normally see.

Also, so nice to see so many Battlestar Galactica alums getting regular work.
