Heh. It's a weird situation for me. The coming attractions make it look like one of the best action shows in a long time (and supporting cast member Chi McBride certainly won me over on "Pushing Daisies"). But I really have to wonder about the title, because the character seems entirely unlike the Human Target from the comics.
I'm not griping about this because I'm some sort of Human Target fanatic, but rather I wonder about the business reasons. I understand, obviously, that hiring an actor to never appear on screen (which is how a "real" Human Target story essentially works) would be stupid. But likewise, if the character isn't similar, then why the heck would you shell out money for the name? Especially when the name isn't exactly "Superman;" you have to be pretty old and geeky to have any idea that the name is meaningful, after all.
But to repeat, it looks like it'll be a lot of fun. While it lasts, I mean. Adventure show on Fox with an obscure title character who isn't actually similar? Pff. They'll be very lucky if they eke out a full season, unfortunately.
(Guest stars, I dunno. I'd much rather they find the show's "center" before throwing, say, Space Cabbie in our faces. As discussed with respect to "Smallville," it's always less entertaining than it seems like it should be...)
