Human Target: Difference between revisions

* [[Almost Kiss]]: between {{spoiler|Chance and Ilsa.}}

* [[And Starring]]: Jackie Earle Haley gets it for this show.

** To put it simple, Guerrero is [[Token Evil Teammate|a psychopath]] that luckily is on the good guys side.

*** Well, maybe just a sociopath...he seems to have a bit of a conscience, after all.

* [[Cast Calculus]]:

** [[Power Trio]]: Chance (Ego), Winston (Superego), Guerrero (Id).

*** [[The Hero]]: Chance<br />[[The Lancer]]/[[The Smart Guy]]: Winston<br />[[The Big Guy]]: Guerrero<br />[[The Chick]]: Ames<br />[[Mission Control]]/[[Team Mom]]: Ilsa

** [[Guest Star Party Member]]: Emma Barnes, originally introduced in "Embassy" returns for "Baptiste", opening the doors for other one-shot characters to possibly return.

** So do Guerrero and Winston, and FBI Agent Vance, in "Imbroglio."

* [[Fake American]]: Ames is played by British Janet Montgomery.

* [[Faking Amnesia]]: Inverted. A client who has amnesia takes part in a sting to trick the bad guys by pretending not to have amnesia. To do this he has to convince them that he was faking it. It makes sense in context.

* [[Fan Nickname]]: G-Man - Guerrero.

* [[George Lucas Throwback]]: To the TV adventures series of the past like ''The Fall Guy'' or ''[[Six Million Dollar Man]]''.

* [[Girl of the Week]]

* [[Great Escape]]: "Lockdown"

* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Baptiste loves delivering these to Chance

** Because, unlike Guerrero, she's willing to take a check. Nevertheless, being that she was a notable thief before joining the team, paying taxes was probably something she conveniently forgot to do.

* [[Heroic Sociopath]]: Guerrero, though he's not so much heroic as he is loyal to Chance.

* [[Hidden Depths]]: Guerrero is a big fan of opera. Big enough that when he misses a show in "Imbroglio", he's ready to dish out pain with as much grumpiness as when, say, 'retrieving' information from an uncooperative captive. {{spoiler|He's also initially smitten with Ilsa's sister-in-law despite the rather obvious differences between the two of them; credit to Jackie Earle Haley for slipping in just the slightest bit of excitement over getting to join Ilsa and her sister to the opera as well as just the slightest bit of politeness to her compared to the way he normally talks to people. And then he goes and gets a date to Venice with her...}}

* [[Hidden Villain]]: The man known so far only as "Chance's old boss".

* [[Lady in Red]]: Done by an FBI agent who is trying to remain inconspicuous, go figure. Chance takes one look at her and determines that she must be a prostitute.

** a ''forty-dollar'' prostitute, which is what really pisses her off.

** It isn't as, ironically, Ilsa Pucci gives him his paycheck with his full legal name on it. He is less than pleased though more at getting a check rather than someone knowing his legal name.

* [[Legacy Character]]: Christopher Chance, as it turns out.

* [[Nerd Glasses]]: Guerrero's glasses vary from this and [[Scary Shiny Glasses]] depending on whether or not he's contemplating how to kill you. Or whether or not he's engaging in a violent or non-violent hobby of his.

* [[No Name Given]]: Inverted; Guerrero rarely, if ever, calls anyone by their names when talking to them. When he does have to address specific people, he'll usually use some sort of consistent nickname ('boss lady' for Ilsa for instance or 'the girl' for Ames) or his generic 'dude'/'bro'. This isn't so much due to him not knowing people's names so much as not really caring unless it's relevant (the name of an arms dealer); the few people he's talked to and used their name tend to be people like Chance, someone he is loyal to a fault to. As far as Ilsa, by episode 12 of the second season, she gets upgraded from 'boss lady' to 'dude'.

** And apparently working with Chance is just one way she does this. More than once she has mentioned trying to take down one other their targets before, though probably not the way they do.

* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]: The first season finale left us with {{spoiler|Winston kidnapped, the headquarters shot to hell, and Chance's old boss finally finding him so they can form a temporary alliance.}} The season two premiere opens with {{spoiler|Chance and Guerrero rescuing Winston from the bad guys}} and completely skips over how they ended up there. Even for a show that regularly uses [[Noodle Incident|Noodle Incidents]] it's a little frustrating.

* [[Papa Wolf]]: Threatening {{spoiler|Guerrero's son}} is, without a doubt, the last thing you will ever do.

** Guerrero is one to an extent as well.

* [[Put On a Bus]]: Carmine hasn't really been seen in the second season.

* [[Redheaded Hero]]: Layla.

* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: With this show, it goes hand-in-hand with [[Rule of Cool]]. By the time the plane starts flying upside-down ("Rewind") you really don't care anymore.

* [[Team Mom]]: Winston.

* [[Team Pet]]: Carmine.

** Averted in the second season. (Given how many fans ''hate'' the music in season two once [[Bear McCreary]] left, it's just as well.)

* [[Tranquil Fury]]: Just because Guerrero isn't raising his voice doesn't mean he isn't ready to throw a homemade knife at your head and bring hell down on you.
