Synopsis:

Spoiler:
As the first season begins, Winston takes on an unlikely role to help Chance protect an unknown client---a pseudonymous computer hacker with potentially devastating information---from an unidentified assassin aboard a very unusual flight to Seattle.


It's on at 9pm tonight after American Idol. Next week it will move to 8pm.

Another Thrillride of a episode.
Good Acting and stunt work by all involve.
Love the opening Credits.
This is the BEST new Show I have seen this season.

Ok, so they got me. I was only in for Helfer for the first one but I actually enjoyed the show and this one solidified it. Solid action show. The rewind thing has been done to death though.

Why is Fox airing yet another show out of order? I don't really expect any dramatic carry-over from episode to episode with this show, but still...

Anyone else notice that the previews said the next new ep. is on Tuesday at 9:00pm eastern and not Wednesday at 8:00pm?

That's because Obama is doing his State Of The Union on Wednesday. So FOX is keeping Idol on Wednesday and they bumped Human Target to Tuesday.

So 3 episodes, 3 different time slots. That doesn't bode well for building any type of audience.

The time shuffling sucks. It's done pretty well through 2 episodes, but people nowadays already have a hard enough time keeping up with Pop culture let alone programming their DVR when a show changes time slots.

It wasn't bad, although the whole mixed up chronology thing has been done to death.

They are now 2 for 2 in having the hero and a woman crawling through air vents in out of control, high speed, mass transportation vehicles.

It has been done to death, but at least in this show it wasn't like everywhere else. Most shows have some huge event in the opening minute and then rewind 6, 8, 24 hours, then show only the events leading up to that point. At least here it alternated between present and past for a good portion of the hour.

As to the episode: it was full of action movie cliches, but I still enjoyed it. :)

Pretty good episode. The rewind stuff is such an old and overused plot device and I thought it worked for this episode. Overall, the episode was action-packed and kept me entertained.

It was nice seeing Courtney Ford again, who played the cute reporter on Dexter. I kinda saw the twist coming that she was the 2nd person looking for the hacker.

One thing that bugged and it was mentioned earlier about this actually being episode 5. I don't know how much time supposedly passed since the Pilot, but Chance mentioned working on a previous assignment with Guerrero involved in Nashville or something? To me Guerrero seemed pretty comfortable helping Chance and Winston considering he basically left after the 1st episode and said See Ya. I felt there was something missing there.

For a TV show, the airplane special effects were actually not bad at all. However, when Chance was fighting with the stewardess, I saw the landing gear door was wide open....Being that they were 30,000 feet in the air, wouldn't the air pressure have sucked both of them out right away?

She was hot. I was really hoping she would take his offer and become a regular.

Actually, if they hit the option to record all new episodes on their DVR they would get it no matter when it airs. I always use that option.

Not really, I use Season Pass as well but during the season I do have to do some checking on things on some nights to make sure I get everything I want. I know I don't have an conflicts on Wednesdays so I never check the To Do list for that day but Monday, Tuesday, Thursday I generally have to do some shuffling to make sure I get the things I absolutely don't want to miss. If the show doesn't have a regular slot it's going to fall through the cracks for a lot of people.
