Good episode Chance actually got hurt

"Perfect"

I only gave this a episode a 10 to bring the average up, I don't get why some people who don't watch or like the show get to vote BEFORE the episode airs, but that's tv.com messed up voting system.

True score for this episode is a 7/10, was entertaining enough but nowhere near the best of the season, the episode after this is more entertaining. Chance takes part in a martial arts tournament, but gets hurt accidentally, show's he's not a machine. Highlight of the episode is the houdini like way chance just gets out of the swimming pool with a guy at gun point, unrealistic but funny.moreless

It's Human Target doing "Blood Sport", there isn't much to say about this one, I just really loved seeing Chris fighting against different opponents in a martial arts contest. And of course there was that element of suspense in his injury which made me at time concerned for his life but at the same time knowing that the protagonist isn't invicible is what makes me want him to win all the more.

That escape from the pool I thought was cool, though I'm not sure if what Chris did could work in real life, if it doesn't it's fun to think it could.

And on final note really liked Grace Park in this episode, yeah I'm a fan of the show "Battlestar Galatica" and she was my favorate character on the show. She is good as a mysterous beauty that you do feel sympathy for.

So, get ready to rumble.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- During this episode, there are several wide scenic shots of "Brussels" to place the coming scene. However, the shots are not of Brussels, which is not a river city. Edit
- During the first fight the referee counts in German, during the second in French, and during the last fight in English. This is notable on the one hand since counting normally is done in the language of the martial arts (e.g. Japanese for Karate) or the language of the hosting country. Both fighters fight different styles, so international sportsmanship would suggest English, or if both styles origin in the same country, that country's language. On the other hand, the fights are supposed to take place in Brussels (Belgium) where the majority of the population speak French and Dutch, German is spoken by a minority only. The most logical pick therefore would have been English or French through all fights, but not a mixture and particularly not German. Edit
- From the time that Chance underwater in the pool shoots Prentiss' second man, to the point where he aims a gun at Prentiss. only four seconds elapse. In that time he fully emerges from the pool, brings a muscular struggling man with him, stands fully erect, and aims a gun with a steady hand. Not only that, but he does so without making any audible splashing noise. And he takes the time to have tied the rope around his hostage's leg, since he wouldn't have done that until after he had shot the other two men. Edit

- Winston: All right, genius, since you know me so well, what am I thinking right now? Chance: Well, you're worried because we're going to see somebody who's not exactly my biggest fan. You're second guessing. Winston: "Not exactly your biggest fan." The man told you if he ever saw you again, he'd shoot you you in the kneecaps, stuff you in a steamer trunk, and sink it to the bottom of the bay. Chance: You see, that's what I'm talking about. You're nervous. Edit
- Winston: He wants to kill you, and you just want to, just waltz into his living room. But, see, I've been around you long enough to know that, for you, that's pretty much par for the course Chance: Still, you come along. You're like a... mystery wrapped in a riddle wrapped in... cashmere. Edit
- Belvilacqua: Your client doesn't sound too smart. Chance: I'll be honest with you. He's not the brightest bulb in the box. Eddie: Is he saying I'm dumb? Guerrero: Of course not. Eddie: I'm not dumb. Guerrero: Your headphones are on backwards. Edit
