- Title: Human Target – Tanarak
- wiki: link
Throwback Tuesday takes us back to another episode from the First Season of Human Target. “Tanarak” follows the basic structure with Chance (Mark Valley) out to protect a beautiful, smart, and talented woman from those who would do her harm. In this case the woman is Dr. Jessica Shaw (Moon Bloodgood) who has gotten on the bad side of the remote mining community where she practices by looking too closely into the unexplained death of one of their workers. Given the truth could expose the company to millions in litigation, they will do whatever it takes to wipe out the good doctor before any of this sees the light of day.
Moon Bloodgood is a perfect fit for the kind of guest-stars the show brought in during this First Season. Despite an initial distrust, she discovers she has more in common with the “mercenary” hired to save her than she ever thought possible. The action, including the baddies attempt to bury our heroes alive in one of the mine shafts, works pretty well while also allowing Guerrero (Jackie Earle Haley) and Winston (Chi McBride) the opportunity to pitch in by digging into the company back home.
