Human Target- Gun gripe for the ep. At the party, Chance sees the sniper rifle on Guerrero's back and is all "M14?" But its not an M14, as it was a bolt action rifle that I'm too lazy to figure out what it is. I had to watch the ep again to make sure he didn't say M40, which is a bolt action. (Though the stock was not that of the A1 or A3 models). But according to the captions, he did say M14.
Although at the end in Geneva he was actually using an M14. Though he was using it after saying in the previous scene, "I'm going to need something with more power!" But in the earlier convo at the party, his response to Chance's "M14?" implied he was using because of the .308 cartridge. But since the rifle he was using later is also chambered for .308, there's no diff. Unless he meant "firepower" as in he's using a semi-auto rather than a bolt action.
Speaking of, while the M14 is a fine weapon, I'm not sure it would be the best choice to use for precision cover fire in the situation they were in. Its an accurate weapon, though it needs a lot of work to be "sniper" accurate. I mean, the reason special operations units use it in places like Afghanistan is its a more robust and reliable weapon than the other semi-auto choices, albeit less accurate. Well, "less accurate" is a relative term, its still precise enough to snipe someone from hundreds of meters away just not as precise as something like a PSG-1 or an M110 SASS. But with innocents and friendlies about, and needing the ability to make quick follow up shots, he could've picked a more accurate semi-auto since he was in a city and not the middle of the desert, so reliability wasn't an issue. Its not like there are dust storms in Geneva.
Life Unexpected- Heh, so this is where Declan from Degrassi has gone! Owel, with Life Unexpected more or less canceled, I guess not all Degrassi kids who get on a CW show hit it big. Well, maybe only if you're an attractive female, like Darcy (who's now Annie on 90210) or Mia (who plays both Katherine and Elena on Vampire Diaries). Or does it have to be an attractive female who used to date Peter? Anyways, its weird to see Declan as Anya from Buffy's son. But I digress, after covering for Lux for all the trouble she got into this ep, he transfers to the school and quickly figures out Lux and the teacher are secretly seeing each other. I'm guessing if this show wasn't getting axed, he would possibly break them up? Hey, at least he's age appropriate for her.
So that's why Lux is having trouble in school, because the husband of that chick from earlier in the season who Tasha was initially being fostered and we find out wanted to adopt Lux had smacked her around? And are they not coming after Lux and Tasha for Tasha beaning the guy in the head with a shovel after he attacked Lux again?
