I'm glad Nate paid for the shot. And seriously, putting it down on his own free will? Hardcore. I'm totally looking forward to him struggling with not drinking this season. It's nice to pick up after he's clean: Already been there done that with the withdrawl stuff.

It seems like the rest of the team had half a clue what Sophie was up to. Except how Eliot was oblivious to the boyfriend situation. (Which makes me breathe an extra breath of relief, in retrospect, cos I was so afraid the boyfriend was going to be Eliot. Would have been weird for the team dynamic and I'm not a fan of S/E at all.) They were obviously working together to con Nate back into the team, and it worked so beautifully!

I adore Parker's lock analogy. Like, seriously.

I also adore Hardison's glasses. Like, I haven't even got words. I love that style (both David and I have something similarish) and it just suits him so well!

Sophie... oh Sophie, this is the person I always knew you were. No more nagging, yay!

And as for Eliot. Do I even need to say anything? The fighting? The snickering? Was in heaven the first hour and snickering on the re-air. I love that he's getting more face time.

And you and me? Oh yeah. Same page with the kinky toys. The blushing, the stiff language. And in my happy little tinhat world of "Nate and Sophie isn't happening" now that she's got a boyfriend she's totally trying to hook Nate and Eliot up. I can just hear her saying "They'd be good for each other" and Parker nodding (more because this plan makes Eliot blush and that's always amusing cos who knew people that hit things for a living blush so much?) and Hardison's thinking she's crazy and doesn't know which he feels for more, Nate or Eliot...

No, I did not think too much about this. Why do you ask?

:wanders off giggling and is already contemplating downloading the ep for my ipod:

Nate rocks the willpower indeed. :) I wonder if they will have him fall off the wagon or not - I kinda hope not.

Oh yaeh I am really happy the boyfriend wasn't Eliot. That just would turn it into too much of a soap-opera. I am kinda seeing Nate/Eliot/Sophie though...

Parkers lock analogy was fucking brilliant. Plain and simple.

Yeah, Sophie used to be my least liked character but she is steadily climbing now. And she would totally try to get Eliot and Nate together :) *joins you in tinhat-land* I am totally behind you in the reasoning with Parker and Hardison too :)

Have you found any caps of the ep yet? *craves Hardison in glasses images like woah*

The way Hutton talks, I wouldn't think so. He's mentioned (between seasons, even) that playing up the drunk thing for him would be boring. So if he does stumble enough to take a drink, I don't think it's going to play out as far as falling off the wagon would on another show.

If a show on TNT could actually manage to do a poly relationship, I'd be ok with Nate/Sophie/Eliot. TNT doesn't have the balls (and oh god, I can already hear elements of fandom that would say it was making one or all of them sluts, and how that fucking hurts as someone who's poly). I'm not sure I'd read the threesome yet, either. I've never liked the way Sophie ends up characterized when fandom writes her paired. Don't know why...

When it comes to Leverage, the only place I get my caps (barring something weird happening) is live_your_way. Amazing quality, usually gets really good moments. Just, yes. She only leaves the posts public for a week, and then you have to be a member to access them. You should join and take a peek at her s1 stuff :D

ETA: She's not posted them yet, but they're worth waiting for.

I hear you about the poly-ness. Would love to see it well done but dreading the fandom fallout.

I hinted on s/n/e in that little ficlet I wrote yesterday/today and I am tempted to poke at it for my big bang but we'll see.

I joined the comm btw - now waiting patiently for caps :)
