Leverage finale was pure joy.
All the alternatives were awesome but I have special place in my heart for Hardison - Kaos relation. It's probably because he so wonderfully smug and full of himself you just want bad things to happen to him. And Wil Wheaton can really scream like a girl. I liked how all the alternatives have different relationships with the main team. Eliot and Quinn are buddies they just get each other. Parker and Archie Leach are like family and in a way he's a better father to her then Nate's was. And of course Hardison and Kaos rivalry and almost hate is always fun.
Of course they weren't the only people coming back. So did Victor Dubenich and it felt so weird after all these years. I got used to Artie in the meantime but he was pretty evil. However, the best returnee was Maggie. I squeed when I saw Kari Matchett name in the opening credits. And then it turned that Sophie brought her as a replacement and that Maggie is getting pretty good at the whole grifter thing and I was all ♥. Although, I wish it had more Sophie and Maggie in it. Even better if it had more Maggie, Sophie and Parker interacting more.
The episode was so much fun and it had everybody in it (even Sterling was mentioned). It was like best hits. With extra Batcave. Awesome.
