Leverage 1.11
Uh oh... people falling over is bad.
Parker freaking out is probably bad. But Eliot calling her loco and pointing that normal people will be there? Totally makes up for it.
Not sure how I feel about him crying to Sophie though.
HI BRENT SPINER!!!!
Although I'm surprised they took the crazy train and let Parker in.
Wait, did Parker notice that earpiece? Isn't the point that you can't see them? ::frowns::
And oh, hey there. She was the director on NCIS for a while wasn't she? The red head I mean?
::snerks:: Sophie picking a fight over sports.
Awwww poor Hardison. He made his own tech and someone else has it?
... Ok. I hate Sophie being right as much as... Wow, way to slip mister observant. How could you not realize that was out of the ordinary?
Wow, is that the first time we've heard Alec's name? And why doesn't he get a flashback? ::hugs him::
Awww Eliot's face when he finds out he doesn't get to watch the game. And he takes his beer back. Hehehehe.
::snerks:: Tuckus.
I love that they've just hacked into her system.
Yay Parker being right! And it's adorable that she doesn't remember her cover. Which is probably kind of a bad thing. But.
Stealing a jury... Didn't they make a movie about this? Cussack and Weiss and Hackman? Was a good movie... I like Nate being all cheerful about it though.
NO NO NO NO EPIC FAIL DENTON! Right in the middle of... Gah!
Coming back in the middle of Eliot and Hardison searching through garbage which... ::snickers:: he throws the garbage at him. Love it. Their banter = win.
Is Sophie going for Indian? Like the hair extensions. Verrrry nice. And I'm very much enjoying Spiner in this episode.
DEVLIN! ::waves:: Looking like a deer in the headlights no less.
::giggles and dies:: The role play session is. Amazing. "Do it for me." and "I put a razor blade in that apple" Hee~ I love my dysfunctional little group.
Oooh, interesting tactic. Yeah, I figured Parker was lifting stuff off of everybody. But did she just... she did. Smooth.
I like them showing Sophie putting the hair in.
Oh. Oh Hardison. In a suit and tie and playing lawyer. Verrrry nice.
This episode is a quirky balance between group dynamic (for the most part without Nate, which feels odd, given where last week left off) and pure job. I like Hardison's expanded role, here, but I also really want a flashback. He's said the most about his past, though, I suppose. But that doesn't really balance out in terms of the weight of a scene.
Although thinking on it, neither has Sophie. She suffers from being tied so closely to Nate. Their relationship defines so much of who she is that even the potential flashbacks, which had to be cut from the script (ie: Mile High Job) are tied to Nate. Then again, I'm theorizing that Sophie doesn't even know who she is, is trying to define herself by Nate, and is failing because he isn't who she thought he was.
Filibuster for the win Hardison.
And oh, oh Parker. You're so adorable. "That's what friends do" ::hugs her::
"You know why Justice wears a blind fold? To hide the Justice is asleep." <3
ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS. Another one? Really? ::cries:: Insert another missing chunk of time.
What's this about shoes? Dammit. I'm missing all the good stuff. ::huffs::
So wait. Nate can whisper in everybody's ear but Hardison's? You can't help him out a little?
Ok, that Sophie and Parker scene was actually really sweet.
Nate. NATE. What the hell? You had Eliot get hit by a car? ::snerks:: And he still kicked their asses.
Ok. The role he's playing totally makes up for it. Own bodily waste... ::gigglesnorts::
Wait. Quark? And Frakes is directing, right? It's a Trekkie reunion!
Awwwww the wife is so sweet.
Ok, Hardison. Prove you're as awesome as I know you are. Oh. They used someone on a no fly list? That was a mistake. Good call, Alec! ::is proud::
"I'm a sexy monkey" WIN
Aw. The look on Parker's face for his speech. Was a good closing speech too, very very touching. Oh, oh she looks utterly terrified now they're deliberating...
Eliot in a hoodie and the hat is better looking than it ought to be.
Everybody has their price, I guess.
And oh. OH that is beautiful. That's just gorgeous. Nice play with the recutting the sound.
And with the chess piece.
"You made a friend, not Alice." "Oh. Do you think she'll wanna steal a painting with me?" Too adorable...
I really enjoyed this episode. Course there's never been an episode I haven't enjoyed. I wish I could have seen the whole thing uninterrupted though. Parker and Hardison really really shined, and for once, finally in ages, I didn't get completely agitated with Sophie. And I swear I was going somewhere with that, had more thoughts...
Well. I should get back to coding now. Although I've just been very distracted by Bones because Boreanaz was yelling at someone named Carlson. Who, of course, ends up dead....
