Leverage 401 Commentary

Jun 27, 2011 12:20

All righty…so irishjeeper asked me to do this or well I should say she offered me a bribe (that I’m not accepting darlin’!) , sooo essentially. I watch the episode and I make comments, relate quotes, and blather on about it. I’ve already seen this a couple of times so keep that in mind as you read this.

THIS WILL MAKE NO SENSE IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE EPISODE.

Great commentary! I hear you on the wanting to know Sophie's real name. I was laughing so hard at the Hardison wanting a hug from Parker, getting one from Eliot and then Nate's look and comment of "what are you doing?"

I so called the distinctive footprint. I said it out loud right before Eliot did. My dad looked and me and kind of rolled his eyes. Hey, that it's got a distinctive whatever has kind of become one of Eliot's catch phrases, that and twirling objects.

*blushes* Thank you. Normally I get a bit snarkier, but this episode didn't really call for it.

At this point, the real name thing is going to get on my nerves soon. If they start harping on it...I'm going to get annoyed.

LOL I wanted to go "Are you looking to get crucified, Hardison?" the way he was standing there with his arms out.

*flails* Oh I said it with him because I totally knew it was coming. The twirling thing...Chris and Jensen cannot remember who taught who to twirl objects, but if you watch a bunch of their movies/shows--they both do it. It's kinda amusing.

hollymac_79 June 27 2011, 19:53:23 UTC

I'm hoping that they don't harp the fact about the real name to. I don't mind snark at all.

I was almost waiting for Nate to comment, "Seeing which way the wind is blowing?"

It's been a while since I've watched earlier episodes of Supernatural and my memory is a bit fuzzy but did Jensen twirl stuff there?

shanachie_quill August 28 2011, 01:56:30 UTC

Thankfully they don't seem to be harping on her real name.

*grins* Then you're in the right place!

ROTFL that would have been awesome!

Yes, Jensen did. Knives mostly. I believe the Colt a couple of times. Or his 1911. It's been a while for me too. I'll have to remember to ask a friend who's watching the early seasons now.

Oh my God! Cameron Daddo and F/X! I've only seen that show in German (since nobody actually THOUGHT about internet for private households back then - at least not in Germany), but I loved it to pieces! And Christina Cox! Yay! :)

And the German. The German gets me every time. At least Gina can pronounce it. So often I find myself cringing when people say things in German.

Tell me about it. *sighs* Though, as I wrote on my LJ lately, I can see why American or English actors can’t speak correct German, but cameos or small supporting characters? I’m still livid every time I watch Leverage S1 E09, The Snow Job, and hear that stupid supposed-to-be-Austrian girl ranting about how Sophie ruined her only photo on the internet. *fumes*

shanachie_quill July 31 2011, 02:27:32 UTC

I used to watch the show on a syndication channel on the weekends--like three or four episodes in a row--I LOVED it! And Christina! LOL she was on Blood Ties recently...the author who wrote the books that show was based on used to watch her on F/X and said that if Christina was a little older--she'd be perfect for Vicki...and wouldn't you know a few years later--she was!

Yeah, you'd think actors would work better on accents and all. *sighs* I know mine sucks on language--but I don't make my living that way!

irrlicht74 August 7 2011, 23:51:15 UTC

I loved it, too, but it hasn't been "re-aired" over here since then. :( Can I get it on DVD or something? And yeah, Blood Ties! The show wasn't all that great (at lest to me), but I liked Vicki and I absolutely loved Henry. :) Oh, I didn't know that the author of the books based Vicki on an older Christina Cox. That's great.

Like I said, I know that the actors couldn't be forced to learn another language. Not everybody is as interested in that as I am. Or just incapable. You can teach me maths for the rest of my life and I wouldn't be able to actually apply it to anything. *laughs* I'm just not made for sciences. I guess, the same goes for languages. But when then have the opportunity to hire a... idk, somebody who only has ONE line or something... It CAN'T be that difficult to find a person, who actually KNOWS the language.

She didn't base the character on Christina, just thought the actress would be good to play the part. Yeah Henry was awesome. I adored him. I think a lot of the show got lost because a lot of the characters got lost because of the choices Tanya had to make to get the show on the air.

Ummm...it isn't on DVD that I know of F/X. Blood Ties should be. I've got both on bootleg.

I wuv you Cake!

shanachie_quill July 31 2011, 21:51:11 UTC

LOL so glad you do!

So, some Park Rangers carry weapons. Mostly in high risk areas, like the back woods where you could run into dangerous critters that want your tasty flesh.

But on a basecamp at 50 000 feet, not so much.

Also, I was just reading up on it, and I discovered that in a federal park/wildlife preserve, Park Rangers can act as an officer of the law if no other officers are around.

So they can arrest people in their jurisdiction. I wasn't sure at first and was laughing at them just running into the tent and being all 'YOU'RE ALL UNDER ARREST' moments after the tape finished playing.

whogeek July 4 2011, 02:28:42 UTC

Yeah. And actually, in the US, Park Rangers actually have more power than other law enforcement. It's also more dangerous, because a lot of parks have huge swaths of land where contact with the outside world is tough without driving out of the area.

shanachie_quill July 4 2011, 03:13:33 UTC

See we can learn things from TV! Awesome to know!

I was just...I dunno...the whole gun thing just amused me for some reason...I have no idea why. Like there was no reason for it...it just did.

shanachie_quill July 31 2011, 02:34:32 UTC

Woohoo! Thanks for the information, bebe! Awesome sauce.

I was kinda amused that they had guns...I kinda knew that...but it was like O.O they have guns...when I was watching.

you do great reviews!

when Hardison had his arms out like that, I thought he was either waiting for lightning to strike (or summoning it), or doing his rendition of the crucifixion.

>Dude that guy is NOT Japanese.
maybe he learned Japanese to improve his chances at a promotion in a Japanese company?

>"a very distinctive footprint"
that gave me flashbacks to when he explained how he could tell what kind of gun was being fired based on the sound.

I didn't think they were going to fall...I thought they were going to trip over the frozen corpse.

up until they fell in that cavern, I thought the husband was hiding on teh mountain, eating berries or something to eke by.

he was a Sheriff on Eureka, I think. the superhero everyman.

well, at least Hardison didn't have a chance to say, "uh, Parker, my Nana's been dead ten years now" whether its true or not.

ps: do next week if you want to. (on the preview - was that Sterling being knocked against a tabletop?)

*blushes* Aw thank you!

>"a very distinctive footprint"

I'm sure that was the idea. And I loved it.

up until they fell in that cavern, I thought the husband was hiding on teh mountain, eating berries or something to eke by.
Unfortunately I knew he was dead or I was pretty sure he was.

he was a Sheriff on Eureka, I think. the superhero everyman.
The husband? Um, no. Pretty sure he's not Jack. Just cause well...no. I watch that show and no that's not Jack.

ps: do next week if you want to. (on the preview - was that Sterling being knocked against a tabletop?)
I've been trying to do every week, although I seem to have fallen behind. I need to catch up. And no it wasn't Sterling that week which I knew...but it seems like Rogers is keeping his ConCon promise to us (and Mark) and Sterling will return next week!
