NEW CANON BITS AND PIECES
Today was a good day! John Rogers did a post-game for The Underground Job, and there was a cute little interview with Timothy Hutton and Beth Riesgraf.
"Suppose ParHardikerson, SoParphiker and HarEldisoniot each took on the Mof's SherWatlockson in a dark alley, who would win? Or would FoSterdling swoop in and claim victory?"
"To be fair, everyone in those pairings would be making out so hard, you could never resolve the fight."
First! From his wrap up. Great bits and pieces.
"Sophie's been schooling Parker off and on for three years now. Parker's's never going to be great at it, and she'll always do it in her weird, obsessive way, but Parker's at least dependable in the short con. Just don't throw a curveball at her. And note I said "dependable", not "good." That may seem like a fine distinction, but considering how Hardison is simultaneously inspired and awful in short cons, it's a distinction worth making."
"@Joella Blue: For two episodes now Parker has mocked Eliot's pain such as being hit by a car and by a tire iron. If this was a novel, I would think this is foreshadowing some event where Parker regrets or is made to regret mocking him. Either he turns on her or really gets hurt. Close? or waaay out in left field?
It's more a mix of her belief that Eliot is invulnerable and her own annoyance at the situation during the times in question. Empathy is not her strong suit. I'm not even sure she owns that suit."
"@J.J: I thought the "sounds like they were working out" comment was great but Is Parker really that naive about sex or is Parker just not a noise girl
Parker did not expect to hear those sounds in that context. I refuse to comment on her ... "noisiness."
"@Hardy: Did Parker sleeping in Hardisons van signify a growing comfort level/relationship or am I reading to much into it?
You know, we always kind of assumed she catnapped in weird places this whole time. It's a sign of trust, but nothing all that significant."
"@Jason Taylor: Where was Parker's bunny when she went to catch some soul-stealing rest in Lucille 2.0?
The Bunny does not leave the Lair. Ever." (w-whoops! :Db)
"Will Parker ever be the head of a con?
That ... is literally the most important question in the show." UH. WHAT. I WANT TO KNOW.

Interview bits! Beth Riesgraf is the one saying these quotes.
"I don’t think Parker’s a vain girl and she doesn’t think about her appearance in the way maybe some other girls would or whatever. I think her mind is like a computer so she sort of processes things differently than many other people would.The nature of what she does and her viewpoints on life, those types of things shape the way she talks and thinks. Her life experiences have shaped where she’s at now. And some of those barriers have started to come down a little bit because of being part of the team, and everything she’s experiencing with them."
"She loves the holidays. That’s one of the great things, I think, about Parker is that at any moment she gets really excited about things, and in [the] holiday episode you get to see that side of her. With Christmas and her enthusiasm about Santa Claus and all that stuff, there’s some pretty great stuff in that episode."
