I can't bring myself to read the spoilers. I'm trying to find the show for download right now, but I guess it's too early. Is it good? Maybe I should just look at a little spoilers...

Don't read spoilers! And yes it's fun. You'll enjoy it. You'll enjoy it more minus the spoilers. *g*

I did! I loved it. I also noticed the Catherine/Sophie thing. Weird.

I loved Eliot fighting that woman. (Sounds like Mikail Diane?) Anyway, fun episode. I can forgive this show just about anything as long as it's fun.

I thought this was a really fun one, too! :) And yeah, I was confused by the gravestone name as well. But Sophie (or otherwise) has turned out to be my favorite character; cheese or no cheese, there's something about her ongoing self-discovery that I find kind of moving. Sigh. I'm so easy... :)

Sophie... Sophie is definitely not my favorite character. She's okay and all, but I just haven't connected with her which is strange to me because she has all the hilarious lines about theatre. I don't know. Out of all of them, she's my least favorite.

Via Rogers' and Berg's twitter, the name change was intentional. Part of Sophie's "burying Sophie" thing.

Shirtless, wet fighting. And handcuffs... I made squeaky noises and David totally laughed at me. lol

Dear Leverage, symbolism is confusing when you don't use it on a regular basis.

Cons I get. Random symbolism I don't. If the entire show has been literal for two seasons, one random bout of symbolism is oh so confusing.

And if they HAD to have wet shirtless fighting I'm glad Eliot was wet and shirtless too. It was the only thing that made that scene NOT incredibly sexist.

I just figured the Sophie gravestone was just that Sophie really had been buried... that she was visiting the stone of that person (whether she was a real person whose identity she has assumed, or a fake one that she'd had to bury before :P)

And I was getting a little annoyed with the whole other team seeming like they were going to beat them.. but then they turned it all around and I loved it! :P Might have to watch it again without the annoyance :P

And god.. Eliot... just hot no matter what. Or with who. Just... *sighs*

Oh I'm WAITING for them to lose. I WANT to see them eventually lose. It's boring when they win all the time. I did like the turn around though. *g*

And I don't buy the whole Sophie is a name she stole from a corpse. That would be too easy to trace. Bah. Oh well, fun train... I'll ignore it for the fun train. I really don't love that though.

:p That's my personal willingness to believe :P I figure if it's important enough someone will explain it eventually. Until then, i'm willing to overlook it for the rest of the show :P

And I don't mind the idea of them losing to someone.. just the way they were doing it in this episode was bothering me... because it was too complete on every level. One or two getting bested was one thing, but EVERYONE?? That was what annoyed me. If they really got beat because another team was just overall better or they had a bad day or something I would be totally behind that. Like I've said in other posts... I totally think Nate's coming up for a hard fall and the team will have to pick up the pieces. That I can totally get behind :P
