#leverage stuff

I love, love, love Leverage so much, but the MST3k mantra of Just repeat to yourself, it’s just a show, I should really just relax goes through my head like three times an episode when I know that technology doesn’t actually work that way, Hardison, especially not in 2007 or No, even really good social engineering would always work so perfectly every time, Sophie or The cops would DEFINITELY stop them if this were real life or Their faces have been on TV way too much now for SOMEONE to not recognize them when they get put on TV yet again.

Like this is not an actual criticism of the show, it’s make believe, but especially with the technology I am constantly fighting my own brain’s tendency to be That Guy (tm) about how things work when I’m watching it.

(I still love it so much and always will.)

Spoiler tag just in case anyone still cares about Leverage: Redemption s2 spoilers?

I'm sorry, you cannot tell me that Eliot "'Till my dying day" "I don't have to search anymore" Spencer somehow went eighteen years without ever once mentioning to his best friends who are both foster kids that he's also adopted.

Okay. The end of Redemption s1? Kinda slaps. Is that mostly because Alec Hardison is back? Maybe. But Sophie monologuing and Bre showing off how much she learned from Parker are pretty heavy hitters, too.

I'm being vague in this one on purpose because I don't want my whining to end up in the tags and annoy people but what the heck was that episode lmao

The number of rookie mistakes??? The forced romance subplot??? I'm. What. Huh.

Well, I know the timing on this kind of sucks, but. More posting about the idiot robin hood found family whose show cruelly was apparently not renewed again T_T

S5 so far has been kinda eh for me, but the character dynamics are great, which is the most important thing tbqh. I'm even slowly getting on board with Nate and Sophie, which I wasn't sold on for the first four seasons.

Also damn the ot3 is really ot3ing aren't they.

Hey, the fact that "The Grave Danger Job" ended with a cheek kiss?!?!?!?

As a patented lover of hugs and cheek kisses, I am so well-fed right now.

[risualto]

Okay, "The Rashomon Job" was so fucking funny. Good job. That was cute af.
