one thing i love about leverage redemption is actually something that was (accidentally) foreshadowed in the white rabbit job: nate’s crew was clockwork, plans and backup plans. chaotic scenarios tend to throw them a bit, and when nate doesn’t have a plan, my god does shit hit the fan.

but sophie doesn’t work like that—she never has. she goes in with a loose idea of a plan, but her adaptability is her strength, so that’s how she runs her crew. the only reason the redemption crew gets away with flying by the seat of their pants every episode is because they’re them.

and i don’t just mean them individually. yes, she’s sophie devereaux, and she’s THE parker. he’s alec hardison. he’s eliot spencer. they are each the best in the entire world in their respective fields. their names strike awe and fear into the criminal underworld.

but they’re also them. they’re the crew. they’re the family they built themselves up to be. they work together so easily, know each other so well, that even when shit hits the fan, they adapt.

i mostly prefer the way the original leverage episodes are formatted, but redemption being different from the ground up is both necessary and an amazing way to showcase the crew’s growth and flexibility in a way og leverage couldn’t have

the way that parker will just do cartwheels and flips and shit just to cross to the other side of a small room on a tight timetable

redemption fans have no idea what og leverage was like if you saw an og leverage episode you would piss yourself with how serious and unapologetic it is

ooh, the fact that sophie uses the name of lady charlotte prentice during "the lonely hearts job" is EXTRA good now with the added context from leverage: redemption

they're fighting grifters who did exactly what sophie did. lacie had the exact same problem that sophie did. their client, who sophie calls a romantic and wants to believe loved his wife? sophie had a husband who was the exact same way

"Hmm, it seems like we upset a lot of our fanbase with the Maria plotline last season... how can we coax them back?"

"...what about Hardison being a goddamn matrix-esque tech badass?"

"...that could work. Let's throw in some cocky banter during a fight because he's clearly confident Eliot has it handled and showing his faith in the other man too just in case."

Seems like Alex Walker did his fair share of vent practice as well. Parker would be proud of him.
