"The Ho Ho Ho Job": Awww, this is such a cute episode. "I want flurries! Make it happen." AND THEN HARDISON LOOKS LIKE HE REALLY WANTS TO. OMG Parker's million-dollar tree decorations! "Respect the suit!" Lucille 2! Hahaha, I love the evil Santa's Christmas weapons- candy-cane crowbars, toy bags full of chainsaws. "Driver lady! And pushy consultant guy!" "You killed my friend's van."! Beards or no beards for the Santa fight! Parker's gift was cash, hahaha, of course! Aww, and her catching a snowflake on her tongue.
"The Big Bang Job": "Not everything blows up." "Let's go steal the Department of Defense."/"Isn't that treason?"/"We'll give it back." ahahahah! Oh, Eliot, learn how to share info. That must have been a really fucking heavy chair to nearly drown Hardison. Just sayin'. When I was a lifeguard, they make you haul 50 pounds off the bottom of a 12-foot deep pool, and I really doubt an office chair weighs more than 50 pounds. Also, Hardison can presumably lift more than I can. Awww, Eliot has guilt. Eliot did the dramatic firing guns while leaping sideways thing! I love it! This gun fight is so silly. "You know what I'm in the mood for? Pretzels!" Oh, Hardison. She likes it when you blow stuff up. :DD Good lord, Eliot in a tank top. Those are quite some muscles. I didn't think I was into him.
"The San Lorenzo Job": ...is this actually an episode about the difficulties of post-colonialism? Come on, Leverage, American TV can't handle those sorts of issues. Hahahaha, Eliot trying to explain why steam vents are bad to Parker. Wait, so is this the Island ofDr Moreau? "We got this- ah, hell, it's Moreau." Jesus christ, Leverage, y'all are corrupting this poor man on fast forward. OMG HARDISON'S EVIL POLITICAL AD. OMG WHAT IS WORSE THAN A SCANDAL INVOLVING MONEY OR SEX? Adorable puppies! Man, this episode is so depressing about politics. "I have a 24-year-old genius with a smartphone and a problem with authority. You never stood a chance." AHAHAHAHAHA.
"The Long Way Down Job": Oh, Hardison. I share your feelings, re: cold. "Are there avalanches on skyscrapers?"/"No. But that would be SO COOL." Oh, Hardison. Did you sleep with Parker and then think you needed to protect her? Tsk, tsk. "Very distinctive footprint"! The very distinctive thing is forever funny to me. Why would you bring your mortgage payment diary with you up a mountain? Because otherwise there wouldn't be an episode, I guess. OMG PARKER WANTING TO DO THE RIGHT THING. OMG ELIOT'S SPEECH ABOUT 'IT WAS GOOD IT WAS US'. OMG HARDISON CRYING "Y'ALL ARE MY PEOPLES". Oh, clever Parker. Does Hardison have like 27 bottles of orange soda in that fridge? "You realize this isn't going to be normal", awwwww. Parker meeting his nana! Eliot cooking! <3<3<3
I also watched the Oscars last night, but don't have much to say about that, as it was fairly boring. As Oscars traditionally are! I'm glad 12 Years a Slave won; I had some problems with it when I first saw it, but it's stuck in my mind much more than movies usually do, and I've liked it better the more I thought about it.

3. Eliot's tank top is almost as awesome as Hardison's tank top
4. I FORGOT THE ADORABLE PUPPIES, THAT WAS THE BEST, as was the light but not-messing-around take on post-colonialism and also the narrow margin of available roles for women in political revolutions
5. Hardison's problem with authority is almost as awesome as Parker's problem with authority
6. I think that Parker is Hardison's first relationship ever (ASK ME ABOUT MY STRONGLY-DEFINED THEORIES ON HARDISON'S ROMANTIC PAST) and so he kind of goes into hovering mode. But then he stops! It is awesome.
7. the very distinctive thing is the best of all things.

4. Yes, Sophie as the martyr that makes the last stage of revolution possible is... accurate/awful/very her.
6. I could really see that! Especially considering how sort of awful he is at trying to flirt in the flashbacks in "The Rashomon Job". But yes, I do like that he stops, and then Parker hugs him at the end. ♥
