Leverage

"The Radio Job": Haaa, Hardison is a conspiracy theorist. I really want to know what Parker wants a time machine for. "I'm tired of being pushed off of buildings", ahahaha! And Parker and Eliot just man-handling him around! Hey, it's Nate's dad! I totally saw that coming. But ha, I love the Leverage team having an intervention about ten feet away while the dad ignores them. "I know everything about you! I know about your rage, your blind rage!"- so, Nate, you're pretty clearly yelling at yourself here. I could do with less flashbacks but, to be fair, that's probably because I watched the other Nate's-dad episode last month, not two years ago, unlike people watching this when it aired. "In Homeland, we aren’t paid to think. We’re paid to act" This... this is a parody, right? It's a hilarious parody! I just hope it's not serious. "Yippee-ki-yay, mother--" / "Found it!" HAHAHAHAHA. Parker's time-machine fantasy! LOVE. C'mon, Nate's dad: if you had started running when Nate first said, instead of arguing about it and making dramatic speeches, you might have made it out in time. Dramatic reveal at the end annnnnd… I totally don't remember who this character is.

"The Last Dam Job": "Your very first victim." Ah, okay, that dude. Whoa, Parker looks SO different with dark hair. Hahaha, Parker on the roof of the van. Ha, Parker literally stole candy from a baby (well, a child)! "This is my daughter." / "Bye Sis!" AW YES GOOD ALSO HILARIOUS. Cha0s! I am oddly fond of Cha0s. It's a finale, so I suppose they must get kicked out of their home. "You got me a batcave?!" OMG HAHAHA. I''m oddly amused that Eliot's not-a-friend also has a ponytail. OMG HARDISON BEING NERVOUS AROUND PARKER'S NOT-A-DAD. <3<3<3 "I get up every morning looking for him." Awww, Eliot. Hey, it's Maggie! Ew, Maggie- you had a crush on Sterling? He looks like a weasel. Uh, Nate, I'm not sure if deliberately manipulating people into killing each other/themselves is really that ethically above pulling the trigger. "Eliot signal!" AHHHHH YES. "What would you put on it? Like a wolf? Or a knife? A wolf is cooler." HAAHAHA.


Only one season left! :O

I may or may not be writing the Parker + Timemachine fic. I love that Leverage takes the 'rage and manpain' narrative that is so common to male main characters and deconstructs it completely and calls Nate out on his shit. It is totally a parody. I'm pretty sure the production team have said that the local police officer is in Die Hard, instead of Leverage.

Parker with dark hair looks scarily like someone I know, haha. Parker has a family! Look! Chaos is hilariously awful. The Batcave! This whole episode is so so so great. "Nobody cuts the cake until someone tells them to cut the cake"! "They hacked us with clams"! I'd been shipping Maggie/Sterling since S1, so I felt oddly vindicated by this scene. Also! Notice how Maggie and Sophie are friends. It's Nate, his morals are always a bit wobbly. Eliot Signal! There should be a Leverage superhero AU where Eliot is Batman, seriously.

Oh no! I'll miss talking Leverage with you.

YES I WANT TO READ THAT.

Yes, exactly! I love that about the show. And haaaaaa, yes, there were so many excellent moments in the show.

Well, I'll keep posting about whichever show I start next! I haven't decided which to watch yet, though, as I have a million on my list. But maybe it'll be something you know!

[dhampyresa.livejournal.com]

I might know it, but it won't be Leverage. I love Leverage.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm also sad you're coming to the end of the Ben January books!

[dhampyresa.livejournal.com]

I'm sad to reach the end of them too! I enjoyed discovering your canon while you discovered mine, I don't think I've had the two simultaneously with the same person before. It was cool.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

It has been really fun! Of course, at the rate I'm going, I probably have another month of so of Leverage, so it won't be over too soon.

[dhampyresa.livejournal.com]

YAY Leverage! And of course I'm writing fic for the Benjamin January books, so that won't be over super soon either. /slow writer

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

:DDD I am so excited for your fic! There's so few stories in the Ben January fandom, and I don't really get any pleasure out of rereading my own books. I can't wait to read yours!

[dhampyresa.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure you've read most of it already, lmao. I do have a bunch of ideas to write after I'm done with this one, though I'm not sure if I'll end up writing all of them.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee, yes. But I look forward to more! And having it all together in one place. Well, I will be happy to read any ones you do write.

Parker's time machine fantasy and Hardison's Doctor Who fixation are great tastes that go great together. There is a fic actually where she is a Time Lady and he's her Companion, though obviously I can't find it now.

It is so totally a batcave.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

YES. I will be looking for that fic very soon.

It is!
