I thought Leverage went out nicely. If it had be picked up (which was unlikely but still totally in the realm of possible when it was written and filmed), they had new places to go. But it wasn't and it was a lovely swan song. Plus, it ended with quite the lovely OT3 scenario.

I will say that on first view, it's not clear when they switched from the medicine for kids job to the actual big job as far as the team knowing. I liked the show enough that I'll happily rewatch but there are unraveling strings when I try to make it all gel just in my head.

I still think it was a lovely sendoff. More casual viewers won't notice because it worked well at the time. More obsessive viewers will watch again. And hopefully the grok will follow when I do.

The promos for Dallas are kinda creeping me out with the JR Ewing stuff.

I hear you on Dallas. I zip past them so for all I know they are quite respectful, really, but that's just a weird situation.

I had the impression that the medicine was entirely made up for telling stories to Interpol purposes.

That's what I thought too- Nate as the Unreliable Narrator.

Head canon accepted. I think it only even made me wonder because Nate and a sick, dying kid who needs medicine is Thing. Which is also what makes it a great story for them to use in the con.

Exactly.

Oooh, I was wondering about that too, but that does make sense.

That was a pretty great series finale, and I can't really imagine how they would have planned to continue the show after that. I mean, I suppose they could have (would they bring Nate and Sophie back in or just let them actually leave?), but it really works as the end of a series in an Angel way: "Let's go to work." I wish we had seen more of Nate's grooming Parker, Hardison, and Eliot. There was that one scene with Hardison in the premiere, and maybe a few lines here and there, but the scene with Parker was a bit weird because we haven't really seen him bringing her in the planning, have we?

Nice job, Team Leverage.

I agree with this.

Wow. And huh. Finally caught up on Leverage, and I have no idea how John was only 50/50 on renewal/cancellation a month ago. Did they have a different ending in the can?

Amazing how different Parker looks in red. Amazing how amazing Parker looks in red. Nah, not amazing. In the sense that she usually looks amazing.

Would her and Gillian Jacobs playing sisters be too matchy matchy?

Finally caught up with the Leverage series (sniff!) finale. Loved it. Loved. I loved that even though Nate won, Sterling basically got the last word. I loved that they left two happy couples happy and coupled. And I'm intrigued that Parker is taking Nate's role as the face of the company; I would have thought Hardison. But he's also better less known/behind the scenes.

Also, on a complete tangent, I want to see Beth Riesgraf. in a TV or Movie adaptation of Questionable Comment as Hannelore. Maybe Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Martin?
