yes frank, you're right about the title. I'm watching it right now. He's wearing his formal Nehru jacket now, with the satin collar.
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

I have to say, the characterization of the hedge fund douchebag was spot-on. I mean, his attitude and the technical things he said sometimes veered towards parody, but I have met that person IRL many times. It was a much more fleshed-out and subtle characterization than I would expect to see in a TV show.

I feel sorry for that actor. He always plays a douchebag. He's very good at it, but oy, the typecasting.

Seriously.
I don't think anything could have made me more gleeful about this show than adding Mark Sheppard in what looks to be a recurring role (that's my assumption, not a spoiler). Except maybe the Kane music, cheesetastic as it was for that scene.

Which show are we talking about now?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Leverage.
And, yeah, that actor seems never to be sympathetic.

I think that the douchbag hedgefund guy was totally based on Michael Iavarone who is the main guy in the group that owns Big Brown.
Other than that: I kind of think that they picked the wrong horse names for the "lost heir" thing. But they did pick names recognizable to most people.

I find it interesting that twice now he's taken on jobs in order to get revenge on his ex-company, only to end up helping them.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Just watching the first Leverage now. The scene with CK. Yeah, that one. Hee.
I totally get it.
Still a shame about the hair, though.
