I'm watching BL too, and it's really good. (I think there's some sporadic BL discussion in Premium Cable thread, but I rarely go in there.)
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

OK, much as I love LEVERAGE, they are really straining the outer bounds of already thin credulity that (a) Parker ever would have made it past voir dire to get stuck on a jury, especially with so much shenanigans going on behind the scenes, and (b) that they get away with being out there publicly without anyone keeping any record of them - Hardison as a lawyer? That would get noticed by SOMEBODY.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think the ability to create seamless IDs is just part of the premise. Parker passing as a normal human in front of a lawyer and Lauren Holly's character? Mmmhmm.

You noticed Frakes directed, right?

It's more that in episodes like this, they just seem a little too high-profile to keep flying under the radar going forward. Still enjoyed the episode a lot, but I hope some of this bites them a little in the future (not this episode per se, but the high-profile stuff they've been pulling).

From the preview, it looks like some shit hits the fan somewhere in the 2-part finale.

You'd be surprised what people get away with for voir dire. Especially if there's a limited jury pool.
(b) that they get away with being out there publicly without anyone keeping any record of them - Hardison as a lawyer? That would get noticed by SOMEBODY.
No, not really. There are a lot of lawyers out there. There is a small sticky wicket with having to enter your appearance and tell them your bar number, but it's not that big of a deal.
