Those were great! I can't wait for new Leverage.

But what you're doing, JC, is ranking the Procedural thread over the Cable Drama thread, and that's subjective--I rank Boxed Set first, so supernatural procedurals fit very nicely there for me.

Very true. This is the first I've looked in here since April 17, but I always check Procedurals.

My Tivo has never heard of Leverage and I keep asking it to find it. It must be premium cable? Off to find out.

eta: It's TNT, which I thought was a normal cable station. Must investigate my cable lineup.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I just watched the first episode of Leverage ! It is so much fun. It's like Ocean's Eleven: The Show. Hardison is a geek! Eliot is a badass! Parker goes from cute to pretty to hot in just one episode! Sophie has an accent! Nate is helping the helpless! So many things I like in my television, all in one place. I'm looking forward to the rest.

Leverage is SO MUCH FUN. It's just fun. I don't even care that most of the plots don't make sense. It's just FUN.

And Parker is TOTALLY AWESOME. As is Hardison.

Heh. It is! I watched the second episode too.

And Parker is TOTALLY AWESOME. As is Hardison.

They are! Hardison remembers gravity and fears for his squishy man-bits, and Parker blows stuff up.

Aw, they're a "little more than a team." This is one of those shows about The Family You Make for Yourself, isn't it? Yay!

Hee. Fun watching the newcomers catch up. LEVERAGE was a hoot! And will be again!

Meh. I am not a fan of the Nate-is-an-alcoholic storyline. That is less fun, and it sort of appeared out of nowhere. (I mean, not NOWHERE, I know the guy is grieving over his son, but there wasn't so much a slow decline as "Suddenly this week, Nate's drinking all the time and everyone's worried about him!")

Three more episodes! And then I have to wait for more like the rest of you.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I thought that at first too, P-C, but going back and rewatching, there are signs of it in the pilot and first couple of eps as well.

Frankly, that's often the way that you see alcoholism. You don't really notice how much someone is drinking for a while, and then you suddenly think. Wow, Nate's drinking a lot.
