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.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

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

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.

Yeah, but given the whole vibe of the show, I wish it had been more "Nick & Nora" and less of a "thing".

I agree, megan. They played it a little for laughs (loved Parker's assertion that he was getting creepier), but when it got Very Serious, it didn't feel right.

yeah, that would have been nice, but we don't allow that anymore.
