LEVERAGELEVERAGELEVERAGE!!

Yes, I watched threefour and about a third times last night. What?

Exploding crotch! Hope diamond! Hacking the white house! I did the finger thing! People like locks! Nate getting totally conned by the team! Landlords!

SOPHIE AND ELIOT not CHECKING OUT NATE'S KINK STASH WTF???!!?

I NEED AT LEAST FOUR MORE VIEWINGS. NOT BECAUSE I AM CONFUSED. BECAUSE IT IS, umm, FRIDAY.

Finally, in case anyone's interested: Jon Rogers is doing fun post-show wrapups at the blog, apparently after each ep. It's a fun blog anyway.

I love that blog. This comment made me laugh (whitefonted, because I'm not sure if he's kidding or not):

Although we haven't done a proper wheelchair fight yet. I think we just shot the meat cvleaver fight last week ...

You know, I'm still not sure I get the briefcase thing. The flashback showed the guy stealing the briefcase from the car, and then Eliot said he found an empty briefcase by the crash...but we already knew that. I didn't understand what the "reveal" was supposed to be at the end. The guy took the papers out of the briefcase and left it empty by the crash, right?

I'm not sure if he's kidding or not

I spent a lot of my vacation time this summer mainlining Brisco County Jr, and the catchphrase for, apparently, everyone involved in the show in any way was " just under over-the-top". I'm realizing that Leverage is in exactly that place for me.

IOW, I have no idea if he's kidding. But I wouldn't be at all surprised if they did it.

You know, I'm still not sure I get the briefcase thing.

The fact that he was in possession of a stolen briefcase is incriminating.

Yeah, and the line just under over the top is a fine, fine line.

Right, re: briefcase. It's like they framed him for what he actually did.

Which I guess means it's a good thing they're using their powers for good and not for evil.

Landlord! Hardison is so hot when he's in control. IJS. It's my old competence kink kicking in.

You know, I'm still not sure I get the briefcase thing.

The fact that he was in possession of a stolen briefcase is incriminating.

No, I get that. But I don't understand why there were these flashbacks to why he had the briefcase. We already knew Eliot had taken the briefcase and they'd been using it. Was there some new connection we were supposed to make?

Just reinforcing the old connection, I think. I had forgotten they had it, so the flashback gave me a chance to go "Oh, right, *that* briefcase"

The briefcase was the one that was stuffed with cash that Nate gave him. The cash in the briefcase was stolen from the safety deposit boxes, so it looks like he was robbing from his own bank.

So the detail I want to know about is about that money. When they get the money "From where?" "Where do you think?" sort of exchange, does that mean that they went back into the bank with the master key? 'Cause I didn't think they were all nunned up in that flashback, were they? And if not, how did they get back in? There would be cameras, right?

It's a character point difference, because otherwise Parker (and Hardison, yes, but Parker's the one breathing the money fumes) just stole the money with no use for it at the time.
