I kept having watch-from-the-hall moments while Nate was doing the magic.
Me too. His patter and stage presence was very incompetent-seeming, made me anxious.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I completely agree. I was anxious as well. The audience seemed to like the latter half of his act though.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm finding myself fast-forwarding through a lot of Hutton's scenes this season.

Most of the Nate and Sophie interaction was watch-from-the-hall for me. Especially with her encouraging him to talk with the other gal.
Parker and Hardison at the first magic show? Priceless.

Yeah, both those things.

I wonder if that was part of the con, to make people watch closer because they expected him to fail.
I was kind of bored for this ep, I don't know why.
I thought that the end was interesting, the conversation with Sophie and Eliot. Nate's exchanged one addiction for another.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I would really like at least one ep where the job does go absolutely smoothly. That was more fun to watch, or maybe all the OH NOes moments are just getting old.

Maybe that's it. I know that people were tired of things always going perfectly, but this is annoying. A mixture would be good. Or a con where it didn't go as planned, but they had a backup already in place.

Compassionately intolerant
How odd that I just read about David Copperfield being indicted on sexual assault charges before Parker pulled up "Chronos'" assault history. Ripped from the headlines!
Also, Lillian = Beatrice? Thin veil, people. Thin veil.

I have to say, having recently Netflixed last season, this one is very different in look and feel, and not in a good way. I still like it, but it feels off, especially in the dialogue and structure of the cons.
