Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

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.

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.

Trust my rage

I am enjoyingParker, Hardison, and Eliot this season but Nate and Sophie both seem off to me. I agree with those who mentioned feeling anxious watching Nate. I felt the same way when he was the general and it wasn't just his hair.

There were enjoyable moments (Parker and the psuedo homeless guy, the never having regular jobs, and Parker poking Eliot) but there was also much awkwardness. And what was the point or the dr. drinking so much?

I just read that as temptation for Nate. A reminder how it used to be.

I think Sophie is off for me because all the "no, she isn't pregnant" blocking, so she can't move naturally. Nate...it feels like they are trying to build him up for a big fall. And not in a graceful way.

I didn't know about the pregnancy until just now but that makes sense.

Nate, well, I don't know. He has seemed off to me since the first episode actually.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think that they're going to have hitches in most of their cons from here on in. Nothing concrete, but I get the impression they're veering away from any apparent omnipotence, although I'm sure they'll always win in the end.

I think it took a while for the chemistry to re-gel, but I feel it in full force now. I really like the inter-character moments, especially when Hardison or Parker is interacting with anyone. I'm curious to see where Sophie's concern with Nate goes, especially since Gina's so huge they have to be writing her out soon.

Why does Nate feel off? (He does to me, too.) Is it a fundamental difference in the character, or is he now just sober!Nate?

For me, a lot of it is the physicality. It's almost as though he moves like someone older. He used to stand up straighter, not move his arms as much. He had better hair last season, too :)
