Eliot's hair is definitely longer and has a curl to it that was not there last season.
I love the hair. A lot.
I must say, however, the fight scene in the last episode made me think "Why wouldn't the bad guy just grab that and yank?"

(though I am also not a fan of Sophie pushing Nate to date someone else, what the hell is that?)
I think that it's because he's the only one of them who can be honest in a relationship (as for work, he can go with "consultant" or "troubleshooter"), and she thinks that honesty is the reason that her relationships don't work out, so if that problem is solved, of course the people will be happy.

That makes sense. Not in an actual making sense way, but that she might think that, yeah.

His hair is longer and it seems to have more body.
I think it's the coloring more than the length for me.

I think this year's characterizations lack the subtlety of last season. And have they totally dropped Hardison/Parker? There's more of the rest of the OT3 than that at the moment.
I dunno. I agree the feel is a little off, although I love some of the individual moments, certainly.
I think it's my competence kink. I'm missing the swagger. Which is probably why I'm still loving Hardison. He's still in his element, even though Nate is perhaps feeling out the new real him, minus the alcohol.

I don't know. All I can see is Hardison/Eliot. I mean, the scene with them under the desk was slashtastic.

I think what's off or missing to me is the element of shit-eating-grin FUN. If the characters being too awesome and omniscient means that the Clooney-Pitt Ocean's Eleven vibe comes back, then I'm all for it.

I'm stoned. "shit eating grin" has suddenly lost any slang meaning and just sounds nasty and why is it an expression?

Julie's on to something I think. Hardison and Eliot's blase arrogance grated on me in the beginning of this ep. They were almost bored with what they were doing.
