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

That's Wil. And the guy Apollo is the thievery consultant for the show, really called Apollo.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Okay, if her shirt is going to come off, his better come off too.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The Post-It note was a nice touch.

I feel completely satisfied by the equality of this episode.

And I like that Elliot was the scheming seducer. Usually it's the woman tricking the man. Also, hawt.

The Post-It note was a nice touch.

As was the smiley face.

How much did I love that WW's character is known as the "Kobyashi Maru" (sp?)? And the fact that Parker was the only other one to get it?

Didn't they use that or something similar as a word of warning? Something Hardison kept trying to drill into Elliot, and then it actually worked.

Yep, I'm good. And actually, despite the fact that she was wet and in her bra, I didn't feel like they played it for sex. It was a nod to the ridiculous conventions of TV and movies, but there wasn't a slow pan up and down her body. She just got back to kicking ass.

It was the titles of Star Trek movies odd and even. Which Eliot failed to care about, but when Ralph O'Khan got paged he got the the message.

We got more of a torso shot of Eliot than of her. I don't think we got to see her ribcage.

He looked good wet.
