I agree, it was kind of meh. That so many of the clues were on Facebook was kind of clever, but also a handicap for being watchable TV. I like the idea of Gus wanting to investigate something that Shawn doesn't think was a crime, but that fizzled, too.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah--I think they made Gus too wrong. I want him to have more agency--that's why I liked last week so much.
First time I've really noticed the pineapple, though. Which goes to show I wasn't sucked into the narrative.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I loved the "lead" investigator gag. Made me laugh every time. And I liked that Gus got to be lead investigator.

But he didn't, really. He just got to state his suspicions, and initiated the red herring exorcism. Shawn still took the lead in all the discussions with other people. That's what I found disappointing.

Our wings are not tired.
Did I mention my LOVE of Hardison's "Handcuffs. Y'all nasty"
Finally watched this week's Leverage. Loved so much. It may be my favorite episode so far. The dueling crews were a complete delight.

I just watched a Doctor Who (City of Death) that has the same grift as this last episode of Leverage. If only they made one Whovian ref. I mean, another one. If they realised that one.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
