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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.
Slap 'er, Joan!

“Not dead yet!”
Oh holy mother. Roger. Ick.

I literally gasped and put my hand over my mouth.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Aimee, I gasped too.
I'm loving Peggy this episode.

“Not dead yet!”
Anyone else left quite as thrown by the last fifteen or so minutes as I was? I think if last week was all about the subtext and metaphor, this week was a series of on edge, uncomfortable moments.
And God, but that last shot of Betty and Don was just heartbreakingly beautiful. And I couldn't help but wonder what prompted that gesture on his part-- does he really think, after seeing Roger and Jane, that Roger's really happy and he wants that? Or is it a case of for that one brief moment appreciating what he has with Betty?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I literally gasped and put my hand over my mouth.
My mouth was open the entire time Roger sang. The ENTIRE time. I was just so put off.
I thought Don wanted to talk to Betty about what Jane said, and perhaps instead of a conversation, he just held her. I also think that Betty understood why Don wasn't all the excited about going to the event and wanted to leave early. I think she got a picture of how odious his coworkers can be. I think that moment wrapped up a lot of stuff.

“Not dead yet!”
Speaking of Joan, too, that writing is on the wall that Greg's not going to get the Chief Resident position-- the question is, what's going to happen when he doesn't? I suspect he'll lash out at Joan, certainly he's got the history and the physical tics-- raping her in the office last season aside, he's such a manipulative, abusive SOB, even down to how he was with the vacuum-- yanking the cord from the wall and then blithely saying if it breaks, he'll just fix it.
He is easily one of the creepiest characters on the show.
