Scrappy, I KNOW, right? I just finished rewatching the episode and caught some stuff I'd missed while milling about on the first watch. I don't expect Ron Perlman is a great kisser (sorry Hellboy!), but that scene did indeed steam.
Other nice notes:
Gemma and the Priest. Then Gemma doing service to Chibs in need. The Chief declaring his intentions. Man. There was some great stuff in this episode.
I thought Ally Walker did a good job with Stahl's fear reactions, but I really was distracted by whatever that poor woman has done to her face.
Can't wait to see if they give Henry Rollins any real dialog (he's been uberwooden so far) when he finds out Zobele's secret.
And, I called it, if only in my head...what Zobele is up to. That bastard. Nice work from Adam Arkin. I loved him as Ted on Life and whatever his name was on Chicago Hope, but man, he can bring the slimy. Smooth evil is so much more chilling to me than crazy evil.
Yeah, what the hell is up with her face? Anyone know?
google gives me nothing on Ally Walker except other people saying the same thing. It's sad because she initially got blogger kudos for NOT getting a boob job.

I think that it's Botox. Heather Locklear did the same thing. It's like the Joker smile - really wide with a little turn up on the ends.
I watched the last two eps right after the other. Fucking amazing TV. I continue to be wowed by Katy Sagall's work.
I am also really impressed with Kim Coates' work as Tig. I never would have thought that character could be redeemed. The confession and just taking it when Opie was wailing on him, stopping himself with Gemma, and realizing what Gemma needed.
and I loved Clay's intense "I want to be with my wife" and the look on Gemma's face.
Oh! and I loved that Tig threw himself over Clay without hesitation.
I've been shamed. Here is the correct thread for re-post:
Leverage comes back January 13.
more details below:
TNT has settled on a return date for its original series "Leverage": Wednesday, January 13 at 10:00/9:00c.
The news was confirmed to the site exclusively this morning.
TNT has six episodes from the show's second season yet to air. The series will then return for its third season in the summer of 2010.
Also due in January: new episodes of "Men of a Certain Age" (continuing on Mondays at 10:00/9:00c) as well as the off-network premiere of NBC's "Southland" (Tuesdays at 10:00/9:00c starting January 12).
SOA: Is it wrong that I found Tara wailing on the hospital admin immensely satisfying?
Nope--I think that scene totally satisfied our collective inner hatred of petty officiousness.
Yes, it did. And did anyone else notice that Tara's stance with her hand on her hip was very reminiscent of Gemma?
I'm very excited, I thought that this was the season finale. I can't wait for next week!
