I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There's all sorts of crazy ordering issues with the first season.

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

The Wedding Job (which is inexplicably on the first disc)

The episodes were aired out of order. I can't quickly google the right order (because they annoyingly have an episode called The Order 23 Job which frells everything up), but The Wedding Job definitely aired in the wrong place. I don't remember if the DVDs put stuff back in originally intended order--some changes were sensical, some NSM.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

"Did you just kill a guy with an appetizer?"

I dunno. Maybe?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I loved how he bypassed a rolling pin and possibly a knife to grab the lemon-juice-soaked appetizers instead. They sounded delicious, too. I despised the mother as soon as she spit them out.

Can Nate actually marry people, or is that wedding invalid? "By the power vested in me by ... this glass of brandy ... look, one of my best friends is a priest, that's close enough!"

Going by the Amazon listing, the episodes are on the DVD in a different order than how they aired, so I shall blithely assume that they are on DVD in the order intended.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The airing order was totally screwed up. Like, 3 of the episodes aired where they were supposed to.

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

The drinking, Nate/Sophie, and Parker's socialising are probably the greatest casualties of the reshuffling. But the drinking is pretty consistent throughout.

My Leverage DVDs are here. See y'all in about 12 hours.

Okay, finally found what I was looking for--DVD order is the original intended order, yes, even though at least one of the switches was done by the writing crew.

1.) The Nigerian Job
2.) The Homecoming Job
3.) The Wedding Job
4.) The Snow Job
5.) The Mile High Job
6.) The Miracle Job
7.) The Two Horse Job
8.) The Bank Shot Job
9.) The Stork Job
10.) The Juror #6 Job
11.) The 12 Step Job
12.) The First David Job
13.) The Second David Job

Have mainlined first season of Leverage. It occurred to me that I can't think of any other show that (in first season at least) did not have any bad episodes. There weren't even really any "eh" filler episodes. It's just really really good.

And now I'm spending New Year's Eve streaming the second season. If my computer cooperates.

OK, I'm enjoying the hell out of Leverage, but I just had to pop in to say the unsubtle product placement of the Hyundai Genesis in every episode is really funny. I'm just hoping no one yells, "Quick! Get the Hyundai Genesis!"

Not that it's not a good car. I mean, you know. Credit where it's due.
