I'm fascinated by Nate's repeated insistence that he is not a thief. So, felonies are okay, fraud, kidnapping, assault and battery, conspiracy, but as long as you don't steal anything with your own hot little fingers, you're still a good guy? Nate, Nate, Nate. Your identity crisis is epic. I'm hoping you resolve at least some of your shit this evening, sir. Preferably without going to jail.
Oh, look at the pretties!

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm hoping that Sterling is in town about Blackthorne's character, and not our guys. That's the scenario I can see easiest keeps them out of jail, although they'll certainly be in jeopardy.
I think Nate uses "thief" to mean "bad guy." He may do bad things, but he's not a bad guy. And thieves are bad guys, right? Or maybe he'd say he does dodgy things.

Honestly, though, if I were a professional thief and my "boss" kept saying he wasn't a thief in the same tone he might use to say I'm not a puppy-fucker, I'd probably either quit or dangle him off a building until he apologized and admitted to being a douchebag.
I love Nate. But he is kind of a douche.
(I swear I never called anyone a douche-anything until I moved to New Jersey.)

Yes, but did you ever dangle someone from a building is what I want to know.

New Jersey: home of power plants, landfills, and other douche-worthy things (like my boss who I want to dangle out a window /NJ resident).
The season 1 finale was emotionally resonant, and I loved that! Just rewatched the final parting of ways with the alternating closeups of all their faces, the humming music, and then the cut to black mid-note. So so awesome. I'll take that anyday.

The kids give pops a lot of leeway. His mastermind cred gets him far. Until Lucille's demise, had anyone but Sophie pitched a fit at him? Even Tara fell in line quickstick when she saw his effectiveness.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Leverage: "Sterling. Like the machine gun, not the engine." Har. (Although perhaps "Like the pound" would have been a better joke.)

You better not make me hate Nathan. Seriously. Because he's getting close to crossing a line here.

Sterling going mad in the elevator was great.

God, I love these guys. I'm gonna miss them.
I figured Sterling was after Kadjic, but I hoped he wouldn't give Nate up with such glee. Maybe if their main job is evading the FBI lady...nah, it won't be that easy.
