I'm watching this and wondering how the hell this can not end on a horrible horrible cliffhanger, and Nate utters those words and smiles.

sigh

Whoohoo! God, I loves me some John Rogers.

Man, was that an entrance for Sophie, or what? She didn't have a line as powerful as "I'd like to test that theory", but it was wonderful nonetheless. I was too taken with it to be posting.

Eliot's countdown, Hardison with the wrench, Parker with the crazy eyes, Nate with the peace-making, Sophie with the really well-justified slap.

I CAN'T WAIT. I can't believe they haven't even started shooting yet.

Mother. Fucking. Hell.

I feel like I just had rough sex for an hour, and I'm just waiting for his junk to come back online to do it again.

That Was Perfect. A cliffhanger, and yet a complete ending. Rogers, you gorgeous bastard.

"I'm Nathan Ford, and I'm a THIEF!!!!" Nate embraces his fate. And he looked so happy, despite the gutshot. And Sterling looked like he'd lost...something. Not a friend, or a bet, but he looked like he knew he lost substantially.

His speech to the team had me tearing up. A show this fun shouldn't bring on allergies, dammit!

Can it be summer now? Please?

I'm glad Nate finally faced up to the reality that he's a thief, and accepted responsibility that his insistence on being involved in that particular con put his team in the situation where they got caught, but at the end I couldn't help but think -- yes, it's dramatic, but he's handcuffed, he's shot, and it still requires a squadron of agents to stand there with guns drawn on him? Isn't that a bit of overkill?

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.

Zenkitty for the prescient win.

Man, no cliffhanger?

Not that there is any doubt that Nate will be okay - but still.

And Eliot releasing the seriously scary, with his hair looking like the hair of a hardworking sweaty guy? Unsurprisingly, quite sexy.

But did you see how giant and fluffy his hair was before that? When they first got on the ship?

It was crazy!

The images of Eliot blowing out his hair every morning just will not stop coming. Because he must! There's no other way to get curly hair to DO that, trust me!

Unless he sleeps with those big rollers in...
