I'm working my way through the S2 Leverage discs (I'll try and get yours in the mail by Saturday, Cass), and, just, ♥. Especially for Beth Riesgraf, who continues to be responsible for much of what makes Parker really stand out. I love that so much improv makes it into the show--in Montreal I was on the improv side of the comedy crowd and John was on the scripted side. He was never one of the comics that took the divide seriously (god, some were outright PISSY about it), but it does make me laugh that there's so much improv in his well-written baby.

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

Colin was part of that scene, right? Which side was he on? I'm guessing the improv?

Ayup. Incredible improviser. Our troupe performed at the same comedy club where John did standup, which is where we all met, even though we were all at McGill. The English-speaking Montreal comedy environment was pretty incestuous. And fucking talented.

Did anyone else feel a bit slashy when Raylan in his vest and Boyd in handcuffs were sitting in the ground talking? Just me, then? Ive never seen a lot of slash on this show until just then.
Oh, I'm sure that people are slashing the hell out of them. They used to "dig coal" together.

So are all the commentaries drunken commentaries, or is specific one(s)?
My season 2 discs arrived today. I think I need to watch the Two Live Crew episode with commentary, but I'd love to know the drunken one(s) if they are specific.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm only in by three episodes, but as far as I can tell, they're at least a little lit on all of them. I think they find that's one of the best parts of doing commentaries.

You can hear beer cans opening in #2 and #3, for sure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I finally watched Justified, and was coming in to say stuff about Walton Goggins on Fresh Air. She asked if Boyd was really (a) a white supremacist and (b) born again. He said no to the first -- because he wouldn't play the character if he actually was, and wouldn't answer the second -- he said he didn't think the writers knew either, when they started, but they do now. That dude was fascinating, and I love hearing people's real voices. Unrelatedly (except it was also on Fresh Air), I forgot how different Jerry Orbach's voice was from Lennie Brisoe's.

TiVo refuses to record Justified for me. It's weird. I have to manually force it, so I'm behind.
Oh, just started the commentary for The Fairy Godparents Job, and they start off by announcing what they're drinking. I won't spoil you, but Frakes is classy and shit.

Yeah, I heard one cracked at the beginning of the Two Live Crew Job. And OMG do they love that episode. Maybe more than I do, which is saying something.

Heh. Need to watch that commentary then. Frakes has done good work for them.
