Two lovely episodes! Parker backstory, aww, and the Bunny of Flaming Boom was there on her bed! Hardison can play violin! Am I right that Aldis really does play? Nate's being a dick; he must be sober. He learned hypnosis in prison, really? I never thought of Scheherazade as a grifter before; thanks for that one, Sophie. Eliot's snarky "Wow, you're awesome!" at Parker nearly made me spit my drink. Who else thinks Eliot spent the night with the reporter lady?

Huh- doesn't look like Season 3 Leverage is up on Netflix on demand anymore.

Yeah, they pulled it off Netflix for some reason. It's still available on Amazon and iTunes.

I have them on my Tivo, but was gonna clear them off if I could see them on Netflix. Alas, no.
That's too bad about the Netflix thing, it made me so happy last season!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh my gravy, Hardison plays violin. I can die happy now. I buy it, too, there's lots of music/geek crossover.
"Scheherazade" turns out to be one of those words I only ever saw written and haven't pronounced. I did not connect those two things until I saw it written here. And then I was all, "Oh!" I don't know how I thought it was pronounced. I mean, I knew it wasn't, like, sketcherazady, but I definitely didn't have it right in my head.
I don't love the direction Sophie and Nate are going with mind control stuff. That's not stuff you play around with lightly, and I don't like it. I believe it, though, it seems completely in character for each of them to use it as mentioned.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
See, Nate could have told Hardison what he was gonna do with the mind control. But he's a prick.
I loved Eliot's slide kick in the Inside Job. Hawt. Loved his outfit too.
Electric Nate/Sophie moment there at the start of the ep too. Nate blanching when Sophie told him he was still working off the slap, plus the hotness of their proximity...
But Hardison and Parker shone in their respective episodes. Great stuff.

The hypnosis stuff really bothered me too. Nate's gonna be lucky if Hardison comes back, I think. (In fact, I almost wish that they would have to do a job with no Hardison, but it's probably just going to be lost by the wayside.)

Can you really hypnotize someone without them realizing it happened?

It seems to be part of the premise, that you can tell them to forget you ever did it.
I'm sure Hardison will be back, and we'll get a different dynamic between them. Proper mentoring perhaps.

supposedly yes with a really suggestible person.
