ISTG, I better not hear that pronunciation of "Worcester" in this episode again, because that one made my ears bleed.
You're in good company.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
In last night's Leverage, was the fact that John Schneider's character planned to steal a song that had already been performed publicly by someone else who had gotten enough attention from the performance to have a bunch of fans just a really big plot hole, or did I miss something?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
No, I thought that too. I mean, it was the same bar, enough people to have gotten Eliot rabid Twitter fans....not very logical.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, that didn't make much sense. I wasn't a huge fan of the episode, honestly, as much as I love Alona Tal. It seemed too broad and silly for a lot of it, and it was clearly written just for Christian Kane to sing a song (and they basically had the same scene of "Ooh, look, just like Hodge/Kane, Hardison/Eliot can actually play the violin/sing"). I don't know, the whole episode felt a little too over-the-top and schmaltzy.

Yeah, it wasn't very FUN.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ask John!
It wasn't one of my favourites, but I was half dead watching it. But normally character moments stick with me, even if the nuances fall through the cracks. Not that much this time.

Yeah, it wasn't very FUN.
There were some nice moments here and there (like Eliot fighting the guy in the soundproof booth), but...yeah, I can't think of much more heist-y, caper-y fun times.
It was written by M. Scott Veach, who also wrote "The Top Hat Job." Huh, I think I liked that one, though.

I liked the Hard Day's Night bit.
Alona Tal seems far too young to be kissing Elliot.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I liked it better on second viewing, but yeah, it wasn't one of my favorites. And I wondered about the whole instant-fanbase thing too. Would Kirkwood have just said "Kenneth Crane" sang a cover of his song? He was planning for "Crane" to be dead, anyway, so he couldn't have defended himself.
I would have been happier if "Kenneth Crane" didn't sound so much like "Christian Kane", too.
I enjoyed the episode, it just didn't wow me.
