I don't think Hardison is fucked up at all. Wacky and nerdy, but not fucked up. Eliot has some anger issues.
Of course, that's true. I don't think Hardison is fucked-up at all. (Though given his tendency to choose crime and irresistible attraction to attractive criminals, Sterling might disagree! Hell, Nate might disagree.) But while Eliot has anger issues, he's managing them, which in my book means, "not fucked-up". Fucked-up would be not managing them and letting them fuck up his life, which likely is what happened to him to set him on this particular path. But yeah, still more fucked-up than Hardison.

I've just been catching up on JR's blog, and this made me laugh and laugh (addressing Elliot's relative togetherness compared to some of the team):
But I have no problem with a character who's got it pretty together compared to the others. I'm not Whedon, for chrissake.
Frank, I'm now wondering what it says about me (us) that I love Whedon characters so.
It's not like John's not writing Nate as a bastard. He's hardly sunshine, unicorns, and puppies.
Also, he's a Whedon fan.
I noticed last night's White Collar had an insurance company called
Sterling
Bosch. I couldn't help but wonder if that was a Leverage ref.

Oh, I figured as much. That's part of why I laughed.

I was thinking the same thing. It amuses me, intentional reference or not.
Nate is totally sunshine, unicorns, and puppies! Sunshine burns. Puppies bite. Unicorns have pointy horns. Like Nate, they're adorable but you don't want to fuck with them.
How is Nate even remotely adorable?
How is Nate even remotely adorable?
...because he looks so much like Tim Hutton?
For values of "adorable" that don't include "cute"?
I don't know. Maybe I'm just screwed-up enough that these guys seem normal to me!
