The show didn't even register with me because I thought it was related to the movie with the same title.
Wait, it's not?
Although that is a football term, I think, and not just associated with the movie. But I thought the same thing.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

I liked N.R. too. Of course, my teeth were a bit clenched based on years of truly appalling representations of therapy in the media. (Sweets, I love you, man)
I enjoyed it and found Mark Blucas attractive in a way I never have. I also like the lead a lot...memfaulting her name...based on her performances in Rescue Me.
I'll watch.

Callie Thorne. I never really thought of her as someone who could carry a project. I guess it would be good to be wrong.

OMG. I'm waiting for Leverage to start, and TNT is showing Return of the King, and the Grey Havens scene is breaking me all over again. Stupid allergies.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The end of LOTR: Return of the King always makes me cry. Haven't I seen it enough times for this reaction to wear off? Answer, obviously: no.
And now, Leverage geekgasm: Timothy Hutton playing Nate Ford dressed as Ellery Queen who was played by Jim Hutton! And Sophie dressed as Irene Adler! ADORE

Right! Too bad they couldn't work in a Nero Wolfe (or, you know, Archie) reference.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't understand why Eliot or anyone would have seriously considered the idea that Nate had killed that guy. Was I missing some sort of subtext?

I didn't understand that reaction, either, P-C. Nate's the Good Guy, the Honorable Man! Nate doesn't want the bad guys dead, he wants them punished and suffering and, oh yeah, maybe having a chance at redemption and that. Besides, even if he did mean to kill someone, he wouldn't do it on an island with no way off. Even drunk, he's smarter than that.
Although I was yelling at him for wandering over to look at the guy who just got tossed over the balcony, as if no one else was there.

Especially when it was determined that the neck was broken before the fall. That's an Elliot move, not a Nate one. Still, there was much fun to be had in the episode.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I don't know why that was not a consideration when they were trying to figure out who killed him. If you take into consideration that the killer had to be someone who knew how and had the strength to snap his neck, that narrows the list considerably.
And why did the detective allow the body to be removed? He knew that the guy was dead and he had a scapegoat, why wouldn't he insist on exposing the murder (unless he was worried that Nate had seen him, but they didn't throw that bit of exposition in there)
