I don't have any problem with Eliot giving a radio to Molly, it kind of makes sense if she was in danger when out in public. However, it made no sense whatsoever if she was able to listen in as they were breaking in to her father's vault. (Could she hear all that?)
Cable Drama: Still Waiting for the Cable Guy to Show Up with the Thread Name...
To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
He told her to put it in her pocket, not her ear, didn't he?
Yes, she didn't put it in her ear until she got snatched.
Okay, because I was wondering why he'd let her listen in to the con.
Woo, Elliott getting his Bruce Lee on! I love a nice house of mirrors fight.
NICE power shot, Leverage!!!
Indeed.
I don't know why he gave it to her in the first place. A bit clumsy with a plot point, but Eliot has a well defined soft spot for kids, especially kids with parent issues.
When I started watching Breaking Bad several years ago, it was very entertaining in part because it was a totally different world from mine. But now Albuquerque is only a few hundred miles away and I know many people (mostly clients, but a few friends) involved in drug taking and selling.
I don't think I've ever met someone who murdered anyone, but when I see Jesse and his pain and fear of being alone and willingness to throw himself into anything to not think about his life, well, I do care about some people who I think are living like that. It's really hard to watch.
NICE power shot, Leverage!!!
Seriously. Thank you, Frank Oz.
I really liked this episode. But I couldn't figure out Molly and Eliot's codenames were. Perky and Petoskey? What's that from?
(Aha. Checked the comments at KFM, and it was Packy and Botasky from Apocalypse Meow. Don't know why Molly expected Eliot to get her reference, but hey.)
I'm glad I don't pay attention to the Leverage Facebook posts pre-episode:
While the team steals a revolutionary computer chip from a high-tech home, a child goes missing from the carnival.
Way to spoil, guys!
Also, I just noticed that in the credits, Nate has gone from being MASTERMIND to BRAINS.
Also, whoa, this was that girl's first TV gig. She was great.
NICE power shot, Leverage!!!
There may have been some shouting and fist pumping in my living room when that happened.
I saw that someone posted this on KFM:
So, the hall of mirrors fight is Kane's audition reel to be the next Wolverine, huh?
OMG, I can totally see CK with the mutton-chops. And he's already got the canonical shortness going.
