Right? So funny. I wanted to gleeble about it but I couldn't figure out how to make enough sense that it would be clear what I was talking about. Dear lord.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

I know I'm late to the party, but I just got a total Professor X/Magneto vibe when Rosen was looking at the pictures of Stanford Parrish.

Seems to me that Rosen still has conceded a heck of a lot of control. Yeah he gets operational control (if he is not overridden by men with guns) but they still choose his missions. Not that they were not still holding the leverage of putting him back in his cell and drugging him again.
X/Magneto vibe
I missed that. [Edit] I mean I saw the pictures, but did not get that vibe at all but you could be right.

... Or Mozzie can just turn up drinking Neal's wine with some Mongols. That works.

I laughed *so* hard at the El-eee-ot line in the preview for next week's Leverage that I had to ask John if they've been sitting on that, or it was a surprise.
I've been getting my Leverage eps off Amazon, so I don't see the previously- what was the line/word? (I have indeed seen the episode in question. Hello random Russian dude and a... turtle.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The word was "El-eee-ot" said ET-style.

So I finally started watching the Leverage premiere, and at 20 minutes in, I have 2 comments.
1. That's the Bridgeport Brewery! They make their pizza crusts with beer yeast! I've been there! OMG they put the Leverage Inc. offices behind the Bridgeport! Hah!
2. Nate, the NHPA does not say anything about non-Americans being forbidden from purchasing historic artifacts! WTF. Figures the show would cite one of the laws I know a great deal about, and still get it wrong! (Although it was a kick to see him say the whole thing "National Historic Preservation Act of 1966"...)
Okay, and I also love the way Eliot's completely spun up about the restaurant business.

That only came up as part of Nate's tale to the mark, though, as I remember it. Not a context in which he needs to be accurate, exactly.

You are of course correct.

I was more concerned about a certain very entertaining lawyer-centric show in which bitcoin was portrayed as illegal. It is possible that if treasury cared they could make a case (though more likely as a security than as a currency) but the U.S. Treasury, quite sensibly, has other priorities than fringe alternative currencies in limited circulation. Same reason they don't go after labor banks. IANAL, so I don't know whether or not they have a basis to go after them if they want to. But I'm pretty sure that they simply are not that interested.
