the FBI agents that show up at the end of The Bank Job are the same ones doing surveillance in this week's episode.
One of 'em's Rick Overton. I almost didn't recognize him.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Ha! Doing a Leverage rewatch it turns out that the FBI agents that show up at the end of The Bank Job are the same ones doing surveillance in this week's episode.
yeah, I noticed that. I think that it could be a fun recurring thing, with the Leverage team pretending to be various FBI agents.

I know I saw her before, and I think it was on Buffy
I knew she was familiar! I kept thinking, "Julie Bell? No, too young."
The kneejerk "This is ridiculous" reaction from the cops was annoying--but at least the one guy "It's just an alternative lifestyle" was less annoying--but I've seen worse portrayals. And the witch was shown as a positive, if odd, force in the kids' lives.

Compassionately intolerant
That's true. The "it's the only place I feel safe" aspect was positive. But I chafe at the perpetuation of those horrible stereotypes for comic effect.

And that's how we knew that the dad was the killer. I was expecting the wife to take off her scarf to reveal a bruised neck. It just seemed odd to me that she was wearing it.

My retcon is that she didn't really learn how to do this stuff in a Wiccan community - she kind of made it up herself.
I'm no Sherlock Holmes - I did not notice the scarves.

I just watched this week's SVU. They somehow managed to get in just about every stereotype about gifted kids -- pressured by parents, can't fit into the "real" world, overly competitive, antisocial, even one kid with thick glasses and weird vocal patterns -- and then added in some stuff about the dangers of ADD drugs, too.

Always Anti-fascist!
Oh, I saw that one, and felt like "Hey! That's my hey." But then SVU is totally stereotype=a-rific. In addition to David Simon making me That Person who's all "You know, they usually don't find the weapon, right?" and making people shush me, Dick Wolf shows aren't fun like they used to be.
