I don't really think so. LJ gets my fangirl stuff and I really don't know what I'm doing on LinkedIn and stuff, because I can't imagine any situation where anyone says "Get her! The brain-damaged novelist wannabe with the Olbermann fixation!" Yeah, right. Except I felt complimented that Victor asked.

Oh, well, one last big splurge before next week's appointment!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Disturbing headline o' the day:
Tesler said when he joined the narcotics unit, he was told to “sit, watch and learn” from superiors who cut corners to meet performance quotas for arrests and warrants. “I was a new part and plugged into a broken system,” Tesler said.
Tesler said when he saw Smith about to plant baggies of marijuana inside Johnston’s home to make it look like a drug house, he shook his head in disapproval. Tesler said he falsified the police report and later lied about the raid because Smith told him to follow the cover-up script. Tesler said he wasn’t about to “rat” on a senior officer.

Okay, I think I'm starting to like Leverage. Nate definitely rocks my world.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Nate's actually the least favorite of the characters for me, even though I do think he's very interesting. Something about the father figure who kind of wants to drink himself to death even as he helps people just grates.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think that's kinda spoilery, Perkins, because it states or implies that it persists through the season. I think. Fine line.
Sophie's my least favourite. She's a nag who lacks self-awareness, when she's not being cool. Hardison, Parker, and Eliot don't stop being cool.

You're right ita, and I edited it.
Sorry about that.

Sophie's my least favourite. She's
How much of that is because of the Nate/Sophie relationship? Because's that's always seemed to me the weakest part of the set-up, so I wonder if forcing it has negative effects on their characters more generally.

Hmmm. I see what you're saying about Nate, but those are the characters I like. It's one of the reasons I like Mad Men. Everyone is so thoroughly broken. And I agree about Sophie.

I think it's mostly that I feel like I've seen Nate before, and Sophie, but I haven't really seen the others, or at least not as often.
