Okay, I think I'm starting to like Leverage. Nate definitely rocks my world.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

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.

I'm assuming Sophie is like that, but it's true that the only time the parts of her personality that I don't like come up is when she's nagging Nate because of their relationship. Or maybe she'd nag any of the team members to fix them. She probably would. But it would probably go better, and it just hasn't come up.

Oh, something RL I remembered because The Stork Job just started: the wound on CK's face at the start of this episode is real--he messed himself up playing football on concrete in cowboy boots. And healed up lightning fast. Paid off with a great one-liner and a hell of a visual.

I think that was my ass. I stuck my phone in my pocket.
