I agree. The history is important. I haven't watched in a while, but can't wait to dive into the new so I didn't re-watch.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
What is the Look of the Early '00s?
I don't know if I can describe it but it was instantly recognizable. Muted lighting/color palette. Men's hair was in a weird transitional phase. There's a focus on cutting edge technology in the exposition scenes that just screams "WE HAVE NO IDEA THE FIRST IPHONE WILL BE RELEASED NEXT WEEK." And the makeup of the team - exactly one Weird Girl, one Sexy Girl, one Black Guy - is either cringeingly or charmingly retro, depending on the scene.

Happy birthday, hippocampus!
Sorry about the mice, msbelle.
One of my coworkers was a bit of a grump. Turns out it was because she constantly felt poorly due to celiac (which took an unreasonable amount of time to diagnose). And we’re a super-bake-y department. Well, gluten free flour makes great shortbread. So when we were in the office, I made a fair bit of it, and the coworker is pretty smiley these days. Probably not just due to the shortbread, but I like to think it doesn’t hurt.

That’s so interesting, Jess! I haven’t gone back and watched Leverage since it was on and wouldn’t have guessed that there was A Look. That’s barely the past, much less retro!

2008-12, though, according to IMDB
Which is well into that puzzling time that I have no idea, subjectively, how long ago it was. Just happened, right, a couple of years ago maybe?

I don't think I watched it often when it was live, as is my usual pattern. It was more recently that I watched them.
My most awesome niece came over and cleaned my living room, so I have 3-1/2 rooms done now. Kitchen, living room, bathroom, and at least my bed in the bedroom. It makes it much less overwhelming.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday hippocampus!
The new Leverage is on the list of things to watch when I have time.(I never seem to have time for more than keeping up with the various CW superhero shows.) At least I have Amazon Prime, so I don't have to subscribe to a new thing.

Happy hippocampus day!
My day has been a cycle of read some Bleak House, watch a little Leverage, leave the cone of fan pushed air to see if that is a viable option, come back to the fan with some alacrity, a little more Bleak House, etc. Tomorrow is supposed to be a little cooler, I had *better* get up around dawn and get some stuff done
