The Two Live Crew Job

[switch842]

First off, allow me to be shallow for two seconds, but I must say, How fucking HOT was Eliot in this episode? I mean, DAMN! First off, that hat in the funeral? Awesome. And then the scene after with the shirt undone a bit, untucked and all that? Puddle.of.goo. And then the fight at the end in the wife-beater all wet and stuff? asdjkfhs;odikgh

That said, this really might be my favorite episode so far. I loved seeing a competing crew and how they kept just getting the edge on our gang. And Wil Wheaton was awesome as Chaos. I see what John Rogers was saying about the Hardison/Chaos tension. ;-) LOL

The funeral was interesting. I really think they were all saying what they would have if it had been real. Well, maybe except for Parker. :-) And that moment with Hardison and Sophie in the van was very sweet.

I was glad to see the team got it right in the end. And framing Chaos was pretty cool. Showing Stark that it's OK to be the good guy was an interesting twist. Though, I don't think he'll take to it quite as well. :-)

Nate and Sophie at the cemetery? I got a little teary, I will say. I wonder if we'll ever find out Sophie's real name. Speaking of, um, glitch much with the tombstone? Or was that a second grave? Ooops....

ETA: And the first "fight" between Eliot and the chick was pretty awesome. All mental like that. LOL

I noticed the tombstone too. But apparently, according to mentions on Twitter, the name change was intentional. Sophie had it changed herself because she said she wanted Sophie buried. But I think some kind of mention would have been best. Maybe Nate does a subtle double-take and Sophie acknowledges that she did it. Something.

Parker continues to be insane. "It's like you're haunting us." She couldn't really grasp that Sophie wasn't really dead? Her assessment of the counterpart thief being mentally unstable just went over her head, too. But their interactions were absolutely fun. I wouldn't mind seeing them come back some time.

Geek Showdown! For. The. Win. Kobayashi Maru had me in stitches. I had to pause the show for a minute. And then rewind. "And, oh look! I also have LASERS!" It's too bad Chaos was framed in the end. But perhaps he can fix something to come back. Would love to see him causing trouble again.

I just saw the Twitter mentions. A little nod would have been nice, as you said.

The Parker/Apollo stuff was pretty fun. And I like that it was the real Apollo guy they use for their consultant. Nice showdown between the master and the student with that one.

I laughed so hard at the Kobayashi Maru nod! And that Parker was the one that got it! LOL Think she's seen the New Trek? ;-)

Also, see ETA. :-)

Oh, yes. The mental fight was awesome. It was an excellent way of showing how Eliot calculates everything even in a split second, not to mention that there was indeed someone else just like him, at least in that regard.

It really goes to show that these fights are really just big chess matches. Calculating what moves your opponent will take, thinking 6 moves ahead. All that. It's good stuff.
