Leverage & TV Meme Day 5

[switch842]

The opening scene for this ep? HILARIOUS. Parker with those pinatas was pure gold. And I like that we got confirmation that we don't see all the cons and stuff.

That said, I'm sorry, but this week's client was fucking moron. Random guy shows up at your house in the middle of the night, contradicting what your official contact at a government agency told you not long ago and you just GIVE HIM your credit card to pay off the debt? Fucking moron. Sorry, but you deserve what you got. Oh, he threatened to come back with the sheriff? Then you call the cops with him there in the room and see what they and he have to say about that. Or, since you're on a payment plan, you tell him to come back tomorrow after you speak with your contact at the IRS and if what s/he says is true, then you'll pay. And if he doesn't leave right now, you will call the cops and have him arrested for trespassing.

Now moving on... Eliot and Hardison handcuffed together? LOVE IT! The bromance with those two is getting pretty epic. :-)

I don't know... Overall this was just one of the more meh episodes for me. Didn't love it overall, mostly due to the stupidity of the client. And Parker didn't realize her boss would be listening in to her calls? I mean, isn't that one of the first things you learn when you start working for a call center? Oh, and the muscle guys face? It looked like plastic or something. Bothered me a lot. Sorry...

So, yeah. I had a lot of issues with this ep. The only thing that really saved it for me were the Eliot moments. Learning more about his training, his little speech about what a real soldier is vs those militia guys. Good stuff.


Day 01: What show should never have been canceled?
Dark Angel. I know, surprised, right? But really it shouldn't have. It had really started picking up steam and what they could have done with season 3 would have been AMAZING. I think it was maybe a little ahead of its time. It was sort of a new kind of scifi that wasn't really out there yet and I don't think people really knew what to make of it.

Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching: I think I'm going to go with Burn Notice. I don't think a ton of people on my flist watch it. No one else in my family does. Which is odd since my one brother is a HUGE Bruce Campbell fan. It's a great show, really. It's fun, action packed, funny at times. It's a good mix of funny and serious. And now we can say has an Emmy Nominated Supporting Actress in Sharon Gless and Michael's mother! :-D

Day 03 - Your favorite new show (aired this TV season): I'm gonna go with White Collar. I know the cable seasons are a little off from the norm, but it is the only new show I watched. So, yeah. It's funny and clever and action packed. And Peter and Neal are sooooooooo an old married couple. They are way worse than anything Jack & Daniel ever did. LOL :-)

Day 04 - Your favorite show ever: Stargate SG-1. That's all there is to say, really. :-)

Day 05 - A show you hate: I don't think there's a show I really HATE. There are plenty of shows I just don't like/am not fond of (BSG, SGU, most of the shows on the basic networks). But outright HATE? Not so much... Oh, wait! There is! 30 Minute Meals. LOL Though I suppose that's more of an "I hate the host" thing. Rachel Ray is the most annoying person on the face of the planet. yup.

*nods* Me too. I'll have to check in a week or so and see what he says since it seems to take him about that long to get to it (not complaining...he's a busy man).
