The Experimental Job

[switch842]

Oh, Leverage. How I've missed your wonderfully wacky ways.

Lots (sort of) of interesting backstory on Eliot in this episode. A few more hints at his military background. Loved the little moment between him and Sophie as he drank his hangover cure.

Some cute Hardison and Parker moments. I'm still a little confused as to where they are, canonically. Are they actually in a relationship? Or has Parker just admitted that she wouldn't mind being in one? I'm so lost on them.... Maybe I'll go ask John....

Not much Nate in this episode, really. Which I was okay with, actually. I know his arc is that he's becoming an asshole, but I still don't like it. I'm interested to see how/if they redeem him at the end of the season or not.

I wasn't really thrilled with the Hardison/Parker stuff because not only does it confuse me canonically (I mean you're right- if they *are* in a relationship can they make that clear please?) but for some reason it...bugs me. I can't put a finger on it but it isn't an OTP for me (but I don't have a problem with those who do ship it because (and this isn't yelling at you) WE ALL LIKE THE SAME SHOW!)

Did you see that the building housing the Psychology department was called Eliot Hall? That amused me.

I think Hardison & Parker are cute together, but that's about it for me. I'd just really like clarification as to what they are to each other at this point cos I DON'T KNOW! LOL

I did not! Apparently there were a lot of little things I missed according to Twitter. Darn, I guess I'll have to watch it again. :-P

Yes! Exactly. We *need* to know.

I did leave a question for John on his blog. If I get an answer I shall let you know! :-)

The ambiguity of Hardison and Parker's relationship is starting to wear on me, too.

Loooooooooooooooooooooove the Eliot stuff. *shivers* THE HANGOVER CURE SCENE. I AM WEARING MY TINHAT. Urgh, idc that canonically Sophie is boning it with Nate. I'M SHIPPING ELIOT/SOPHIE ALL THE WAY.

Considering what John Rogers has said about Nate, and how he feels about the character, I don't think Nate will ever be redeemed.

Girl, you know whenever Sophie is fed up with Nate and just needs a good ol' tumble in the sheets she totally calls on Eliot. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

My mind is suddenly going somewhere really extreme with Nate and I'm not wondering if they might not kill him in the series finale or something. Cos he's just going down so deep I don't see how he can ever get out.

;lafjdklajfklajflkaj;fao;wejrlaj;flalf;f THAT'S MY CANON TOO

The show is pretty shy in going too srs bizness, so idk about them doing something like that, though that's the kind of stuff that could be awesome in fic. Nate totally fits the quote: "It's time to prove to your friends that you're worth a damn. Sometimes that means dying. Sometimes that means killing a whole lotta people."

I mean, yeah, I doubt the show would actually go there, but something EXTREME has to happen and I'm just getting worried about what that might be....
