Eliot seems to be really making an effort towards healing this season. Obviously he's been working hard for years and years now, but he's been working hard towards redemption. Now he's working on actually healing. He's acknowledging his pain and actually letting it show (I had to give myself a hug when he actually gave Hardison a genuine answer when he was asked if he was ok or not. And he said he didn't know and looked like he would have accepted a hug from Alec or Parker right then).

Leverage: Redemption Ep 1 aka The Too Many Emotions Job

I knew. I knew it was gonna hit me. But I didn’t expect how soon or how much. Like an old sweater, like coming home, episode 1 was pretty much everything I hoped for.

Contextless running commentary of the episode, as usual for these semi-liveblog posts that no one else really cares for but me, under the cut. Although really it’s mostly a lot of me yelling “MY HEART!” 

Oh shit, did they fucking kill Nate?!

Crying Sophie hurt my heart...

This check-ins by the labels he gave them is really sweet though. My heart

One year gone because that's when they found out Tim Hutton was The Worst and they needed to write him out? I like.

I love that for Eliot. And for Hardison. MY HEART. They're doing so much good 😭💖

That Eliot also said the whole thing: "Age of the Geek, Baby"

That that's Parker's (all of their) idea of cheering her up is...perfect.

Just like riding a bike Sophie, you've got this.

I love that they're simultaneously mocking him and adopting him. Kidnapping?

Ooh dramatic cuts for flashbacks/time jumps. I kind of miss the typewriter clicking though.

Boo Harry. "I'm not on anybody's side. I'm a lawyer." I don't like that quote. But also, seeing you work it fits. We can fix you though.

I love Sophie's Distinguished Widow™ look. She’s been wearing it the whole episode but it’s really hitting me now.

Of course Nate was still on Vista. Because he was a crotchety old man.

Aw poor puppy doesn't get it. He will though.

Hovering Mom!Sophie, my heart.

A whole month, we're so proud! That’s a marked improvement over even No Stabbing Wednesdays.

My babies! All grown up but still the same.

God Harry don't you know anything?!

"What an unsettling metaphor." Yeah they're good at that. And can clear a room faster than ever.

Seriously all this Eliot/Hardison time has me LIVING

This isn't part of her act, is it?

I love that Eliot is so quick to try to go to her side.

He's really so overconfident. That sell was almost a giveaway

Harry. Best not to ask any questions. Ever.

Eliot and Sophie and trying to talk about Nate. Its making me emotional.

Damn. I called it YEARS ago. I literally wrote this fic. Fuck me. (Note to self: time for a reblog)

"At least he burned." Feels double-edged.

No Parker, not weird at all. Cus giiiirl me too. 👀

A mobile HQ 😍

Hello? Who are you? Our new antagonist to replace Sterling?

This is a mean audition. Shouldn’t an audition be something they have a chance at? 

But his breakdown of it. 👀😍 and his little bow of respect and actually giving a chance to show what they can do/offering feedback

Aw, poor Harry. :( I genuinely feel for him now. And respect a turn like that.

Damn that's one way to do it. Okaaaay, Burn a Rembrandt. Except he'll get the insurance money and come out on top.

If his insurance company is IYS...

Print a fake 4 hours. Was there ever really the stolen one or was this the plan all along? It's what Nate would do

Oh it was Harry's idea. Nice! He picked up quick.

And then Sophie improved upon it.

Parker is SO CUUUTE!! 💖

🤣 what a moron

Of course you have to gloat, Harry. It's part of making sure he knows he's finished

Hardison laying it out plain. In a beautiful speech. Of course Eliot does. He's...so...my poor broken (though not so much as he used to be) cowboy.

Also, not the first time he's referenced Jewish faith or "jokingly" called himself Jewish. And it makes sense for his character. So I'll be clinging to Jewish Hardison and taking it to my grave thanks

His father's son 😭😭😭😭😭 we have canon acknowledgement that they're Mom and Dad.

Look, I have many feelings about L:R that I will keysmash into an essay later. I probably won't be tagging spoilers now?

Just caught up on last week's episode and holy shit the last 5 minutes put me in tears T_T

[lets-go-steal-a-found-family]

Ok ok I somehow completely forgot that the first episodes of the new Redemption season dropped this weekend. Too busy caught up in work and politics and watching Moon Knight and the utter downfall of Twitter I guess....

Anyway. I'll be starting the new eps today! And sharing my thoughts here so please blacklist any of the following if you don't want to see those (or any L:R) posts.

"Just the way he said that, I don't know how its sexual. But it sounds sexual. 'Securing the exits.' He's been securing your exits."

🤣 I love her so much. I mean I definitely thought it was said in an "I love to watch that man work" way, which same Hardison, same. But she went Full Innuendo.

[lets-go-steal-a-found-family]

I was trying really hard to not watch all of the new eps in one go but...I just finished the ep 3 of this new batch and my heart is so full rn. It's hard to resist watching another after that one.

[magic-multicolored-miracle]

By the way, I don’t know if I mentioned, but as you’ve probably guessed I am watching Leverage: Redemption this weekend. By myself because my roommate abandoned me. Which means all the comments and reactions she’d normally get, you will instead.

I’ll be tagging it all with “Shye watches Leverage: Redemption” “Leverage: Redemption spoilers” and “L:R Spoilers” so if you want to avoid that, block my tags. 

And as per my old blogging habits, posts specific of the OT3 will be tagged with “precious angry angel thief babies”

I’ll also try to put anything that’s mine under a cut, but if I reblog stuff that’s on the OP.
