#leverage redemption season 2

Thinking a lot about Paul hearing the trigger being pulled and his first instinct is to grab Eliot.

Arthur Wilde: "I can just picture Eliot right now, thinking of all the ways he can quietly take me out"

This scene shouldn't have hit me the way it did, but the whole season Eliot has been extremely protective of Sophie, and this one just came for my heart. The look on his face, his voice, how he just states the sentence matter of factly, and Sophie's hands on his chest to calm him down, her nod of acknolegment. UGH. I love everything about this. (Also Christian Kane is absolutely gorgeous here. seriously)

The fact that Parker uses Eliot as a step to get onto a desk when she could very easily jump or flip or something onto the desk on her own…it’s so very them.

Also not long after he got hit in the back with a big ol’ plank of wood. But that’s just a Tuesday for Eliot 🤷

One Dress a Day Challenge

Anything Goes December

Leverage: Redemption ("The Big Rig Job," s2 e7) / Beth Riesgraf as Parker

Parker has always been super into Christmas. In this episode, not only does she dress up in a nutcracker soldier outfit, but she makes special "Christmas tree" hats for the whole gang, decorated with flair that matches their interests (see below). We don't see her wearing her own hat, but she's holding it in the top photo, and it reflects her twin passions for Christmasy stuff and money.

I thought at first that her fur hat was meant to be decorated with that Christmas bauble, but then I noticed in the back view picture that she's actually layered a Christmas headband on top of the hat! That's just extra. But very Parker.

Lawyer stuff for Harry, bling for Sophie, computer and fantasy stuff for Breanna, music and sports stuff for Eliot. Plus the "Eliot signal" image front and center.

Leverage Redemption Log: The Crowning Achievement Job

Alarms still going off, Sophie is slow to leave cause its getting a bit emotional, her and Elliot are split from Parker and Harry by a safetydoor. --- Parker and Harry are going to gain access to the security room, Breanna tries to get the code from Curator Dunbar, (which not only lets them free Sophie and Elliot, but also get access to camerafootage of Arthur being a Crim)

Elliot suspected that Arthur was going to try something (because he knows Billy hates Sophie?) Breanna is proud of herself for the simple pickpocket. Harry is in the vents and almost manages not to have a panic attack.

Harry is unconcious in the vents and for some reason the FBI is in London now (not only do they not have juristiction, even if you were to somehow get them involved they wouldnt be able to teleport across the ocean) --- Arthur is playing the "reformed crook" Sophie is doing arts and crafts with Elliots wallet (his words not mine), Breanna pretends at being Harry, actual Harry is back in the vents.

We're out and clear but Sophie wants to stay (the crown is still in the museum after all) Im siding with Elliot and Harry here TBH.

--- Oh she called her mom. (Thats notable because Sophie refered to her as a "stepchild" at least once) Breanna loses valuable time pretending to be Elliot, but gets to keep the car in place.

She's not looking to take down Ramsey, she's looking to talk to (and possibly take down) her Sophie (i thought that was blatantly obvious, but apparently thats supposed to be a twist) The one benefit of having every agency on the planet in one place is things get so muddled you can claim to be from 5 agencies at once and nobody's knows whats even going on.

Oh the cops in the Hanover wing are drinking tea, guess its time for that good old biochemistry again. Team is arrested to give Arthur overconfidance issues. Commercial break --- Right so he never needed to worry bout those pressure sensors cause they're beneath the little black-cover thingy.

Oh its the other teams... thats cool. Sterling is section chief now (remember, last we saw him he was only head of a taskforce or department), and he's covering for Sophie in his own ways.

Hardison makes an end-of-season cameo (turns out his spacebuddies forgot to make a second rocket for the return trip. Time to heist NASA)

Leverage redemption really said we’re gonna make you feel things tonight

Eliot "Everything I do is a sport" Spencer

[kajaono]

I love Eliot focused episodes so much. Kane is always the hitter but he is so good when he is allowed to open up and show Eliot’s emotional side

[stillaslavetothisdream]

Every single episode of Leverage Redemption season 2 has been amazing.

The latest one has been truly a stroke of genius. Especially considering on paper it should have been boring.

But Instead we got:

Someone FINALLY recognizing a Doctor Who reference? Brilliant.

Sexy Elliot in a ponytail tackling down thugs in complete silence, to allow Jenna to get to the office? Amazing

Parker roofing the sexual abuser? Lovely. I was not expecting anything less from our best girl.

Elliot purposely smashing said sexual predator against a very sturdy wooden door? Magnificent.

Breanna in a suit, red lipstick, incredible hairdo, singing like a Nightingale on a stage? We want a full album and tour right now.

Harry Wilson - love of my life - playing a Belgian Prince in Lumberjack disguise with a fake-ass beard, a cane and a plaid vest over a T-shirt? Show stopping spectacular.

Sophie being Mama Bear and deciding the crew had to be Guardian Angels to baby Leverage recruits? YES QUEEN WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

I can't deal with how good this show is.

[thefirsthogokage]

Well, a realization just hit me. Don't know if this is true of not, I don't remember the timing.

Eliot said he didn't hit cops in the OG show. Well now that makes sense. His dad is Black. What do Black parents teach their kids when it comes to dealing with the cops? Part of The Talk. Just do as they say, not that that always work.

He would have at least heard that talk with other foster kids, or teammates, if not given it himself.

And why would he stick to that? Because his dad was upset with him and he was still trying to be a Good Boy in one way.

[leverage-ot3]

So you think they will actually confirm Eliot as bi?! 😳

I’d sell my soul for it, but I’m not sure they’re actually going to confirm it

the walk in the woods job sure came close, but in the end it was still subtext for the most part

-

I've been toying with sketches/attempts to sketch this scene since I saw the ep, and now because today is a >_< day gave up working from home to actually try a proper art. I'm adding Swamp Monster suit to my list of things I don't know if I ever want to draw again...

-

You know a hug is intense when you have to brace yourself on a tree for it.

Leverage Redemption log: The Belly of the Beast Job

So i didnt feel like doing the usual "stop and go" watching format i usually do. I just felt like turning on the show and watching it. I'll admit that for a second i legitimately thought i was watching the wrong show

Lovely episode, sort of a combination of Harry's Debut episode ("amateur tries crime and auditions for Leverage by accident") and the Futures Job ("Team is forced to run con by proxy"). I really like how they get to joke about some of the series conventions (every alias is a reference? Oopsie this girl watches Dr. Who.) Everyone running around in the background doing their usual stuff. Breanna has a musical number.

Parker as a Lockpicking Lawyer type "overly special-interest youtuber" makes sense on a level that is hilarious. Like this is definitly what would've become of her in an alternate timeline where her original dad was slightly less deserving of a gasleak explosion. Not much to say, If this reboot ever has a big "last dam job" type plot i look forward to seeing Jenna and Keith have an episode with Hurley and the Sleep-inducing accountant.
