October: Black Redux

Leverage (s1e12, "The First David Job") / Gina Bellman as Sophie Devereaux as Portia del Duccio

I think this is one of Sophie's best looks in the whole series. She's posing as an Italian museum curator at a fancy party for patrons of the arts. The off-the-shoulder gown is sleek and sophisticated, with a hidden fullness to the skirt that helps it "tulip" out when she walks. The froufrou on the shoulder gives it just a touch of quirkiness without losing the high-fashion aura, and also mirrors the loose side-twist of her hair. For accessories, she has a multi-strand gold bracelet and a colorful clutch purse. Magnifico!

Look at two married people having a wee disagreement

(Just missing their third part of the throuple.)

leverage rewatch (37/?)

[aardvaark]

i love that leverage sets up nate "marriage is a contract" ford x sophie "all relationships are about manipulation" devereaux as its main love story. (and that it turns out to be an excellent love story).

[transsophiedevereaux]

been rewatching s1 of leverage and it really hammers home how down bad hardison has been from the start. and it's not even the stupid flirting and telling parker she looks good in the bridesmaid dress.

when the team first gets together they don't really get parker. eliot calls her crazy about twice per episode, sophie clearly feels bad for her, and nate barely cares for anyone at this point. hardison, by contrast, always engages with her, answers her questions, listens to her concerns about the orphanages in the stork job, explains to her that they're a little more than a team, cheekily adresses her, while in character for the juror #6 job, just to make her smile. yes we all remember how parker stabbed the guy from the stork job with a fork, but also remember that, just moments before, while talking stone-faced to this guy she clearly loathes hardison managed to make her laugh with only a stupid vampire joke mocking the mark's accent. she thinks he's funny! they're in love your honour!!

I CANT GET A SCREENSHOT RN but you know that part in the Nigerian Job where they're all running out of the warehouse and parker points out where the exit is and nate stays behind to keep the door opening and eliot helps hardison up when he slips and hardison makes sure there was no chance of anyone knowing they were there and in that moment even though they're all still enemies (pr at the very least they're not friends) and they're angry at each other they work together seamlessly without even speaking?

Yeah I'm thinking about that scene a lot.

"Oh I didn't kill you. God killed you. I just- made sure it took" <- most badass nate line in the whole show

[leverage-ot3]

you ever think about how harry was legitimately kidnapped by a strange group of thieves and then he just... stayed??? he was kidnapped by CRIMINALS and just sat there and decided, I think I find crime fun and I want a found family and just DECIDED TO ROLL WITH IT AND STAYED WITH THEM??? A GROUP OF STRANGERS THAT ROUTINELY BREAK THE LAW FOR FUN???

[gammija]

the target here is most likely Klaus, imo. Klaus is a name Gwen is familiar with, so it's one she could reasonably 'work out', and we already know Lena (or whatever she's working for) wanted him dead in the first place

[theinfinitedivides]

can't believe i'm saying this but i may have just tracked down the possible location of the Eliot flashback in The Miracle Job by the split second frame of the f*cking currency on the table. what can i say it's a very distinctive banknote

June: Weddings

Leverage (s1e7, "The Wedding Job") / Beth Riesgraf as Parker, plus Lindsay Halladay as Maid of Honor

I really have to hand it to the Leverage costume team--they are positive geniuses at coming up with a truly terrible costume when the situation calls for it (here's another fine example of their work). This bridesmaid dress would be bad enough if it had just been overly ruched, shiny, and pink--but whoever decided to sprinkle it with blue roses deserves an Emmy. And just when you think it can't get worse, there are the gloves! Which appear to have some sort of frilly garter holding them on, because you can see in one picture that Parker is starting to pull the glove off, but there's still a band further up her forearm. Add blue open-toed shoes and a silly little tiara for the crowning (pun intended) touch.

The dress zips up the back and then a panel snaps over the fastening to hide it. I've included a shot of the back fastening for reference.

Also, for comparison and to prove that the dress really looks good on no one, here it is on Lindsay Halliday as the Maid of Honor from the same episode:

[divinekangaroo]

Random thought that S1 could have instead had more consistent hinting/detail to it that Tommy *suspected* Grace in some way, and therefore his seduction of her wasn't entirely just the hearteyes it tried to be sold as, but rather attempting to sway her to his side. Because, given every other series has Tommy using his body/self/sex as a way to leverage influence he wouldn't otherwise have, it'd be consistent to have seen a hint of that with Grace.

And then to *still* have their revelation moment after the Garrison killings, because then how much more meaningful if he throws away his suspicions in favour of finding someone he feels sees him and gets him.

That was so 💞💖💓❤️

going to be real this trope has moved me exactly once. it's just...kind of juvenile and goofy idk. I went into the tags and it's all 'young royals' and 'ofmd' and 'tma' and 'kingdom hearts' and various indecipherable acronyms. wait. tracy chapman fast car?
