Christan Kane showing up to literally any show he regularly appears on: so what's my character

Producer: poor kid from the Midwest (specifically Oklahoma) who was so talented in some very specific field that you worked your way out but always remember your roots.

Christian Kane: sure, but do I get to sing and play guitar?

as an ace who's watched all 5 seasons of the competency porn show, the only moment that felt like porn to me was the time parker fondled a safe while seductively explaining its history and how easy it is to break into. not for a grift or anything, she was alone (with the safe), she just liked it. they shot parker putting her hands all over it the same way you'd expect a camera crew to film someone's dress being unzipped

Parker Leverage has never done a single thing wrong in her whole life

[what---i-dated-a]

Parker: You know what the number one thing people ask me is-

Eliot: “Are you allowed to be here”?

Hardison: “How did you get in”?

Can confirm

Now we need a poll for what the second funniest camp to send Parker to would be, horse camp being the first probably

I think my one real complaint about Leverage is, when they go to do the ‘Parker changes her clothes in front of someone’ bit, Beth Riesgraf is clearly wearing a bra in the scene, up until they cut away for a second, and when they cut back she’s suddenly bra-less just in time to take her top off.

I mean I meant the first one but the second raises more questions as well as not answering the initial question AT ALL and is therefore funnier

I’m curious and wondering about fandom overlap, so have another poll

something that always gets me when I rewatch Leverage is the poor flight attendant in the Mile High Job

she's just having a normal day when the crew needs to get Parker onto a flight as a flight attendant so Hardison calls this poor woman up to tell her that the cat is at the local shelter and she needs to come get it immediately if she knows what he's saying, and of course she freaks out

can you imagine her showing up at the shelter and her cat's not there, nobody knows what she's talking about, she tries to call the number back but of course it won't work. she must have been panicked all to shit, thinking it must have been a different shelter and she won't get there in time, or that it was this shelter and they just don't want to tell her the truth

finally it occurs to her to go home and check on her cat, who of course is fine, and she must end the day thinking someone played a particularly cruel prank on her

then she sees on the news that the flight she would have been on nearly crashed and had to make an emergency landing on the highway, and the sheer wtfery of that

I bet she thinks about that every night of her goddamned life.

now, ladies and gentlemen of the jury… i may not be a “big city” lawyer. indeed, indeed, and i do declare… i may in fact be, ah, temporarily free—on probation—from my imprisonment in the wretched crystal. but do not let these simple facts, these minutiae, distract you from 1,000 gigavolts lightning strike upon the courtroom

uh, ahem. i said 1,000 gigavolts lightning strike upon the courtroom. *wiping my forehead with a handkerchief* it appears my powers aren’t working your honor

actually i need to borrow this gif because holy shit this is EPISODE THREE and Nate can just DO that. Can just. Grab Eliot Spencer while he’s holding a knife.

They don't talk about it.

But there's no way Nate should know those things. No way the client could have told him, no way he could've figured it out on his own. Not when these things were nothing more than fleeting thoughts from the mark. But Sophie notices him quietly go for the scotch behind the counter and rub at his head in pain with extra vehemence some days despite the latest con having no personal connection to him.

They don't talk about it.

But someone should've recognized Sophie on that con. There's no way she could have that many characters per con. No way none of those diplomats didn't recognize her from any of her previous cons. Not when she didn't change any more than her clothes and accent. But Nate notices her features seem to flicker at the peace and safety of home when she thinks he isn't watching.

They don't talk about it.

But no one could've survived that. And certainly not looking the way he does. There's no way he didn't come out of that fight broken and bloodied to all hell. Not when instead he walks out with a purposeful stride and only a clenched jaw, rolling his shoulders. But when he's cooking and accidentally burns himself, Parker notices the unmarked skin left behind.

They don't talk about it.

But not all vents are human sized. They all saw the size of the vent cover as she exists with a grin. There's no way she could've fit in there. Not when the human body can't bend that way, a way that even the greatest contortionist can't bend. But some days Hardison notices as she seems to stretch and bend before his eyes when she's feeling relaxed and safe enough.

They don't talk about it.

But that's not how computers work. There's no way Hardison could access that kind of thing. Not when he describes how he did it like that. Not when he does it so quickly like that. Not when he says he's taken berries and the next thing they know he's recreated a colonial era journal to perfection. But Eliot swore he shoved a glass of water at him, not more goddamn orange soda.

They don't talk about it, the thing lingering over their heads as they conduct each con, the unacknowledged thing between the five of them that's a little deeper than just a desire to take down the rich and powerful.

They aren't perfect, they all know that- sometimes they're too good with their covers, sometimes they have to shift gears as the con unfolds before them, but somehow things always seem to work out.

But no one asks about it, so-

They don't talk about it.

“First season of LEVERAGE - so he's 21 years old - he shows me his watch designs. I'm expecting, y' know, celebrity strap branding or faces. No, it's engineering schematics of GEARS and shit. Pages of them. Even then, there were none so cool.” - John Rogers

“We also unfortunately – we couldn’t do the flashback we wanted to do there which was Eliot going – when he goes ‘what, you have to fight an alien?’ We wanted to do the flashback of Eliot just like, covered in green goo with like, a Ka-Bar, just kinda panting. Just covered in green goo and just like a tail whipping around just as he kind of finishes the job. And we were just like ‘nah, we can’t. We can’t.’” - John Rogers, The First Contact Job DVD Commentary

I imagine there was a shopkeeper somewhere in Boston who sold nothing but atrocious hats and would rub his hands together greedily every time Nate Ford stepped through the front doors
