"Don't be silly. Horses are a lot less murderous than I originally thought."

First of all, Leverage fans? WATCH THIS NOW. (No spoilers, many lols.)

Here is a long delayed Leverage squee post! I actually rewatched "The Two Horse Job" a fair while ago, but have only just got round to typing up my notes; as a consequence I can't entirely remember what everything I wrote actually means...

• This one has HORSES in it. This is an IMPORTANT FACT which affects my views on it.


• "So when you said you knew the family, you meant... you knew the family?" Nate cuts to the essentials.


• "Scout's honour!"/"Wrong hand."


• "Don't feel her!" I love this moment so much and I cannot explain why:
  

  



• "I once saw a horse kill a clown." OH PARKER.


• Sophie to Eliot: "Oh, you are rather... hot on this one." ♥


• Oh, I love Hardison getting annoyed at them messing about! And I love how hard he's worked on his presentation. "Something visual for the visual learners, and the auditory learners, and y'all, it's just interruptions..."


• Hee hee, Sophie's accent! (NB on Sophie's accents; I am totally willing to be Watsonian about this and assume that because no-one ever questions them they must be perfect, even when I'm... not sure they are.)


• I love everyone pretending that bringing a new deck into the poker game is a Terrible Faux Pas. I also rather enjoyed the sight of everyone passing the jacks round the table to Nate. TEAM. ♥


• Aw, Eliot thanks Nate so sincerely!


• "You can't even say my name now?"/"No siree!" Aimee's cheerful tone here is brilliant.


• I have written "EVIL Nate!" in my notes here, I assume someone said it about Sterling? (HI STERLING! NICE TO SEE YOU!)


• HEE for punctuating an emotional scene with a ridiculous flashback! Oh show.


• According to my notes I enjoyed Parker's thoughts on horses at this point. Very enlightening. This is why I should type things up straight away.


• Lovely Eliot/Sophie scenelet! *ships them*


• Parker's head turns in this episode are marvellous.


• Yay for Sophie stepping up to support... someone. Eliot? I wrote "Sophie" in my notes, which is clearly wrong. Anyway, yay for that and for her calling Nate on his hypocrisy.


• "You still really don't understand what I do, do you?" Poor Hardison, I don't think that's likely to change.


• Hee, grumpy Parker. "You realise that we can still hear you?" And then her calling for Aimee later - I really like the implication that Aimee has been hanging around with them enough that Parker calls her automatically. (I also love how seriously Aimee takes her.)
  

  



• I love that Hardison just films Eliot riding away because it's easier than explaining.


• "Pony express is never late, boss." ♥_♥


• Foss is so wonderfully odious.


• "I'm glad you found a family."/"Those guys?" MY HEART.


• The coda with Sterling and Nate is really good, because Sterling's not really wrong - "suffering doesn't make you a hero."

That video is amazing!

LOL at the video...

And Parker's horror of the horses - she was so cute!

Sterling is a bit of a bastard. (The actor turned up in something else, American, that I was watching recently, and I found myself automatically disliking his character and couldn't work out why until I remembered he'd played Sterling in Leverage. *facepalm*)

It made me laugh so much! Also, I would absolutely watch "Leverage: The Musical."

Hee! He was Badger in Firefly, was that it? I seem to remember you mentioning that you'd been watching that recently. Mark Sheppard turns up in loads of stuff and he's always fun to watch, though Sterling is definitely in the love-to-hate category!

He is Badger in Firefly - but he was in something else as well that I watched recently - although I'd need to check IMDB to know precisely what, given how many American shows I've been watching lately!
