So I have just discovered this show, you might have heard of it? Something to do with criminals, perchance?





Look at this fucking team. Sweet mother of fuck just look at these GQ motherfuckers right here. Goddamn.

Oh show, where have you been all my life? You burst in here with your explosions and witty repartee, with your criminals who enjoy being modern-day robin hoods but more often than not like the payback and money better. You with your characters who liberate Croatia in their free time, stab high society gentlemen with forks and pretend to be royalty for the giant novelty checks. You with your fucked up little family with insane chemistry that has me shipping het, gen, slash, femslash, OTP, OT3 and OT5 every which way and so fast I spin with glee. You with your actually competent, highly skilled, deeply flawed, brilliant, brilliant creations. You with your thieving, heisting, base-jumping ways.

How do I love thee so after four random episodes? Let me not count the ways, for I would surely fail miserably at explaining the utter delight that you are.

So here, have some quotes instead:



Dean Devlin (Executive Producer): I said that the problem is the trend now, the style in television is to be very dark, kind of cold and procedural. While that makes for very compelling television it wasn’t something I was really interested in doing. He said “Well, what kind of show would you want to do?” and I said something more like a throwback to Mission Impossible or The Rockford Files. A mainstream, fun show the whole family can watch that isn’t being dumbed down. He said do you have any ideas? I said I’ve always wanted to do a show about high tech thieves who become modern day Robin Hoods. And he went “Sold!”

Nathan: "We're going to the burn scam."
Hardison: "Going to plan B."
Nathan: "Technically that would be plan G."
Hardison: "How many plans to we have? Is there like a plan M?"
Nathan: "Yeah.. Hardison dies on plan M."
Eliot: "I like plan M."

~

Parker: "My money is not in my account. That makes my cry inside.. in my special angry place."

~

Nate: “Sophie, where are we at?
Sophie: “Huh? I don’t know, Nate. I think you need to ask yourself that question. You called me, remember? And now we’re working together every day. I don’t know what you want. And to ask me that dressed like a Vicar. You’re a very strange man.
Nate: “No, no, no. I meant where are we at with finding the money.”

~

Maid of Honor: “You don’t think it makes me look fat?
Parker: “Oh definitely. I mean, why do you think I’m letting out the waist? To make you look less skinny?

~

Hardison: “I just threw up in my mouth a little. I am a professional criminal, and I find that disturbing.”

~

Nate: “We’re both addicts.”
Sophie: “We’re all addicts. One way or another, we’re all addicted to our past.”

~

Dean Devlin (Executive Producer): I’m so sick of this 1980’s version of the computer geek with the pocket protector and the broken glasses with the band-aid. In our modern day world the computer guy is the coolest guy in the room. That’s where the line comes from in the show, “We run the world.”

~

Hardison: “I had to retask 2 satellites just to get a lousy internet connection. Took more than an hour to torrent the last episode of Doctor Who.”
Parker: “Hey, illegal downloadingis wrong.”

In conclusion, team.






If you are not watching Leverage, start immediately, and if you are, do tell, that we might revel in fannish glee.
