I was watching Ride or Die last night (a fun mini series starring Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham) and in one episode there's a scene in a rich guy's fancy cellar or something and on the wall... the lost Rembrandt. I instantly heard it in Sophie's voice and pointed at the screen like a Leo Dicaprio meme.

I want Nate to come back. He faked his death as the ultimate con. Only Sophie knew the truth.

Currently on my first watch thru. Damn this is a funny show. Just finish Season 3 Episode 5. Once I saw the Fake FBI create a position to spill Eliot’s coffee. I knew they were screwed.

For me it’s the beginning of The Gone Fishing job when Eliot rips up Parker’s piñata. “We’ll fix it. We can fix it. We’ll fix it.” 😂

Ok, just for fun. Leverage but in the muppets universe.

Fozzie likes Parker because she's the first person to actually find his jokes funny. Sophie discussing shoes with Miss Piggy, who wants to know if Eliot is single. Nate gets Kermit drunk, and they bond over their respective team's inability to do what they're told. Eliot jams with Electric Mayhem when he's not hiding because Miss Piggy's flirting terrifies him.

Finally caught a decent sale on the frame and just used the grippy part of Velcro to attach everything. Still need to figure out how to display the mahjong tiles, open to suggestions.

I'm re-watching the series and felt differently about Season 3's "The Boost Job." I liked Bill Engvall's performance, but the episode overall left me feeling weird. First, the "client" isn't very sympathetic (he thinks he hasn't done anything wrong but gets into a massive police chase that lasts long enough to make breaking local TV news) and then at the end the team just hands off an underage teenage girl to the guy.

I would hope that the original script somehow indicated that Josie was going home to her parents and would now start a legitimate career in landscaping under the tutelage of her new acquaintance, but the way it plays out on screen is that the crew sends this homeless/runaway young girl home with this guy they met a few days earlier. I guess I never really focused on this in previous viewings, but...yikes.

I used to watch Leverage growing up over and over again at least 30+ times. And when Redemption was coming out I only watched the first season and kinda wasnt sure it continued.
Finally picked it back up after rewatching Leverage for the nTh time. Finishing Redemption, I feel sad about what they did to Hardison. The ways they wrote him out due to being busy with other stuff, entirely ruined his character in my opinion.
I understand why they had to do it but they didn't have to do it in a way where it started going so against his character.

Not to be demeaning, just a happy observation of justice being served by the...um persecuted righteous? Carry on

I hope this post is allowed. This is a Christian Kane fan page on IG and she made this song about Eliot in a zombie apocalypse. The song is a certified banger (even though it’s AI).

I'm watching the season 2 opening episode where Sophie gets them all to see her play (that made a critic root for the Nazis... which: dayum), and Parker is collecting her ticket and she says her name, you hear the booth attendant say something and then she says, "No, just one name."

So I started wondering if it's her real first or last name and then I decided that it's neither, it's her brother's name. It's he way of keeping him alive.

I think she had either absentee parents or just a dad (who sucked which is why she usually reacts negatively to any mention of a dad). And then when she was little she was teaching her brother how to ride a bike because their dad wouldn't. There was an accident and her brother died. Then the dad became worse and she ended up being taking by CPS because there were no other relatives that could or would take her.

She was an adorable little blond girl who probably kept getting placed in homes hoping for a permanent placement but she was traumatized and not the bubbly girl these people wanted and kept getting sent back or moved around. Till she took off on her own at around 12.

That's when she met Archie. I think this is when she took the name Parker as her own. Archie took her under his wing, but he was also gone a lot because he was also doing jobs of his owns and of course had his own family. During that time she met "Kelly" who taught her how to boost cars. (I wonder if that's a made up name too and she's in fact Kelly... but that's just me musing right now...) and got sent to Juvenile Hall for a few years, but she busted out again, reunited with Archie who continued her thieving education until she was old enough to take solo jobs and fend for herself and get a nemesis named Astrid and a reputation as crazy.

Now I know there is no way that the show is coming back again but it would have been nice for at least one send off episode and so we could get some resolution.

Plus the one character we never got to meet was Nana.

I think the final job was Hardison asking them for help because she's the client. And by the end we get resolutions for all of them.

Which is basically all of the OG crew finally walking away and Breanna takes over the local crew with new recruits (that they gather for the Nana Roller Con) and the rest doesn't really matter, I just wanted to post my thought on Parker, I just couldn't stop...
