Holy *$£& (aka Leverage Review)

So yeah. I'm a freaking happy bunny.


How often does a season finale live up to its own hype?

Not freaking often. So I'm having some problems writing in full sentences regarding this pair of episodes, so let me paraphrase my thoughs for you:


GORAN VISNJIC - OH MY FREAKING GOD! (and can we spend at least a little time playing with the Croatian connection plz? Is anyone writing that yet? Can I bribe anyone to?)

Gun weilding Eliot with the line we have been waiting for for SO LONG? HOLY SHIT
Eliot with a 'it doesn't matter if I die so long as you actually do this thing' speech? I NEARLY DIED!
Bullet-time western-style gun fight with prerequisite explosion? FUCK YEAH
Train jump, glowing bomb and glowing bomb disarmament? GO HARDISON! :D

Eliot's backstory, at least an hour of ANGRY FACE, and about three self-destructs in the same amount of time. I DID DIE :(

Stealing an election, and a country!? *facepalm* Dear god they win so hard.
Sophie's death? (again!) So much win.

THE LAST COUPLE OF SECONDS? HOLY FUCKING SHIT THEY CLOSED LESS THAN PERFECT FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (ahem... sorry, got a bit carried away there)

So yeah, I'll write the cleaned up closing for Less Than Perfect over Christmas, with Eliot's reconnection and return next season with fresh Nate/Sophie/Eliot eyes.

I loved that by that point they were just overtly poking Moreau in the eye. *g*

I also loved the little Parker-Eliot beats. First in the park, then in SLJ, down in the tombs, when he realizes they can't get Flores out and she asks, "Are you okay?" Parker knows Big Brother is hurting. *sniffle*

Oh, and the very understated but so *there* grown-up relationship between Eliot and Nate. Nate knows exactly who and what Eliot is, and he wuvs him anyway.

I LOVE THESE PEOPLE!!!

I swear, if I didn't have to start wrapping presents (I am NOT staying up all of Christmas Eve doing it) I'd be writing so hard my fingers would be bleeding. These two eps just gave us so much! Manna from Rogers. *g*

I need a resolution between Eliot and Hardison. And I need Mama Sophie to tend broken!Eliot. I need to dig into Eliot/Moreau. And … and …

I think my brain is cramping. *g*

Worst thing is? My thesis isn't finished yet. *face-palm* I fail so bad. I have decided, though, that I will take some time off to write as hard as possible now and over christmas eve/day/boxing day before coming back to it on the run up to new years.

It's only gonna be one and a half months late...

Good luck with the brain cramp and subsequent outpouring of ridiculously awesome fic :D
