Parker is a Joy to behold and I wish I could Behold. Who am I kidding? I was at work... I'll watch it now. The Con is On... Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable?

Cuero63	4. RE: Episode 201, The Beantown Bailout - Here's the Place to Discuss Away! Jul 16 2009, 12:54 AM EDT My favorite part, besides Eliot's crotch fiasco and the prep for the new HQ, was Nathan being the one to say, "Just one more [job]." Last season, it was the thieves, especially Eliot, saying, "Just one more." Post reply Do you find this valuable?
Wild-Kat	5. RE: Episode 201, The Beantown Bailout - Here's the Place to Discuss Away! Jul 16 2009, 10:45 AM EDT The opening lines about where the team has been were quite funny! Especially the part about being in Pakistan. Also found the factoid about being on security cameras 13 times per day was pretty interesting. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
Aviance	6. RE: Episode 201, The Beantown Bailout - Here's the Place to Discuss Aw Jul 16 2009, 10:46 AM EDT Last night was so awesome. They do such a great job at mixing humor and action. They feeling of family here is totally lacking from other shows, even ones based on a family. Choice parts: Eliot coming through the wall with a chainsaw and a smile. Parker and Hardison's conversation about relationships and keys. And Eliot justifying his explanation on Parkers nun outfit by saying "it's Parker" that seems to sum her up. PS what is Sophie's secret? Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Jul 16 2009, 10:48 AM EDT \| Post edited: Jul 16 2009, 11:04 AM EDT I just finished watching The Beantown Bailout. Somethings that profoundly disturbed me. Parker Hollowing out a Bible. Kind of wrong... Now tactically it was a Gideons Bible which usually isn't very popular with Catholics because it lacks some of the Apocrypha stuff (Roman Council of 382 and Some Maccabees) that have added to their more popular versions. I always like to use a leather bound addition of Moby DIck with the stems title worn off with an Emery board, Add a Bookmark with Cross and You portray a Cleric without feeling like you've robbed a poor box. If Catholic then The Complete Works of William Shakespeare... Hypothetically, of course. I'd never.. You Know... Ahem. I Loved the Show. Look at the Time, Gotta' Go.

Jul 16 2009, 11:25 AM EDT I loved it and glad Nathan didn't take that drink, its not necessary to portray his grief and demeans him Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

Hmm, I never even thought about that defacing of Scripture. It is wrong. I have problems just throwing away church bulletins after Sunday. Come to think of it, Hardison or Nate should have commented on it too. Hardison was raised Jehovah's Witness, I think, and Nate was in Catholic Seminary. Funny, the things you pick up watching a show multiple times. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
Elehen	10. RE: Episode 201, The Beantown Bailout Jul 16 2009, 5:42 PM EDT In all honesty, I was a little bit disappointed. All of last seasons, Leverage had perfect pacing. It was off last night. It felt like they tried to cram too much into one episode. It would have been better if they had made it a two-parter, expanding both the action of the job and the interpersonal play between the team members. There was so much untapped potential for both, there. I missed the one-line zingers that characterized the dialogue last season. I was also disappointed in their dealing of Nate's drinking. I still enjoyed it, but it wasn't what I was hoping for. Eight of ten, from me. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Maybe more concentration on one or the other but not both? I'm sure next week we'll get back into the swing of things. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Duelgrey	14. RE: Episode 201, The Beantown Bailout - Here's the Place to Discuss Aw Jul 17 2009, 10:36 PM EDT "Do you suppose her secret was the boyfriend?" Nope. Parker asked if Sophie had told him. I think Sophie and Parker actually had a "Girl Talk" and Parker being Parker was pushing for Sophie to tell Nate how She Truly feels. The People are like Locks Speech wasn't just about Parker's Feelings for Hardison. And would someone please get Eliot a Woman... The Man's Pants are about to Explode. I don't care what you say, That's Funny. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
N2seeleybooth	15. RE: Episode 201, The Beantown Bailout - Here's the Place to Discuss Aw Jul 18 2009, 6:08 AM EDT Great episode laughed out load at Eliot and his pants, and the refridgerator with Hardison's orange soda. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

I have to disagree. Leverage's humor is usually so far above such jokes. I wasn't all that impressed, really. PS-I love Sophie's new hair. She looks even better this season.

CSG1002	17. RE: Episode 201, The Beantown Bailout - Here's the Place to Discuss Aw Jul 25 2009, 6:04 PM EDT Loved Eliot's comment on Parker's nun outfit -- "it's Parker". I hope Eliot's statement about being in Pakistan results in a related episode. I agree that the rhythm was off and missing the usual zingers. Does the show have new writers? I also miss Sophie pining over Nathan but maybe the roles will be reversed this season. Their chemistry is undeniable. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
swizelstick	18. RE: Episode 201, The Beantown Bailout - Here's the Place to Discuss Aw Dec 26 2009, 12:54 PM EST What I want to know is if that guy's hair is going to get longer every season? It's pretty gross now, by season three it might reach his knees. I keep trying to watch the show and then boom, I see that hair and turn it off. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
