Elehen	1. RE: Episode 204, The FaIry Godparents Job Aug 6 2009, 11:34 AM EDT The Leverage we love is back, 100%! The plot, pacing, characterization, and dialogue were great! I loved the backstage fight, and the return of our favorite FBI agents. I'm not sure how I feel about Eliot's facial hair, though... Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Duelgrey	3. RE: Episode 204, The FaIry Godparents Job Aug 6 2009, 10:27 PM EDT Loved it! I must admit the Slow Start of the Season was a little Worrisome but they pulled it out of the Hat. Eliot had facial hair? I guess I missed that. He just doesn't do it for me. I loved his Martial Arts class with the Teen Girls, LOL. Parker as a Roper? Hardison as the Entry Expert? Broadening Horizons I guess. Sophie teaching and learning that you are who you are was a wonderful way to expand her character. But wasn't the Villian the same as last week? Both Ponzi Players with hidden funds. Where's the Evil Twin Team with No Moral Compass? The Returning Villian with Revenge on His/Her Mind? How about the Master Conman who uses the Team and leaves with the Teams' Alternate Revenue Stream at the End? I'm a Watchin'. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

But then again, I have a lot myself. It was good seeing the team being flexible in their roles. Yes it was a bit repetitive having Madoff-alikes in two episodes, but that's exactly the type of crook that Leverage Consulting is cut out to handle. Perhaps the ex-girlfriend rancher that Eliot went to help in season one. It would be a good match, leaving no one alone - Hardison & Parker (what is Parker's first name? or Last?), Sophie & Nate, Eliot & Aimee. I think a good plot twist would be the team in a desperate situation and rescued by someone they've helped in the past. It would show that good will comes back to reward you. Another plot twist would be some cloaked, anonymous and powerful person who swoops down to give them leads to clients, as well as help, yet remains an enigma. Perhaps someone high up in the 'power structure' who sees helping Leverage Consulting as his only happiness when he or she is otherwise powerless to stop the evil around them.

CSG1002	6. RE: Episode 204, The FaIry Godparents Job Aug 12 2009, 2:18 PM EDT I loved the reappearance of FBI Agents McSweeten and Taggart! ( “The Bank Shot Job” and “The Wedding Job”) Even though it’s unrealistic that these same FBI agents continuously show up at the various cons, the chemistry between Parker and McSweeten is so cute. I remembered them from the "Wedding Job" and had to rewatch the bank job to understand why they didn't remember Agents "Elmore" and "Leonard" (pun intended, I'm sure). Did you check out the double-take by Hardison when they were flirting? Loved it! They should definitely make more appearances. I wonder if the guy playing McSweeten is related to Chris Downey, one of the producers. After watching "Secondhand Lions" again this weekend, I still want the writers to somehow reference Christian's Kane's "swashbuckling" character in that movie. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

" I've wondered about Sterling becoming more involved in the Leverage team's jobs...from a distance of course, but think that it could be interesting. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Is it me or didn't the stepson remind you of a young Ben or Fred Savage? I did not like the make-up job on Timothy; even though, he pulled it off and he still makes my heart aflutter. No matter how old they make him. Just a side comment: On the "Three Days of the Hunter" when Timothy was wearing the Military grab, I was so afraid they were going to kill him off. Is there a movie in which Tim wears Military fatigues and he doesn't die such a horrible death? as the facial hair on Eliot. Man that man can do anything to his appearance and he'd still be hot. I believe that the facial hair or any changes to Eliot's appearance is a hint to his life outside of the teams jobs. I don't know why? Post reply Do you find this valuable?
