ekjohnston: drst: greenbergsays: One of my favorite things about Leverage is when a bad guy points a gun at Eliot and there’s that moment of,”well, this is gonna be awkward for you,” that crosses Eliot’s face. They always make a point to give us, the audience, that moment of knowing too. it’s a very distinctive… Continue reading
“Floor to ceiling windows give an open ambiance but very little cover from sniper fire. Creative appetizers and a limited but well selected wine list. Excellent prices. Four stars.”
“Production values at this theater are very high and the classic 1950s construction makes it very easy to contain hand to hand combat in a hallway. They give back to the community and host amateur theater productions all winter long. Five stars.”
“Unflappable staff members are friendly and ready with a book suggestion or a pressure bandage, even right before closing. Free coffee is a nice touch. Sorry about the armchair. Four stars.”
#i am WEEPING at the COMPLETE ACCURACY of this post #eliot ‘if i’m not honest with you you can’t improve’ spencer #always seeking out teachable moments #a true believer in honest feedback #and real constructive criticism #i bet eliot is that person who actually fills out the comment cards in hotels #like in between accidentally trashing them during a fight and fleeing the scene #i bet there is at least one barista in the town of portland who has gone home and been like ‘so my day was weird #this hot guy with huge arms came in and ordered an americano and then brought it back #and insisted on coming behind the counter and showing me what he said was a better way to pull espresso shots #he told me he learned how to do it while waiting out an assassination attempt in italy?! #then he jumped over the counter and walked off yelling DAMN IT at his friend it was v strange’ #eliot spencer stops fights in the street and teaches both sides of the tussle how to better utilize their strengths #eliot spencer always logs online and fills out the customer surveys when the bottom of a receipt requests it #in that episode where hardison runs the con and gives them all an evaluation sheet #eliot hands it in covered in writing front and back and only 15% of it is bitchiness intended to rile hardison up #(it would have been 10% but hardison came over and started bugging him while he was finishing it) #ONCE A YEAR ELIOT SPENCER SITS DOWN AND WRITES A COMPREHENSIVE LETTER TO HIS CONGRESSMAN #a terror in the streets a sub in the sheets and TRULY HOPING TO HELP YOU DO YOUR VERY BEST the rest of the time (gyzym)
it’s been about a year since this post and i’m still not over the genius of #a terror in the streets a sub in the sheets and TRULY HOPING TO HELP YOU DO YOUR VERY BEST the rest of the time
liberteaandjusticeforall: I love how Eliot isn’t really offended when you hit him or point a gun at him (for the most part) but if you touch Parker or put a gun in the general vicinity of Hardison it is GAME OVER for you my friend HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY HACKER AND MY THIEF well… Continue reading
hungrylikethewolfie: After quite a bit of thought, I believe I’ve finally put my finger on what it is I love about Eliot’s running “it’s a very distinctive ____” gag, and I think it’s largely down to how Christian Kane delivers the line every time. It’s a potentially ambiguous line, by which I mean that it… Continue reading
liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike. let’s talk about their reactions here? because i 100% believe in my filthy trash bin of a heart that this episode was the point of no return for parker and eliot both, the point at which they both realised holy shit i am in way over my head.
look at those reactions. like, it’s not simple relief, it’s relief and *total fucking whelm*. and neither eliot nor parker has–allowed themselves, maybe, the relative luxury of just thinking about what someone means to them. because it’s always been a liability. for eliot, caring too much about people would just be something that someone could use against him; for parker, it’s what archie’s cautioned her against a million times: we don’t get involved.
and worse for both of them, really, is that they’re not–not too caught up in a job, not too wrapped up in their own reputations or…or things that could be forgivable, really. things that they could realise and chide themselves for and then pull back from, do better. no, instead they’re both of them way overinvested in another person, in a person who could be hurt, who could be taken from them because they weren’t good enough or fast enough or–or just because sometimes you lose.
parker and eliot have always been aware of when they should cut their losses and get out. but this–this isn’t an acceptable loss. maybe neither of them can say the word love just yet, even to themselves, but this is where they realise it.
hardison doesn’t die, but he comes back to life anyhow, and when he does, the whole world changes.
