Leverage "The Gimme a K Street Job" Review: Backflips and Ballots

This week, a story about cheerleading and a story about government came together surprisingly well.

Too Much Going On

6.0

By thefanof, Aug 22, 2012

This could have been a good Leverage, but there was simply too much going on here. If it was just, "Let's steal Congress!" or "Let's steal a cheerleading team!" it could have worked, but there was too much going on and too many different characters to keep track of. I also did not like the even more than usual megalomaniac attitude by Nate in this episode.

Not bad, but one of the season's weakest.moreless

- Sophie: Did you know about this? Girls being dropped from twenty feet? It's unbelievable.
  Parker: I know, right? Twenty feet? Psh! Walk it off.
  Sophie: Parker, you do know that normal people just don't walk off a twenty-foot fall, right?
  Parker: So, all those times I pushed Hardison off a building and he was all "Ahhh!", he wasn't just being funny?
  Eliot: I thought it was funny, Parker.
  Hardison: You're always upside down.
  Eliot: You're always upside down.
  Hardison: I fell off a building, I was...
  Eliot: Like a Himalayan tree frog.
  Hardison: You call me a frog? You call me a damn frog .Say it to me again, say it to my face.

- Sophie: Ah, I love government. Shady deals, back-room meetings--it is grifter paradise.
  Eliot: This is wrong. We work outside the law, not smack-down in the middle of it.
  Nate: Relax, Eliot. Elected officials are the easier marks in the world. Between their ego, their greed, the politics... more hooks than a bait shop.
  EDIT SHARE
- Nate: Okay, so what's your next play?
  Eliot: Well, you're supposed to be the mastermind. He doesn't want power. He doesn't want money. Maybe he really is an honest man.
  Nate: Everyone has a hook, Eliot. Everyone has a weakness you can exploit.
  Eliot: Do you?
  Nate: No. You?
  Eliot: No.
