  • Not that bad an episode. It just wasn't up to the Leverage standard we've come to expect. And am I the only one not warming up to Tara?

    "Good"
    By Lilynette, Jun 08, 2010
    We've seen better. We've seen worse(At least I think we did....did we?).

    Overall, not that bad an episode. Sure, the con was a bit...boring. But, it's been so long since the last episode that I would have taken any con, to be honest. But I was expecting something a bit more exciting for the 2.5 premiere.

    On a more positive note, Eliot was being his flirty self and it was a pleasure to watch. Parker had her moments too. And Nate's costume was quite simply ridiculous. Don't know if that's positive or negative thing yet ;P

    As for Tara, all I have to say is : When is Sophie coming back? I have to say that I do not like her at all, and believe me, I've tried. She was quite alright when she was playing the lawyer in the previous episode, but now....*shivers*. Ever hear of a Mary-Sue, people?! Everytime she was on screen, I just wanted to smack her out of the picture. Sigh. I just hope we get the old Leverage back soon.moreless

    Ack. i did NOT like this one. I always look forward to Hardison cracking me up - the actor is amazing. but he was not doing much this ep at all and that was a huge gaping hole in the entertainment value. the con was boring - really really boring. every series is allowed an off ep or two but if this is a trend i'll be tuning out soon. I liked Jeri Ryan's character the first ep she was in but this time they made her character simply annoying. i wonder why this episode was so substandard - different writers? directors? ho hum.moreless

  • Not a good start.

    Leverage's 2.5 Season premiere drew very strong viewership (nearly 4 million), but this was not a very good episode at all. I do like the addition of Jeri Ryan to the cast, and just wish it was a full-time gig. Gina Bellman always stands out, and not in a good way, with the group. She just doesn't fit in whereas, Ryan seems like the perfect member for Team Leverage.

    This episode to me was just really, really boring. Fashion-themed episodes never really draw my interest, so this was no exception. And no crazy 5 minute Eliot fight? Come on, that's what this show is all about!

    Tisk tisk Leverage.moreless

  • The team has the opportunity to help a bunch of workers in a sweat shop run by a man and a woman from China. They use the women's interest in fashion to lure her into a con and then it turns out her husband is Chinese Triad and very dangerous.moreless

    Leverage is back from its hiatus. This first episode was a little uneven in so many ways. Not as clever as usual and the climax seem fabricated. I'm not sure anyone wants to cross the Chinese Triad, but once they were in the situation it seems it was the only way out. The communication between Tara and the rest of the team is a little crippling and it effected the story in this episodes case.

    I did enjoy the rise Tara got out of Sophie when she was taking about Nate. That was very cute. I think they are overplaying Tara's attitude and I'm not sure a grifter would come across that rash when she was trying to fit in with a new group of people as a favor to her friend. We'll see how it goes from here on out.

    It's fun to see Sophie with all the backdrops behind her. I guess Gina Bellman had a baby girl on December 17th and will be gone for the final six episodes of this season running thru February 17th as she is on maternity leave.

    This episode was a little flat compared to most of the previous season. It could be the subject matter or just getting use to the new chemistry mix. Let's hope next weeks episode pops more. Thanks for reading...moreless

    • Sophie: Look, we didn't get along when we first started. Eliot, how long did it take before you trusted me? Hmm? Eliot, you do trust me, don't you. Eliot: That's not the point, Sophie.

    • Sophie: The last time one of you tried to grift, you wound up kidnapped by Russians. Eliot: That's this brother right here. Parker: Hardison. Hardison: Uh, we--we still can't let that go?

    • Sophie: Listen to me. Tara Cole is the best. I wouldn't have sent her if I didn't trust her, and I know you're going to love her. So just--just give her a chance. Eliot: She is hot. Hardison: Very hot. Parker: Hot. (The others stare) Warm? Cold? Why are we staring?

    • Nate: We need a Caprina. Tara: W--what does that... So he just says things and walks away? Parker: Yeah. You're gonna have to get used to that.

    • Tara: Nate Ford is arrogant, he's condescending, he just doesn't listen. Sophie: Oh, Nate's having trouble communicating? I'm shocked.

    • Parker: How about this? Eliot: That's a shirt, Parker. Parker: Okay, but at least you can move in it. These clothes are totally impractical, okay? There's no range of motion, limited concealment options, and this reflective material would set off a motion detector a mile away. Eliot: It's a fashion show! It's not Thieves-R-Us.

    • Eliot: I date a lot of models. Lot of private fashion shows, if you know what I mean. Parker: Yes, yes. Eliot: But most of the dresses ended up on the ground. Parker: Yep, I get it. You're a guy. Eliot: Meaning they were naked. Parker: Okay, seriously? Eliot: Yeah... I'm just saying.

    • Tara: And for what it's worth, Sophie was right. You guys are the best I've ever seen. Nate: I know. Tara: But no one in this world is as good as you think you are.
