FINALLY!

Leverage Season 3 dvd's have a release date!

It's about damn time, people!

Why yes there does need to be a giant picture of Eliot cuddling an adorable puppy at the top of this blog.

You didn't know you needed that in your life until I just told you. But you *did*.

Leverage Random Rambling

One of the many things I love about Leverage is how they give you bits and pieces all throughout the shows to let you learn about the team and their pasts slowly, not all at once.

I mean, Eliot is my favorite. My absolute favorite. And one of his defining characteristics is that he's angry at the world. All the time. Except when he's fighting. When he's fighting, he is absolutely in control, and everything becomes crystal clear. He's taken the anger and the pain and the violence inside of himself and focused it on doing good.

And you can see glimpses of where all that comes from. Like, in Order No. 23 Job, when he saves the kid who's being abused by his father. You can see it in the way Eliot looks. The way he moves, the way he recognizes the symptoms when no one else does. Eliot came from home a violent home, and he knows that it broke him in highly significant ways, but with the Leverage team he has a family. Highly whacked and dysfunctional, but they're better together, and they make each other 'normal'.

Is Jim Butcher a Secret Supernatural Fan?

I can't believe I forgot to include this last night!

This section:

'I drew the eighteenth-century German dragoon pistol from the open drawer beside my left hand, aimed, and fired. The ancient flintlock snapped forward, ignited the powder in the pan, and roared, a wash of unnatural blue white fire blazing forth from the antique weapon. I almost fancied that I could see the bullet, spinning and tumbling, blazing with its own tiny rune.'

What's that remind you of?

Why....this! Of course...



Sooo...new, cracky theory? 'Marcone' is Dean Winchester, all grown up. Mmmmm... I need to think about that one some more.

It's not the first time that fandoms have imitated each other. I think that American Gods is closely related to the serial killer convention from The Sandman comics. And Supernatural borrowed the cutest hell hound on earth from Gaiman's Good Omens for Yellow Fever, and the Hammer of the Gods ep was very echo-y of American Gods itself. And let's not forget Crowley! I don't care what you say, he's related to Crowley from Good Omens! You can't prove otherwise!

Oh! Because I *can*, cutest hell hound ever!



And unrelated to above, I finally watched Sunday's Leverage. It's Christian Kane singing! *sigh*

And Nate said, 'I love it when a plan comes together!' Oh, A-Team reference. You come so naturally in this show. I need a fic where the A-Team meets the Leverage team. I'm certain it exists. How could it not?

*ALSO* There is apparently a cap on how many labels one can use on a single post. What's up with that?

Leverage Thought For Next Week

Hah. I can't believe this didn't occur to me until this morning. It's a music scheme, apparently, and it's country. So...will Eliot sing? Please? Pleaseplease? *flail* I *love* Christian Kane's voice, so much. The ep on Angel where he sings is just...*sigh*

Give me musical Eliot! It goes with his other skills, like cooking and hitting people! :)
