Man, Leverage S2 09 barely managed to finish broadcasting before all the shrieks of "Mary Sue!" and "Kill it with fire!" started rolling in. Lol fandom. Y u so predictable?

Because being a competent grifter and possibly having some basic lockpicking skills? Totally over-the-top Sue-powers there. (Never mind Sophie's ability to make every man she so much as looks at turn to putty in her hands.) And Hardison making a comment about how hot Tara is? Ewww, total Suesville. (Never mind Hardison has been commenting on Parker's hotness throughout the whole damn series.)

Though I'm sure that despite all logic, if you stomp around and define the term "Mary Sue" for us enough times, we'll agree with you. Yeah uh no.

Aaanyway, I too am hoping for Gina Bellman's imminent return to the show, since the whole dynamic's thrown without her, but I'm kinda liking Jeri Ryan's character so far, too. I hope they don't overdo Hardison's attraction to her in order to create tension between Hardison and Parker; that would be a little too cliche for my tastes. (Although I'm curious as to how jealousy would manifest itself in Parker. She's much too bizarre for any normal kind of jealous behavior.) Approve of Eliot's longer hair, and also the merciful laying off of the hair mousse. He looks much better like this.

Am now wondering what the hell I am going to do until January. x_x How is it that if I get into an American show, it's right before or during an incredibly long hiatus? It happened with Avatar, too.

And I suppose I never said anything about last week's Leverage, either. Eh. This:



Says allll I could need to say.
