On Leverage

rsadelleI've been watching Leverage via Yidio (TNT's finally putting them up online, but they're seriously delayed). The most annoying thing is that Yidio and TNT are not in sync - Yidio has the wrong episode titles every time TNT airs them out of their original intended order. Actually, the out of orderness is annoying for other reasons too. I got the feeling during this week's episode that I was missing some Nate/Sophie background.
The show is lots of fun, despite the occasional hugely obvious product placement and the shoehorning in of one of Chris's songs for cross-promotional purposes. (Look, I have no problem with them using Chris's songs, but "More Than I Deserve" is not a goodbye song and shouldn't have been played over a goodbye scene, and really shouldn't have been cut off just before the song swoops up again.) If you liked the Ocean's movies, you'll probably like Leverage, and if, like me, you saw the original trailer back in the spring or summer or whenever and thought, "Oh, Chris, why are you always on terrible shows?" you should know that the second trailer actually made it look as good as it is, which is way, way better than how the first trailer made it look.
When I first started watching, I really wanted Eliot/Hardison/Parker, and I knew even before the show first aired that Eliot/Hardison was going to be the pairing of choice (both thanks to the posts on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
c_kanedaily and because it's Christian Kane and Aldis Hodge). (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
with_a_kay wrote an entertaining, non-spoilery snippet.) The more I watch, though, the more I want to bake Parker cookies and cuddle her and be the mommy she never had. Ahem.
Anyway, I'm kind of afraid to go looking for Leverage fic, but if you know of anything good, especially anything Parker-centered or Eliot/Hardison/Parker, tell me about it!
