@pscentral​ event 36: trios alec hardison & eliot spencer & parker

look, I know it’s not the same thing but hardison and I are gonna be here for you forever.

can't believe the plot of leverage is literally 'man gets hired to be a project manager for Crime and then is forcefully adopted by the employees he doesn't want'

[losingthegame]

any episode that acknowledges parker and eliot do have different core ethics than the others does make me bonkers insane

[losingthegame]

I'm not sure how well it holds up but I like this idea that leverage is told from the point of view of the mastermind of that crew, so the original series is steeped in Nate's anger and rage, obviously it has its lighter moments but the series as ads whole definitely finds a more grim tone with Nate at the helm. On the other hand, leverage redemption is told from Parker's perspective, everything is lighter l and more whimsical, less righteous crusade and more justice (and humiliation) being served, the show occasionally dips into a more grounded tone (from my recollection when hardison is around) but overall it's sillier with sound effects and costumes and brighter colors. Just a thought

parker maybe no last name maybe no first name may i have your hand in marriage

"I see my own feelings through the feelings of others because I don't feel in ways that they do" is some brilliantly respectful fucking writing for an autistic character. She feels very deeply, but she can't explain it, not even to herself. And when she tries to, everyone else scoops in with their guesses and she just gets more confused, but ends up agreeing with whatever they're saying because in the moment she feels like they must be right. Because they know her and they're better at the feelings stuff. Truly, all Parker wants is to be understood. But not only by others - by herself as well. Feelings and intentions are confusing to everyone, but more so to the people whose brains work so very differently from what is considered "the norm" in most any modern society.

In short, I love this episode. It showed me that this new Parker is still my Parker. My first ever favourite and one of the first I've related to without realising it. She's weird and she's honest, and she's bad at socialising, and people confuse her, (especially when they hurt others). And she's also brilliant, funny and loving and incredibly protective, in ways that only a Parker can be. I'm so glad Beth understands her as she does. I love her.
