The construction ditch in front of of the fire access was a nice touch.
I know some people who know some people. You know I take date night very seriously. Pretzel?
episodic show, no continuity and all that, but as long as we're talking headcanons about past trauma, what about s02e04 "for the good of the outfit" a general delivers a thinly veiled threat to hawkeye and trapper that if they keep poking sleeping military dogs, they could find themselves stationed permanently at an aid station along the front. in the same breath he threatens their civilian lives, telling them that though they will return to their practices when the war is over, the us army has long arms. hawkeye's letters to his father are surveilled. henry tells hawkeye not to leave the base or he could be arrested.
so i think hawkeye has a pretty good reason to be mistrustful, even hateful towards the army specifically, not just the war. his livelihood and prospects post-war have been threatened, his family dragged into it - that has nothing to do with any foreign entity. the subsequent trauma from such an experience has nothing to do with how good or moral a person hawkeye is, what his emotional or mental state in general might be. there's an abusive system leveraging its structural power to ruin a person's life, and the lives of the people they care about. its defeat is a fluke, and only possible because frank and margaret who are on the side of the system engage in the similar tactics - lying in order to take credit and collect rewards for an achievement they had no part in. even general clayton says that even he is looking down the barrel of the gun of his superiors.
the whole system works together to ensure the santized image of the united states and doesn't hesitate to crush its own citizens if they stand up against it, let alone the citizens of other countries. very serious, heavy, traumatic stuff.
Caitlin Snow couldn’t use the leverage of a smile to put him under her spell, yet her black-and-white portrait ran his mouth dry at the prospect of meeting her in person. Gazing into the camera with sultry dark eyes, the subtle hint of a smirk pulling at her lips, she looked like entirely too much trouble for him to be getting mixed up in.
And yet—
Girls like her didn’t tend to disappear into thin air.
[ Private Investigator Barry Allen is hired by Millie Foss to find her friend Caitlin Snow, who disappeared not long after Tommy Moran was shot dead in his apartment. His search leads him from the Moon River bar down to the Hemlock Motel, but will he like what he finds? Or are there other things at play? ]

Highlights from the Leverage S02E04 "Fairy Godparents Job" commentary track, featuring Executive Producer John Rogers, episode writer Amy Berg, and episode director Jonathan Frakes (yes, that Jonathan Frakes) Rogers: You know, though, if you say 'Red Alert' during the commentary, that means a million more people will buy the DVD. Frakes: RED ALERT! Shields up!

“Widmark?” “Rich people, man.” He ain’t wrong.
“There’s girls” Eliot, don’t be narrow-minded.
To be honest, musical science projects sounds delightful.
This was...kinda weird? The crime/leverage plot got pretty lost behind the whole kid thing, and then Nate keeps telling Sophie not to get so invested in the kid thing even though she’s not jeopardising the con in any way, and it’s trying to do character-development things but it all seems kinda off-base. The pieces were fine, but as a whole it didn’t fit together right. Sigh. Though I’m sure there’ll be a couple of months or so between me writing this up and it being published on my blog, right now it’s November 9th and y’all just elected a Biological Mistake in a shitty toupee as President, so I’m a bit shaken to be honest and I’m not focusing as well as I should. I’m gonna go take a breather.
