first of all, who let me get so emotionally invested in a television show

(Rewatch) Leverage Marathon//Week 03//1x03: Hardison
“There was a girl I grew up with but, anyways, she married somebody else.”
“Hot damn, what did you do?”
“What did I do? I liberated Croatia.”
“Well, see, now me, I’d’ve just got fat, started up a comic book shop. That’s you and me right there.”

Now, you can take that as a gift or you can take it as a curse. And that’s up to you.

What is marriage? Is it running around rooftops in Paris? No. It’s hard work.
Leverage | THE BRIDESMAIDS JOB
Nate and Sophie get married, fuck catering Eliot will cook everything, and Parker, Tara and Maggie are bridesmaids. At some point INTERPOL turns up (headed up by Sterling and his group of hot female agents of course), and the wedding dress goes missing so Parker, Tara and Maggie have to find some way to steal it back. Setting includes the rooftops of Paris.

Unless you were an oblivious fan of Leverage, or a “grifter” as a fan is called, then it should comes as no surprised that Leverage got the ax last night from TNT. While I admit that my love for the caper series had cooled down over the years, I still loyally tuned in every week to watch Nate, Sophie, Eliot, Parker, and Hardison. And yes, I have seen all 76 episodes to date and I am anxiously awaiting to see The Long Goodbye Job on December 25. The Leverage season finales are always a treat and I am hoping that this will be no different.
Looking back over the years, Leverage is special to me no matter how much I downplay it. Leverage was the first show since Growing Pains where I become actively involved and invested in a show and it’s characters….and that’s no small accomplishment in my book! (The only other show that can claim this besides GP and Leverage is The Office…clearly, I am picky).
Leverage is the reason why I got a Netflix account. Leverage is the reason why I got a Tumblr account. And by the way, my first Tumblr post on THIS blog was of Timothy Hutton. I wanted to get an iPod SO badly just so I could put Leverage commercials and fan videos on it to watch whenever I needed to escape from my job/life.
I cheered when Sophie came up from under the covers in Nate’s bed in The San Lorzeno Job. I cried during Parker’s dialogue to Eliot in The Long Way Down Job. I laughed every time Eliot said, “DAMNIT HARDISON”. I held my breath with Hardison’s as he was locked in a casket underground in The Grave Danger Job. I always worried about Nate’s functioning alcoholic problem. And of course, I was on pins and needles during Leverage’s nod to The Office in The Office Job.
Nothing will beat Leverage’s first two seasons. To be brutally honest, the last three seasons were hit or miss for me. It was still great television but I felt the series changed and shifted its focus. I almost felt it “jumped the shark” with The Big Bang Job and Eliot leaping through the air with guns and explosives all around him. The fifth season was great but I felt it lacked direction and character development. I guess if that’s the case, it ended at the right time.
Goodbye Nate. Goodbye Sophie. Goodbye Eliot. Goodbye Parker. Goodbye Hardison.
I mean, dang, I feel like I just got sucker-punched by an elf-hating, scrooge-loving, no-gift-giving anti-Claus. I mean, am I bleeding?
