Watch the movie Marmalade. Tell me it's not an episode of Leverage.

I recently watched the episode The Ten Li'l Grifters Job (S4E2) and just realized this.
In the episode Nathan/Timothy Hutton dresses as Ellery Queen from the 70's series. In that series Ellery Queen was interpreted by Jim Hutton, father of Timothy.

Watching the above listed episode and the best part, to me anyway, is Nate's alias. Gnar Slabdash, the 'n' is mostly silent. 🤣 His first interaction with the mark, when the mark moves the knife away from Nate as he's asking about the cherimoya, is a little tidbit I just noticed and I chuckled a little. That actor (I keep forgetting his name) is one of my favorites and I first saw him on Crossing Jordan when he played Nigel. He plays this role very well and I get a laugh whenever I watch him in action.

I'm going through my umpteenth rewatch, and with all the sub's discussion on Nana and who should play her; I only just noticed in the beginning that she was originally dead at least in the first season.

Hardison refers to exclusively her in the past-tense in the Stork Job. And in the Miracle Job; Hardison looks up towards the sky when he's apologising to Nana, as well as doing the sign of the cross.

Do we know when they suddenly switched to her being alive?

So, pretty much the title. But here it goes.

1. Favorite main character? - Mine is Eliot
2. Favorite side character? - Mine is a tie between Jimmy Ford and Archie Leech.
3. Favorite episode? - Mine is The Inside Job, followed closely by The Broken Wing Job and The Last Dam Job.
4. Favorite baddy/mark? - Mine is Jack Latimer
5. Episode that makes you cry/emotional? - Mine is The Radio Job.

So, what are you guys' answers? Just want to get to know the fans better.

They finished filming it months ago and iirc they would announce the premiere date for previous two seasons not long after filming wrapped up, what's taking so long this time? I hope there's not an issue.

Angela Bassett would make an excellent Nanna

It's only been like....3 years of waiting? But it's there!

Does anyone know pose hate how Parker was written in Redemption? She doesn’t feel lime the same character at all. She’s too goofy, and isn’t as serious as she was in the OG series.

My other issue is that according to the end of the OG series, Parker should be running the crew, but in Redemption Sophie is. It could be that she is running leverage international and Sophie is running the main crew, but even so, I think the end of the OH series implied that she was the best suited to be a Mastermind

Is it just me but is the actor who plays Alex's grandmother in Cross would make a great NaNa? Just watched episode 6 of Cross and the scene where she confronts the retired cop? How I always pictured Na Na based on the various comments throughout both series.

I know this might be a bit controversial but from watching the King George Job Sophie is honestly the one member of the team I would never want to get mad at me. Piss her off and she is empathic enough to understand what your true hearts desire and use that. Yeah Nate will make sure you die. Sophie will dangle what you watched most in the world just out of reach and let you hang yourself chasing it.

"Come on Nathan, tell the truth. Didn't you have a little bit of fun playing the black king instead of the white knight?"

I really dislike this line for a number of reasons. First is that it's clunky and sounds very unnatural, especially coming from Parker. It could have easily been something like "Wasn't it more fun playing for the other team?" which would have been snappier. To say nothing of the fact that the Parker of the rest of the series would never call him "Nathan." It's just such an out of place line that feels like it's there only because the writer really wanted to include it. I can't even blame Beth for her delivery because I don't think you can deliver a line like that naturally.

As far as characters go, maybe Sophie could have gotten away with this line; or at least she's much better at delivering the follow-up line at the end of the episode. Either way I'm guessing this was just a matter of pilot episode weirdness as the writers and cast hadn't quite figured out the show yet.

okay, I don't understand the ownership part that is the basis for this episode. Grandma says her father built the house in 1921. So... have they not owned it since 1921? Or, if they were paying off a loan/mortgage from the time of 1921, you mean to tell me 100 years later its not paid off? It sounds like their family has continuously lived in that house, so I don't understand how they don't own it. Granted I've never owned a house myself so am I missing something there? Or, could it potentially have to do something with historical segregation, like maybe they weren't able to "own" it until removal of some racist laws? but even then, that would have been in the 60s-70s, so again, from then, were they not able to pay it off in that amount of time? How could the bank have possibly owned that house?

Where are the bad guys turned good guys that are going to cleverly take down all of these TV show quality evil bad guys?

Hey, I'm looking for a fanfiction - mostly probably a oneshot. Can't remember much, but what I do remember is that;

1. pre-Redemption

2. Eliot calls off the con, due to recognising the uber bad guys as super bad guys

3. Bad guys betrayed Eliot back in his army days - thus Eliot is terrified.

4. Eliot makes team head to safe house where he tries to dissuade them from continuing with con/job.

5. Nate convinces Eliot to go through with con/job as revenge for his past.

6. Fic ends with them toasting to Eliot's birth identity - I think first name is Thomas (might be wrong).

I'm pretty sure the fic is on ao3. Thanks

I got Chinese food last night and I'm looking at this pile of fortune cookies I was blessed with... I mean, if my lord and savior Parker Crimes says it's ok, I can totally have the fortune cookies for breakfast, yes?

Fine yes also I'm high 🤫 that's not the point 😂

Like it’s weird. I’ve been binging a couple of shows recently which led to this and I could always go to Youtube for a specific moment and always find it along with atleast 50k views while this amazing show barely exists there.

Also pretty small reddit and other communities. I’ve never even heard of this show in peripheral vision I was just randomly looking at different random pilots when I came across this show.

What happened for this show to be so underrated this should be mainstream lmao.

The only complaint I got is that they don’t really build a world -

Worldbuilding. They have offsprings of greatness but they don’t cultivate it. For example that painting, they could add on to that. The robot, etc. build an interesting side casts. Maybe a few gay people those are fandom magnets actually make Parker or Elliot Bi. Or just build a homoerotic platonic friendship I just watched House their fandom really loved it. Add on to Alec’s juice from mexico. Also more inside jokes those built the Psych fandom up really well. Sophir stopped pursuing acting like season 2-4. Make Nate a little more insane or easily triggered to make him more endearing to the audience.

I guess the point is you don’t really need to watch the whole show to get what is which you can just start at a random episode and get it.

The technical writing is 10/10 but maybe a bit of a push to make the audience more in tune with the characters.

There are little themes like Elliot loving kids and having the most weakness in the cases but it would have helped if it was done to others too and pushed a little bit more.

I just started watching Redemption and I'm enjoying it so far but I feel it doesn't take itself as serious as the OG Leverage Redemption is just missing something it's enjoyable sure but I can't get past how goofy everybody is so my question is do they start to get more serious or is this how the team acts for the whole series

I’

Can we just discuss their performances in the second to last episode of Season 4? I watched it not too long ago and it's still in the back of my mind somewhere. They were so good. Their shouting match in the patent office was top notch. It was one of the few times in my life that someone was so good I forgot I was watching a TV show. It felt so real and natural how they were just shouting over each other. The final scene was pure perfection. I loved how Nate, who is usually get calm and collected, was panicking and how Jimmy had accepted his fate and tried to keep his son safe. "Tell them how much Jimmy Ford loved his son". I'm not gonna lie, I cried a manly tear the first time I watched it.

Can’t believe I’ve only just noticed that Elliott’s cover character is Willy Riker - and Jonathan Frakes directed this episode 🤣🙈🧡

My personal favorite was the D.B Cooper Job

Okay so I found and fell in love with Leverage around the time season 5 was airing. I watched it so much, it was my comfort show. I remember watching Girls/Boys Night out episodes sooo many times. I loved watching Hardison and Parker get closer too. I never really saw OT3 then, but thought it was sweet they would stay together.

And now. NOW. I found it on freevee and have been watching it again and found out about Redemption so I took a scroll through this sub reddit and someone mentioned OT3. All of a sudden I was seeing things with new light. It clicked, and I loved it even more. I started reading so much fanfiction (literally so much - any good recs that are more than just a chapter??). Somebody posted the tweet where one of the producers/showrunners said "your OT3 is safe" and I was really excited getting into Redemption to see it. There was nothing obvious, but some tiny hints. Looking through the thread of that tweet, however, makes me thing that's all we will ever get. My interpretation of his conversation was they support us liking it and wanting it, but they don't want to go against a lot of fans that don't. Which, I get. But is sad. I think the most we will get is Mr. Eliot "Til my dyin' day" Spencer and his long luscious locks supporting them but not outright with them.

I can't wait for LR3, I'm so excited to see where the team goes and hope to continue seeing hints of OT3, but man do I wish there was a little more to grab with it.

Tl;dr I really love Leverage and OT3 and need more
