the way the leverage team make a mess of nate’s apartment on multiple occasions is so much funnier when you consider that none of them are particularly messy people. in the pilot, hardison has a very nice apartment that he is clearly proud of & has kept very tidy. parker’s warehouse is almost disturbingly neat, her tools and weapons are kept clean & shiny and are laid out in perfect rows, her bed is made, her clothes and rappelling gear is hung up. eliot likes things done properly and certainly at least cares for his car’s cleanliness. idk about sophie, but she would at least know how to act neat for a grift, and she’d be aware of how a guest to supposed to treat their host’s home.

but they all put unwashed dishes in nate’s sink, do spur of the moment renovations, set up new gear in his living room, leave clothes/costumes, plans & random items strewn about the place, and even tear up his stuff without fixing it. i love it. his apartment is their playground. they half live here now. nate just needs to chill out and let them saw into his walls, geez calm downnnn. i know nate’s eye was twitching when he saw that parker’s warehouse was so perfect meanwhile there’s probably 5 bowls of unfinished cereal hidden in his house like a damn look-and-find puzzle

Public speaking is actually really easy if you don't respect a single soul in that room. I've had an incredibly easy time delivering speeches when I hated everybody I saw and they all thought I did amazing because my disdain was read as confidence. I don't have any tips for you I'm just telling you a fact

I think Elementary is the only modern Sherlock Holmes adaption that actually acknowledges Sherlock's addiction in a respectful, meaningful, and realistic way.

Joan starts out as his sober companion, he attends meetings, he has a sponsor he actually talks to, he loses friends to their own addictions and struggles with what that means for his sobriety, he covers his mouth and nose when near smells that could trigger him, he doesn't drink at all, he talks about how addiction will always be part of him, he recognizes addiction in other people and bonds with them over the experience, and he worries constantly about relapsing.

Addiction isn't a convenient plot point that's only relevant when needed in Elementary, it's a fundamental part of Sherlock's character and the story.

I love it in Psych episodes when Shawn realises Gus' life is in danger. He gets real serious and real violent and I love it.

There's Something About Mira when Shawn keeps demanding a gun.

Gus Walks Into a Bank when Shawn hurls himself through police officers with 0 plan just to get to him.

Yang 3 in 2D when Shawn says "You kill him, I kill you, you got it?"

I'm sure there are moments I missed as well. A fair bit of the show does play Shawn taking advantage of Gus for laughs (Gus pays all his bills) but the show never goes too far imo. And part of the beautiful mosaic of their best-friendship is these kinds of moments.

Things I hadn't noticed in the Nigerian Job till my 6th re-watch-

The thing is, Parker does go out on the original count Nate starts on the rooftop, not the one he restarts after Hardison comments. That is her following the plan. The original plan.

Now when Hardison has Eliot at gunpoint in the abandoned factory Dubenich assembled them in, when Nate asked Eliot why he didn't look worried Eliot says 'safety's on', but Hardison doesn't fall for it. It's only when NATE says it he goes to check and gets the gun taken away. He gets the doubt from NATE, not Eliot. Because Nate is the (former) white knight, the straight and narrow, the Not-thief in their merry little band. They show us from the beginning just how powerful Nate's role is, having played both sides of the coin

Thirdly, Nate approaches a pissed off and cheated-out-of-her-money Parker a lot different than he treated the other two. He talks to Eliot in a levelheadedness he knows a professional hitter and extraction specialist like him would have. And he treats Hardison with quick and easy ruses so he's appeased and disarmed for the moment allowing him a moment to calm down. But PARKER, he treats with care and patience. Not condescension. Just a healthy respect for the fact that she is the best at what she does and the fact that she's not gotten her money yet makes her unpredictable and with her skillset nearly unwavering at her stance.

Idk man, every time I watch this show I'm blown away at the details and characterizations

the beginning of the hotel sequence in the big bang job is gonna haunt me forever. hardison getting more and more frantic in the elevator. eliot being super subdued and quiet, only speaking to tell hardison to stick close to him. eliot's microexpressions when moreau walks through the door. hardison glancing between eliot and moreau. the dawning horror in his eyes as he realizes that eliot knows moreau, and that he knows him pretty fucking well.

Underrated part of Elementary is the fact that Sherlock has a million weird little hobbies and they're not about annoying people or being inconvenient, they're just things he's genuinely interested in and enjoys and wants to share with other people.

He keeps bees and rehabilitates roosters rescued from cockfighting rings and does his own tattoos and fences and steals animals from crime scenes to keep as pets and is just generally living his best life. I love him.

Every episode of Leverage:

Asshole: *is bad guy*

Working class victim: Please help the authorities don’t give a shit

Leverage Team: *amazing plot to fuck up bad guy and then some*

Asshole Bad Guy: *gets what was coming to them and then some*

Me, every time: Absolutely groundbreaking.

I love that in elementary Sherlock shows the way he cares for people through actions. Despite being incredibly articulated and intelligent, he doesn't often verbalise how important Joan is to him. However, he constantly does things that show his love for her, even small things like preparing breakfast or getting her clothes ready. I forgot which episode it is but Joan donates clothes for the homeless and by the end of the episode Sherlock is finding blankets to hand out because he sees how important donating is to Joan therefore wants to acknowledge it and help her with something she's passionate about. He adjusts things in his life to make Joan more comfortable, like when Joan decides to make the basement her space, he respects her wishes. And the pure rage he displays when Joan is taken, he makes it so clear in his actions that Joan is of upmost importance to him. It is incredible that they show Sherlock, originally stagnant with his desire to remain alone, willingly adapting and making changes as he allows Joan into his life. Their friendship is so important to me.
