Nate Ford: Yeah, you seem pretty relaxed for a guy with a gun pointed at him.
Eliot Spencer: [looks at Hardison] Safety’s on.
Alec Hardison: Like I’m gonna fall for that.
Nate: No, no, actually he’s right, the safety is on.

1x01 the Nigerian Job
the first scene really establishes who Nate is: hotel bar, he'll punch you for bringing up his son
The introduction flashback scenes are so good (Eliot's is so dramatic)
Parker lived in Kansas City as a kid??
20 pounds of crazy in a five pound bag
I don't understand how the vents at the top of roofs work
Basketball playoffs almost blowing the whole job
Why the sink in the hall????
"That's what I do." Hardison nodding appreciatively
Nate begging them to talk to him but later he won't be able to get them to shut up
All the plans! No plan M though
The boys turning their backs in the elevator despite Parker not caring if they see her change
Eliot's Boston accent when they get to the lobby
Nate pulling up in the car for their first getaway scene, which is paralleled in the season finale
"You're the only one who's ever played both sides" Eliot are you accusing him of betrayal or being bisexual
The way they all act in the hospital is very telling about who they are: Eliot cuffed to a chair instead of a bed and immediately noticing Nate's hatred of hospitals, Parker of course already freed herself, Hardison sitting cross legged on his bed and trying to talk Parker into getting him out too
"He tried to kill us" "More importantly, he didn't pay us"
"The hell's a Sophie?"
Yes I read MacBeth in school but I go an academic team question about it correct because of the MacBeth scene in this episode
Sophie is the embodiment of "you don't have to be good at your hobby to enjoy it"
The way her flashback scene is also Nate's
Nate cannot stop smiling when talking to Sophie
"Let's go break the law just one more time!"
Eleventy billion dollars
"I'm thinking Nigerians. Yeah, Nigerians will do nicely." Walks away without another word, establishing the running gag of him doing so
I just noticed that Nate is wearing his original headset still instead of Hardison's earbuds, unlike the rest of the crew
This episode also sets up the trend of the marks setting their own trap by calling the authorities themselves and being shocked when they get arrested instead
I always thought the young guy with Dubinich was his assistant or something but based on the meeting I think he's the head engineer? He looks like twenty years old?
The fact that they actually are Nigerians (when watching for the first time I was so confused where they got other grifters to help them out)
The FBI agent's face when Dubenich runs away is so exasperated
"Sir I can take your underpants" why is this agent my new favorite minor character (other than Liam and Connor of course)
The shredded paper raining down on the FBI agents + the crew doing their walk out
Their true goal being to just crash the stock (Hardison is so good at what he does)
"Somebody kiss this man so I don't have to"
Repeating their lines from the beginning but less convinced about forgetting each other this time
I am forever a fan of the overhead walkaway shot
Alternative revenue stream
"People like that, corporations like that, they have all the money. They have all the power and they use it to make people like you go away. Right now you're suffering under an enormous weight. We provide...Leverage."

I gave my husband a list of the three comfort shows I've been wanting to rewatch and he got to pick an episode to watch together tonight before bed.
The first episode of Leverage, the first episode of Blood Ties, or the first episode of Revenge.

I have so many thoughts about the OT3
Parker casual touching Eliot
Eliot taking care of Hardison when he is drunk, being around him like a worried husband: „don’t drink so much,“ and later brings him aspirin
Eliot and Hardison having their special hand shake, understanding eachother without words
Parker and Hardison being a happy couple
Eliot and Parker also understanding eachother without words, traveling around the world together
The ot3 being just casual together, always circling around each other
And this was only episode 1
Be gay, do crime is back on the menu

Eliot Spencer: This thing safe?
Alec Hardison: Yeah, it's completely safe…it's just you know, if you experience nausea, weakness in your right side, stroke, strokiness…
Eliot: You're precisely why I work alone.
