OMG thanks to a kind person in the US I just saw the first episode of Leverage: Redemption.

I’m supposed to be writing but how can I concentrate on my fic after that? I’m practically vibrating in place that I got to see it.

Just Ahhhhhhhh all the screaming. It was SO good.

All the callbacks, all the references, the fact that they didn’t just forget Nate, they didn’t derail anyone’s happy ending. They made it realistic what happened. It’s sad but it fits.

The banter, the in-jokes, how comfortable Eliot, Parker and Hardison are together. Hardison’s speech! About redemption being a process and Sophie referring to him as Nate’s son/legacy. Plan M, and Lucille and just everything. I can’t even be coherent.

This first episode was like the biggest love letter in the world to Leverage. This isn’t a reboot, it’s a continuation and I’m in love.

Harry, Harry, oh Harry. Honestly I thought it would be weird because it’s Flynn from the Librarians (oh and I loved the Libris reference as to his former employer hehe) but it actually wasn’t. I didn’t feel like I was watching Flynn and Jacob Stone. I could clearly see it was Eliot and the ‘new guy’. I don’t know how Christian Kane does that, does he hold himself differently or something?

Oh the gloat! The gloat! They did the gloat 🙂 gotta love that!

I feel like I should be saying more stuff but I just have all the feels, all of them. I’m on like a happy cloud of “OMG I just watched a new episode and ahhhhh” is about as coherent as I’m getting. Oh I loved it, I loved it.

The only problem is watching it how I did I now can’t immediately watch it again haha. Oh man I can’t wait until the UK gets this properly so I can watch the shit out of it. I want to support it officially. I want to scream so loudly about how good this is so maybe, just maybe, we might get even more.

The world needs more Leverage. This was a damn excellent start 🙂
