I have been rewatching a lot of Leverage
and watching Eliot
and comparing him to Lindsey.

Eliot is angry, like, A Lot, possibly all the time, but he's the kind of angry where people can poke him and he'll still think about how he responds, and if they're just playing he'll just say 'dammit' and tell them to quit it and move on.

I don't think poking Lindsey was ever going to go that well.
He gets angry and *mean*.
They make different angry faces.

I think I read Lindsey different having seen the same face make different feelings, or different takes on related feelings.

Even when Eliot is happy he's winning and satisfied with his own skill, which do happen, he don't seem to be enjoying people getting hurt. I think.

It is leaving me things to ponder.




Also, I always end up worrying about CK, all the stunts and all. He says it's like a dance but it still hurts. So I end up wanting to give him more armour and a nice sit down and possibly some foods.



I am in the middle of Leverage season 3 right now and it seems to me Parker and Eliot are having their feelings wake up but are dealing with them... not badly but maybe clumsy?
Like I'm not sure Eliot has figured out which bits make him happy. Kind of want to sit him down and have a long chat. But it would be about feelings so it probably wouldnt work.

I love these characters and now I know how the stories go I know I can trust them, with a few bumpy bits for alcohol.

Leverage is excellent.



Still need to figure out how to watch the reboot.
DVDs are so much simpler than all these streaming whatsits.

Did the tasks of the day, received the weekly food, ate comfortable portions of the food, including ice cream despite being cold, and watched a disc of Leverage.

I'm watching them in dvd order and it's very different than the order on wikipedia.


The time they're on the airplane on the way to the Caymans, The Mile High Job, the Librarian movie that's playing gets funnier given the Redemption casting. Small world.



While they're stealing a miracle Eliot mentions a nephew.

In crossover world we could get Lindsey McDonald on the family tree (after enough of a falling out someone changes their family name, which Eliot and Lindsey both have had). Lindsey mentioned six of them in one room and only four after flu season, and losing the house when he was 7. Not an exact fit for what else we know, but you can make it work.

The worlds only work together because it's possible to be ignorant of the demons and so forth, but if team Leverage were that ignorant of something that huge, it would be a difficult sell, given their general competence.

But there's the fun writer suggestion that Eliot works for the SGC some times, or used to, and it just never came up, outside of "you never know when you might have to fight an alien". So I figure it's more plausible the team are keeping secrets than that they don't know at all.

So that leaves me noodling what kind of secrets. Like they'd have one each. And each one would seem Huge and Secret, but also somehow not come up at work?

... tricky.

Librarians and Angel looks like it should be an easy fit (magic) but is so different in the detail it feels harder than saying masquerade worked on one team.


I dont feel like these are new thoughts.

I should watch something new and have new thoughts.



... I havent really felt like watching new things for A While now. Just... there's a lot of world in the world lately, and I want to know how the story goes before I start again.



Ah well.



Also today I bought the expansion for the Wingspan computer game that gives you European birds, so I have happy stuff to play on there. It's harder to make a plan with more birds though. And I'm not near my high score yet. Shall see how that works out.


Was a nice day.
