The Morning AFter Job?

[nonniemous]

So, any thoughts? Comments?  Favorite moments? 

My favorite moment would have to be the green bow.  I could not stop laughing at that.  And the look on McSweetie's face.  

Those were certainly anvils about Eliot's past.  There was a gun, there were kids, and somebody died and he's either clearly or felt responsible.  Not sure how that ties in with his comments to Kaye Linn in "The Studio Job," but the anvils, they were a-fallin' in this episode. 

Could there be anything cuter than Eliot and Hardison out and about and playing cops?  Those two were having way too much fun.

Parker as dead chick was awesome.  I liked the way, too, they carefully avoided the having her sleep with him route.  Though the fact that Nate was willing to put her in that position creeps me out just a bit.  
 
Hmm...not much else to say. I ranted a bit in my own journal about things, but nothing of real consequence.

So, is anyone else out there? 

*listens to echoing silence in the room*

The kids-and-Eliot is something we've seen before -- remember that scene with Eliot and the kid at the hospital who was being abused, I think it was last season? There's a definite inference that can be made from that. Whatever it was, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a situation where Eliot felt helpless to stop what happened.

I did like the reuse of Alice White as a pseudonym for Parker, and meeting up with the FBI agent again was cool.

Nate's only hesitation re: a given scheme is: would he do it to achieve his goal? If the answer is yes, then pretty much he's going to do it. He figures his team can handle it -- else he wouldn't order them to do it. If they really have issues, they know where the door is. I'm not as creeped out re: the implication because it feels like something Parker would've asked about; we just didn't see it.

the green bow was awesome! but i think that my favorite moment was at the end when we found out that Nate's getting played. for some reason, that just made me squee.

the Alec/Eliot in that ep was beautiful b/c it was so OMC and so very them. as were the anvils. i think that it's great that they're NOT making his past canon, but that there are enough breadcrumbs that most of fanon will have the same conclusion... that's so cool.

Parker was wonderful, AND she did NOT stab her guy with a fork. this shows personal growth.

and i would like to state for the record: i think that all of Frakes' eps are fantastic. i think it's b/c he gets that the crew is doing this b/c it's FUN, so he makes the set fun, and that makes the SHOW fun. *smishes him too*

I was also a little squicked by Nate using Parker that way. Very glad they avoided her actually having to flirt or get physically close with the guy. Parker's pretty naive about anything with sexual overtones (which kind of surprising with her background) so she may not have considered how badly the con might go. But I'm not surprised by Nate using the crew any way he wants just because he can - he's done it before, and Sophie's rightly called him on it (with Parker in fact).

I loved the blue lips!

Did anyone else think that Sophie knows, or suspects, something about either "The Italian" or the Moreau sitution than she's keeping to herself? She seemed to be thinking very hard about something at the end there...that would be awesome if she's figured something out that Nate is oblivious to right now.

Hardison+Eliot as cops was AWESOME. I loved that cop!Eliot's first reaction was "There might be kids!!"
