Thanks for contributing.
I really don...Love this! Thanks for contributing.<br /><br />I really don't mind Sophie?? As a general rule, that is: I think she loves people and wants to help them, and I think she's decently good at it. <3 Neither she nor Hardison strike me as terribly underdeveloped; obviously, they're not developed as MUCH as the other three, but I think we do get some quality "insights" into both of them.<br /><br />Huh, that's a really interesting thought about how we're not SUPPOSED to like Nate. I'll have to mull over that. ;)<br /><br />Thanks for commenting!

I've been a long time fan of Leverage, and as an English major, I spend a lot of time analyzing the things I like. I read through the 15 reasons for watching Leverage, and I never really realized how clean this show really is. They do get shot, and Eliot's catchphrase is "dammit Hardison" but they don't go out of their way to make things graphic or explicit. Another reason to love it. I also went thorough the comments about the character of Sophie, and I'm glad I'm not the only one that is frustrated by her. I think she exists to keep the team together, but she is heavily lacking in character development. The producers/writers poured all of their effort into Parker, Eliot, and Nate, and left Sophie and Hardison hanging. I am not a huge fan of her, but I don't hate her in the way a lot of people seem to. As for Nate, he seems to be the crusade for the entire show, and you're not supposed to like him. I write into this world a lot, and he's always the one that gets them in trouble. Yeah.

Now, as for Hardison and Eliot: I'm almost 100% sure that Hardison is an ENTP. Eliot is a bit harder to figure out, but my best guess is that he's an ISFP.

Hehe. Good luck and have fun ;D Parker + Elliot would be adorable, I admit. Oh, and Jessica, I just re-watched the episode (part of it was in the music video) when Elliot buys flowers for Sophie and Parker but lets Nate and Hardison take the credit--IT'S TOO STINKING SWEET I CAN'T. <br /><br />Yes, yes indeedy. <br /><br />Ooh, yikes…a favorite episode…well, I love the "Grave Danger Job" (which is in S4, I think), and the bioterrorism episode is really cool. I do like the finale a lot…I can't decide! There are so many awesome ones :D<br /><br />I knoooooooooooooooow, the wee babies <3 <3 That episode is really cool, too.<br /><br />ACK YES MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

YOUR PROFILE PICTURE! How happy it makes ...ROSIE. YOUR PROFILE PICTURE! How happy it makes me :D<br /><br />Hmm, what is it that I like about Sophie…well, in the first place, I don't think I would say that she has that much of a superior attitude (though I have been known to miss such things, I'm sure). I think the thing is that she is the most socially apt member of the team, and one of the things I like about her feeds off of that--she actually cares about people, in my opinion. Now, it's not like the rest of the team don't, but Sophie (and Elliot, I think) takes the time to recognize and validate other people's feelings and circumstances. So I like that about her :) As to the other things, I guess it's just a general liking of her--I think she's a pretty cute, sweet character overall :) (The accent probably helps.)<br /><br />Mhmm. I agree. Haha! Why, Rosie McCann, who would've thought that the star of the County Down would turn out to have such a wild tongue? ;D Oh, he is?! That's so cool! Have you and Jessica MBTI-d any of the other team members? Because I think it's really cool when you guys do that :)Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546655886492251059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-62652041410704838372016-07-10T17:10:58.867-04:002016-07-10T17:10:58.867-04:00Aww, thanks, Ivy!!

Like, seriously. I LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH AND I SHIP THEM SO SO SO HARD. Soary, Team Pardison, I can't help it :-) <br /><br />YES IS IT NOT THE MOST PERFECT THING EVER. I already was a huge fan of that song "I Lived," and seeing it together with all the Parker, Eliot, and Hardison clips . . . like, WOW. That's one of the best things about the show, I think--those three and the friendships they develop. <br /><br />Do you have a favorite episode? So far (out of seasons 1, 3, and 5, which is all that's on YouTube), I like best the bioterrorism episode, the episode with the cooking school, and the last two episodes of Season 3 (about Damien Moreau). <br /><br />That moment in the cooking-school story where Eliot was telling Parker, "This is my art," to try to show her how to access her dormant feelings again . . . I kind of melted in a puddle of feelings. It was almost too much. BUT IT WAS SO COOL. <br /><br />So yeah. Basically. Leverage is awesome and I am officially obsessed with it.

What is it that...Oh yes DARLING is the word for it. What is it that you like about Sophie? Because frankly I find it hard to appreciate any good that may be in her, seeing as she is such a controlling person. I'm sure there is good, but could you maybe point it out? :P <br /><br />Yes, Nate does have his moments, though a lot of the time his a total jerk. I could go stronger and quote Elliot, but that wouldn't quite be proper for the comment section of such a nice blog :D Still he is an INTJ like me, and as such I follow his thought processes really well.Rosie McCannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10756806467175885197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-54099023589020994002016-07-04T22:56:25.695-04:002016-07-04T22:56:25.695-04:00Tagged you for The Simple Questions Tag : )Tagged you for The Simple Questions Tag : )Ivy Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742281977062799876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-16484452122905297012016-07-04T15:55:57.631-04:002016-07-04T15:55:57.631-04:00GAAAAAHHHH THESE HAPPIES.
Yes, I agree. Quite ...GAAAAAHHHH THESE HAPPIES. <br /><br />Yes, I agree. Quite so. ;)<br /><br />(As a matter of fact, I also used to ship Parker with Elliot. Rather passionately, actually, and I continued to do so through the whole first two seasons. Then gradually I changed my mind. But I still think, though I'm diehard Team Pardison now, that Parker and Elliot would be cute, too ;D)<br /><br />AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! I hadn't watched that fanvid, and OH MY FEEEEEEEEEEELLLLSSSSSSS!!!
