LEVERAGE 

This was an amazing scene and is probably one of my favorites from my very favorite show. For many reasons. Mostly because it demonstrates why I love this show, despite it having one of those straight white super smart male leads. Nate here is being ridiculed, humiliated. Everyone is staring at him, embarrassed on his behalf. He does not come back from this moment, call his ex-wife a bitch or a liar, or try and humiliate her in turn. His embarrassment remains and lasts. He is our protagonist, our lead, but he is not untouchable, he is not perfect, and he is not always right.

I was sitting in this park, on a bench, looking up at the night sky and all the stars and stuff, and I blinked and suddenly the entire sky was different. I’m talking different constellations, the sky absolutely packed with billions more stars, some so close they’re massive. I’m like wtf and suddenly I realise there’s an old man sitting next to me, dressed in like 1940s clothing, also looking up at the sky.

before I can ask him if he’s you know, noticed, he speaks, without looking away from the sky.

“this is what the universe really looks like,” he tells me.

“oh,” I say. a pause. “…can you put it back?”

he smiles and nods. I look up. the sky has gone back to normal.

“what do I do with this information?” I ask, looking at him again.
