This bit kinda kills me because what do you MEAN he paid for cereal at a diner??? Does he not have cereal at home??? Is this a special little treat for him???
he probably tried to get something for free and ended up with cereal
thinking about the Sterling & Eliot fight scene in the context of that thing where Eliot seeming to be out of control is pretty much always a grift. It’s something I didn’t properly twig until reading this meta of the french connection job - and it surprised me how perfectly possible it is to watch the show and believe his performance at every turn.
(even with the example early on of Eliot using this trick - anger as a performance, quickly switched off - to get Sophie to admit that she wasn’t apologising. I will never be over season one Eliot successfully tricking the team’s grifter that way. And for such a gentle reason.)
so we get Nate strolling casually up to the table to ask Sterling what he’s doing here - which, big mob boss vibes there, it’s gorgeous - and I’m just thinking about how Eliot ‘snapping’ and going after Sterling allows Nate to be civilised, because Nate doesn’t have to threaten Sterling or remind him not to mess with them; his man, working for him and under his control, has already done that. And Nate being civilised and calling the shots allows Eliot to safely lean into his don’t-mess-with-me angry hitter persona, probably to make a point, probably to have a little fun as well. (Really I don’t even stop to justify that scene. It just causes me so much joy as it is.)
the first time I saw the french connection job, the ‘call off your dog’ bit bugged me. Nate hearing that and (after a moment) doing so meant he was implicitly agreeing with the idea that Eliot was his dog, and that Eliot wasn’t capable of standing down by himself. Which goes entirely out the window if it’s a grift. Reading it as almost transactional, an agreement between the two to enable each other to lean into their respective roles in little plays for their marks’ benefits - and their own - makes it so much better. Nate gets to come across as reasonable and in control of powerful assets; Eliot gets to scare people into believing that he really would hurt them badly if they gave him a reason, and his reputation survives another day, and people don’t look too closely.
“You know, people underestimate you, Eliot.” “That’s kind of the point.”
there’s quite a bit of trust in it, both ways - and an unspoken understanding of what’s really going on - and it just… I just think it’s neat.
#Playing Nate’s pet hitter is kind of just a different spin on his “power negative” grifts. #In one version he pretends the mark is the one with the power. #In the other he pretends that Nate’s the one in power and that the mark is in danger from both of them. #But either way Eliot rarely assumes the role of the person in charge #even though he’s the most ready to call Nate out of anyone on the team. #He doesn’t want to be in charge. But he has standards for how being “in charge” should be done and he will enforce them. [tags by @onyxbird]
#one of the things I’m forever grateful to this show for is the way it takes Eliot’s skillset seriously and recognizes that it’s not#entirely or even primarily about being able to hit others or even all about physical skill #Eliot perhaps more than any other character in the main cast sees what he does as a role and not who he is#(we see him bring the same professional pride to cooking that he does to fighting) #and he recognizes that a big part of his role is that underestimation - consciously downplaying and sometimes taking literal hits #(which Eliot notes in the tap out job & also in the 3 strikes job where he says he doesn’t like baseball b/c you can’t score on defense) #and because we get all that comments like that from third parties about Eliot being a thug or a dog never bothered me #because that’s the point - because he knows exactly what he’s doing and how much pressure he needs to apply and what aspects of his #skills he needs to play up or diminish #in the Rashomon job he just plays into the doctor’s pre-existing ideas to get him to do what he wants w/o using violence at all #and even the many times we do see Eliot be violent we never see him out of control - we always get the sense that with very few (drugged) #exceptions he’s always in control even when it doesn’t on the surface seem that way
Things I’m obsessed with after coming out of the Superman 2025 film:
- our introduction to this superman being him getting dragged across the tundra on his face by his dog
- green lantern’s use of the ‘big blue’ nickname
- Perry white and the daily planet core group not gaf about the mandatory evacuation and going over their newest story nonchalantly as people flee around them
- the rasp in David’s voice when he yelled the “People Were Going To DIE—“ line
- Lex Luther being pushed to TEARS at the end due to the intensity of his hatred for Superman
- the scene where Superman rising out of the dust and debris to make sure the lady got away okay (the visuals combined with the musical score gave me actual goosebumps)
- the clone reveal (I.e. the subtle nod to a Connor Kent storyline in the future hopefully and how this superman is going to deal with it)
- Lois’s apartment, just in general - also the fact that we got to see her apartment and not Clark’s
- just, everything time mr. Terrific was on screen to be honest but ESPECIALLY his ‘I’m goddamn Mr. Terrific” line
- the scene with the three kids holding up the flag, goosebumps again instantly
- the choice to make pa Kent and Clark’s relationship be the emotionally charged dynamic (we love to see male vulnerability not used as the butt of a joke)
- the score during the moment of eye contact between Lois and Metamorpho after they escape the pocket universe
- jimmy’s rizz factor being the technical reason they won the battle in the end
As a Korean girl, I just love KDH to another level...

I cannot get over those long-snout dog breeds that really do that nose thing. Like there's something interesting to sniff a little bit to the side, but not interesting enough to turn your whole head to sniff, and they just go

Leverage (2008) // S01xE04 // The Snow Job
This may seem like an exaggeration, the idea that one can learn how to properly think like a criminal by learning how crime stories work. On a personal note, let me tell a story from the Leverage writer’s room.
Apollo Robbins (http://www.istealstuff.com/) runs a crew of professional thieves who consult for law enforcement. He was also our criminal consultant on Leverage. Every few weeks he would visit the writer’s room to advise on the scripts and keep us up to date about new cons and the latest in criminal technology.
One day during the third season he sat in with the writers while we broke a story. We posted the details of a real-life white collar criminal up on the room’s whiteboard, using him as the basis for our Mark. We looked at his weaknesses, how he moved his money, what his hobbies were. Once we were happy with that element of the story we added a Vault to the mix, one that used an interesting new alarm technology we’d researched. We then spent about an hour figuring out how to circumvent that alarm. We even sketched out a map of the imaginary building so we could keep track of our Crew’s movements during the Job.
“Well, I’m done here,” Apollo muttered. Noting our confusion, he pointed at the board and index cards cluttering the wall. “This is exactly how real Crews plan these things. This writer’s room is now a fully functioning criminal gang. You could be thieves.”
Of course writing television pays better than crime (usually), with far less chance of being arrested (usually), so we all managed to resist the temptation. But aside from the day a US Attorney asked us to change a plot because we’d created a scam that was a little too foolproof, or when a Homeland Security Agent admitted they were spooked by a security hole we’d exploited in our season finale, it was certainly one of the proudest moments I had on the show.

Sometimes bad guys make the best good guys.
I think every day of my life about what was going through Damien Moreau's head when he saw that puppy broadcast. he has seen that man elbow deep in the blood of innocents. he has seen that man tear human beings apart like wet tissue. right now in front of his eyes The Eliot Spencer is gently cradling an adorable little pupper and softly explaining the evils of animal cruelty. I genuinely this might have been the first time he realised what he was up against because his entire brain must have rebooted in that moment.

Me slicing an apple: "I love apples. Apples are my favorite fruit."
Me pouring orange soda: "Lots of cars in the ‘30s were diesels. They would run on vegetable oil..."
Me taking out the trash: "Always a weak point. That’s when and where these guys are gonna strike."
Me rearranging flowers in a vase: "Do you have any instant pudding?"
Me hovering over the shrimp cocktail at a party: "Cor blimey, guv'nor! That there's loaded with sea roaches!"

oh & whilst I'm leverageposting- been thinking abt how in the Beantown Bailout Job (2x01) the crew is trying to convince Nate to get involved in the cons again, but he’s not having it, and their strategy for engaging him is just to hang out in his apartment and loudly crosstalk about how 'gee, we really want to help these poor people, but it’s all so complicated and we just don’t understand it! It sure would be great if there was somebody around who could explain it to us… perhaps in some kind of monologue… alas…'
and Nate buckles in like forty-five seconds. character beat of all time. made even more compelling by the knowledge that that would definitely work on me too
and remember Nate does the same thing in the Second David Job. When they're all bickering Nate just goes 'wow that's a tough security system' and one by one they all give in, and start talking about the security and how to hack it. And Nate is quietly commenting with 'really?' 'Wow' to encourage them
