Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

"Let's go steal us a concert."

Has it been confirmed that there really has been a "Let's steal a...." line in each episode?

Our wings are not tired.

Oh noooes.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

So I'm guessing Parker was expressing her affection for Hardison through violence? That was hysterical.

I gotta say the trunk full o' guns cracked me up.

Not the saxophone?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There isn't, which disappoints me. So close!

They really had me going, until I remembered the ring doc was related to the client. The idea of Eliot with the safety off is a scary sobering one.

I'm guessing Parker had a little left over cash that wouldn't pay for a gun? It's a touch whimsical for her otherwise.

Seriously. And CK sold it big time.

Lord, I wish there was some way that either or both David B. or Julie B. could do guest appearances on this. It would be wicked meta, but fun.

Although, I guess they COULD get Stephanie Romanav as a woman from Eliot's past. Heh.

CK did a really good job this episode. I loved his uncertainty during the first part of the episode when they were hooking the dirty promoter.

BTW, ita - how are you seeing this in EST? Just curious.
