Leverage

How wrong is it to be totally in love with a show that hasn't even aired yet?

The pilot for Leverage was leaked onto the internet a while ago and the evil [livejournal.com profile] tyrell and the very evil [livejournal.com profile] halcyon_shift lured me into watching it.

Damn I'm hooked but good.

Seriously, if someone sat down with me and asked me for a list of things wot make me love a show and then went away and wrote Leverage, I doubt it could do better at ticking all the check boxes. Snark and action? Check. One character is a thief? Check. Eye candy for both sexes? Check. Good guys acting like bad guys to buck the system? Check. Did I mention snark? CHECK!

It airs in December and I can't flipping well wait. I've spent all afternoon reading the showrunner's blog, which has some fascinating entries about how TV shows actually get written. And when that didn't satisfy me, I squeaked at [livejournal.com profile] halcyon_shift until she gave into the temptation to write Leverage fic. Based on one episode. That hasn't officially aired yet.

I maaay have a new obsession :P

Joooooooooooooooooooin me! :)

And in other tv news, what did you think of Numb3rs this week? (Magic Man). I think I gave it a "meh" plus one bonus point for having Penn Jillette in it.
