Trivia
Eliot's line after the gunfight, "I don't [like guns]. Never said I couldn't use 'em.", is awfully close to Tom Selleck's line, as Matthew Quigley, in 1990's Quigley Down Under (1990): "I said I never had much use for [a pistol]. Never said I didn't know how to use it."

Goofs
Hardison tells Elliot that he survived an extra 30 seconds, in the pool, by sucking air from the chair's pneumatic lift. Apart from the fact that the chair was still intact and Hardison was probably lying anyway, the pneumatic cylinder only contains high pressure nitrogen with no breathable oxygen. Even if he had taken a breath from it, the pressure would have blown his lungs out.

Quotes
Nathan Ford: Let's go steal the Department of Defence.
Parker: Isn't that treason?
Nathan Ford: We'll give it back.

I'm with painteddaughter...the series has gone downhill & this show is ridiculous

In the beginning...Leverage was a great example of "organized chaos" (to "steal a phrase" from Rex Ryan, one of the more original defensive coordinators in the NFL). The plots were fresh and zany and...INTERESTING. Clearly, they've run out of ideas, and out of steam.

And while painteddaughter was generous to rate this show 5 stars out of 10, and called it cheesy, I'm rating it ONE star out of 10, and calling is garbage. The big "gun fight scene" was laughable, along with the never-ending unrealistic miracle "saves" that have become the staple of all of the plots. This series used to have heart, creativity, and intelligence. Now, it's little more than a human non-animated cartoon show. Meep-Meep.
