...Did it work? No? Drat.

Really, though, why not? This is a good show, people! It's kind of stupid sometimes, but that's okay. Think of all the fun toys we get to play with: Sophie, Parker, Hardison, Eliot, in fact, pretty much everyone except Nate, who's a bit tiresome with his epic angst but sort of essential when it comes to plot, so, damn, we're kind of stuck with him. Whatever. Less Nate-centric episodes, that's the spot - we've had approximately eleventy-bajillion since the first episode, compared to everyone else's two, except for poor Hardison, whom to my recollection got one, as it could be argued that The Mile High Job was centered around him. This is obviously a grievous error, as he is made of nothing but pure and unrefined awesome. Age of the geek, baby. *sighs dreamily* And Parker. Parker is also awesome. They make such an adorable fake FBI team.

Also, fandom, I demand girl!Eliot. Just so you know.

I really like "An Exercise in Friendship" in all its gen qualities (also whatever Maggie and Nate and Sophie are working out in the background... I've thought for some time that'd be an awesome OT3). Sophie and Parker's relationship as depicted there reminds me of a relationship I've had with someone, especially the part about napping at the end. I love Parker and Sophie's observations about others and themselves, too.

...also whatever Maggie and Nate and Sophie are working out in the background... I've thought for some time that'd be an awesome OT3... I'd never thought of it before, but TOTALLY AGREED. What is it with this fandom and OT3s? Usually there's one, maybe two, but this one grows them like my neighbor's arrest record!

Zvi does write them unusually introspective, yes. That's the problem I think I'd have writing in this fandom - with the exception of Nate and Sophie, the characters don't slow down very much, and their worlds are made of absolutes - while you could argue that the whole Robin Hood thing was for them an exercise in changing moral geographies, all of them are so set in their opinions that 90% of the time, it's not the world challenging those beliefs, but the characters challenging the world. Like, they already know which actions are right/wrong, and the only question is how they are going to go about taking those actions. Sophie would be an interesting character to write, though, especially Zvi's Sophie.

But yeah. Napping = sweet. Right on cue, aw.
