this was a very well done episode. loved how they used everyone as characters in the past. not a typical episode of this show, but it was well done.

I liked it in spite of Danny Glover... who, to me, does for TV what "featuring Kayne West" does for music.

too much autotune?

I like seeing Parker and Hardison together, so really liked the flashback stuff.

I liked it, but haven't Parker and Hardison been officially together for a while now?
This episode would've fit better near the end of last season.
(those two do have great chemistry together, though)

Parker and Hardison still aren't "together" per se. They're both still skittering around the issue.

While it would never become a focal point of the show, I'd think if they actually were together, there would be at least a more definitive statement of it and then move on from it.

Started, but haven't finished this ep yet.

I think they are officially together. A ep or two back Parker said something like "are you sure you want to do this?" and Hardison was like "Hells yes!" it was kind of vague but I assumed it was referring to them becoming an item.

Finished it. Not my cup of tea. I missed the cons.

Also, these guys play different characters nearly every week as part of their cons, so doing a kind of alternate reality episode isn't nearly as fun as when other shows do it.

I enjoyed the episode. It's nice to do something different every once in awhile because you need a break from hearing Nate say "let's steal a whatever."

So with every crook in town looking for the missing Van Gogh they're going to leave the painting with an 88 y.o. man in the hospital without an armed guard. Yeah that's believable.

Once he made the decision to donate the painting to a museum the museum would have sent guards to protect the painting.

I thought that, too, but I think what they were trying to show was that everyone figured Nate and his crew had it now and they'd be long gone from town.
