Tivo is showing these as episode 2 and 5. Wonder why they didnt show them in order.

The plots are self contained so I don't see airing them out of order being a big deal. But, once it gets to the middle/back half of the season with the central arc of Nate and the team trying to bring down the crime boss, then I think they will air in order as produced.

I lost it when Hardison said his dog's name is MegaBite (Megabyte).

So when does Parker get the spin-off where she's a Pilates teacher?

I'd settle for her taking over for Denise Austin, too.

The first episode was good. The second one, not so much.

Only saw the 1st episode.

It was pretty good. Liked Chamberlain as the veteran thief. Parker's acrobatics are amazing.

Beth Riesgraf just has an amazing body. I liked Sophie just bulshitting with that Wheat Executive with no paperwork in front of her.

This is just a really good, fun show. Kinda like Burn Notice or Psych.

Was the dictator's brother from The Scheherazade Job Giancarlo Esposito (Gus From Breaking Bad). There's no credit on IMDB yet.

Liked the the 1st episode. Was fun. Hardison is by far, the best character on this show. He has all the best lines.

I'd like to see them make fun of Hardison working at Taco Bell over the summer before the team got back together.

Saw the last 10 minutes or so of the 1st episode and the entire 2nd episode. The last scene with Parker and Chamberlain was pretty good. 2nd episode was entertaining and featured Oakland Raiders Pro Bowl CB Nnamdi Assomugha in a supporting role.

I'd forgotten how much I liked this show. I'll be tuning in during the 4th marathon. They still film in Portland which is pretty cool.

Just saw episode 2 tonight.

Really fun episode. Enjoyed the Con involving Giancarlo Esposito as the over the top African dictator.

Thought it was funny seeing Hardison pretending to be a naive violin prodigy. It was even funnier when the team was so moved by his violin solo that they forgot about the clock during the break-in.

Wanted to also say that Elisabetta Canalis (George Clooney's girlfriend) who plays that mystery woman that Nate is dealing with is a horrible actress. Absolutely no presence and IMO not even close to being sexy...Monica Bellucci and Maria Grazia Cucinotta blow her away.

My DVR cut off during the final segment after Nate revealed that he hypnotized Hardison and he got all pissy and walked away. Did anything else happen?

And THAT character is probably why showing them out of order sucks. I just got over the fact that I even knew who the hell she was, but now I guess we'll see her introduction in an episode aired later. Grrr.

Both of my episodes cut off early, but since I was recording two, the first just ran over into the second. I am going to pad my recordings from here on out because once they stop showing two in a row, I will be missing the end of every episode. (DJariya - Since you start these threads, can you remind people that they may want to pad as well in the next one? Thanks!)

Are we talking about the chick who's blackmailing the team into taking down some uber-baddie and was introduced in the season premiere?

Yes, she was introduced introduced in the premiere.

Guess I will have to visit TNT's web site to see the last 30 or so seconds.

Yup, I will remember to pad an extra minute next time around.
