Leverage -- Season Premiere -- "The (Very) Big Bird Job" -- 7/15/12

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
Season 5 opens with the scheme team taking flight to take down an arrogantly greedy shipping CEO whose draconian cost-cutting measures result in a plane crash.


15 episodes for season 5


Yeah I know Breaking Bad is going to be the most talked about show tonight and this probably won't get watched right away.

Can't wait!

I watched one of the early episodes and wasn't really interested. My brother convinced me to catch up on the show a few months ago, and now I love it. Parker is awesome.

yeah, that Adam Baldwin cameo was totally out of left field. Hopefully we get to see more of it. Cary Elwes did a great job. I like that they bought a brewery.

Looks like Tim lost a little weight.
His face looked thinner then in past seasons.

I really liked Season 1, but one thing: Have they talked about how Hardison does pretty much all the research, and addressed how he could probably plan something without Ford?

Yep there's been at least one (but I think two) episodes where Hardison takes the lead. There were some interesting results.

Loved it.

Fantastic opening episode. Very fun caper of the week. Loved the little recap of Parker and Hardison's vacation.

at the Adam Baldwin cameo. That was so awesome and so out of nowhere. I hope he makes a return later in the season.

A little trivia for all of you. Season 5 is apparently taking place in Portland. FYI, the show has been shot in Portland since season 2 and they have been using sets/green screen to fake Boston.

Cary Elwes was an awesome and over the top villain, which suited him perfectly. at the flight simulator faking the take off and crash of the Spruce Goose. Hardison is the man.

I'm not sure I understood the last scene with Nate and Hardison. It looked to me that Nate was preparing for some kind of end game. Could it be related to the FBI and all those agencies monitoring the team's activities?

Adam Baldwin will be coming back in the second half of the season as a recurring nemesis of some kind.

DJariya, interviews about the season have stated Nate has a specific reason the team's in Portland which we'll find out over the course of the season.

I watched the episode on demand and totally missed the Adam Baldwin cameo. At what point did it actually happen?

Also, it is just me or ir Cary Elwes starting to get typecast as a dapper villain? He's here wearing a fedora as a Howard Hughes and has made three appearanches as a cat burglar on the TV show Psych. They have him play a formidable nemesis to Shawn, but also one who doesn't commit murder.

He was planting C4 on that Iranian missile with Eliot.
