trillianastraSo, in this episode, no-one does what they normally do. Sophie's trying to be Nate, Parker's being Sophie, Nate and Hardison are undercover and Eliot's doing the computer stuff (with added snark of course).
It... doesn't all go well. This is down to the fact that Sophie... has a niche, and is brilliant when she sticks to it. But being Nate is not her niche, y'know?
The others were awesome though. Parker managed to act convincingly (and it's ADORABLE that she can't steal badly), and Eliot was menacing just by walking around a bit, Nate got to dress up again (I love the voices he puts on. HEE), and was somewhat attractive tbh. And Hardison... DUDE. I kinda want to see more of Afro!Hardison. Or Conspiracy!Guy!Hardison. Er... (and, seriously, he actually is getting hotter by the episode, guys. For serious.)
And then there's the CON, which involved no money for once... instead, it's to bring about the downfall of a famous, arrogant, selfserving bitch through the tried and tested methods of misinformation, ridicule and a fake psychotic break. And oh gods, it was glorious to watch (that makes me weird, doesn't it?).
Other Stuff:
Parker and the conspiracies... *happysigh* Love it. Just so... Parker.
Sophie... needs someone to tell her to wake up. What she's searching for (stability, love, friendship, etc.) is right there in front of her, and goes by the name "Nate". So if she could maybe realise that, I would become VERY happy.
In a related note, BBC News just mentioned a lawsuit in the US where Abercrombie & Fitch were cleared of discriminating against a disabled employee. I swear, my first thought was "Ah, just get Nate and the team on it, they'll sort 'em out." Just further proof that TV really has taken over my life.
