Leverage finale

[sienamystic]

So obviously, right this very second, somebody is writing an incredible alterna-team story with Sterling, Maggie, Quinn, Chaos, and Archie all being badass, right? RIGHT?

What a great finale. Lots of continuity, juicy character moments, a fast-moving plot (two points for bivalve deployment) and a genuinely sweet Nate and Sophie moment at the end of it all. Sometimes they write Sophie as the Good Nagging Woman to Nate's Wayward Male, but I think they hit just the right notes tonight.

I actually had a weird pop culture moment and watched some of the Golden Globes tonight. Strange, I usually don't bother. But I wanted to see the dresses.

Also, I'm continuing to work through the stack of books from the giant haul from the library book sale ages ago - I'm currently reading a Laurie King book that apparently features both Kate Martinelli and Mary Russell? I'm not sure, have only gotten through the first parts of the book, and it's all Martinelli at this point.

I only started reading Mary Russell because LRK wasn't writing any more Kate Martinelli and that book annoyed me in the way Martinelli, who started out quoting Sayers, has managed not to have heard of Sherlock Holmes. If it was an attempt to get more readers crossing over from one to the other, I don't think it worked.

I'd been told that her Martinelli books were pretty decent but I think the premise is one that usually fails and usually is, like you said, a way to smoosh her two fandoms together. I'll see if I can dig up one of her earlier books. I enjoyed the Mary Russell books, but not to any great extent.
