katikatThe less said about 111, the better. Nate was a drunk dick, Sophie was a whiny nag. I ffwded through all their scenes and watched only Eliot, Parker and Hardison who were glorious, of course - like in the last scene. At least Aldis Hodge got to really spread his acting wings in this one.
112 and 113... everything up to the last con? Eh. How could Sophie do that? Her con soured the character even more for me. As Nate told her, you don't con your own team. Like, really? Really, Sophie? But the last con, the one that rested on Sterling being a "self-serving, utter bastard" was glorious!
Speaking of Sterling, Mark A. Sheppard? A revelation, really. He's simply perfect, in all his roles. His Sterling is the perfect foil for Nate and his team, smart enough to be a danger to them but not really... vindictive. He just wants to win. Though you could see that he hated their - his and Nate's - old boss too, his expression when the old guy made fun of Nate's loss... Yeah.
And I'm done with S1!
