Leverage audio commentaries

katikatYou know what I love about the audio commentaries? How aware TPTB are of their fans' reactions. Like, in The 12-Step Job? The scene where Hardison pretended that he and Eliot were boyfriends? The writer knew that it was a fan-favorite scene. Or when Parker jumped-hugged Eliot? A scene that spouted dozens of fics pairing up Parker and Eliot. It's actually kinda cute.
Though it gets a bit annoying how they keep repeating that they are filming the episodes on a 7-days-basis, like it's a huge accomplishment of some sorts. I mean, it's awesome, don't get me wrong, but it's a team show where you can split five people and film separately. Supernatural, IIRC, is filmed on an 8-days-basis - with only two leads who are in almost every scene. I mean, compared to that...
But I love how TPTB loves the scenes with Aldis Hodge and Christian Kane. I loved the bit where they said that those two were friends in RL so it was easy to film their bickering and that Christian actually taught Aldis how to mock-fight.
And the huge fight between Eliot and the baddie in The First David Job? That guy's one of Christian Kane's best friends, when they were kids they already planned these huge fights in Christian's home's basement, that's why Christian rec'ed this guy for that role. Is it just me or is every other person "one of Christian Kane's best friends"? ;P

I mean, they make no secret of the fact that they are pairing up Nate and Sophie on the one side and Hardison and Parker on the other which results in Eliot being slightly marginalized when it comes to character development.
