After watching nearly five complete seasons of a TV series you’re fond of you sometimes take it for granted. For me Leverage is one of those series I watch and enjoy and don’t think a lot about. Then you focus on two hours of mid-season finale episodes that really blow you away and you want to watch the season all over again. Just one year ago I raved here at borg.com about the fourth season’s mid-season finale for Leverage, highlighting director Jonathan Frakes’s role in directing some key episodes. I re-watched that episode, “The Queen’s Gambit Job,” and I’d say the same things on re-viewing the episode as I said last year. The chemistry of the Mastermind, Grifter, Hacker, Hitter and Thief was completely stirring a potion of fun TV, and Mark Shepard’s on and off again villain Jim Sterling was cemented as possibly the ubiquitous actor’s best recurring role.
