30 Days of Leverage meme - Day 13
Hmmm...I had to really think about this one. I don't recall any Leverage moments that made me cry. I'm kind of a weird person like that, I don't see too many things on TV and end up crying. There are moments where I almost cry sometimes, either when something resonates with something that has caused me personally a lot of distress in my own life, or when a moment is so touching that I am legitimately reminded of how awesome people can be. If Leverage ever did do it, it would've been a very fleeting emotion and those moments don't often stay with me because they are so brief.
I can recall the times where I've been sad at something that's happened in Leverage. Perhaps the most devastating moment for me was at the end of season 1 when the team was forced to split up and go underground.
Over the course of season one five independent-minded criminals learned how to abandon their suspicions and work together as a cohesive team. They really built something wonderful in that year together. To see it all go up in flames like that, both physically with the office explosion, and metaphorically with the splitting of the team, was heart-breaking. It felt kind of like they were burning the evidence of everything they had ever done good with one another. Suffice to say, I was squeeing like the fan girl I often am when they reconvened in the next season. I also gave a silent blessing that I started the series this past summer so I didn't have to wait several torturous months to see that storyline given a happier ending. Ended with season one and rolled right into season two. You don't stop at a cliffhanger like that, it's more than cruel and unusual punishment :P
