As anyone who has been somewhat following "Leverage" knows, the last couple weeks was the show's season 1 finale. The episode, dealt with what was definitely the Leverage team's biggest heist yet. They had to steal, and re-steal famous pieces of art multiple times.
What was interesting about this 2-part finale was the fact that it gave a lot more background information on Nate (the leader of the team/Timothy Hutton's character). This whole heist was primarily done for revenge on what someone did to his son many years back. We also meet Nate's ex-wife, a very likable character once she figures out what's really going on, and perhaps (I'm hoping) a new permanent member of the Leverage team next season.
One new thing I noticed about this episode was that during the commercials they said that the particular episode was sponsored by not only it's usual (the Hyundai Genesis and HP computer) but also by Bertolli Pasta Dishes. Since usually these sponsors are featured in the episode as product placement as well, I was constantly looking for pasta to make an appearance. However, regrettably such did not happen.
Other than that I didn't notice much difference in the advertising compared to previous episodes. They did however announce that they are moving their newish show "Trust me" (the one about the two friends running an advertising company) to "Leverage's" time slot since "Leverage" is no longer in season.
As far as Leverage's season went, I feel it was pretty solid all the way through. there were a few "dud" episodes, but I generally found most of them enjoyable. It looks as if they have already started filming for the show's next season, however the new episodes will not air until sometime this summer.
