Leverage S3E3: "The Inside Job"

[cdybedahl]

 I was watching the Leverage episode "The Inside Job" just now. It's the episode where Parker's thief mentor Archie Leach shows up, and we get to see a training scene from when she was a kid. A scene where she tumbles acrobatically through a room full of laser beams. Which reminded me of a similar scene in another show, which led to a thought: Parker is Kim Possible gone horribly, horribly wrong. I mean, think about it. When did Parker actually fail at something? Never, that's when. So, pretty much, she can do anything.

Sounds plausible - though there's a long history of female thief archetypes going back well before the invention of Kim Possible, see e.g. Modesty Blaise and Amanda from Highlander.

Certainly, I just don't remember either of those having a "flipping through laser beams" scene.
