Still completely unable to shut up about White Collar
This showwww~!
I don't think I've hit a bad episode yet. Even the ones that were kind of slow or didn't hold together that well had enough cute character moments to make them well worth watching.
And the characters ...! I've even fallen pretty hard for Mozzie now. I've now seen the episode in which Peter meets him for the first time and HEEEEE~! ("I thought you'd be taller." "Me too.") And getting drunk together ... OH SHOW. ♥
Actually, last Tuesday's episode (3x04) has made me take an interested second look at Peter and Mozzie's ... whatever it is, not friendship exactly, but not really animosity either. What really intrigues me about them is that, unlike Peter and Neal, they're always going to be on opposite sides and the complete antithesis of everything that either one of them would look for in a friend ... but underneath massive amounts of reciprocal irritation, they genuinely seem to like each other.
The whole show is full of these intriguing, complicated relationships -- I think right now I enjoy watching the characters in nearly every combination. Peter and Neal are made of awesome, naturally. But then there's Peter/Elizabeth, who I think have surpassed Wash/Zoe as my favorite TV married couple of all time, and pretty much all of Neal's friendships are fascinating (Neal and Elizabeth, Neal and Diana -- SO MUCH LOVE for the episode where they're in the hotel room together! -- Neal and June, Neal and Mozzie) and then there are oddball combinations like Mozzie and Elizabeth, or Mozzie and Peter. Or Peter and his FBI team.
SO MUCH LOVE FOR THEM.
And so many neat moments. Elizabeth helping her husband flirt, Neal using his anklet monitor to send a coded SOS, Peter's badass ninja moves ... I love how the characters are smart and capable and confident, how they use their wits and skills to stay one step ahead of not only the bad guys, but also each other. I love how so many of the characters (not just Neal and Peter, but nearly everybody in the cast) will be conspiring against each other one minute, and, five minutes later, colluding together on a scheme. I love how Neal so rarely actually lies, how he cleverly misdirects so that he's technically telling the truth while not answering the question that was asked. I love the way that Peter gives Neal a stable center for his life, and Neal brings out Peter's playful little-kid side.
And to think I'd given up on this show after the first couple of episodes. Where was my head at?
ETA: Am now watching 2x05 and aslkdfjdslka;fdlska;ds NEAL IN LEATHER JACKET. *falls over*
