elrhiarhodanIt's almost time - we've been waiting for this moment for months! Well, many of us have - and I hope my new flisties who have discovered White Collar during the hiatus will chime in with their thinky and not so thinky thoughts.
This is a place for the free exchange of ideas - what you like, what you don't like, what you think works, and where you see the season going. But this really isn't a place to bash anyone - characters, actors, actresses. You can express a negative opinion - but please be respectful (that's all I ask)!
Now - you may recall, I have already seen this episode - and I've had a week to process my thoughts - so some of my squeeful commentary may seem a little out there. And for that - I do apologize.
We're about 10 minutes to launch...see you on the other side, my lovelies!
Previously on White Collar!
These are not the droids you're looking for - this scene is a masterful bit of misdirection, worthy of Obi-Wan himself. Or Mozzie.
YAY for purple scarf, vest and pocket watch...you are just a gorgeous bit of manhood aren't you, Mr. Caffrey.
Definitely not the airstrip where Kate went BOOM!
Your eyes are most definitely blue, Mr. Caffrey.
Peter - you're not asking the right questions.
Ooohh, Sara - aren't you looking delicious. And Neal - you're getting some finally! And you can't seem to lie to Sara either.
Does the apartment seem any different to you?
And I was completely blown away that it was Mozzie that took the art. Completely.
Neal, oh Neal - you really don't want to run. How can you leave Peter? He loves you so very much.
The Mets? Oh Peter! Let's make a big deal out of it.
Love that smile, Neal. Or should I say Gary Rydell, world-class fencer and smuggler.
Ahhh - the Federal Reserve - I don't think there's actually cash in the FRB.
If you were one step away from pulling the biggest score in your life, could you let it go?
Oh, Mozzie - something DID survive that fire.
And the Burkes had the fastest kitchen renovation in the history of Brooklyn.
And yes, Peter - you do know him better than anyone else.
Neal goes down, and so does Peter.
YAY El!!!!!! She keeps in touch!
Ooohh - Pretty villain !
And Neal fencing. GAHHHHHHHHHH!
That poor tie! Boy is Neal pissed.
And Diana gives him fashion advice! And Neal has a drawer full of ties.
A souvenir of Neal Caffrey's imperfect moment - PRICELESS!
Cindy!!! Welcome back.
Mozzie and the visual aids! Think of it as a Kardashian!!!!!!
El - don't trust Neal!!!!!
Oh, Mrs. Burke - you are so gorgeous! And so is your new kitchen.
You have the habit of doing the wrong thing for the right reason.
And she's so not buying his bullshit.
Neal knows that Peter is protecting him - and himself.
Mozzie's a little too eager to watch over Elizabeth.
That's a very interesting object lesson.
Are you on the same team, Neal?
Oooh - vintage VW!
Oh sweet Elvis Costello.
But I can't believe that Neal's having this conversation with Moz in the Bureau. Silly boy!
So much art that the Nazis would never have stolen - Dali was considered deviant, so was Picasso.
It's not Schlagle - it's Schalge.
Phoebe Cates?
The Umbrella Scene - definitely a page from the greats!
And that's the same delivery company from Bad Judgment.
Okay - this is a little over the top (snort)
Hmmm - Neal - you sneaky bastard.
And why are you painting with your clothes on? We need nipples.
Oh Neal, you should be so conflicted. And Mozzie - you too - you are such a sneaky bastard - you are going to so regret this.
And again with the ID? "Goodbye, Caffrey." NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Neat trick with the money.
Oh NOES! Agent Jones - you are in danger!
Neal you get in front of that gun - you protect Clinton.
Yes Neal, you do have a plane!
No Suits on the Island!!!!!!!! Best line of the Episode!
I told you this was an epic misdirection, my friends!
Jones - you are a hell of a lot faster with the cuffs than Peter!
Sorry - Amelia! You would look good in aubergine.
Oh, Peter - you are not really going to believe that bit of evidence? Are you feeling bad, Peter? You shouldn't.
Neal - you lying, sneaky bastard.
No Peter, you didn't rush to judgment.
Peter - you shouldn't smile. Good - don't trust him
Patience is definitely your best asset - except if it's sold underground.
What - nothing for next week? WTF????????
Okay, folks - let's have your thoughts!!! Thinky and not so thinky!

Date: 2011-06-08 10:15 pm (UTC)One of the writers (Jim Campolongo) actually responded. The original tweet was about ignoring families of murdered Holocaust victims for plot reasons.
CampJim: Sorry you were disappointed, but the sub art is from museums, not individuals. The list Diana found at the end implies as much.
The reply to this noted that there was jewelry there too, not just art, and that there's lots of provenance available for Nazi plunder, and thanked Jim for replying.
CampJim: Sure thing. also, rest assured, the origin of the treasure will be addressed later in the season.
Make of it what you will, but given a lot of the episode discussion, I thought it was worth sharing.

Date: 2011-06-08 10:26 pm (UTC)Adding to the above, the original tweeter (is that a word?) followed up with concern about Neal and Mozzie not even thinking about where the treasure came from (even if the answer is a museum).
CampJim:just remember where the music box came from is all we're saying. again, all will be revealed.
What am I forgetting about the music box plotline that I need to know?
ETA: Thank you to a wonderful friend for gifting me with a paid account. Look at me, editing my comment! Seriously, though, thanks so much.

Date: 2011-06-08 11:04 pm (UTC)If you want a custom layout, I'll be happy to make one for you. I did Rabidchild's and Coffeethyme4me, and a bunch of different comms. It doesn't take long - just give me an idea of a picture that you'd want to use.
