White Collar Post Ep Dish - 3.07 - Taking Account
And we are just one episode shy of the half-way point for the entire third season. Time DOES fly, doesn't it?
Starting this week, I am going to do the Dish a little differently. Rather than post a series of random squees, which are not really useful, I'm going to try to write something a little more cogent about what I liked, what I didn't like, what worked, what didn't work and where I think the story is going.
I also need to make an announcement. I am firmly in Camp Sara. I like the character, I like how she has progressed from antagonist to compatriot. I don't know if I completely buy the Neal/Sara chemistry, but they are sexy people doing sexy things together, which makes me happy. Hell, yeah - I'd rather Neal was doing sexy things with Peter and Elizabeth, but I can't have everything.
That being said, criticism of the character's actions or non-actions is always welcome, but if you want to tell me how much you hate Sara Ellis, you don't find her at all interesting/attractive/intelligent and that she contributes nothing to the show, please just don't. There are many other fans who feel as you do and welcome such contributions. I don't want to be made to feel I have to defend my preferences on my own journal.
And here we go...see you on the other side.
What I Love:
Porn, really? Moz panicking is adorable, so is jealous Moz, and Moz on the verge of giving the whole treasure secret away.
I do like that Sara doesn't hesitate to call him on the passports - but she calls them excellent forgeries? I thought they were supposed to be the real deal, with farmed identities.
Having the old main title back is a pleasure. No more soap opera music!
Mozzie just grabbing the first thing handy - the Watergate transcript. And then grabbing the candy, Yes, Mr. Havisham, you are adorable. Evil, but adorable.
I love that Peter called Neal and Sara on their shopping spree.
The Vulture is a woman - and Moz is instantly infatuated.
Sali = Salieri / Mozzie = Mozart - is Moz going to get lucky, finally? Yes he did! I do like that pairing. Maybe she gives Moz a reason to stay. (And apparently not).
What I don't like:
Neal is lying to Sara - and saying that Peter wouldn't be surprised that he has the passports. This breaks my heart.
I don't like how he's trying to tempt Sara - to bring her along. Yes, it was romantic, but it is just wrong.
What Works:
The pinstriped suit and slicked back hair. Yes - I like that look on Neal. Dunno why, it should be sleazy, but it isn't.
I love that El has Mozzie on speed dial. And that they chat regularly.
What Doesn't Work:
The way Mozzie gets in touch with The Vulture - seems a little too pat.
Peter's "Neal in Prison" joke. Sorry - it just doesn't work for me.
I don't like that Neal called Mozzie and Sali misfits
And I don't know how I feel about Sara finding out. I really don't.
As always, respectful thinky and not so thinky thoughts are most welcome. Have at it, folks!
