Without reading any comment I want to say that I'm really annoyed about the anklet-thing. The very best scenes in season one and two were for me those scenes in which Peter threatens Neal to go back to jail if he does something stupid or if a case won't be solved with his help. And the best scenes were when Neal got a red light on his anklet and had to step back so he was again inside his radius. When did Neal become a "normal" citizen who can go wherever he wants? The fun of Neal's parole-rules is deminished and that I don't like.
I was bored by the case of the week, though I enjoyed some scenes but all in all it was nothing more than a filler. The best scenes were thoses of the hunt for the right building the key is supposed to fit. Neal was adoreable sitting in Mozzie's cab complaining over the taxameter and the dialogue was great as always but this ep didn't do it for me.
They all did their job well and Tim directed it great, although I don't see the excitement in that, because what is so special about who is directing an ep? If I was the director of that ep my first complain would have been: There is no smoking in clubs anymore! And as you said, Elr, there was so much off in that ep, it really is important not to think about it, or I would be really sad about what the show has become in this fourth season.
Don't get me wrong, I still love this show - dearly - but there really is a reason I re-watch season one and two so often! Please show go back to that light humor, charm and cases that involve fun and funny shenanigans. Sometimes I wish some kind of music box back!
That said, I'm looking forward to the last three eps, but maybe only to wrap this season up and looking forward to season five and hoping that Jeff Eastin takes a little more care of his baby. Maybe he is too much sidetracked with his new show. I really was afraid of that when I heard about "Graceland" being picked up. I really miss his writing.
What I want back as well, is cases Neal and Peter do their magic alone, like they did in so many cases in season one and two. It is too much, when the whole team and Mozzie and El are on the screen. It was okay when El was in the scene with the whiskey testing in 4x11, but she doesn't have to be in every case now. That annoys even me, although I'm fond of El.
Peter and Neal on the case, and Jones and Diana in the van, that was always fun and the bromance was deep but right now I'm not feeling any bromance and this has nothing to do with the story around the key or Neal having to lie to Peter. I'm missing scenes like in 2x01 and in 3x04 (only to mention two) when Peter and Neal do something totally awesome and funny to get to the criminal.
Show get back on track or we won't have you around either for a full fifth season or a sixth season.
That's my opinion and I'm sorry if I see it a little dark right now.
