elrhiarhodanI am almost completely unspoiled for this ep. Something to do with Russians and ice skating??? Will we get to see Neal in lycra? Or better, Peter in lycra? Or maybe Moz (not in lycra) is making counterfeit vodka? (Yes, yes, I know that good vodka comes from everyplace BUT Russia). Or maybe this episode will bring my SPQR'verse back to life.
Anyways...after four seasons of Dishing, you all know the drill! Play nice and remember ... .
Welcome back, Rebecca, and talk of cutting all the strings.
Oooh, Neal in a white shirt, on a beach. Lovely.
Speaking Russian! I guess that's one of his nine language.
Neal in cuffs, lovely! And Neal is still in cuffs in the back of the car. Or maybe not!
Dom!Peter is delicious.
Doris Day parking??? He's a fan? Huh? Don't get the reference. And Peter is MY age.
Moz is working on the codex - and what?
Peter does the talking. A routine visit??
Peter at ten...sweet. Kidfic anyone?
And yet, Neal does the talking! Neal McCullogh and Peter Nebbins… The Alias Savant strikes again!
Help them harness their own natural talents…
Love how Peter falls into character.
And then not…
No time for Peter to pay dressup.
Agent Goirzner...why do I think that Mozzie is going to don a badge and a Suit? And I'm right. Moz looks pretty good in a suit - a certain sartorial flair.
And Peter's pulling a Neal - becoming an expert figure skating coach. But I love that El and Peter's second date was ice skating - and she can't skate.
June!!!!!!!!! So good to see you, and you're looking so good!
Hughes had a retirement party… Peter did three whole shots! (I'm glad they keep mentioning Hughes...maybe he'll be back?)
Peter having to eat his favorite food… Cavier and pickled mushrooms.
Rutroh!
Hmmm, why keep pulling the con on Rebecca? I have the feeling she'd help out, just because.
Peter looks like he's feeling no pain…
I don't like the silliness with Moz and June...it feels all so unnecessary. I thought we were supposed to be done with the silliness and slapstick comedy routines. Enough already!
Love drunk Peter…"Are you inebriated?" Yes, clearly you are! And tossing Neal the keys again
But clearly you're NOT! Smart peter is smart.
A stack of ASAC files, the size of an oddly shaped files.
El's not happy. She's worried about Peter.
"We good?" She doesn't answer. Interesting. As![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
miri_thompson commented to me, "I saw as a very realistic and genuine bit of conflict between Peter and El--when she expressed how upset she was that his promotion didn't keep him behind a desk and out of fieldwork ."
(Okay - I forgot that Katya knows that Peter is an FBI agent. That's how Peter can make this work.)
Love how freaked out Neal was by the gun.
And of course Peter is a star hockey player. Why not? In White Collar land, there's nothing that Peter or Neal can't do. But Peter does look with a big stick in his hand. *snerk*
And another Rutroh! He almost walked into the guy they snagged in the opening scene...yikes.
Peter never misses… It's canon!
NEAL IN VEST!!!!! Okay, not as great as Neal in the butler's uniform from last week, but still HOT.
I don't like how they are so willing to put a civilian in the line of fire.
Sammy Jordache? Why does that name sound familiar? Maybe too much bad 1980's fashion?
And Jones to the rescue!
And Katya rescues herself - nice! Have to say that they've definitely upped the violence quota this season - that takedown was messy and kind of scary. Peter's pulled his gun in the last three episodes - has that happened before, and not just in the "FBI Freeze" kind of way?
So jones and Peter were able to trace Neal to the chiropractor's office, in midtown manhattan. I love the fantasy geography of the Five Boroughs. A cab from Brighton Beach, Brooklyn to Midtown - that's like a 90-minute trip. Neal should have taken the subway. About a 25 minute train ride. Hmmmm.
Not your type, doesn't want to rob, arrest or charge you with insurance fraud. HAH! But good advice, Moz - keep you're heart off your sleeve. I don't think Neal is listening, though.
Peter sees all! He knows that something's up.
Ahhh - the memorial wall. Peter looks like he's about to cry.
Awww - Neal is falling for Rebecca and she's a (fellow) felon! He's so falling in love. And you know what, I am, too. She's sweet but not cloying - she knows she's out of her depth with Neal, but Neal's falling hard and fast and I think he's going to end up in worse shape that he was after Kate. Mark this thought.
And apparently Mosconi suffered from triskadekaphobia? No chapter 13 anywhere? So what did Hagen have Neal steal?
Awww, Peter's teaching El to skate. It smells like our second date? Huh? But anyway, a sweet and romantic ending.
I think I missed a lot - both in the Ep and on the Dish (trying to watch and type at the same time is hard, I'm not such a good multitasker as Peter) ...forgive me?
Anyway, I'd give this a solid B … the main story was kind of meh, but the side stories were good (except for the slapstick with June and Moz).
Okay, Collars - what do you have to say? Share your thoughts, thinky and not-so-thinky.
