1- What's your favorite season?
2- What's your favorite episode?
3- What's your favorite scene?
4- How about your favorite dialogue/line?
5- Who's your favorite character and/or pairing?
6- What made that show so special to you?
7- What will you keep forever in your heart?
8- If you’re an artist or a writer, what inspired – and still inspires – you to create something?
9- What's your head canon for the future of the characters?
10- What now?
11- Have you found your next White Collar yet?
12- Have you experienced the loss of a TV show like that before?
13- Anything else to add?
1- What's your favorite season?
Season One and Two, but probably One more than Two.
2- What's your favorite episode?
Other than Pilot, probably Need to Know, followed by Hard Sell (if just for the scene where Neal's getting all toppy on Peter).
3- What's your favorite scene?
The scene in Hard Sell where Neal gets all toppy on Peter – "Just because I don't like guns doesn't mean I don't know how to use one."
4- How about your favorite dialogue/line?
Mozzie, at the airport in "Front Man" – "Shut your hole and kiss wood, Riley! Yeah, we know who you really are!
I just said that to guy who enjoys killing people with his bare hands."
5- Who's your favorite character and/or pairing?
Neal, and the Neal-Peter relationship, closely followed by Mozzie and the Mozzie-Peter relationship.
6- What made that show so special to you?
The characters and their chemistry together. None of the stories were terribly compelling without the characters that made them so special.
7- What will you keep forever in your heart?
Everything. Yes, there were parts of the storyline I don't like, but there was nothing I truly hated. Everything is useful. But what I will hold closest is the relationship between Peter and Neal and the love and respect they had for each other.
8- If you’re an artist or a writer, what inspired – and still inspires – you to create something?
The characters, the city (MY city, New York), the love between everyone, even when the circumstances were strained to almost breaking.
9- What's your head canon for the future of the characters?
Neal and Peter are reunited and Neal finally meets his namesake.
10- What now?
I just keep on writing, telling all the stories that are screaming to be told.
11- Have you found your next White Collar yet?
No, and I don't expect I ever will.
12- Have you experienced the loss of a TV show like that before?
Yes. I was a huge fan of Farscape, although I knew nothing about fandom. My heart was broken when it was cancelled and even the followup movie never fully healed that hole in my heart. In 2002, I gave up on Sci-Fi (SyFy now) and refused to watch another show on that network. I've done the same with USA. They are DEAD TO ME.
13- Anything else to add?
I just hope my fandom survives. It's too important to me and I'll do everything I have to to keep it alive.
Of course, if you want to play, here's the code:

Date: 2015-07-23 07:12 pm (UTC)It's one of the reasons I almost never start watching a new show until it's well into the second season. I feel like I've been burned in the past by tv networks who get us all excited, only to cancel a show before it's really hit its creative stride.
And with so many opportunities to watch online, I feel like the networks can afford to back off a bit on their overly-strident dedication to live ratings. Just because a show isn't being watched live doesn't mean it isn't being watched, especially if the scheduling gods have completely lost their minds and scheduled their show opposite another show that still has a devoted fanbase (that I happen to belong to, in many cases).
Okay, rant over.

Date: 2015-07-24 03:37 am (UTC)Hard Sell is still my favorite episode. I loved the sets, the costumes (Peter in the shooting Jacket - swoon...), the dialogue. the really superficial look at penny stocks and boiler rooms - even the ridiculous room of faux comics. And I could watch Matt Bomer stride across the trading floor on endless loop. :D
