I likey! White Collar.

But maybe one thing I’m not liking is the way I’m forcing myself to like Sara Ellis. And *sneer* to all the people out there, I’m a Peter Burke fan, like a crazy one, so there’s something wrong here, and it’s not the crazy assumption of ‘u izz jealous of her!’ and stuff like that – I’d be hating on Elizabeth if I was jealous of anyone in this cast, but I’m not even able to act like I am, since she’s so wonderful. Neal can have whoever he wants. Maybe Sara reminds me of someone perky in my class. Personal issues. Feel free to judge me. :D

PETER KNOWS WHAT HE’S UP TO, I know it. I KNOW IT. He’s too friggin smart not to, and the way he talks and looks at him I KNOW EEEEEET.

So Sara found out. Hmm.

(Thanks for the gif!)

Is it okay if I say the cliff hangers are resolved too quickly in White Collar, even though they’ve said something about not immediately coming to a conclusion? I feel like the two season 1 breaks were played out perfectly, and Hard Sell and Withdrawal are among my fav TV episodes ever (EVER).

But after Point Blank, we never got to see 1) Peter confronting Neal about how he forged a case file. I felt it made Peter look dumb for a while there. So I had problems with that episode. 2) After such a long hiatus, Mozzie recovered pretty fast. :D Not that I’m complaining, but after the cliff hanger was him falling on the park bench, wasn’t it too fast?

Now the passport. Felt he resolved it too quickly by the lie. Oh well. 

*sigh* But how much ever I try, I can't stop smiling when Peter and Mozzie are in a scene together. EEEE!!! :D 

Peter lets out a breath. I grin. He put his arms in front of him and leans on the table. Mozzie's across from him.

"Tell me who he is, and I will hear him out."

Mozzie: How should I know who he is?

Peter: *facepalm*

I have a fic rec. These are cute and very innovative! I'm impressed! 

Board games - vesperwhisper. :D :D :D Come on - if the FBI and the conmen all play games together... !!! Worth checking out!

Veiled Threat and what it did to my head - White Collar.

As if I already didn’t love Peter Burke. This episode made me DIZZY. *sways* SO much of guh-ness.

And for the record, Sara Ellis has officially grown on me. Yeah. Guess I just can’t hate a person my whole life. She’s good for Neal, and she makes him happy; maybe she’ll even become a reason for him to stay, so I guess I don’t really mind her anymore.

This definitely was a nice episode, thanks to Jim Campolongo, the writer. Very entertaining. Very awesome.

I mean, Peter TANGOED. 

I can’t even. *heartfluttersdamnit*

I was horribly spoiled for this one, so when I started, I assured myself that I’m not going to like it that much.

But I was thankfully wrong! To me, this filled the void I felt when Sara was around – some weird, weird feeling I felt during almost every single episode after 2.05. Something I couldn’t place my finger on. I remember the day I saw that promo featuring Neal and Sara in the archives of Ellis island. I even remember being pissed off a lot, because I kept thinking, come on, even you? in the middle of classes. (yeah. Chemistry classes.)

Well, for one thing, I could compare myself to Madchen Amick’s character in the one aspect that she liked honesty and the truth more than the fake charms some people brought just to impress people. I’m not a very honest person myself in some issues, but I do look for that in a person. So if I was her, I definitely would have done the same thing. And that’s what Peter always was, right? Lovable for his awkwardness and special ability to impress.

El was amazing to assure him that his chances for winning weren’t slim. She was amazing to say that she would marry him as many times as he asked. They’re perfect together. And every time that lady turned her back, I could see her eyes drill holes into her.

He was amazing in that scene with Selena, where the bachelors had to go to every table. As embarrassing as it is for me to admit it, I was horribly moved that there was actually a character who could say that he liked being caught off guard at a place like that. 

"Most of these women are only interested in small talk, so..."

She: Well, what are you interested in?"

He: *surprised for a while* Being caught off guard. Having a conversation that goes beyond the 'what you do' and 'where are you from'.

Something in her eyes go all <3. Doesn't even seem like an act. To me - not cliche. Because that was what Peter would want. Something smart and not just usual, simple flirt-talk.

And he didn’t even want her to pick him. He assumed she would pick Neal or Jones.


<3ed the whole surveillance Neal-Diana 'decent meal' thing. 

With the electric candle! Hee!

People on twitter said this was a very Peter/Elizabeth/Neal episode? I couldn’t see anything of that sort. I’m not a fan of the ‘OT3’ thing many, many people seem to love.

Mozzie! It was so ‘Mozzie’ to barge in without even noticing those two, and then to be the wedding-whatever(not familiar to Christian weddings) for Peter and Elizabeth. And the money! Aw... *remembers that awesome day Tim tweeted*

I want to see Peter's marriage. The first one. :) Including the bachelor party. Man, the women were crazy! :D 

Snapshots of the second marriage:

Me: *intears*

Whatever was missing in my head in the WC dept was filled up by this episode. :) It was nice to not bring up the whole, 'ooh-he's-the-look' thing between the two(although I don't mind that a bit, this is so nice of a change), and have an episode without the back story to distract us. 
<3. Definitely.

So.

Guh. It's that time I hate. ONE WHOLE WEEK for the next episode.

I hate Wednesdays. 

Whoa, White Collar! - 1/2

The episode was perfection, in my eyes. SO MANY awesome, awesome moments between ALL of the characters.

I can't complain! T'was WOW! My mouth dropped a lot. Mostly during that fight. But due to minor problems, I don't have a single screen cap of the episode. So here goes my squeeing without any pictures to help you tolerate it.

For one, thing, I would like to say that I watched this episode almost completely unspoiled. I did know that it was a Mozzie centered epi, but this was just &@^#*$&@&!!!!

So it starts with Mozzie, Neal and June togther in a room, with Moz selling some stuff of his own for their escape.

*sob* Mozzie.

A nuclear lantern that radiates Vitamin D is exposed. Hee! And a banana knife that Neal buys.

There's talk about Mozzie's headmaster from the group of Detroit, how his orphanage needs money. Had a feeling it's the orphanage Mozzie was in.

Then in the conference room in the bureau, well, no one's really interested, and either Peter always looks really good or it's my mind playing awesome tricks on me. 

Neal makes Peter's life complicated?

Neal: I would never. 

Me: Yeah, he just got you out of the prison he put you in and rescued you from dying in a plane explosion over the sea after getting a suspension, not to mention break into a bank with you, dance with french women, steal surveillance footage, recover your severed tie because he thought  knows you know where the Nazi treasure is, and shoot someone for you.

*pants*

<3 Neal. :) :) He he.

Back to the sale, Neal informs Mozzie that he's in danger just when a guy named Frank De Luca Jr. walks in and rambles about not knowing the Dentist of Detroit but knowing he's for real and not a myth. Apparently, Neal doesn't know the big secret.

Me: I know who it is! *sticksouttongueatDeLuca*


Instead of sticking it back at me and stomping off, the broad guy tells "The Dentist" to meet him at a time or place, or he'd kill Jeffrey. The guy knew a lot.
Mozzie's the Dentist of Detroit? Aw.

Since Organized Crime was tracking De Luca's movement and Peter was tracking Neal, Peter finds out the spot where the big Running Sale is and shows up.

And I somehow get screenshots. \o/

Very bad screenshots. :( 


Peter: You in danger, Mozzie?
Moz: I live in danger, Suit.


Peter says he's not going to the meeting. Mozzie says that he'd like to see them try and stop him. *sneer*


Cut to closing the door of a black car with Mozzie inside. :D


Neal tells Peter who Mozzie is. <3 Peter repeats it like a kid. <3 <3
Man, Mozzie suffers in the room he's interrogated in until Peter and Neal enter. Man.


% I only find it hard to believe that Neal didn't know this. But I can be ignorant about it. %


Peter seems angry when the file on The Dentist shows that Mozzie's done....
Well. A lot.
"Neal's convinced me to hear you out. So I can decide whether or not to book you."


Um.
What happens later - I thought of doing a separate post on Mozzie later this week. So I'm kinda skipping this part. Anyway, I'll need the Adorable screen shots.


So afterwards, 

:| *distracted*


*snapsoutofit*


Neal says that he'll attend the meeting as his assistant. Mozzie says that it's not his fight. Neal says that Mozzie's his friend. *meltsatMozzie'slookrightafter*


Ugh! Why do these two HAVE to wear shades? *HORRIBLYdistracted*

*cries* I wouldn't be surprised if this post isn't out there until next year. *Can't.Concentrate*


Mm. The man doesn't believe Neal, so he begins to walk away, but in the end he's convinced, and we come to know that Mozzie's favorite ice cream flavor is Bubble Gum.

Castle. White Collar. Hoof.

Richard Castle

Peter Burke

Neal Caffrey

I don't know what's got into me. Seriously.

Believe it or not, I started watching WC because of Castle. It was purely by accident. It was the day after the season finale of Castle, another sitcom that I love equally, and this show took its slot.

I was practically waving my hands around, irritated, because Castle was the very first TV show I'd watched like an addiction (the others, my mom would watch stuff like Full House, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I just sit with her and watch it just to pass the time), so I didn't understand that the show was not in fact cancelled, but just put on hold.

I laugh when I think about that day, even though it was just five or six months ago.

Yep. That was when they started broadcasting WC here in India. That's why even though Castle is ABC and White Collar is USA, they're shown in the same channel.

I love all three of these guys.

Oh! I like this guy a lot too!

Mozzie

He's so sweet! I love his character, in real life and on screen!

I adore all four of these guys.

I hate to sound like an idiot, but I guess I'm crazy about these two shows not only for their extremely cute characters, but because they're not ... mushy. You can't find that everyday.

And I guess I have a thing for catching bad guys. ;)

Castle is about a famous writer,

 who partners up with a detective,

 ...Kate Beckett.

Castle lends his expertise to the NYPD on a case where the killer killed the victims the same way Castle kills them in his books.

 During the case, Castle finds his inspiration for his next book.

HEAT WAVE.

...so that means Castle's going to have to stick around with Beckett. "Research". Yep.

These two start liking each other.

 Um. Slowly.

But they never admit it.

And that leads to

this...

and a lot of...

...this.

But we do get our moments.

 It's also about family...

and friendship...

Tip? Watch the show. At least Seasons 1 and 2. It's worth it.

Favorite moments:

Oh, Castle's so cute.

"...and then we can take over the world!"

 "Mu - Ha HA HA HA!"

 "Not helping."

"But evil."

...

"Um, can I talk to you for a minute sir? In private?"

"Nope."

+++++++++++++++

Leaning more to the friendship side?

White Collar's about the partnership of a smart con-artist

(a very, very charming, smart con-artist.)

and an intelligent FBI agent.

...who's absolutely gorgeous.

Peter Burke had spent three years of his life chasing Neal Caffrey, and three months before the end of Neal's four year sentence, he escaped.

For a girl.

( D'aww... )

but he missed her by two days. She disappeared.

Peter was called again, since he was the only one who ever caught him.

He finds him again.

In the girl's ( Kate Moreau ) appartment.

Peter tells him that he was going to get another four years in prison 'cause he escaped.

Neal gets an idea.

He gives Peter a tip about the case he was working on, after Peter agrees to meet him in prison in a week.

Neal Caffrey shows Peter that he could get him out of jail, if he let him be taken under his custody. He also shows that he could wear a tracking anklet, so that Peter could find out where he was whenever he wanted.

Peter seems to refuse at first, but I couldn't really blame him.

Neal hopes he'll think about it,

and Peter thinks about it.

...needless to say, he says okay.

These two get together and solve cases.

and even though Peter tells him to forget about Kate, he tries to put the clues together and find her.

...they really seem to like each other.

I've never seen two partners in the FBI look that good together.

and they come for each other when the other's in trouble.

uh-oh.

well, Neal became very talkative.

"Of all the people in my life - Mozzie, even Kate, you know - you're the only one."

"The only one what?"

...

Mozzie.

has perfect recall.

scarily, perfect recall.

would do anything to keep the people he loves safe.

absolutely anything.

(hmmm.)

and has the cutest nicknames for people.

"Suit".

"Mrs.Suit".

"Lady Suit".

"Pant Suit".

Favorite moments:

...Peter doing bad cop

wow...

Peter: This can't be good.

Hughes: Why does everyone say that when I walk into their office?

Peter: So you have good news?

Hughes: (sighing) No.

Aww......

...in that case, mi casa, is, 'suit' casa.

Neal: Luckily the cars come up with a GPS tracking device. (grinning.)

Peter: Oh ho - ho! Just like you!

... just like me.

...

Elizabeth: So what are you doing here, Moz?

Mozzie: (excited) Date night.

...

Peter: Can you do do this??

Neal: No!

Peter: What do you mean no?!

"I mean it's a half-million dollar Lambourgini..."

"...you can't just tap two wires and fire up the engine, you need the key."

Neal hears Franklin make a call.

"Is Franklin talking to Rebecca?"

He gasps in delight.

"Is this a CI - off?"

"Hard to say, he's reading her the vin-number."

"..."

and in the end,

"My CI beat your CI."

<3

...

"Elizabeth's still out of town, right? You want to grab a drink?"

"Can't. I owe Captain Shaddock a favor."

Peter feels bad.

'Cause he was actually going to look into the music box with Diana.

A person related to another case they were working on took a couple of photos of Diana and him together...

... and who should see them but Neal.

No. He wasn't really angry. This is just how he looked when he was thinking.

He shows them to Peter.

"Captain Shaddock sure cleans up nicely."

"...I've never lied to you."

"Come on, Neal, you lie for a living -"

"Not to you. I may have let you draw certain conclusions that weren't correct,"

"but never, an actual lie."

...

"You're lying to me."

"I'm not. I swear I'm not."

"There is no way Peter had a moustache."

"For a month! It was amazing!"

"I would have broken out of prison to see that."

...

Peter was worrying about Neal, and Elizabeth was telling him something about some event.

"..so I told him,if we have that many people in the gallery, he has to do something about the AC."

"Of course he didn't and by 10 o' clock it was like a sauna in there."

"...so I told him, I would spend the night with him for a million dollars,"

"...I'd have to run it by my husband, first."

"But honey, it's a million dollars."

"What do you think?"

"I think - I think that's great."

"I don't think that's great. What - what did you ask me?"

...

"...he won't stay away as long as I have the music box."

"As long as he thinks you have it."

"Okay. I don't have it."

"Oh, look at that. Telling the truth."

"Did it hurt?"

"A little bit."

...

This scene was too sweet to be felt in the pictures below. It's from 'Copycat Caffrey'.

Peter told Neal to check his street contacts. :D

^ *Peter peeking at Neal* ^

Peter was good. You have to look closely.

^ *Neal finding out* ^

"What?"

...

Mozzie entering the bureau. :D

"Moz?"

"Woo-hoo! Come on. You're alright."

...

"How do you know he'll show up?"

"We fill it with beautiful women."

"I was addressing my case agent."

Neal introducing Peter as Mr.Satchmo. I really laughed out loud. =D

...

The scenes that I'll never forget...

Yeah, sure, I'll never ever be able to do justice to those scenes.

But I can't help myself. I can't.

If you want to watch the show entirely on your own, skip this.

But I skipped out a few details.

No. No, I skipped out a lot of details, which will make you want to hit me on the head, shouting

"What happens next?!"

I do that a lot to the person besides me.

Alright, I'm sorry. Where was I?

....

The scenes that I'll never forget.

1. The last scenes in 'Out of the box'.

Neal gets the music box that he needs to get Kate.

He hands it over to Fowler, the man who was tailing him for it, and the person who supposedly had her.

"Kate and I made a deal. You both get new identities. We get the box...

...you disappear. Legally."

Note: I was stumped at this scene. "You disappear." ??? What????

"Kate's waiting for you. Time and place are in that folder."

"Have a nice life, Caffrey."

He says bye to Mozzie.

And Elizabeth.

Peter, in the meantime, finds out about this whole disappearing act.

"..."

Peter goes to the place.

"This is what's right for everyone, Peter. You go back to your life... I get to have one of my own."

"You already have one. Right here. You have people who care about you."

"You make a difference. You do."

"You said goodbye to everyone but me.."

"...why?"

"I don't know..."

"Yeah you do, tell me."

"I don't know, Peter."

"Why?"

"You know why!"

"Tell me!"

"... 'cause you're the only one who can change my mind."

"Did I?"

...but...

"Peter..."
