White Collar Confab

It's the season finale! -flail-

And I am fretting big time about what will happen. The writers usually have a huge cliff-hanger at this time, and I am very nervous about what it could lead to. When the episode is done, post your thoughts here. Or, you can post your thoughts as the episode is happening!

I forgot to post up a reaction post before I went to work last evening. So here we go! Discuss the latest episode of White Collar!

I mentioned in the comments to the last episode that my thoughts on Peter's actions needed an essay to express them properly. Surreal suggested that I could post it here. So here it is.

I’ve been trying to pin down why I so disliked Peter’s actions in the latest episode. This is the nearest I can get. It’s not about whether either of them is angsting about Neal lying to Peter.

( Collapse )

I'm not setting out to change the way anyone else sees it; this is by way of clarifying my own thoughts. But comments/discussion would be welcome.

After two weeks, we finally have a new episode of White Collar!

Will we make any headway into finding the evidence to clear Neal's father? Will Peter and Neal finally talk about the key? Will Elizabeth confess to Peter that Neal lied to him at her request?

Watch tonight's episode, then come here and share your thoughts!

Since there's a dog show this week instead of White Collar, I thought it might be nice to talk about some of our favorite past episodes or moments from the show.

What are your favorite moments? What episode do you return to over and over again?

That was some episode last week, wasn't it? It sure generated a lot of discussion, both positive and negative about how El handled things. So what will happen tonight? Will El come clean with Peter? Will Peter honor her wishes? Will Neal confess to Peter and seek his guidance, even at the risk of upsetting Elizabeth?

I don't know! I guess we'll just have to watch.

Keep a particular eye on the directing of this episode, and let us know what you think of it. ;-)

So James's story is out (or is it?! Go to Off the wall theory  to discuss possible deviousness on the part of Neal's dad). There's a new bad guy to focus on now. Will we get to meet them tonight? Will we get any more answers about the evidence to clear Neal's dad? Will we see Satchmo again?!! Tune in to tonight's episode of White Collar, and then post your thoughts here!

"Off the wall" because I don't believe that it will happen - it would be great, if it did, but I don't expect it.[But: What if James is a way bigger player than he admits to be? Perhaps he is the one pulling the strings all along.]But: What if James is a way bigger player than he admits to be? Perhaps he is the one pulling the strings all along.
Think about it: When he turned up, he did his very best to cut Neal off Peter. When this didn't work, because Peter was too persistent, he maybe staged the abduction by Flynn junior. Wasn't the way he managed to escape way too easy? But the whole thing made his story, which might be a lie from start to finish, more believable. Flynn junior said that the gun was planted...what if it was? The only reason Neal went looking for it was because James told him the story about the gung the father had. Really, how likely is it that Flynn junior would not only do the same thing, but also doing it with the weapon which killed Ellen and not with another one?
Neal is now trusting his father - but who knows, perhaps that is a mistake and in the end it will turn out, that he has done way more than he admitted to.

Woooo! White Collar is back tonight!
