White Collar 3x...whatever episode was on tonight.
I'm in that weird stage of stepping into a fandom where I don't really feel qualified to talk about it yet. Like, I feel like I need to read more fic or meta or reviews before my opinions really mean anything.
I really, really like Neal and Sara. I think they've had really excellent chemistry, and I think she's kind of badass and hot as fuck. I still think they're hot like burning together and I squeal every time they kiss but...
I really don't like where this plotline is going. We do not need another ball-and-chain female character. It is killing all my Sara buzz. Especially because Peter is quite literally Neal's ball and chain. And I just - I didn't want them to compete. This fandom was so lovely and non-competitive! I could love all the ships at once without complication!
But now they're giving Peter's role in the arc to Sara all of a sudden, and I'm just not feeling it.
What I am feeling is that Neal gets in huge-ass trouble, so Peter scolds him and then takes him home and makes him drink wine with his wife. Because that is Peter's kind of discipline. That, and reminders about the anklet and just how much he owns Neal, just as things start to get more serious with Sara. See! It's good for the angst-potential of the ship, but it's fucking competitive! ARRRGH.
Still, the arching her neck back so Neal can kiss it thing? Rawr.
But then, "I have a partner with expensive taste."
SO TORN.
I thought the Mozzie/Vulture plotline was a little bit predicatable and crass, but I did enjoy "send the handsome one."
Next week looks to be high drama (and possibly feature Neal in military dress?) so I am excite. Let's end on that note.
