dear white collar,
I put up with a lot on this show.
I put up with an amoral main character who - if you really start to think about it - is possibly the biggest jerk on television. He's pretty, clever and charming, sure, but - according to the character's own words - he's never said he was sorry and meant it, and his whole life is the con. It's an addiction he doesn't want to stop because he hasn't hit bottom yet. Not when he was in prison, not when his girlfriend died, not when he was in prison the second time, not when he almost killed a man. None of these things count as the bottom, apparently.
He hasn't changed is any significant way or even learned anything in the two/three years he's been with the FBI now.
And then he and his equally amoral - perhaps a little less amoral, actually, because Mozzie never claimed to be anything other than what he is while Neal pretends at playing a good guy for Peter's benefit on a daily basis - BFF found a shipful of Nazi treasure. And didn't pay even a moment's consideration as to who the rightful owners were, that it belongs in a museum, maybe, instead of two amoral jerks. That whole thing.
And there's always some suspension of belief for the sake of drama, regarding characterization and cons and plot-lines and, you know, whatever. And yet again the looted nazi treasure because none of the writing staff seemed to have any moral issues regarding that, either.
But this week, they do something that even I have trouble reconciling as any kind of believable thing of television: Mozzie has sexual relations. with a lady. Now, who wouldn't be into Lena Headey, be it a dude, a lady or her tv brother, sure, but come on.
Mozzie. Mozzie.
Yeah.
(Them eating cereal while helping Peter and Neal afterward was really cute, though.)
Aaaaand I'm pretty sure I will forgive this show for everything it does, has done and will ever do on account of next week: Neal Caffrey. Navy dress whites. Sweet Jesus.
