Excited for this week (but meanwhile, JE is still a poopyhead)
So the parenthetical refers to a post from a few months ago (and one of the comments), but I'll start with the first part:
We are currently just under 19 hours out from the White Collar Season 3 premiere and I can't wait. I've heard from a couple of people who saw it at the USA event at Hudson River Park, and they agreed that it was a terrific, tightly plotted episode. On a purely superficial note, I've seen a bunch of promo shots, and, "Oh, the pretty." :-) Also, despite FoxConnect's attempts to a) not do what they promised on their website, and b) annoy me thoroughly, my Season 2 DVDs arrived today. Well, actually yesterday, since it's Tuesday now. And in non-WC coolness, I am heading down to Maryland on Thursday to see friends and go to the Mumford & Sons show at Merriweather Post Pavilion. I'm totally psyched!
As to the Jeff Eastin thing...
a.k.a. Jeff Eastin being a poopyhead (thanks, elrhiarhodan for the moniker, as per the previous post mentioned above). I really wish he would stop trotting out the "Neal was born bad" thing. He said it at PaleyFest a while back, and I just saw it again in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter that was posted to whitecollar_tv . I discussed my thoughts on this in a previous post, which can be found HERE. As I said before, I get the need for dramatic tension. I also get that it is hard for Neal to change. But the statement that, "he wants to be good, but he was born bad" suggests that he actually can't change, which I don't buy at all. Plus, if that's true, it doesn't really make sense to say the whole upcoming season is about choices. Grr.
Alas, anything else I have to say about it (or about anything else), will have to wait. I'm only typing this post at 3am because I fell asleep on my sofa, then woke up in the wee hours of the morning and was sort of awake, and so I ended up on the computer. But I really need to go to bed for real now.
