White Collar 1.14 blow by blow
And so the finale is here. I'm both excited and sad and nervous. Just remember, there is a season 2, there is a season 2, there is a season 2...
... Um. To cheer yourselves up from the prospect of hiatus, if you haven't checked out the live chat that Tim DeKay and Matt Bomer did, you should. They're funny, and awesome, and a pleasure to see joking around and answering questions.
Right then.
I love how he's sneaking coffee to prove his point.
And how Peter is totally suspicious about Neal. Though Neal didn't lie. Exactly.
... nearly nekkid!Neal... :grabby hands:
It's good to steal something no one can report...
Implied sex? :tips head:
Hi Mozz! I love the way he freaks out.
So, Neal, you're gonna shake hands with the Devil? Fowler's just gonna fuck you over, realistically.
"Happily ever after isn't for guys like us" So true. Not that it doesn't make me sad.
Suspicious phone calls for the win. I'm just sayin'.
And Peter is all suspicious like. Hi El! I love how she's worried...
I just realized that I'm expecting all of this to go very badly for everyone. :bites lip and tries to relax:
Ok, El and Peter are adorable. Completely adorable.
Oh, he flew in to DC... maybe he does know more than I gave him credit for, with cutting the sound off on the ep with the judge. Or is he doing what Peter did with the judge, and trying to give Neal enough rope to hang himself. Hm.
Interesting.
Hi Peter! I knew you'd be there.
Hello plotsome trio! Exposition = win.
And June is like an early warning system. She did love her husband, no?
Peter sounds so upset. And Neal's voice sounds so small.
Oh boys.
The end of that line, btw, is "... and you're mine." (re: weaknesses)
And so Fowler reports to someone. But who?
... Take Burke out of play? Uh oh.
I... um. Unf. Shirtless Neal + clay.
Alex is so almost all business. It's cute.
Please don't set her up as ongoing romance. I like her as a freelancing whatever...
And so Fowler shows his hand. Oh El.
Oh. OH. Peter. Um. Why the hell did you give in to that. Please, for the love of od, tell me he gave in to be able to play Fowler. Shit.
Oh El, freaking out. Breathe honey... And then she trusts Peter to fix it.
And so Neal is under house arrest? Except... not. In usual Neal style.
:sighs: Peter walked into it?
"You'd do the same for Elizabeth" and that's how you win him over, lol
"FBI access Fowler can't link to me" .... THE PROBIE!!! YES!!!
:does a happy dance with far too much glee:
"Is he still wearing the hat?" :beams:
Ahem. Anyway. Back to the exposition.
And the anklet cutting, apparently. Welcome to the halfway point, ladies and gentlemen.
"You're sure it's him" well, no, no we're not, actually. But I suppose Peter and Neal are convinced.
I do love her. A perfect blend of Peter and El, I think. Should balance out the fed group a little more.
Let the schmoozing begin.
It is so nice seeing a group of thieves play the crowd. I'm just sayin'. (Though, so far as crowd shots go, Leverage wins over this. The lighting is weird.)
That... is... Neal, what are you doing exactly? Declaring that you're going to rob people?
Ah~ He got taken away and put somewhere else. Slick.
But what is Alex doing? Is it wrong I hope it's gonna be pretty?
Smoke... Parker would be sad...
Ack, Mozz, stop wobbling! :flails a little:
And so, what did he hide in it?
Tools. Good boy....
Shit, Mozz, c'mon man. You're making me antsy... 20 min on the clock. And things are still gonna go topsy turvy...
And that? That's where the candy fishes were that Matt talks about to my question about the pranks. I'm just sayin'.
What's Alex doing? Trying to play him? did she pass him?
And she takes the box. Of course. :sighs:
Run boys run!
Hello Peter. You shouldn't seem quite so smug. As much as I love you for whatever it is that's making you smug. Y'know. Cos you rock.
Oh Neal. Neal getting teary...
Aw, June... Alex? ... Really?
Awwwww June. You know Neal's gonna vanish. I love you.
Meh. Love interest. Though she's pretty selfish. I like the tension, don't get me wrong. But ... yeah. Leave it at tension!
And the meeting with Fowler.
:raises eyebrow: MENTOR was created for Neal? That sounds oh so very suspicious.
"above my paygrade" cos he's not the man with the ring.
I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop...
Really? She's that messy? C'mooooon.
Oh Mozzie. I love you. "send me a post card"
I'm curious why they'd hand Neal a new identity. I mean. Ok, so maybe Neal was yet another tool? For whoever the ringed man is?
Oh Neal. Oh honey, you are such a sweetheart... ensuring El can't crash from Fowler's stupidity...
Oh no. DON'T HURT THE JUNIOR AGENT.
Oh my god there's only 7 minutes left. Shiiiiit.
Peter!
:flails:
Oh SHIT. ... and... he's wearing a vest?
And so Peter plays hardball. Fuckity.
Oh my god. What the hell is going on? Encrypted files and someone high enough to send Neal... somewhere?
And we still need to find out about Kate.
:goes back to flailing:
Is that Kate waving from the airplane? Ducking back away from the entrance too...
"Here as your friend" Oh Peter... I love you. Your heartfelt... oh Peter...
Giving him the ID...
"You said goodbye to everyone but me" ... "Cos you're the only one who could make me change my mind" :flails and flails:
Ok. That? I did not see that coming. Although about 30 seconds before it blew David asks "Why wouldn't they just kill Neal?"
... So. Unless Kate got off the plane when the camera is off her... um. Shit.
Wow. Just. Um. Wow.
((As an aside, for those that watched the chat... I think Matt and Tim pulled the collective leg of fandom regarding that damn donkey! ROFL))
Right, so, is it next wee-- Dammit! Do all my shows come back in the summer??? You can't just leave it there... :pouts!:
Also, does anyone know when White Collar s2 goes back into production? I know the writing team is already working, but I mean filming wise...
