Sometimes sanity takes vacation, time on leave; I'm beginning to understand
Ahh, poor neglected LJ. What have I been doing to abandon you so?
Unfortunately, not much. Not in the scheme of things, really.
If you put it in a list it seems like a fair amount since I last posted. That's if you dont take in how long it's actually been and how many hours there are in a day.
This is a very convoluted way of saying I've been really ( Read more... )
I am so totally with you on that, my friend.

He said something that sounded like they were dragging the whole "what am I gonna do with the treasure that fell into my lap?" thing well over season three. Which would be very much to my liking (I think).

Truth be told, I want Neal to be a good guy too. And come to think of it, that's how I write him in my fanfics too. I just recently finished a post-2x16 story that deals a little with the trust issues. I haven't posted it yet, it's still with the beta reader.

I hope they play it out a lot longer. It brings that tension back between them and reminds us that Neal's not actually a through and through Good Guy. He got where he is though bad things and he's trying to make up for it.
I get why most people prefer him the way they do. From what's in the show, there's a lot to base him on as a good guy, and at heart he is a good guy. He's just also quite good at being bad, and I mean half the show is based around this fact that Neal is in actuality a con man and signed himself up for this so he could get out of prison for his girlfriend. Now the girlfriend's gone and he's left on the outside with that motivator gone, everything he used to be - and was comfortable and good at being - is considered wrong and immoral and while he knew that before, he didn't care. I think the difference now is he doesn't have the conviction on that other side of the law to keep going except his own history and what he ( ... )
