I'll pay you bubble.
Okay, now that was fun. :o)
I think maybe White Collar has lost any grip on realism that it ever had. (How do you 'find' and 'burn' all a mysterious mystery-guy's aliases in a single afternoon? Are we really to believe that every forger in New York can be found within Neal's two mile radius? And that they all know each other and hang out together and get sentimental about the same things? Like a piratical festival of conviviality?) And I can't always follow a speedily-executed tv con to the point that I can actually see how one domino necessitates the toppling of the next.
But realism be damned. 'Burke's Seven' was too cute.
Neal in a sloppy t-shirt! Fractal bendy straws! Peter looking all hot and hot-like on a horse! He even got a photo finish!
And I'm really warming to Sarah. Kate definitely never caught on for me - waaaaay too prepubescent-looking. I'm okay with Alex, though I did feel like the show writers were sorting leaning in, forcing her on me. But Sarah I just *like,* even if she does scream Enter The New Love Interest. Maybe it's her loyalty to Peter? Maybe it's how effortlessly she slips into a con, even though she's *not* a career criminal? Maybe it's the fact that she and Neal know when to stop trading barbs and just tell each other the truth.
Or maybe it's her fantastic wardrobe of structured dresses - not too funky, not too consciously eccentric, not too overtly sexualized. Just really, really interesting. Sarah's wardrobe is sort of charged with this powerful, eminently female, creative verve that I just... guh, you know? With just a splash of vintage Audrey Hepburn in 'Charade.' Anyhoo, she's really growing on me. :o)
Favorite part? I think the cute little moment when Peter, Neal and Elizabeth are regrouping back at Chez Burke, right after attention has shifted from Neal's problem to Peter's. Peter's all barkity-bark-bark at Neal, badgering him to listen for once instead of going off half-cocked, only to look over and realize, 'You are listening to me.' Awww...
Oh, White Collar. It is so back on!
