White Collar Episode 4
On an upswing Things that were better this week:
1) Neal and Peter were back to being smart. I liked their joint work on the fingerprints, Peter scaring the reporter with the completely unusable evidence, Neal sneaking into the building, Peter's following Neal's play when Neal broke into the desk.
2) Gloves! With evidence! Thank god!
3) The entire Mr. Haversham sequence was genius. I ... don't know why Mozzy and Peter think that Garrett Dillahunt's not going to mention the fact that he got hit by a limousine whose driver got to just drive off, though.
Things that were not so awesome
1) Neal doesn't know that the cops can't use stolen evidence? This is the guy who went and read the book on warrants, come on. All we had to do was have the reporter leave the pawnshop ticket on her desk, and it would have obviated Neal having to act dumb. I'm okay with the criminal being dumb. You know why? Because they often are! I hate the leads being dumb.
2) I'm not down with this idea that Peter is completely mystified by Elizabeth's thoughts and feelings. It is difficult for me to believe that they have the happy marriage that Tim and Tiffany are, in actual point of fact, portraying, if, at the same time, he has no idea whether or not she's upset with him or what things she likes or stuff like that. It just doesn't make any sense that he's depending on people like Neal and Jones, who've known her for five seconds, to interpret her to him. Cut it out! It doesn't make him look cute; it makes him look like a dick.
Stuff that was just awesome
1) Jones' advice on the dual cellphones. Hilarity.
2) Mozzy's rant about freedom being punctured by Neal pointing out that Moz lived in a storage unit.
Stuff that was just weak.
1) Why do you bother hiring Natalie Morales to do the acting equivalent of getting the coffee? Why are we wasting her on quipping at Neal? Give her work or cut her loose, you guys.
2) Speaking of wasted talent: why do you hire Hudson Leick to sit around crying? That chick has mad skillz and you just put her in a robe and put her in the corner? Make her the reporter and the other guest actress the weepy wife. This was as silly a waste of talent as what they did with Mark Sheppard.
3) No June. :(
