White Collar 6 x 06 - Au Revior

Dec 21, 2014 10:41

Thinky and not so thinky thoughts in regards to the White Collar - Au Revoir.

I really felt I needed to rewatch the episode after reading other people’s opinions - I seem to read the end different than most people.

Mozzie's pain feels way to real to me.
That scene at the morgue? It wasn't an act. Nor was the conversation with Peter in the street.
Mozzie really thought Neal was dead. Until, like Peter, he got a clue that led him to the container - just before Peter.

I agree it does feel 'real', but at the same time I keep thinking in the back of my mind that Moz is also a conman - and a good one.

I love the show and these characters so much, but for some reason this part of the episode doesn't seem to add up for me.

Moz may not have known and spent the year looking for answers.

Just a quick comment on Neal protecting the people he loves...I think he *was*, and that includes Peter. First, the original plan wasn't for Peter to be part of the gang. Secondly, I think the point is that the Panthers would have gone after Peter because of his connection to Neal, and not because he caught them. If Peter is in danger now as the FBI agent who caught the Panthers, then that would have been true in the original version of the plan too. But I think there's a difference between being a gang member who betrays the gang and being an FBI agent, even an undercover one who infiltrated the gang. We were never given the impression that the Panthers would have everyone in the FBI who worked on their case killed, but that they would go after everyone close to Neal when they found out that he was a "rat."

At least that's my take.

I do agree that I think his original intent was to protect the people he cares about and it was convenient to disappear and start again. I think there was more killing in this case than usual for the show. Luc, Woolford’s number one man and Keller all reaching violent ends - the Panthers just seem a hostile group. It would have been too easy for Woolford to just shoot Peter (and yes I was mad at Peter too for putting himself in that situation). I think the violence of the last two episodes kind of got to me.
