lokifan_importRight, so! WHITE COLLAR FINALE. I just watched it and haven’t processed anything and this has all come out like a liveblog but LET’S TALK ABOUT IT OKAY
“Had... had a purpose.” XD
Jones whistling while he carried the massive box that defeated both Neal and Peter was awesome. JONES IS THE BEST.
Also, I am really liking Sara so much now. Saying it was hot! Being emotionally guarded yet liking Neal! Saying they SHOULDN’T ignore things! Yay!
The watch-hiding thing was totally cool.
I LOVE DRUGGED NEAL.
Yeeeah I knew it with the uboats and the Nazi dinnerware. That was hilarious and fantastic, all Indiana Jones/ Boys’ Own type stuff. Also, “if this doesn’t work...” “me too” KILLED ME DEAD. THE LONG LOOK BETWEEN THEM. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO.
Mozzie and Sara hanging out = fun. Sara needs to be less condescending to him though.
I liked the Neal/Alex kiss. I liked that it was about convenience and the rush of being alive but that they connect, too, even if it’s partly through the things that make them unable to be together. But oh Sara :(
Hey White Collar you passed the Bechdel Test! Good for you! And Sara and Alex talking is so - OH NEAL WHY TO INTERRUPT MY JOY.
Jones warning Neal and offering to be wingman!!! I AM DEAD OF JONES’ AWESOME. Also it reminds me of Jones warning Peter that his wife and his girlfriend had come together in that episode with the Iraqi gold :)
Neal as “a wonderful fantasy that’s just out of reach” jarred me at first, but it actually works well with the whole con-or-man-not-conman thing: he’s learning to be a Real Boy.
I loved Peter’s voice changing, as it always does, when he spoke to El. Also the fact that he was CLEARLY sitting in his office watching Neal and Sara be awkward at each other and plotting with El.
“For better, for worse” YEEEEAH. El and Sara! Talking to each other! Makes me so happy, especially since that whole scene totally fits into an OT3 scenario. I loved the dinner party bit and only wish there could be more! Poor Neal and Sara feeling awkward, El and Peter being adorable, the ladies talking and El being so great, the men talking and Peter being so great, IT WAS ALL AWESOME.
Also, the ending? Rocked. The art wasn’t destroyed! New mysteries! Matt Bomer smiling!
I’m sure plenty of fans will not be pleased to see a rerun of the Peter/Neal trust issues - but then this isn’t that, quite. Peter has real reason to think Neal’s betrayed him when he had learnt to mostly trust him, which is a different thing. White Collar being what it is, this will likely all be dealt with in v. short order anyway, but I like it.
S3 NOW PLZ.

Date: 2011-03-11 02:21 am (UTC)Oh, God, I was GUTTED by Neal's "PROVE IT!" and Peter jumping back to his mistrust of Neal and THEN AFTER SUCH AN OT3 SCENE OF PERFECTION! DUDE! EL PRACTICALLY CALLS THEM MARRIED AND WITH HER "It's for the better" AND *FLAILS*
“if this doesn’t work...” “me too” KILLED ME DEAD. THE LONG LOOK BETWEEN THEM. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO. THIS THIS THIS THIS I DIED SO FUCKING HARD!!!!
But God, what will Neal chose to DO with all his teasure?!?!?!? And WHO BLEW UP NEAL'S CHRYSLER BUILDING/STOLE THE TREASURE FOR HIM?!?!?! That note - Jeff Eastin said that there's a reason it's typed and not handwritten!!!
AND YOU ARE RIGHT, JONES ARE MADE OF SO MUCH WIN \O/

Date: 2011-03-11 09:53 am (UTC)OMG I KNOW WHO DID IT?? Mozzie's actually my best bet, but I think he'd have more morals than to keep Nazi loot, it's got blood all over it... But whoever did it clearly filled the building full of Neal's artwork, so...
I hope Neal keeps the treasure for a bit, at least! Just for the fun of it - I wanna see him going to work and pretending nothing's happened!
IT'S ALL SO AWESOME

Date: 2011-03-11 06:34 pm (UTC)Tim and Matt SO OWNED IT! God, Tim's angry/disappointed face KILLS ME! As does Matt's incredolous face T_T and yes! After all the OT3 *will never get over it* I am SO NERVOUS about how things will start out in S3!!!
Hmm... yeah, you got a point there *ponders* and LOL! Speaking of Mozzie - HITLER CLONES xDDD *FLAILS* I cannot wait for the Mozzie centric episode in S3 \O/
And yeah, why acidentally/delibirately frame Neal/make it look like he did it/risk that it looks like he did it and then just give him the teeasure? To frame him furhter? O_o The point?!
But he cannot possible go to work pretending nothing happened when Peter balantly accused him like that, can he?
IT IS AWESOME! AND FRUSTRATING! AND AWESOME!

Date: 2011-03-19 12:12 am (UTC)THAT SCENE. KILLED ME.
LOL! I love Mozzie so. These guys rock at secondary characters. A Diana-and-Jones-POV ep would make me happy forever.
Either frame or tempt him. It's a little illogical but not as bad as some of the plot holes this series!
No, course he can't - I meant show up and still be all "fuck you, I know nothing" to Peter's face. *angstwhore*
WHY IS IT NOT JUNE. EXPLAIN THIS FOR ME. IT SHOULD BE JUNE.

Date: 2011-03-19 01:13 am (UTC)OMGYES! I need a Jones and Diana ep!! *flails* it'd be hilarious to hear about Neal and Peter and their relationship from their PoV!!! Jones saying "don't you just hate it when Peter makes you get coffee?" to Peter still owns my soul!
LOL! I'm too stupid (or distracted by pretty) to notice plot holes. I am not bothered by this - blissful ignorance works fine with me :P
Yeah, God, but he DOES know something and just lsdkghæzdgjfvkx WHAT WILL HAPPEEEEEN?!?!?!?!
I HAVE NO IDEA T_T IT SHOULD BE JUNE 8TH RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNE!!!!
(is still totally jealous of your White Collar icons)
