White Collar Appreciation Post (Premiere Edition)

[tjs_whatnot]

I'm trying to hold on to the happy/lovely place that White Collar has been for me. And also, trying to hold on to this place in Fandom, this Live Journal place to be somewhere I can share the lovely with others.

I've gotten so much from the community of fanfic, fanart and the pretty pictures. It's the recaps, reviews and the analysis (I think) that is getting me down. Not that I don't thing there is a time and place for that. There is.

But, what I'd like is for this one teeny, tiny place, in this slight space in time to be the place where we talk about the thing(s) we liked about the show. So, please share with me.

And no ending in "...but..." Or starting in "Even though..."

Just the good and the happy-making. Please.

It can be as simple as:

MOLE!

OR as in-depth as:

I loved how Neal realized too late to stop it, but before he had to show ignorance that the whole con was a set-up for blackmail.

To anything in between:

Mozzie finding his conspiracy-theory soulmate at the ONE moment in his life he had to pretend he wasn't one was a thing of beauty.

Okay, now--your turn!

Oh, also, for everyone else's sake. Please, no spoilers for upcoming episodes. THX

I'm in! I loved every minute of this episode! I had to watch it several times already, and I saw more things each time and liked it even more. The show looked great, the acting was amazing, the things they set up will be spun out over the whole season. I am excited and so looking forward to what comes next. I love this show so much, I have since the pilot, it just keeps getting better every season.

One of the best things about White Collar has always been the relationship between Neal and Peter. It has a lot of elements, like all real relationships, the core of which is affection. They like each other, they always have, they always will. This episode showed their affection in every scene, in everything they did and said, especially the last scene. I could not have had the emotional reaction that I had if I didn't believe this 100%.

I am so glad you gave me a place to squee about this amazing premier. I hope you continue it for next week too and beyond. Thank you!

YAYAYAYAY! This is the first one in a long time that I instantly wanted to watch again. I haven't yet, but I really want to... maybe tonight. *sigh* They really did a good job at giving us a tease of all that will come and how MOMENTOUS it will all be.

Peter and Neal are magical and their relationship has so many layers and I just sort of love (as much as I get frustrated) with the two steps forward-one step back of it. Just like real relationships with skewed dynamics. Such delicious skewed dynamics. ♥♥♥
