White Collar Review
Now that's the White Collar we know and love :D Except for the new beginning. What do you all think? Personally I liked last season's opener much better. The new one is just kind of... meh (and I hate it when shows mess with a show's opening).
But on to the show! So much to love, listed incoherently out of order! Satchmo playing a part in one of Neal's schemes (he does love using dogs as accomplices ;)), Moz blaming poor Satchmo for things going wrong, Satchmo and his big floppy face you just want to moosh, Peter giving Neal free reign to scheme, Neal doing his thing, the book disintegrating but it actually working in their favor, Peter the astronomy nerd with his little sextet El gave him for his birthday. Peter, Neal, El and Mozzie all working together, Neal bugging Peter to come out and play, El asking Peter if he wants to go play with Neal and mirrors (adorable!), El encouraging all the eight-year-old enthusiasm of the boys, things with the loot getting hot, Peter trying to explain Neal's anklet to a little girl, Peter and Neal saving the day... I warned you the squee would be out of order ;)
Fun, fun, fun. Man, I love this show.
I was a little nervous that they were going to have Neal and art detective woman sleep together or something, because any other show that would have been the case within five seconds. Needless to say, my relief was mighty.
The cliffhanger ending was nice and I'm really starting to like where they're taking the treasure arc. You can't help but cheer Neal and Mozzie on, not because you want to see them leave with the treasure, but because you don't want to see things between Neal and Peter become horribly undone. I'm both excited and nervous about how the show will end the treasure arc, because there's so many possibilities.

I loved how when Neal doesn't get an answer from Peter, or the one he wants, he will go to Elizabeth. That is so typical child behavior, no?
And Peter's glee when Elizabeth said yes....
There were some great humorous moments in this ep, but overall - Peter is so reeling Neal in. Slowly, but surely. I figure the DC agent was a plant to get Neal to talk about the treasure and quite possibly reveal that he has it.
I totally agree with what Swanpride and others have said - Neal's not really looking to run now. I think he wants the white picket fence and family, since he didn't really have that much growing up, it seems. If he runs, then it's for all the wrong reasons and I don't think his heart is really into it after seeing what Peter and Elizabeth have.
Neal is the one urging caution, yet Mozzie is the one trying to rush forward. Which, is a very stark contrast from them in the past - usually it's Mozzie telling Neal he needs to be cautious.

Another excellent observation, and one that I think totally backs up Neal not really wanting to run. It also shows that Neal is changing. I know it's only two eps in but he does seem a lot less impetuous than he used to be.
