It's definitely a fascinating discussion! It is interesting to me that your impressions over a number of episodes were similar to mine from just the one. I remember thinking at the time that I had probably got an unflattering episode since the team was split up and I didn't really get to see Patrick interact with people he liked and respected. Which is probably at least somewhat true, but it's interesting to see the analysis of the differences in his way of relating to people vs. Neal from people who've seen more of the show than I have.

I find [livejournal.com profile] kriadydragon's point especially interesting that we're not really supposed to sympathize with Patrick, because I think one of the things that really turned me off of him was feeling like we were supposed to be viewing his actions favorably. But it's intriguing to think of him as a darker character, a sort of dark mirror of Neal.
