I didn't realize that Major Crimes was going to follow right on from the series finale of The Closer.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Sutton Foster certainly has improved at reading ASP’s dialog since the pilot episode.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Watching the latest White Collar, the thing that pulled me out of the fantasy was transferring $50 million from two peoples' bank accounts to Neal's bank account in milliseconds. I can't even transfer $300 from one of my own accounts to another in less than three days!

I can transfer money between accounts instantly. One advantage of a small bank (Heritage in my case)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I can transfer money instantly between accounts at the same bank. It takes three days to transfer money between accounts at different banks, even though they are all mine. Even if all three of the people moving money in that episode had accounts at the same bank, I don't believe they can move $50 million dollars between different peoples' accounts instantly.
But it is a fantasy.

Is that the first time you've seen that TV trope? It's used all the time on Leverage and I know I've seen it elsewhere as well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had expected that if it's 50 million, they work out a way for it to happen quickly.
It doesn't take me three days to transfer between banks, though. Bank Of America offers three transfer speeds to me, at the lowest rung of their accounts--same business day, next business day, three business days.
So, no, I don't find the White Collar premise too plausibility stretching, given that they probably have all sorts of perks on top of that I could never dream of.

No, it's just the first time I've bothered to mention it!

It's entirely possible that PNCBank just sucks that much. Also, I've never had to transfer millions. Maybe that's easier.

Trust my rage
I can transfer between my accounts at different banks instantly. I've never tried $50 million though.
