Sutton Foster certainly has improved at reading ASP’s dialog since the pilot episode.

Breaking Bad: Good lord, this has all happened in one year! Whoa.

I know!

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)

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.

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.

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

Just watched Suits--I am loving the law company chess match this program is. Luckily, probably, I don't know what's realistic and what's not (although, thankfully, they did lampshade Jessica's outfits, so my suspicions there were borne out), so I can go along with every scenario they set up--even if the factual issues are wrong, the emotions are engaging.

And, seriously--great move by Daniel there at the end--I don't believe that Harvey did the wrong thing, but he pretty much gave Daniel the ammo he required, even more than if there hadn't been both the holdout and the subject. The only way he couldn't have called for that vote would have been if she'd gotten them to decide to go trial. Unfortunately, what Harvey needs internally is at odds with what Jessica needs, while Harvey is the person Jessica needs to most.

Rifts upon rifts at crosspurposes.

And, seeing Gina Torres play a decisive, incisive lawyer at trial (even mock) is pretty hella cool.
