Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Did anyone watch White Collar? I thought it was kinda fun. Not Leverage fun, but charming. And Matt Bomer--I never got into Chuck or Traveler, but damn that man is a charismatic looker.

Nice to see a pairing where the consultant and the career LEO are both competent, instead of the Monk/Psych/Numb3rs/Mentalist/... angle where the cops never look like they could get anything done on their own. I especially liked the way the agent got the "exigent circumstances" ploy that Caffery pulled at the end.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I just finished watching it. I adore Tim DeKay, so I'm glad to see him getting work.

Oh, I was talking about this in Procedurals. I liked it. Pretty blatant ripoff of It Takes a Thief, but I like the changes that they made (like the arrangement being Caffrey's idea), and the FBI team.

absolutely!

I think it's explicitly the story of the guy from Catch Me If You can, fictionalised.

I'm not excited by Tiffani Thiessen, but she was okay. As long as she doesn't get widowed by the job,

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The DH knows Tim DeKay from college. I have met him a couple of times and he is a very nice and unassuming guy. Tim is married to his grad school girlfriend with some kids. The DH says he possibly the nicest actor he has ever met.

Tim DeKay kind of reminds me of James Woods.

I love this from the It Takes a Theif Wiki

The USA Network series White Collar, which premiered on October 23, 2009, follows a strikingly similar premise.[4] After Universal Studios, owners of the It Takes a Thief copyright, acquired USA Network, concerns about possible infringement of the copyright and/or plagiarism are believed to have largely faded.[citation needed]

except for the part about him being the nicest actor that Scrappy's DH has ever met. No one would say that about James Woods.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I finally got a chance to watch White Collar. That was fun! I like the relationships between the three main characters.

The wife being #3? I really don't like that casting, and I'm a bit miffed that she lied to him about dinner being ready, but I'm not exactly Ms. Relationship Compromise Wisdom or anything.
