Ok, that pitch was perfect.
I need some fic.
Eta: actually, I just read that one of my favorite Doctor Who fic writers is working on something WC-related.

Breaking Bad is starting up soon. March 23st is the premiere of Season 3. AMC has sneak peaks, a bunch of stuff up: [link] and Teri Gross interviewed [link] Vince Gilligan a couple of days ago.
Did anyone else catch the Whip Smart interview? Pretty interesting. Not that I'm watching it, but it makes me wish they'd use some of her stories for Lady Heather on CSI. The woman sounds like Terry Gross also, same tonal range. Very well suited for radio. [link]

I actually thought that promo shot was some clever fan photoshopping, and then I saw a large version of it and was all "nuh-uh!"

Speaking of White Collar images, the header image of this journal is an interesting commentary on the Peter/Neal relationship. Neal's Peter's shadow? Peter is Neal's public face?

That's another one I like. When I see that I think "Peter and Neal are ONE"
[link] This lj header is one of several similar photos, and there's a better one that has Peter framed more deliberately in the... frame. That one says to me that Peter is the priceless work of art that Neal will covet and eventually steal.

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

Kind of a nifty White Collar overview: [link]

Ah, the dom/sub reading.
I think he overstates the "no lie" quotient of the show. Neal totally lies to Peter. It's more that there are few misunderstandings. Peter just sees through him. So while there are no "lie arcs" there are still lies. Neal might trust Peter more than he trusts anyone else, but that's not a total trust.

I don't think the point was no lying, it was that the plot doesn't hinge on the kind of obvious lies that in real life no one would buy. Or at least that's my take. It reminds me of romance novel critiques where one of the tests were "could the entire conflict of the plot have been resolved by someone asking one question that any reasonable person in that circumstance would ask?" A surprising number fail.
