Michael K. Williams is guest starring on L&O tonight. I can't not want him to get away with whatever the hell. It makes watching the show kind of different. Omar!

I am acting out bits of White Collar for my sister to get her interest piqued. It's actually working. She's illegally streaming the episode to get to the airport scene because how much justice can I do it?

She's there now...and she went to the Bodyguard place, avec lyrics.

At first she said I oversold it, but now I think she's on our side.

I re-watched the several more episodes today. Is it wrong that I'm secretly wondering if Joe can find and bring home a Neal Caffrey of our own?

Hee. There's no such thing as overselling.

Then I did the "I trust you most"...headpats bit from the doctor episode (bless Skype), and I think she may go back and have a better look.

I would pay money to see this. Is there video?

SLNRLBF and I just finished watching Leverage on Netflix -- when does it come back?

June, askye. Isn't it brilliant?

I had watched it and read some of the comments but I didn't really know what was going on.

And Nate is so broken, with what he said on the phone to Sophie, and then at the end when he was bleeding. Everytime they cut back the pool of blood was bigger.

I hated the fake psychic guy and really wanted to see Elliot hurt him because he made Parker cry and that's wrong.

And just seeing Nate going off the rails slowly I don't know how they are going to get him out of jail, or if he'll want to get out of jail but I can't wait until June.

Also overall I liked Tara. She wasn't Sophie but she wasn't bad either. I hope they bring her back at some point for a guest thing.

Although if the writers had written out Sophie and brought in Tara rather than the actress being on maternity leave I probably would have thought differently.

Mostly I'm looking forward to the character development, not just Nate's but everyone's.

This is definitely a show that has multiple layers of viewing enjoyment.

At first I was just enjoying it superficially, fluffy fun, a bit refreshing with the smart straight-man and the smart cool wife. When the mid-season finale hit, I realized that this show needed to be paid attention to, and then the rewatches brought me to the love story of Neal and Peter.

I still can't understand how they failed so hard with Cruz, to the point where they were actually excluding her from eps. Someone said at TWoP that it's odd since she was awesome on a show chock-full of awesome, and another pointed out that she was the only one written to be antagonistic on the team dealing directly with Neal, and that the hostility was a glaring sore thumb. But that still could have been worked around, with her warming up to Neal incrementaly while still remaining immune.

I'm not sure if I want her to fade away permanently, with or without a mention of her departure off-screen, or if I want her to become relevant and exposed as a mole, because then I'm afraid I'd be mad that she'd left just when she got interesting. Not that I can remember if she is officially off the show or if this is an assumption based on her absenteeism and Diane's wonderful reappearance for the finale. Seriously, within a minute of her being back onscreen on the park bench, there was warmth, personality, a sense of intelligence and competence and an enjoyment of watching her. With Cruz, if she wasn't fading into the background, it was hostile and smug and full of friction, and not even relevant friction.

Jeff Eastin, in his tweets, had asked people to come up with a WC drinking game, in an underhanded way to see what was repetitive and predictable. Which makes me hopeful that he's smart enough to recognize what doesn't work and disband with it. BTW, "KATE!" was the one of the top three "Drink!" prompts.
