White Collar: Love. It was a super intimate conversation. And I liked getting all the backstory. I love that the intensity of their current relationship is tied to the intensity of their previous relationship when they knew about each other a whole bunch, but didn't know each other at all. And yet the whole of their being was focused on each other then. It's not shocking that they're close now, when you consider all of that. It's just about how it's turned from antagonism to, well, love. Which is another interesting bit about how close enemies are to lovers. It's not always about holding hands, kinda stuff.
I can hurt a demon!! That's right. I'm back. And I'm a BLOODY ANIMAL!

What kills me about the show is that Neil has more chemistry with just about any other actor - male and female - on the show than Kate. Including Moz AND Peter's wife.
I don't know what it is about Kate (is she just a bad actress?) but if you can't believably be in a passionate relationship with Neil, you are dead to me.

He's the new BBOC, only it stands for clay now, since the sculpting thing. Kate is just a bad actress. She has really unusual eyes, so I think that's why she was cast.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
OH! And I have to say, I was disappointed that the painting required a shirt. I don't think Neil wants to get his nice white undershirt all painty, do you? I mean, c'mon, people.
Yeah, he's total BBOC.
I like Kate's eyes, and I like looking at them, but yeah, there's nothing else there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm still distracted by the fact she looks so much like El. Why?
And by the fact that she sucks.
Huh. It occurs to me that this show is really light on blondes.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I thought that a lot too.
I thought maybe it was on purpose? For future conflict?
But then I remembered that was probably just my OT3 brain, and not in the writers' headspace at all.

There's a mention of that in the commentary for one of the early S1 episodes, in that others have mentioned it but that it was not intentional casting.

One of the upsides to being sick is checking out new TV shows. Fairly Legal is pretty fun. I hope it lasts.

Really? I find that actress kind of annoying, and I didn't change my impression from the previews.
