Did anyone watch the Southland season premiere?

You mean the finale? Just watched it. Funny how Ben McKenzie's characters keeps getting partnered with Coopers who have addiction issues. John being waaay more sympathetic, of course. God, when he patted that kid on the head who mimed shooting him? Broke me. And Ben staring at John across the chasm with blood running down his face? Chills with a side of gnuh.

I could get to dig the Ben/Sammy show. And I hope Lydia and Josie stay partners.

Season 3 of White Collar starts filming on Monday.

And does it start showing in my living room immediately? I ask you. Because it needs to. I cannot be without my White Collar.

I think I'm going to be rewatching the last couple of eps a few times. Especially the switching roles one, the one with making out, and the finale.

I got to hang out with John Rogers yesterday, and he's really in love with his job. He's so immersed in cons and heists, it's hysterical. And kinda blase about it by now too.

Lots of cool tales of true life inspirations and various heists like ATM scams and bits of his evil speeches of evil that the Network asked him to tone down, but were all from wiretaps. And heists they had to change to make sure no one could get away with duplicating them.

Fun times.

ita, I deeply envy you hanging out with John Rogers and talk about cons and heists. I have a mad crush on him. Though of course he won't answer, I Twitter-asked him when Colin would get to play a bad guy on Leverage. I bet he'd be awesome at it. Just, y'know, trying to plant the seed.

I'm scared of her and I know she's fictional.

Well, not so fictional. She's based on a similar real-life person from the region, though I don't know if she was quite as harsh with her children.

And I guess we know why Jeremy Davies' character has a pronounced limp now. Nggghhh!

She and Hailee Steinfeld could have a dialogue-off, because they both do it so well.

Indeed. I'm curious if she was one of the hundred who auditioned, because under different circumstances we could have easily seen a reverse of roles here. Or at least I can imagine it.

I so didn't need to know that.

I don't think Davies' limp is because of his mother.

Yeah, didn't we basically get told that Raylan is why he limps? We didn't get the backstory, just the allusion?

Yay for John Rogers and cons!

I dunno. When she whapped Coover on the leg before getting on to the serious hand damage, it got me wondering. I wouldn't be surprised if Raylan had been the reason for Davies' leg injury, but not necessarily the perpetrator.
