Yeah, it's a treat to see them playing brothers. I didn't recognize them at first, so adult!
I am thoroughly troubled by the Nazi looted art. The show is not addressing that at all which is leaving me entirely at a loss.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The crux of the show for me is the relationship and Neal being a good person.
He's, at heart, a good person and also in it for the thrills and being that much smarter / better / more charming. This season is boggling me.
I didn't even really think Satchmo sold me this ep.
Peter being all smart and giddy was fun but, eh, did they have to make it Nazi art? There's not a lot of quirky fun places to go once you bring up Nazis. You have to deal with the NAZI thing or there will be some harsh judging.
They got Godwin's on my happy, fun tv.

And I hated that they made the female agent such an idiot.
In all fairness, the men are stupid a lot. Especially when there's a pretty girl involved.
Also, I don't think that it's "Nazi art", it's art that the Nazis stole from other people. In Neal's eyes, it's just stolen merchandise, it's not like the Nazi dishes from last season.

Much more accurate way of describing it. But that's worse. If it was art by Nazis it might be in bad taste, but whatever. It is stolen art though. And not whimsically stolen by Neil Caffrey, stolen by the Nazis. It's so much worse to me.

Because books.
Most of them could never be returned to original owners by now, but so much of the art the Nazis looted is important. It needs to be in museums for the public to appreciate, because it's a whole piece of cultural history the Nazis stole.
I didn't even watch tonight, but I was surprised by the issue last week, and I don't like it much. All other valid reasons Neal is OOC aside, I really believed he had a respect for art beyond the money he could make.

I'm glad that they got to use Satchmo -- a dog in the plot is always cheery for me.

I still think that Neal is trying to come up with a way to not play that endgame and get the art back and somehow save Mozzie.
Does he have to say that is what he's doing?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Save Mozzie from what?
Does he have to say that is what he's doing?
Yes, pretty much.

The viewer has to have some clue that there's more to his plan, if there is. But they're not giving us that.
