Great Show


Finished a White Collar Marathon. Great show and cast. Just read all the posts on this site.
You guys have great insight and was very enjoyable.
Will talk about anything about the show. Please respond

What is your favorite episode? I have several that I like. Front Man from S1 is one of them. Glad you enjoyed this WC marathon. It really is my fav show of all time.

Went obsessed today looking for websites and blogs on show. Found a few. Somebody recommended Leverage has another good show. Watching first episode but not that crazy about it so far

Yes, I suggested Leverage. It is clever, but maybe not for everyone.
Re: White Collar, my fav's of Neal's gf's are Alex, with the chemistry imo through the roof, especially in Out of the Box & then watching him fall for Rebecca in S5. I didn't care for Sara as she was thrown in kind of too much during the story of Alex and Kate about the treasure/music box. I had wished they intro'd her slowly & then she could have returned in S3. Too dominating a character imo for Neal. A lot of ppl liked her, but equally a lot of people didn't.

Another fav episode is Countdown when Neal jumps off the building. So fun!
So many great episodes & really wish we could have a movie or something. Years later, after the finale.

I always thought the pilot alone could have been a feature length movie. Jeff Eastin did a good job with that.

All good episodes you mentioned.
Starting Season 3...again

You are right about Sara. Very dominant personality. Watch the ending again yesterday. Do you think Neal was doing further cons?
I don't think so. He has enough money just wanted to protect his loved ones from the Pink Panthers

It's always fun to chat with another White Collar fan! You know, I can't find a show on TV now that I became addicted to as much as this show. I love everything about this show: the casting, Manhattan, the way its filmed, the apartment with the wonderful view of the NYC skyline, and the chemistry btw the actors. Plus, there is no one as beautiful and charming as Neal Caffery (Matt Bomer)! I can't see anyone else play this character but Matt Bomer!
Personally, I always liked the episodes when Neal dealt with his past; whether that be with Keller, Fowler, Adler, Ellen, and his father James/Sam.
As for Neal's women, I really didn't care for Sara except the first episode Neal and Sara were in called "Unfinished Business". Neal hired to kill Sara, then Sara pretending to be dead and having to stay at the FBI. That was a fun episode. That said, I just really didn't see Sara right for Neal. As for Alex, I liked her but like Sara, she seemed a little too independent for him. Deep down I always believed Neal wanted to settle down and have a normal life. I really liked Neal with Amy,Sophie Covington, Rebecca Lowe, and of course Kate. Too bad none of these women worked out for Neal. I think these women would have been right for him given the chance.
I also liked to see the loving relationship btw Peter & Elizabeth. You don't see that in too many shows.
Mozzie, what can I say, is a one-of-a-kind! I absolutely love the episode called "The Dentist of Detroit". We get to see Mozzie's past at the orphanage and the teddy bear he's named after. Love the "fake" fight Peter & Neal have at the end of the episode.

But if I had to pick my favorite episode it would be "Forging Bonds". We see Neal, Mozzie,and the whole back story of how Neal became the infamous con man, thanks to Vincent Adler. How he met and fell in love with Kate Moreau. And how Peter managed to capture Neal.
Also, the pilot episode and the final episode have to be one of my all time favorites because its where everything started and ended. Au Revior is one of the best endings for a show I've seen in a long time!

I could go on, on, on, and on about this show!

Wrapping up Season 3 again. Saw some comments that people not happy with Peter/ Neal relationship. Neal was ready to take off with loot. Don't blame Peter. If the guy who stole the 60 Monthly from the Fed wasn't involved they would have taken off. Not nice on Neal's part.

Agree great show and great cast. Came on this board for nostalgia as Matt Bomer started another series The Last Tycoon on Amazon. Check out the pilot if you can. I can see that show giving me the same feels as White Collar. I saw that pilot and it made me nostalgic for White Collar!

Did you finish all the seasons? Which one was your favorite. Were you happy with the ending. I loved the ending. I loved that Neal was finally free. Free to live life as he pleases. And he got his freedom trying to keeps his friends safe.
