White Collar [* Spoilers *]

Another hit for the network????

Quote:
White Collar is about the unlikely partnership of a con artist and an FBI agent who have been playing cat and mouse for years. Neal Caffrey a charming criminal mastermind, is finally caught by his nemesis, FBI Agent Peter Burke. When Neal escapes from a maximum-security prison to find his long-lost love, Peter nabs him once again. Rather than returning to jail, Neal suggests an alternate plan: He'll provide his criminal expertise to assist the Feds in catching other elusive criminals in exchange for his eventual freedom. Initially wary, Peter quickly finds that Neal provides insight and intuition that can't be found on the right side of the law.

Sounds like it could be fun.
Tiffani Thiessen though? Seriously?

The trailer that was released a few months back looks kind of cheesy, but I'll check it out anyway. I loved Matt Bomer on Tru Calling & Chuck

I liked it alot. Made me laugh in places, and it was good fun. Closer to Leverage than Burn Notice I think. The back story with the girlfriend is a bit weak though. Might have been better if he had to unravel some sort of conspiracy that dropped him in prison in the first place.

I'll be sticking with this one anyway....

Really enjoyed it - the two leads work well together. Agree that it is closer to Leverage than Burn Notice but in my book, that's a good thing anyway . The whole girlfriend thing might turn out to be more than it seems, it already is obvious that it is not just his girlfriend dumping him, there's more to it.

We're five episodes in....what do you think?, pilot was great but the next 3 were weak...latest one introduced Kate proper, not sure what the hell that is all about, but i like the husband a wife couple aka Tiffani Theisen and yer FBI man....they make a good couple, not dysfunctional or cheating on each other.

Last ep. was kinda funny in the hotel room with the two girls tryna get yer FBI man to get jiggy. Overall....not a great series.

Yeah I agree, its kind of fizzled out for me too. The silly chain of clues to Kate made no sense. If she is being held by someone against her will, surely it would have made more sense for her or her 'kidnappers' to just call Neal 5 weeks ago when he got out of prison.

2 more episodes to go before a 2 month break.

Woah!....didn't see that midseason finale ending coming! Spoiler: Peter kidnapped Kate?, he looked all menacing in that chair, is he a bad guy then or is he simply using Kate to get something from Neil?, apparently he's got stuff stashed away from his crime days, maybe Neil has something Peter wants and is using Kate?

Really good ending, shocker!....that ending made me wanna see more eps. now to see how that plotpoint plays out.
