Back to Work Monday - It Always Pays to Look Good when Meeting with a Kidnapper

Peter and Neal Suit Up, Keller's Lost the Tie, and Moz Isn't Even Trying

Casual Friday - Peter and Neal Lose the Suits

Peter loses the suit, and Neal's lost a little blood.  I think I've lost my mind - those forearms!

The Boston Marathon

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone impacted by this despicable act of terror (whether its originator was domestic or foreign), and to the city of Boston itself. And we thank and appreciate all the first responders, and everyone who is working to save lives there.

Back to Work Monday - Peter and Neal Suit Up

Apparently neither Peter nor Neal can believe it's Monday again.

Casual Fridays - Neal Loses the Suit

Nothing like a little blue-eye'd action when Neal's making some art

Back To Work Monday - Peter Suits Up

Peter suits up to catch a thief.  He also looks terrific in blue.

Semi-Casual Friday - Neal Strips Down, Peter Keeps the Suit

As if we needed the excuse that it's Friday to enjoy sweaty Neal in a revealing tank top.  Poor Peter looks way too hot, though.

Many thanks to Kanarek13 for the lovely cap.

Back-To-Work Monday - Neal in a Tux

It's Monday and Neal's got a gun pointed at his head.  So what else is new?

HAPPY EASTER!

Peter and Neal questioning a priest on the finer theological points of the holiday.

Wishing all who celebrate a joyous Easter!

How to include slash-fic potential in your White Collar rip off

This hilarious video will show you how it's done. (Warning for some mature puns & innuendos!)

We Have a Start Date For Season 5 Filming

According to Tim DeKay, who really should know these things, filming will start on May 10th!  With any luck, it may actually stop snowing here in New York by then.

Happy Passover!

Neal tries to get through a Seder with his father at Chez Burke.

Remember, the four cups of wine make it easier to bear with even the most difficult relatives!

Casual Friday - Nearly Naked Peter and Neal

Despite the guy with the bowtie in the middle, you can't get more casual than Nearly Naked Peter and Neal

Back To Work Monday - Peter, Neal and Jones Suit Up, Moz...

Signal Boost: Community Rewatch Tonight - White Collar 1.01 - PILOT!

Neal is very puzzled by the long hiatus and wants something to do on Tuesday nights, too

Tonight at 9:30 EDT/6:30 PDT (1:30 AM Wed GMT for the Europeans who don't sleep), you are all welcome to join in the community rewatch of Pilot at the White Collar Writers' Union on LiveJournal.  We thought it would be a terrific way to spend Tuesday nights until the new episodes start to air.

How it works:  At the specified start time, you launch your copy of Pilot (your DVDs, from Netflix, your copy on your computer), and you chat along with your fellow fans.

Who can participate:  You don't have to be a member of the Writers' Union or even have a LiveJournal account.  There is a chat widget that lets you sign in with a user name of your choice.

The chat widget is on a "sticky" post, so when you go to the Writers' Union journal, it will be the first entry you see.  However, the chat is NOT compatible with Firefox or other Mozilla-based browsers (it does work with IE, Chrome and Safari, I've not tested it with Opera).

It's going to be a lot of fun and the more, the merrier.

Back-To-Work Monday - Two Men in Suits, Only One Gets to Go to Work

Peter meets Reese for coffee and some information.  This day will not end well for one of them.

Rabid Squee: In the Wind

Bed head and a little tongue action?
Be still my heart.

What an exciting final episode for Season 4, yes? On to the Squee without further ado…

Matt Bomer Really Hit it Out of the Park: I’ve said before how wonderfully subtle he can be as an actor, but in this episode he really brought that home in the big moments too. The vulnerability he shows in the opening scene with Treat Williams is so real, it nearly broke my heart to see the hope he puts into Neal's eyes that he might finally get the relationship with his father he’s always longed for. Then, in the proposal scene – cripes, he was so earnest and sincere, I wonder how Hilarie Burton didn’t just break character and accept that proposal right there and then (not that either her or Matt’s partners would be all that thrilled by the idea, LOL).

Jeff Eastin Talks About Season Five (Spoilers)

Jeff Eastin

Jeff Eastin talks about what he's planning for Season Five in this interview with the Hollywood Reporter. It's given me hope that Sara might return--and, more importantly, he has some intriguing things to say about where he'd like to take Peter and Neal's relationship:

"For me, being able to move the dynamics of the two guys back to something closer to the pilot, where Peter is more the taskmaster and Neal is trying his best to be good when the circumstances around him aren't allowing him to do that."

I'm torn! On the one hand, I love that aspect of their relationship--it's exactly what drew me to the show in the first place. On the other, I've liked the fact that the two men have seemed to have grow more equal in this past season. So I'm going to reserve judgment for a while . . .
