I finally got to watch White Collar and Suits!

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT

Spoilers for 2.10, Homoerotic Gratuitous Boxing FTW

1. I cannot believe my mum was right. She said Hardman planted the memo and I thought it was a ridiculous conspiracy theory and everyone else I mentioned it to thought it was a ridiculous conspiracy but she was right. My MOTHER gets an oh snap vindicated!

2. DONNA I MISSED YOU. Don't touch his balls! Bowties have no place here!

3. HAHAHAHA HARVEY. Do I get an oh-snap-vindicated for Harvey lighting up? I'm going to claim it. Especially since my fic about them getting high together was totally better. Or at least it was sexier.

3a. Oh my god stop talking about peeing in peoples' offices.

AND WHITE COLLAR.

NEAL IF YOU NEED TO FIND SAM I AM RIGHT HERE. WE CAN MEET AT THE BEAN. NAME YOUR TIME.

Spoilers for 4.06, I AM 229!

1. Tim DeKay is my hero. The suffering, confused, resigned tone of his voice when he asks why Mozzie would be mistaken for a dead revolutionary war spy made me laugh so hard. Also his growing enthusiasm as he figured out that this was HISTORY YAY was awesome.

2. The writing was a little disjointed on this episode -- I'm not sure how we got from "My parents were spies" to "my parents were the Culver spies". I think maybe some scenes got cut wrong. Also, Jeff Eastin has said that he often bases themes for his episodes around movies, and I hate to think that he's using National Treasure as the structure for a story, but....

3. I can't figure out which is better, that Neal IMMEDIATELY DEMANDED to see Mozzie's shadow puppet show like some kind of five year old, or that Mozzie promptly caved and PUT IT ON FOR HIM. (And kind of sad because in many ways Mozzie's imaginary story is Neal's actual story.)

3a. Vivian Maier shoutout! YEAH! AHAHAHAHA OH JONES. THOMAS JEFFERSON. How awesome are you, Jones.

Neal, bring Jones with you to the Bean. I want to give him a hug.

Yeah, that was my impression of this episode from the moment I saw the trailer the week before. Then they went all "Culper Ring" and "355" and I went to the Y: The Last Man place, and then I was inevitably disappointed because few 355s are going to be as good as that 355. *sigh*

Do we all get to invite our favourite fictional characters to local landmarks or do is it a rule that they have to be looking for our namesakes?

Apropos of nothing: 229, Upper Lynn Valley, get of at Peters St for the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge, cor blimey I miss public transportation.

I see no reason why we can't just randomly invite fictional characters to meet us! It would make life much more entertaining, being able to take them to tea occasionally.

(I have to admit I was hoping someone would anonymously comment with a random date and time.)

Did anyone else spit out their beer when Neal claimed "I cannot tell a lie"?

Haha, yeah that made me lawl a good long time. Thankful I was not trying to drink anything at the time ;)

I was busy laughing that he got to use George as an alias AGAIN :D

I started quietly revving up a squee when they begin using code numbers and went into full out bouncing squee when they said Culper Ring, then I had to explain why to my boyfriend who a) has never read Y: The Last Man and b) knows I'm not into Revolutionary War history, he's the buff and one-upon-a-time re-enactor, (but didn't know about the Culper Ring). I put my copy of Y in front of him asap, and I cannot understand why he didn't immediately begin reading.

That White Collar ep was nothing but fun! (and tonight's Leverage is going to be about the DB Cooper robbery) so I am one happy camper.

For reasons unknown I have failed to read your Three Things About Suits until now. Possibly cos I didn't start watching Season 1 until it was finished.

Point is, I spent my lunch break today catching up on your Three Things and I am posting to say that you echoed my thoughts in one of your S1 posts about how Mike being high was strangely accurate for TV (or some such, excuse the paraphrasing) which is actually what I was thinking yesterday when I watched ep10. Harvey and Mike weren't sitting there giggling like a bunch of n00bs, they functioned like normal human beings... who were kinda baked :p I also had a LMAO moment, turned to my partner and said "they totally just solved the whole season so far cos they're soooo high!"

Anywho /end ramble

I think Harvey and Mike were a tiny bit goofier than they actually would be, but on the other hand they're actively trying to blow off steam, so "trying too hard" does come into it :D

I felt like it was mostly Harvey pushing the goof a little too hard, which makes me wonder about PJA and his recreational activities.
