lol, I didn't know that....but I never really paid too much attention to the actual season beginnings and ends. I just watch when they are on and dont when they are not. xP

Ugh. I cannot wait for it! Hurry up and be January! XD

Twethereal 12-13-2010 09:31 PM

I watch all of USA's shows because I think the writers for all of them are fantastic.
While Psych is still my favorite USA show (and my favorite show of all time for that matter), White Collar still rates a really high second. They had me from the first episode. The relationship between Neal and Peter is one of the best written that I've ever seen and is the reason that I look forward to each episode. I can't wait until it starts back up in January.

Cherry Who? 12-14-2010 04:51 AM

I like most of USA's shows too. Although I'll admit that I really dislike Psyche... But anyway, yeah, I like the dynamic between Neal and Peter. If you tried to describe it to someone it would sound lame and hokey, bit the writers pull it off. In fact... the whole premise of White Collar sounds pretty cliche (ex-con now working for the feds), but they do it really well.

Burn Notice is my second favorite for USA. Royal Pains, I like, but it's a little weak.

monstahh` 12-14-2010 12:07 PM

I can't really get into Royal Pains...I much prefer White Collar, In Plain Sight and Psych. :drool:

But White Collar is definitely me and the bf's favorite show to watch together.
We both agreed we'd be pissed if [spoiler]Mozzie is dead.[/spoiler]

My cable summer schedule consisted of White Collar, Burn Notice, Covert Affairs, and then scooting across the dial for Rizzoli & Isles.

multi-spoilersX

It was kind of a head-trip, because somebody got shot in the "finales" of all of them.

Cherry Who? 12-15-2010 07:46 AM

Monstahh - Don't worry, I don't think that'd happen. See below.

SPOILERX

Mozzie is the lovable character. Sort of this show's equivalent of comedic relief. Like the main character, that character will most likely never be killed because it would irritate too many fans who grew attached to them. Instead they just jerk at your heart strings by making you think they'll be killed. :lol:

Of course, there's always exceptions, but they're pretty rare. White Collar is a great show, but it's still a little light-hearted, so I don't think that sort of thing is going to happen.


Though, honestly, TV's more fun before you recognize those patterns. :(

Saisei - ... Whooooaaa. :lol: Of those, I only watch White Collar and Burn Notice, so I didn't notice the pattern because they ended at different times. But... wow. :lol:

Cora 12-17-2010 06:24 PM

@Cherry- good logic

but you made a valid point....TV is more fun before you know the patterns.

No one got shot in Season One. But someone did go KA-BOOM! XD

Who else saw the new season's first episode and is kindof disappointed with it? :sweat:
It was kindof a let down. I felt like some of the characters were a bit out of character, and it was just all over the place, and it all felt like there was too little actual substance to the episode, and that it was mostly filler.

kurisu89 01-20-2011 03:38 AM

i love this show!!! im so glad mozies not dead!!! ;A; i was so freaked at the end of the last season!!! oh and matt bomer is hawt~ ;)

monstahh` 01-20-2011 05:28 AM

SPOILERX

I was going to stop watching the show if Mozie was dead. :x
Me and the bf felt the same. :illgetu:
Moz = :heart:

Cherry Who? 01-20-2011 05:47 AM

Ooh, yay, did it start back up? I'll try not to be scared by monstahh's impression of it. :lol: To hulu!

I actually liked it.

Although it does bother me a bit that the big bad guy is someone, correct me if I'm wrong, that we've never heard of before. And I'm supposed to be shocked why exactly?

Saisei 01-22-2011 08:00 PM

I don't think they were going for shocking. It was more of a vehicle for them to do a one or two episode origin piece on Neal, plus introduce a new villain that they can cliffhang when the season ends properly after this little five-episode bridge.

Wavi 01-24-2011 02:33 AM

I actually enjoyed the episode that aired last week. I thought it had all the usual charm plus a little bit of danger. Although, I will add the beginning was a tad underplayed. It almost made the stopping point of the previous episode seem far less terrifying.

I will admit, I found Burke on a horse to be enjoyable. I also liked how Neal was behaving himself; jail-Neal is never any fun. Wild and free Neal is wayyyy more spontaneous. :D

Yeah, I guess I was most disappointed, because I didn't feel the normal "shock" and excitement I've come to know this show for.
I've watched it again, and it's not as bad as I initially felt, but...I still am disappointed. xD

SaiSei - Yeah, perhaps. But, I still feel like as a season intro, I guess, it should have been more exciting. xD;;;;
It doesn't draw me back into the show.
Especially not after that season finale. D: !

Caeylanna 01-27-2011 10:46 PM

I watched it early on it was good for a while but now I do not watch it.

Wavi 01-28-2011 03:09 AM

How did you stop!? I'm like... addicted to it. X3

That's because you're going into it with the wrong attitude. This isn't a season "intro." It's actually a continuation of last season, and the last episode of this little 5-episode bridge will be the finale. The new season starts this summer. The Mozzie thing was just a cliffhanger leading up to these last few episodes.

USA did the same thing with Burn Notice to very good effect, and they're doing it with Royal Pains, too.

Cora 01-31-2011 02:18 PM

Leverage as well did the same thing I do believe.

Saisei 02-01-2011 02:25 PM

Yeah, except TNT just ran what basically boiled down to two episodes of Leverage, so it was a lot shorter than what USA is doing.

I wish TNT would've done that with Rizzoli and Isles, too, but that's another topic entirely.

Cora 02-02-2011 09:05 PM

I think the after split was just 3 episodes in the US.

The Christmas episode....and the two episodes on Monroe.

Saisei 02-03-2011 02:40 AM

Yeah, but the Moreau episodes were back-to-back, basically making them one long episode, so I was just calling it two.

We are seriously digressing from the point of the topic, however.

Does anyone think Neal was telling the truth about his father at the end of yesterday's episode?
