[Season 5 Spoilers] Man, my heart really broke for Neal when...

Spoilers for Season 5!

That Rebecca reveal really killed me, I actually really loved her character, same as Neal did (the fact that Bridget Regan is a stone cold fox didn't hurt either).

I can only imagine the kind of betrayal he would've felt in that moment, and what makes it more tragic is in her own perverse way, I do think Rebecca/Rachel loved him too, especially as she was about to reveal her true identity to him, uninhibited, in that park sting. I'm kind of surprised he managed to hold it together in the future interactions after he found out the truth.

It also makes me wonder that if she was perhaps less murderous, and more of a "gentler" conman, would he have gone away with her? I suppose the most irredeemable action was poisoning Mozzie for Neal.

Thoughts?

Elizabeth's job?

Ok so I am watching this show for the first time, starting season 6 tonight, and one thing that is bothering me is Elizabeth's job. Maybe I am misremembering, or didn't understand what she did for a living in seasons 1-4, but wasn't she some sort of caterer or event planner early on, and then in season 5 she is now an art curator of sorts, as evidenced by S5 E5 "Master plan", where is acquires the Picasso for the family Neal is pretending to be a Butler for, and then gets job working for the museum in DC later in the season. I mean, it's stupid and doesn't really matter but still bothers me. Did I miss where they addressed this?

Edit: thanks for the replies. I am less annoyed now. You have all made me much happier lol I forgot that’s how Peter and her met. I guess I just saw the museum job as a job she had early on. I saw her more as the owner of her own event planning business, and then next think I know she is procuring a Picasso.

Are there any shows like white collar or suits?

I had watched suits when it began streaming on Netflix. Once it had ended, i started white collar to fill the void. I loved both and they’re easily in my top 3. Are there any shows that capture the same vibe or will fill the void?

Edit: I’ve already watched psych

Hpw wealthy is Neal actually?

So in S2 E14 mozzie and Neal both say that he's depleted his resources but I find that sort of hard to believe. Is that true?

Does anyone wish the fight between Neal and Peter in S4E9 should have lasted longer?

Rewatching it for the first time fourth time. When Neal finds out that Peter broke the pact and runs Sam’s name through FBI database, he is pretty pissed at end of S4E9. But this tension is resolved very quickly in S4E10.

I personally wish Peter was genuinely in the wrong here and he didn’t even apologise to Neal. And their relationship became okay really quickly. I would have loved some drama!

The Greatest Cake

Just noticing during a re-watch, but the name of Mozzie’s bakery purchased for Neal’s window jump escape in season 1’s “Freefall” is a apropos play on…

The Great Escape

I may be slow but it was a fun lil discovery on my second watch.

Mozzies Funeral

I truly hope they pay homage to mozzie bears funeral, most likely someone that got to moz, that Peter heard through the fbi and the news of his death, via the grape vine brought neal out of hiding. It’d be a hell of two episode special to start the new season.

Edit: just like in the early seasons trying to find Kate, they both work at times together but going their own ways to find out who killed moz. Rising the tension between their friendship, different paths. Just to see how far the rope can stretch before it breaks

And drew this. Need recommendations for more little blue things that have to do with the show to draw in between/quotes.

Which colognes would Neal Caffrey wear?

I’m really into fragrances and many times I like to imagine which fragrance(s) Neal would wear. I think something classy and a bit unisex like Silver Mountain Water or Millesime Imperial by Creed (the latter especially on the island). What are your guesses?

Big daddy Peter

Was surprised to find there's so many Peter haters on this sub. I for one absolutely love the character, and he's probably my favourite of the show. He's cool, calm and collected, and can always be relied upon to be an exceptional leader, whilst also doing the morally right thing.

Ford Scenes

I'm watching this for the first time and I know there are probably so many posts about this but.... the Ford Fusion product placement scenes are my favorite 😂😂😂

It is just so obvious its honestly hilarious. I'm near the end of season 2 and the whole "why does your car have a tree? because its a hybrid" dialog is so funny. Also when they deliberately show them answering the phone with the button on wheel or the navigation is insane....

Obviously season 1 with the whole blind spot detector was so bad it was good lol

Please tell me these continue or I might have to drop my rating of the show down by a star 😂😂😂

Just watch the pilot

This has to be one of the best pilots ever . Bear with me I know I am far back behind but I am so hooked on this show. The dynamic between Peter and Neal is so glaring.

Side note does Peter (sorry does Peter look like Walter White with hair and younger).

Anyways can’t wait to see how the series unfold

Convenient Clues

So I'm doing my long awaited rewatch and I'm noticing something funny about S1.

Every case has an almost too convenient break that let's Peter and Neal save the day in 45 minutes.

It's cute but it does get a little tiring lol

How did Sarah guess password to Neal’s laptop?

Just a little curious… Sarah guesses the password correctly to see the treasure which I believe was “DRAUPNIR” … does this word have any connection to the series? Or is it something like they lived together so Sarah knows Neal really well…?

Mentalist Crossover…

I’ve watched White Collar over and over and am always satisfied at the ending. Such a great show! Never needed more… until I started watching the Mentalist. And now ALL I can think of is HOW amazing a crossover of the two would be. Jane, Neil, and Moz would be fantastic in mischief, oozing with charm, and just plain hilarious together…

They MUST meet… how do we make this happen???? I don’t even care if it’s animated!

It would be cool if the reboot shows Neal shoes entering WC office while the camera goes up on him and everyone in the division look in shock 😲

Reboot/spinoff intro

So the original man show had a few intros throughout the seasons. There was like 3/4 used between seasons 1-3 before they stuck to the main theme for 4-6.

Personally I think they should use the season 3 intro that had the different portrait style photos of the characters. It gives an art/museum vibe.

I just can't wait for the new reboot of this series

I've recently finished this show and so bummed that it ended with such a short last season. However! There's confirmed news that the revival of this show is happening already!!!! Is anyone else really excited?

Baby Theo and baby Neal are named after Mozzie and Neal! Next generation con men?

Rewatching the show, again, and I just finished the episode where Diana has her baby, Theo. At the very end of the show, don’t they reveal that Peter and El named their child, Neal, after Neal Caffrey? I love how Neal and Mozzie had such a positive impact on “the suits” and vise versa!
