Link between white collar and suits

I was searching for actors that have worked on suits and white collar. In season 4 episode 12 Terrance Pratt played by Titus Welliver also played as Dominic barone in suits

Mozzy deserved better

I just finished the series. I have to say Neal letting Mozzy think he is dead is horrible. Mozzy was always there for him and losing Neal devastated Moz. and even in the reboot Neal can never make amends to Moz because the actor passed away. It really puts Neal in a not so flattering light imo.

Fun fact

I am now watching this show for the first time and am on S4E15 (the one with the dubois fake statues).

neal mentions the chicken sexers with the male and female chicks having no differences.

fun fact: I worked at a hatchery for two years and they actually sex them by the length of the "feathers/hair" the chicks have after hatching.

What happened to the treaure?

Spoiler We know mozzie stole the treasure and it was worth multi billions of dollars. Lets say 5 billion. Mozzie confirmed at the end of season 3 that he moved less then half of Neal's portion should he ever choose to claim it. The other 3 billion dollars worth they turned over to Keller in exchange for Elizabeth. Neal's portion they used so they could run away to the island in the beginning of season 4. Let's say that is $2 billion dollars. They pay dobs 50k a month for safehaven but was only on the island for less 6weeks so so that 100k maybe they bought a home on the island even if were being generous amd say its a 1million dollar home. (which it wasnt) When Neal is sent back to NY a few episodes later Mozzie returns and joins him. Neal asks about the treasure and Mozzie says its secured with some associates and we never about the treasure again. Fast forward to the demise of Teddy Winters and Mozzie is broke from all his real estate and dummy corporations attached to that name. However he can't really be broke as he still had the treasure.

Neals dark grey suit with a bordeaux striped shirt

Hey dear white collar fans, christmas is coming and I would like to buy my boyfriend a similar outfit to the one Neal Caffrey wore in one episode. He wears a dark grey suit with a striped shirt. The stripes are coloured bordeaux red/violet and white. But I can’t find the episode. Do you know which one it is? Or maybe you’ve got a photo of it? Any help is appreciated. Thank you :)

Neal

Am I the only one who finds it infuriating every time Neal lies to Peter. LIKE BRO. And every time he is caught easily. It pisses me off.

I didn't know Katanas were FBI standard issue

Caught this at the very end of season 5 episode 3, Neal and Peter are using novelty umbrellas that have handles in the shape of katana handles. I had one in college so it stuck out to me. I bet you they were on sale and the costume Department thought nobody would notice.

Revival plot

It may be obvious by the way things ended but I think the revival will basically follow his life after he escaped to Paris and much like how Peter hunted and found him in Cape Verde in season 4, he will find him again but Neal is in trouble with new competitors in France and/or somewhere in Europe.

Inconsistency about the treasure

Ok I’ve always thought it a bit weird that there’s such drama over the treasure, it was recovered and it’s not like anyone knew it existed anyway. They treated it like some huge crime. But it was ‘stolen’ from a Nazi submarine who plundered it in the first place. It didn’t bother me that much except I’ve just rewatched 5x04 - controlling interest where Neal quite OBVIOUSLY steals the 2 million that was recently stolen from a bank and Peter’s like ‘yeah whatever 🤷🏾‍♂️’

Make it make sense?

Is anything ever explained as to why the recovery of the treasure is SUCH a big crime. It’s not even a US crime it was stolen from the Russians right?

Found Young Mozzie in Central Park

So I decided to binge Friends after finishing White Collar (I work from home and usually always have something on in the background). Anyway I wasn’t even looking at the screen just focusing on work and then all of the sudden I hear Mozzie’s voice and I thought I had put the wrong show on.

Thoughts on 3x07 Taking Account?

Hi all, 1st time poster here. (Also, have never used the spoiler feature at all, so please excuse me if it's not working properly. Don't read on if you've never seen past this point of the show and don't want to be spoiled.)

I just started watching White Collar for the first time, and I'm loving the show so far. I finished Taking Account last night and felt this one episode really did a huge discredit to Neal and Moz's characters and reputation as some of the best conmen ever seen. Really curious what others think. For example:

  1. !Neal puts something as important as the Victor Moreau passport in a little space behind a small painting. The painting doesn't even lock! Shouldn't a conman of his caliber have a better, less obvious hiding place? !<

  2. !Moz is on his laptop watching the webstream of the treasure storage locker when Neal brings Sara over. Moz finds out she's going to be temporarily staying here since she has no money, is concerned she's going to cause them problems bc she's smart and observant, and....he just leaves the laptop there unattended for days?!<

  3. !The laptop isn't even locked so anyone who opens the lid can access all the contents like Sara did at the end?!<

  4. !And Neal KNOWS what Sara's stance towards the conning and stealing is and he just decides he's going to risk pulling up the livestream feed of the treasure that Peter is looking for while Sara is just sitting across from her at the table?!<

I can excuse #4 a bit as the showrunners >!trying to reference what happened at the beginning of the episode with Neal guessing Sara's bank PIN!< but everything else just seems like SUCH basic common sense things that I would expect guys of Neal and Moz's intelligence to avoid. Oh and let's not even mention how many times Moz and Neal are planning sneaky things and the door to the flat's just unlocked for anyone to walk in.

Do y'all think this is just sloppy writing? >!Writers trying to show how much Neal is wavering in his commitment to run?!< I'm just overthinking? Something else I've missed?

I don't know anyone else in real life who watches this show so curious to have a fun chat with fans in this sub!

Peter is insufferable in S5

The hypocrisy of blaming Neal for breaking the law, but not turning himself in. He keeps saying Neal is a criminal, when he has blatantly broken the law and used Neal’s criminal skills to solve cases and get good arrest numbers. And then he has the audacity to say to Jones - “Don’t take Neal as a CI - You will regret it!”. Uhh I wanna punch that asshole so hard in the face.

Rewatched season 6 finale question!!

How did no one notice Neal was saying his goodbyes??? When Neal says his goodbye to June it’s more emotional than normal. Giving Mozzie a keepsake from their first con together, the Queen card, was significant. Mozzie mentioned it to Peter at one point that he felt like Neal knew something was going on. Then Neal’s heartfelt goodbye with El and Peter. When he tells El that they are his family and he would do anything to protect Peter. I think he was dropping clues but it was so subtle that no one put it all together.

Trying to find what the name of this easel this is. Also, are the shelf and lamp optional/ custom add ons? Thank you so much for the help!

Too attractive women

Is it just me or do Elizabeth and Kate look almost exactly alike, and 90% of the female [guest] cast are like supermodel hot?

White Collar prequel?

I know a lot of people are excited about a reboot, I am too. But I really wish they'd also do a prequel of Neal and his life of crime. We saw that one episode where he was with Adler and then got caught, but throughout the show there's various lore bits of all these heists and people that Neal has met before getting caught. We could see Mozzie and him pulling cons throughout the world, stealing the Raphael, his first attempt at the music box with Alex, and how he met and partnered with Keller. Obviously ending with him getting caught on the bond forgery.

The only issue would be that it would be difficult to place Peter in the show, given that he chased Neal in the US and it's implied that he was coordinating with other agencies when Neal was abroad. I mean they can just break the lore and write-in that Peter got clearance to run with OIA and chase Neal around the world.

Thoughts?

Does anyone else feel the show improves towards the end?

I’ve always found white collar a rarity in that I enjoy it more as it continued. I’m on my 3rd watch through and that hasn’t changed.

I’ve read articles and other posts on here ranking earlier seasons as best, but… here’s the thing for me.

  1. The Kate love interest is hard to imagine as it’s never developed that much in the show, we find Neal heartbroken, but we don’t see much of them together so Neal’s obsession isn’t as emotionally connecting.

  2. There are a lot more standalone episodes in earlier seasons which are fun but I love the slow burns of the later seasons which are more like the epic shows of today.

  3. The increased strain and distrust interspersed with true love between Neal and Peter feels more fractured and thus more real in later seasons.

  4. People hate Rachel as a villain, I love her. I didn’t see the twist coming the first time, and it’s a huge twist if you’re not prepared. And I love the drama and the acting of the turmoil the characters have to face in the face of this

  5. It feels like there’s more history and emotional depth. Love turned war. Neal’s history and family, his relationship with his parents, WITSEC, how he became who he became. Neal risking everything to save Peter after he was framed.

Didn’t really like season 6 but that’s another story so I’m not including that (basically the whole idea of the panthers seems great but they are supposed to be the worlds greatest thieves and feel completely inept, and also they just allow Keller and Peter in when Neal had to jump through hoops to audition.

I’m wondering if anyone feels the same. Or is there something wrong with me.

What episode did Neal have a fake sheriff badge?

I’m making a white collar edit and I’m looking for the scene where Peter tells neal that his badge isn’t real and Peter laughs. Also if anyone has any ideas for any other scenes i should put in edits let me know.

Do yall remember the episode with Amy and the disk in season 6? Why couldn't Mozzie put the disk back after he figured it out in Peter house? I feel like that con was amateur work or bad writing they could've easily wrote something better.

Peter actually becomes annoying in season 3 and The treasure

I don't know how I never noticed this before (this is my 5 or 6 rewatch) and I find Peter annoying in season 3. His relentless and unyielding distrust and suspicion of Neil is so repetitive it becomes annoying. Neil didn't even steal the treasure Mozzie did. It's not like Neil was going to turn on Mozzie.
