the beauty of early 2000s shows is that they just... stuck to the bit. You watch this show to see a neurodiverent man solve crime with his best friend, you will get that for 8 seasons. We said this show would be about an ex-spy and his employer who built an AI and the people they save. They will do it even when they admit in the show it makes no sense because that's what you signed up for. Leverage commited so much that they got a modern version that still does the same thing instead of being 6 episode seasons about one big con.
I miss "filler" episodes, but they aren't filler because that's what you signed up for! that's why you watch the show! to see them do the thing you started watching the show for!

i really love a lot of the themes in white collar. like im sure they werent thinking 'hey lets write a story with themes around disability and some adults needing caretakers focusing on mental health and addiction especially how adults with mental disabilities or histories of trauma are at higher risk of addiction and relapse and normalize supporting those individuals and their road to recovery. throughout that journey giving the person unconditional love while they make mistakes and not faulting them as a person or discarding them as a strong and intellectual person' BUT THEY DID AND THEY DID IT WELL. they never even jab at neal in ways shows that try to explore these themes do. they never dismiss neals trauma by calling them daddy issues or mommy issues they say more explicitly that neal had a unstable home environment and needs help relearning base instincts taught to him. THEY DONT BLAME AND HUMILIATE HIM FOR WHAT HIS PARENTS WERE LIKE THEY NEVER DISMISS IT. they never make neal seem incapable for his lack of impulse control they say it like it is- hes someone who is trying to do the right thing and needs help being shown what that looks like at times. ive never really seen a show where a relationship with one adult taking care of another adult and being responsible for them is normalized. the team never treats their dinamic as strange or embarrassing for either of them. thats neal and thats peter. peter is responsible for neal and helps him in a lot of ways. its normal. that's great.

Can we just talk about the fact that Neal implicitly trusts Peter from the very start?
I know I mentioned this in my other post but it's been plaguing my mind and it warrants its own post.
Peter is an FBI Agent. Not only that, he's the FBI Agent who took Neal down. He tracked him for years, arrested him, got him convicted of bond forgery, and got him locked up in a supermax prison for four years.
By all accounts, Neal shouldn't trust this man. He has no reason to.
And yet
Tumblr media
From their very first on screen interaction together, it's absolutely clear that Neal does trust Peter, completely. His body language and posture don't change at all when Peter finds him sitting in Kate's empty apartment. He doesn't tense. He doesn't try to run. He remains sitting on the floor and calmly keeps talking to Peter like he's an old friend.
Before Neal even asks for his deal. Before they start working together. Their whole history up to this point is their cat and mouse game and Peter trying to catch Neal, and yet Neal already trusts him. Enough to stay completely relaxed when Peter comes to arrest him. Enough to ask him to hold on to the bottle, his last connection to Kate. Enough to ask Peter to keep him under his custody so he can get out of prison.
Tumblr media
That's a lot of trust for a man who put him in prison in the first place.
I don't know if I have a point here, I'm just rambling, but don't even get me started on Peter's trust in this scene.
He walks in to arrest Neal, alone, and is completely casual about it. He never once draws his weapon, he just knows that Neal is nonviolent and doesn't like guns. He trusts that hasn't changed in the nearly four years he's been in prison. Peter asks if he's carrying, but he didn't need to ask because "You know I don't like guns." When else is an FBI Agent going to go in, alone, to apprehend a fugitive completely unarmed? Okay not technically unarmed he had his gun on him but drawing it was never even a thought in his mind.
I can't with these two and how much they trust each other despite their history.
Once again many thanks to @tocappuccinosintheclouds for the gifs! (and for always letting me yap about these two) ❤️ You're wonderful and I'm so glad this show has put you in my life!

If nothing else, he will be taking me on a NICE vacation
If I found out my reformed criminal boyfriend secretly had billions of dollars tucked away in a warehouse somewhere, i would simply close the laptop and pretend that i had no idea. Rip to sara but i’m just different

Parker using the name ‘Marta Cabrera’ to con a man who exploits and abuses the poor and the immigrants and children for profit. Marta Cabrera, the same name for the poor immigrant who was pushed around and intimidated and harassed and lied to by an entitled rich white family for a fortune they didn’t deserve in a story about justice and worth and what people do to take what they think they deserve. Man I love this show so much

The friends that are chronically 30 minutes late are so important to have because they teach u patience and the meaning of loving someone so much u let ur anger go. I have not mastered either yet but I’m sure it’s coming

I know people are mad about the how to train your dragon movie bc “if it’s shot for shot, why would I not just watch the original?” this is a valid question and I will always love the original. But also the director and producer of the original loved it so much, he wanted to do it again. He wanted to bring it to life in a different way. He didn’t change the story; you could tell there was a deep love for all of the characters, and!! other characters got fleshed out a bit!!! I sat there and still got chills and laughed and cried!! even though I knew what was going to happen! And maybe it is a “blatant cash grab” but that doesn’t mean it isn’t good or powerful. It’s not a good remake because it’s shot for shot. It’s a good remake because everyone involved cared so deeply about every single part of it and it showed.
