citrinesunsetI really enjoyed this episode. I felt it was another strong one, though it also made me a little sad.
- That's a big box for a fairly small doll....
- Yes, the NPR is a horrible totalitarian cult. Those villains!
- LOL at Neal asking if it's a voodoo doll. Don't give Mozzie ideas!
- Yeah, Mozzie is totally going to be Elizabeth's doula. Elizabeth doesn't need to spend her labor trying to keep Peter calm in the face of Mozzie-induced stress. :P
- Though, I really want to write a fic now about Mozzie legit working as a midwife or doula.
- Kinda odd how Peter seems to be laughing at the start of the scene. Is he amused by the thought of Keller as someone's CI?
- Wow. BMW product placement and GoPro product placement. That's impressive.
- When Keller asks Neal if he feels a "tingle" at the thought of working together, does he mean in the groin area? This season is really making me see Neal/Keller. Keller's acting like he has an annoying crush on Neal.
- Yeah, I don't think Keller is capable of making himself seem charming. He's slimy to the core.
- Neal, on the other hand, is very good at playing charming. It's actually a little unnerving to see how good he is at presenting himself as perfect boyfriend material. It's not that Neal isn't charming and sweet when he's not conning people, but there's a difference between how he presents himself with, say, Sara or Kate and how he presents himself to Amy. He's very attractive doing it, but there's also something a little unsettling about how he's able to tailor himself into a particular woman's dream guy on the spur of the moment.
- Yay! Baby Theo!
- "Shut your mouth, Matthew." LOL. I like Luc shutting Keller down.
- "I've brought a lightsaber to a knife fight." Heh.
- Not sure what I think of Luc Renaud. I mean, he's a shady guy and I think there's more to him than meets the eye. But I also enjoy him as a character. I love his confusion at the massive, outdated floppy disk.
- Neal as a chef is cool. And totally convincing.
- I also love Neal and Amy's chemistry. And I really like Amy--she's cool and genuine. It's sad, though, because this obviously can't turn out well. Even if Neal stopped conning her now, what's the best that could happen? Eventually, he would need to tell her the truth about his criminal past and his work with the FBI.
- Though, I think being a chef could totally be a viable post-anklet career for Neal. And it's a career where he might not face as many barriers due to his criminal history.
- I don't think June is as good at cockblocking as Mozzie is. She's too nice and likable. And even she ships Neal and Amy!
- LOL at Mozzie calling Luc "Le Suit."
- Poor Mozzie's faith in the world is shaken. If he can't trust a Frenchman to share his love of wine, what can he trust in? Also, I don't think Mozzie trusts anyone who doesn't appreciate wine. :P
- Wait, Keller's allowed to have a gun? And use it on innocent civilians? This isn't good....
- Why does he immediately let Amy know that Neal's in on the con? Spite?
- I'm glad that Neal is able to work out a way to keep Amy out of trouble. But it's still a sad ending. I'm glad Amy kept her integrity, but this whole thing really hurt her and shook her faith in people.
- So, what's going on with Luc, exactly? And why didn't Peter check him out earlier?
- Some ominous words from Keller. It's hard to tell how honest he's being, here. On the one hand, Keller isn't trustworthy, and he's going to do what he can to mess with Neal's head. On the other hand, the possibility of the Panthers taking out revenge after being arrested seems like a valid thing to worry about. And I don't think Neal has shown much sign of thinking this plan through much (except for his cryptic comments in the premiere about what he's really after).
- I'm sad to have to wait two weeks for the next episode, but I'm also happy to have the final season drawn out a bit....

Date: 2014-11-21 09:01 am (UTC)Honestly, I don't want any endings such as Neal faking his death or Neal leaving because he has to as opposted to wants to. But right now, the show isn't giving me many ideas to a more optimistic ending.
It's funny in a way. I really love this season in a way I haven't enjoyed the show for a while, and yet there is still the feeling of impeeding doom... but the ride is so good, I couldn't stop watching even if I wanted. And yet, the dark side of my brain is whispering: "Borrowed time. Enjoy it while it lasts."
Just... please don't let me down, show?

Date: 2014-12-01 09:15 am (UTC)I see Keller as feeling like he doesn't have a lot to lose, so I could see him agreeing to help take down the Panthers even if he genuinely believes it could lead to his destruction. Unlike Neal, I think Keller's the type of guy who'd be more willing to sever ties and run off somewhere. And it's not like there's any indication that he has people he cares about....
I'm holding out hope for an optimistic ending for Neal, though.
I hear you, though. I'm really enjoying the season so far, but since there's not going to be any more after this, I really want them to end it well!

Date: 2014-11-22 02:02 am (UTC)He so does!! I think it UST on Keller's part for Neal. I imagine them having a short but intense friendship. Keller wanted them to be more then friends but then Neal saw him for the thug that he is and left. Keller is also extremely jealous of Mozzie & Peter.
Of course that want it has always been about!! If Keller can't have Neal then no one else should.
With Keller being such a slimy guy, what did Neal ever see in him in to make him think they could be friends?
