citrinesunsetI had an exam today, so I haven't really gotten a chance to reflect on this episode much, or read other people's reactions, until now.
- LOL at Neal getting picked up by the NYPD.
- Don't know why Neal is initially so determined to watch the tape with Sam. He can't just watch it with Sam at a later time?
- I totally missed the fact that Mozzie basically snubbed Alex out of the u-boat treasure. And now I can't remember if that was acknowledged in season three or not.
- Interesting about Alex being in a Greek prison. If I'm imagining the time frame right, I'm assuming she was there for most of season three.
- Okay, is it just me, or is Neal's voice a big huskier than usual during some points in this episode? Maybe I'm imagining it.
- I like Alex's hair.
- I love Mozzie's gift to the Burkes. You can count on Mozzie to come up with interesting presents. I wonder how he got it into their yard in the first place. Elizabeth doesn't seem much happier with it than Peter does -- she doesn't even wait for Mozzie to leave before she starts asking about a crane to move it.
- Mozzie is totally becoming more like Neal, twisting the law to suit his purposes. I love how he tries to give Peter excuses to snoop in Alex's suite.
- Peter and Mozzie make such a fun team. Even when they're going behind Neal's back.
- I love how Peter glares at that ring-shaped sculpture/lamp/whatever it is in the suite. It totally reminds him of Mozzie's lawn ornament.
- I sympathize with Neal being unhappy about Peter and Mozzie going behind his back. But they're talking sense -- Sam should not be trusted too easily.
- Yes! I'm glad Neal actually involved Peter in his plan to clear Alex. It made sense to do so, and I would have been annoyed if he went behind Peter's back again so soon.
- Love Neal's disguise. And that he actually does the art piece even though he doesn't have to in order to pull off the heist. Neal can really be a showman sometimes.
- Neal's ego takes a bit of a blow in this episode. The season started out with him being one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives, and now he's spending time in holding cells with shopping cart thieves.
- I think Peter might have a bit too much time on his hands if he's checking other people's horoscopes in his car. Now I'm picturing him randomly checking all his friends' and coworkers' horoscopes just for kicks. But I can't judge, because I did that back when I was 16 or so.
- And it's dumb, but I'm excited to know Neal's birth date. I like knowing details like that.
- Though, honestly, this is one of the sillier bits of Taurus product-placement I've seen on the show. If I were thinking of buying a car, I think being able to check my horoscope while I drive would be my least concern.
- But at least the recurring Peter/Ford Taurus thing is consistent and a little charming. And not overly obtrusive as a rule. I've seen far worse product-placement on shows before. Like the time Fringe was pushing some phone that made video calls, and suddenly all the characters were video-calling each other, but only for one episode.
- It's not terribly surprising that Alex was the one who arranged for the police to show up the second time. I mean, I got the sense that it was pretty well-established that she gave them the tip the first time.
- I like that Alex ended up getting the upper hand.
- Ugh. Of course they end the episode before we see what's on the tape. I hope the reveal isn't that the betamax is too old to play. I have trouble getting some of my VHS tapes to work, so I'm naturally skeptical of old tapes.
- Overall, I liked this episode. It's good to see Alex again.
