Let's Shake some Squee ! 5x05 - Master Plan

[aragarna]

Could there be a better way to start an episode?

Or a better way to end it....

In between we were served by the 50 shades of Peter Burke...

Or when the show plays fanfiction again! Poor baby....
Which also means that Tim managed the tour de force to be mega-sexy, then totally not, then mega-sexy again, in one episode. And I LOLed each time he swallowed that magic stuff from Mozzie.

Oh, but they also had a case this week. Which means they're working on their closure rate again :-) Though despite their case load, they take El's in priority. Because no one can say no to Elizabeth, so now that her husband is the one making the calls, she is sure to have her cases solved. Especially when she uses Neal as the middle man...

Which leads us to Neal as the butler !! Too bad they didn't go for "the butler did it!"

My theory on Neal is that his major skill is being a brilliant study like he mentioned (I like when characters confirm my own theories. :-) ). He observes and imitates. So he can basically reproduce anything he's seen done at least one. He doesn't who he is, so he can be anyone (I remember a case like that in House. Though I hope for Neal he doesn't have one of those crazy syndroms from House...)

Neal also drives a Rolls Royce AND the BMW. In one episode. We hadn't seen that little radiator cap since the pilot ! :-)

Meanwhile, Mozzie continue his own fashion show. And for once is concerned by a real issue! Mozzie, environmental activist!

Badass Jones is taking matter in his hands, and even kicks Peter out of the conference room!

And participating to the bike chase! Morphing into a car chase! So much action it could almost look like NCIS LA (kidding)

I miss Diana, but I like that we're seeing more Jones.

Also, we got news from Satchmo!

And the van !!

Oh and obviously, Peter didn't waste his time in prison. He spent a lot of time in the yard, excercizing. Which explains the tan lines and the great shape. :-)

Oh, and kanarek13 and nieseryjna, what did you think of that Polish accent?

Mozzie is definitely the darling of the wardrobe department this season.

I loved Neal's quip about 'On Golden Pond' for those of us old enough to remember it!

And as for the Peter's (lack of) coverage, rinse and repeat, please!

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

And for us too young, could you explain the reference?

[scarym1.livejournal.com]

"ON GOLDEN POND" is a movie from 1981 starring Henry Fonda, Jane Fonda & Katherine Hepburn.

I was 18 when I saw it in 1981, so I think Neal was implying that Mozzie sort of looked like Henry Fonda. Now that I think about it, I think this reference is a bit too old for Neal since he may not have been born when it was first released.

I absolutely LOLed the Polish accent, both in idea and execution. Tim did his part beautifully and it was lot's of fun to hear that, but I'm not really sure that it was Polish accent at all ;) Maybe Kanarek will be able to confirm, cos for me it still sounded Russian :P

Anyway it was a cool gift for fans in Poland :)

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Russian? Not that far... ;-) I mean, at least it sounded "something".
Though I have to say, I didn't get the feeling that it sounded like you or Kanarek...

[nieseryjna.livejournal.com]

I admit I'm a bad reference for Polish accent in English as several people told me I don't have one, well not clear Polish one. Maybe we are exceptions wit Kanarek :P

Yeah Russian is close enough so "something" works or me :P

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

I'm very bad at identifying the specificity of an accent, but most of the time, I find that people with common accents sound the same to me. And your way to speak English does sound like Kanarek's. So, I don't know if it's really Polish, but Tim's accent didn't remind me of yours... ;-)

Though, it's kind of weird because Tim has his very own particular pronounciation and I'm so used to it, that he sounded more "TDK" than anything else.

[nieseryjna.livejournal.com]

Peter played TDK!! ;) Instead of TDK playing Peter... damn that does sound like fanfic..

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

LOL It's RC's big bang story!

[nieseryjna.livejournal.com]

Hmm maybe RC is secretly Jeff Eastin... or the crew of WC writers read too many fanfictions... hmm it seems the latter this season

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

lol yes, the latter I agree!

[leesa_perrie]

Lots to love in this episode, not least Mozzie the beekeeper! *g* I love the way Jones kicks Peter out of the conference room and then tells him to go home! Ah, work-a-holic Peter, the germs you are spreading won't make you any friends! (Btw, Mozzie's lost his germophobia in light of a potential money-making cure, I see!!)

Butler Neal! Loved him, and your theory seems sound to me about his ability to copy people so quickly - a great skill for a conman, indeed!

Satchmo on the couch with sick!Peter!! Awwwww!! *pets Satch*

I have a feeling Jeff Eastin read some fanfic before writing this season... yay! :)

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

You're right about Mozzie !
Maybe after his midwife experience, he feels he can brave anything! ;-)

[leesa_perrie]

Probably!! :) Thing with Mozzie is, you can find lots of reasons why and they'll all sound perfectly plausible 'cos he's so, you know, Mozzie!! :) :)

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

LOL true ! :-)

[sholio]

This episode was soooo much fun! :D (Although poor Peter. He looks so miserable throughout most of the episode!)

Lots of wonderful little character moments in this one; wheeeee. :)

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Yes! And it felt good to have an angst-free arc-free episode. :-)

[scarym1.livejournal.com]

I watch this ep again today. I never thought seeing someone (Poor Peter) with the flu could be so amusing. I agree that Tim was amazing going from mega Sick to Mega SEXY. : ) : )

As for Neal, I just love a man in Uniform.

My theory on Neal is that his major skill is being a brilliant study like he mentioned (I like when characters confirm my own theories. :-) ). He observes and imitates. So he can basically reproduce anything he's seen done at least one. He doesn't who he is, so he can be anyone

I love your theory on NEAL! He has spent so much time pretending to be other people that he doesn't know how to be just himself.

Thanks for sharing the Awesome pics.

I never thought seeing someone (Poor Peter) with the flu could be so amusing.

ahahah yes. Even the most gross moments, I couldn't help but laugh. Poor Peter's face was priceless!

[pipilj.livejournal.com]

It was a lovely episode. I loved how skeptical Peter looked when he had Mozzie's med for the first time, with Mozzie monitoring the reaction closely. Part of me was hoping for Jekyll and Hyde moment or some sort of transformation. :)

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

LOL yes, and it must taste weird because Peter made a strange face each time he swallowed a dose!

[treonb.livejournal.com]

This was such a fun episode. El doing detective work and calling Neal which makes me wonder how many times Neal has pulled that con. And later Neal enjoying getting Peter to work undercover, and Peter's "I can't do Croatian". Neal's whole buttling routine and helping Bea out, and Mozzie experimenting on Peter and not even hiding it!
