Ok, my turn.
I've read "a few" posts and comments about the 2 opening episodes of season 4. And while I do admit the nit-picks are valid, and plot-holes exist, to tell you the truth, I don't care. - Wait, there was one thing that did bother me: the Spanish/Portuguese confusion. It drives me crazy, because it's the kind of mistake so common on US tv and films....
Anyway, that was not my point. My point was, I don't care. I could argue a few points, but I don't care. Because my boys are back and that felt sooooo good !
I mean, seriously, it was like I realized that, without White Collar, I felt so much like Peter without Neal.... But finally, here they were, back for new adventures ! Whatever happened, it didn't matter, I felt the whole time like Peter when he hears, then sees Neal again... If only I could have hugged them... I would have.
And for our reunion, they offered the perfect cocktail of sexiness, tribulations and emotions !
One of the main reasons why I love White Collar is the way they explore the character's psyche. And once again, the writers and the actors did a wonderful job...
You know, when I was a kid, my favorite book was The Three Musketeers (and its 2 sequels). It was written in the 19th century and back then, the word "bromance" had not yet been invented. But today it is, and now I can finally sum-up that big trilogy in a simple sentence: This is a bromance story.
Peter and Neal, to that respect, remind me so much of the 4 heroes of my youth. They are not always on the same side, they are not always in the same library. But they would switch side and move Heaven and Earth for each other.
Now I understand it, I've always loved bromance. This, is why I love White Collar.

But I also do feel that this double premiere wasn't meant for new viewers to begin with. It was more of a little escapade, playing around the established mythology, for the pleasure of the regular viewers. It is season 4, they can do that. And now that we are back in NY, we will be back to our familiar case of the week full of shenanigans.
My post is not "against" the rant posts. It is just that reading those, it made me think to much about the flaws of the episodes, and took away a little bit the pure joy I felt watching brand new WC episodes. So I thought we needed some counterbalance. ;)
