That said, I find it hard to believe that I fell of the wagon in terms of keeping up with this show; the same could be said of Supernatural, but I have until March 25th to catch that up.
White Collar is hilarious. The chemistry between Neal Caffrey (Matthew Bomer) and Peter Burke (Tim DeKay) is undeniable. They spare and deliver their lines to one another with timing so perfect it seems natural. And Burke's relationship with his wife, Ellie (Tiffani Thiessen), is also a delight to watch on television. For once a woman realized what she was getting into before she married an FBI agent, and so is not constantly mad at him for doing his job. Far too many women on TV cause problems in their own marriages because they got married expecting him to change. *rolls eyes* But that is not the case here.
And Bomer and DeKay also work well with the many other actors brought on to the show.
In All In, while we did learn a key piece of story line information - the man who has Kate is FBI - we also got a lot of simple and fun character interaction.
Watching Mozzie (Willie Garson) and Caffrey watching the awful cult classic Chinese movie involving Dominoes was hilarious. Mozzie's nerdy obsession with bad movies clearly doesn't transfer to Neal, who has bigger concerns in his life.
Burke also showed other sides of himself - he's not much better with children than he is with crying women, but he tries. But what he is good at is getting information. I loved the scene where he pretended to be an idiotic FBI agent while recording the Chinese spoken around him for translation later. One of the best tactics out there is to play one people's assumptions and confidence in your lack of understanding to get what you want.
But I think my favourite moment of the entire episode was when Neal and Peter were in the warehouse, and Neal stated that he thought he saw the ark of the covenant. Indiana Jones references will get you everywhere. I guess there are some delightfully bad movies that Caffrey does like.
