katikatThe scene in Point Blank where Neal gets to Fowler is still one of the best scenes in the whole show. The way it was shot, from the moment Neal got the gun through the metal detector frame to where Peter convinced Neal not to shoot Fowler... wow, just... wow! Incredible.
What really got me, though, was when Mozzie was shot and ended up in hospital - and Neal slept in the chair next to his bed till Mozzie woke up. That was amazing. And when Neal thanked Mozzie for calling Peter and telling him that Neal was planning to kill Fowler, for stopping him... The whole Burke's Seven episode was fantastic!
I know that Forging Bonds is a fan favorite, but again, not mine. I like bits and pieces in it, mostly how Neal and Mozzie met and the whole Vincent Adler thing, but since I've never been a fan of Kate, I really didn't care about that part of the episode.
I liked What Happens in Burma and Countermeasures much more than the previous ep because the former gave us the first info on Neal's father and the latter told us more about June. When Neal asked June for a dance, you could see just why she loved him so much. I think he reminded her of Byron - A LOT!
And Payback! When Neal said, "Keeping Peter alive is more important than holding a candle for someone who isn’t," and when he then gave up the engagement ring he bought for Kate, when he helped Peter escape from the cell over the phone - which proved just how in sync they were - and the hug at the end... Lovely!
Power Play was not bad - I mostly loved the bits where Neal had to pretend to be Elizabeth's husband, much to Peter's annoyance! - but what really hit me was Under the Radar, the season finale. Ouch, right in the feels. First Adler told Neal that he had been like a son to him - and then he tried to kill Neal. And then the final confrontation between Neal and Peter. For once, Neal did not do what Peter accused him of doing - yeah, he did end up with the treasure in his hands, but it was all Mozzie's doing, at that time Neal had no idea what Moz had done - and yet Peter didn't believe him. Peter's anger, Neal's feeling of betrayal... When Neal told Peter, "Prove it!" Well, ouch!
And I'm done with S2! Gosh, I'm loving this show so much all over again. And in the light of the series finale, seen through the lenses of what's really important to Neal - Peter and El, Mozzie and June - every little bit I love seems... deeper and every thing that I hated before not really important anymore because those things were of no importance in the end, they weren't even a blip on the radar in S6... And yes, I re-watched the series finale and I bawled AGAIN! Gosh...
