White Collar 301-308
I wasn't a big fan of the treasure arc, mostly because I hate it when Peter and Neal go AGAINST each other instead of fighting side by side against an outside force. Also, as much as Neal liked having the treasure, it really wasn't his fault that he got stuck with it, it was Mozzie's idea, he had done it behind Neal's back. And then Neal really WAS stuck with it because by the time he found out about it, Peter was already suspecting him and threatening to arrest him, so Neal couldn't just waltz into his office and tell him.
But in the light of the series finale, I'm now enjoying even episodes I didn't care for much the first time around. Like The Dentist of Detroit. That was a wonderful ep, funny yet heart-warming, not only because we found out much about Mozzie's background but because Neal stuck by him throughout the whole thing. I now have a much better appreciation for their friendship than before.
I also don't mind Sara as much as back then. I guess I learned to appreciate female characters more. Yeah, her introduction was still rather painful to watch but once they toned down her "action!girl" tendencies, I started liking her much more. An advice to writers: your female character doesn't have to make a huge splash the moment she appears on-screen, it's okay to reveal just how awesome she's bit by bit.
