The Bad Influence Speaks

White Collar: Judgment Day

 

Season 3, Episode 16

 

It is time for Neal's commutation hearing but Agent Kramer is making waves that could disrupt everything. Beau Bridges guest stars.

Mozzie: Well behind every worst case scenario there's a worse worst case scenario.
Neal: Isn't there a child whose balloon you need to pop somewhere?

Comments:
1) Damn that Kramer.
2) I love getting more of Neal's backstory.
3) Nice jump between trams. They don't have much action of that variety so you miss out on the fact that Neal is supposed to have all the skills of a second story man.



Spoiler if you haven't seen the episode. Scroll down a little bit to get to the pictures and avoid this part.

4) They set us up for this ending when Peter told Kramer that you can't push Neal into a corner. That he'll always run if you do that. Part of me has wanted to see him on the run since the beginning. Season 4 should be exciting as Neal and Mozzie evade Peter and Kramer all over the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

White Collar Quotes

The Magnificent Seven: Pilot

Also titled The Ghosts of the Confederacy
Season 1, Episode 1

 

An Indian village is under attack by a relic from the War Between the States, a renegade Confederate cavalry unit. When they stop in a wild nearby town to hire help, seven men are hired to defend the village. Kurtwood Smith and Ned Romero guest stars.

Chris: Shot a lot of holes in the clouds back there. Anybody stop to reload?

 

Mary: I run the Clarion News. Where did you guys come from?
Chris: Saloon.
Mary: Where are you going?
Chris, Nathan, and Vin: Saloon.

 

Buck: Are there going to be ladies where you're going?
Chris: I imagine so.
Buck: Then I imagine I'm in.

 

Ezra: Well, sir, I abhor gambling and as such leave nothing to chance.

 

Nathan: Why would we want a cheater?
Chris: Might need one.

 

Mary: I'm just trying to scare the bad element away from this town.
Chris: Lady, I am the bad element.

 

Seminole Chief: Welcome. We greet you with hostility.
Chris: I think he means hospitality.
Vin: Nope, I think he means hostility.

 

Ezra: Of course, I'll expect you to applaud like I taught you.

 

Chris: I thought you said there were 20.
Seminole Chief: No, I asked if 20 would scare you.
Chris: 20 no. 40 yes.

 

Ezra: There are two kinds of people in this life, my friend. Those who seek battle and seem not to fear death like them, and those who avoid battle but will stand and fight to the death if their loved ones are threatened like them. That is true courage.

Commentary:
1) I adore this show and remember how eagerly I used to wait for new episodes. I know Westerns don't usually do well in these modern times (though it is over a decade old) and wish it had more chances.
2) It's a toss up who is my favorite character for the series: Vin (Eric Close) or Ezra (Anthony Starke). And, well, Buck (Dale Midkiff).
3) In my notes next to the quotes I wrote down while watching I have "Seminde?" written down and have no idea what the hell it means. Or it could be "Serninde." I have no idea. Ah, ha! Just figured it out. It says "Seminole." I hadn't known Seminole Indians had been herded that far west.

Hump Day Quote: Josh Gates

If travel has momentum and wants to stay in motion, as I mentioned earlier, then adventure has the gravitational pull of a black hole. The more you do it, the more you find a way to keep doing it.

Josh Gates, Destination Truth: Memoirs of a Monster Hunter

Being Human: The Ties That Bind

 

Season 2, Episode 7

 

Things come to a head between Josh and Nora and Aidan gets thrown into the fight. Sally figures out who is haunting her.

Josh: Why is the bathroom mirror calling me a whore?

 

Josh: Also neither of us recently played Maria von Trapp to a group of ghostly teenage wastelands.

Comments:
1) If iron can dissipate a ghost, how can Sally hold it?
2) I bet the prop guys had a fun time playing furniture jenga.
3) Dusan Dukic makes a fabulous Reaper.
4) It was very cowardly of Josh to throw Aidan under the bus like that with Nora. Nut up Josh.
5) This episode was a great reminder that this isn't a remake of the UK version. I watched it through season 3 (Annie and Mitchell [Sally and Aidan counterparts] together made me want to stab myself with a fork). I hope that Josh realizes that his expectations of Aidan are pushing him farther into where he doesn't want, or is scared, to go. That is one of my problems with Josh; he is so judgmental and isn't very inclined to listen to the other side of the story.
6) This was a great episode and a major turning point for the series. I can't wait to see where it goes from here.

White Collar Quotes

Hump Day Quote: Jill Connor Browne

Having devoted ourselves so utterly to misspending our own personal youths, who is better qualified to teach you how to misspend yours? And fear not, if your youth has already passed without any misspending on your part, we can also teach you to misspend you middle age. That part is even fresher in our minds since it is what we are doing currently. We like to think of the process as Building an Inventory of Good Stories to Tell in the Nursing Home.
