The Top 10 DOs and DON'Ts for White Collar Season 2

Keep Neil’s hats, keep the attitude but find Kate’s killer. Keep the ‘movie’ feel to each episode-great color-sets-and plots.

I agree that there was not enough Peter in this article. The show is about the both of them and their relationship. We don’t need a steady supply of love interests for Neal (BTW pick a spelling and stick with it – NEAL is the correct spelling). Develop Peter and Neal with Mozzie, Elizabeth, Jones, Hughes and Diana, bring in the occasional woman for Neal to play with, then we’ll all be fine. Once the show has been on, say ten or twelve years, then Neal can get a serious love interest, but leave him alone for now.

It would have been nice if you had thought to dedicate some of your paragraphs to Peter Burke. What he should or shouldn’t do about Fowler and the explosion. How he should or shouldn’t handle his relationship with Neal now. How far he should or shouldn’t go with incorporating Mozzie into his investigation of the dirty FBI goings-on.

And unless/until Jeff Eastin himself declares it to be a possibility, I reject the notion that Pete’s one of the bad guys.

I don’t think the Kate storyline needs to end by Season Three, but it shouldn’t drag either. Lay it quiet awhile while Neal moves on, then have it’s head rear again. You know, to cause mayhem with his new girlfriend. But don’t let it then drag. In general dragging is bad. Haha.

These are good! As far as the first (#10?), Matt Bomer has already given interviews to that effect, talking about how in the first several episodes Neal is barely keeping it together.

Also, the first several episodes will not have much Elizabeth Burke, but that is not the fault of the writers- Tiffani Thiessen is heavily pregnant for most of that shoot, and then on maternity leave. But I think they were clever about getting as much of her as possible- for instance, some filming with a green screen in LA so she didn’t have to fly to NYC while 8 months pregnant, lots of sitting at tables shots, etc.
