White Collar

Last night, White Collar may not have given us any clues into the whole Kate, Fowler, and Neal triangle - but "Vital Signs" proved this show is great even without the main storyline.

A couple things we loved about this week's episode:

• The interaction between Elizabeth and Peter. Finally we get to see a little emotion here! The end could have been steamier, but at least it felt authentic with the whole non-jealous - jealous emotional interplay.

• The tricky way they got the doctor to believe he was starting renal failure - bigger clothes (check), rash all over his body (check) and blood in his urine (check)! Great plot. I loved every second of it!

• The complete trust that Peter and Neal share with each other. Granted, Neal was all doped up, but you can tell there is a bond between these guys. It gets me feeling all warm and fuzzy.

This week on White Collar, Peter goes undercover to catch the bad guy in "Vital Signs."

And, from the looks of it below, Peter has gotten himself in some risky business!

Neal accidentally comes across a secret lab that harvests human organs. It is up to Peter to save Neal before his time runs out!

Check out our preview pictures below and don't forget to tune in Tuesday night at 10pm on USA.

Peter and Neal are back at it!

These two make quite the dynamic duo! On "Bad Judgment," we liked seeing Peter in the hot seat. Usually our resident hottie is the one tying to stay out of jail, but this week it was all Peter.

There were a couple moments that made us go,"Aww" - such as when Peter's whole team came in the middle of the night to help him crack the case; and when Mozzie asked Neal if he trusted Peter. Hello! Too cute!

We were happy to see some more insight into what makes Fowler tick - but we feel that it wasn't enough. It seems like it is not only Peter and Neal that get the creeps from this guy. No one else in the bureau seems to like the guy. And why is he constantly hanging around? There is so much more to this story and like an iceberg, we are just skimming the top.

It's been over a month and the anticipation for the return of our beloved show has been killing us!

*** Warning! Spoiler Alert! If you haven't already watched the show and/or read our recap of "Hard Sell", then do it! Come back after and let us know what you thought of this amazing episode! ***

Okay, so thankfully as most of you guessed, Peter is not the bad guy and Fowler is! (Or at least this is what the show has us believe right now, anyway.) Something tells me someone else is involved besides Kate. Someone close to Neal that could get into his head...perhaps a small middle-aged man who dresses well and wears glasses? We hope not!

We aren't sure how you guys felt, but there were so many unanswered questions floating around in our heads all night! White Collar really knows how to keep us up, biting our nails!

Thankfully, they didn't leave us entirely hanging. At least we were able to find out that everyone who is in with the FBI over ten years gets that ring. No wonder Peter never wears it! It's hideous! And it's a pinkie ring! The only people that can get away with pinkie rings are guidos and mafiosos. Period.

Side note, we are very happy to hear that White Collar is coming back for a second season! One complaint we still have is Elizabeth's involvement. We love her! Can't the writers make her character more involved?

We leave you with a couple White Collar quotes and let us know what you guys thought of last night's episode!

Neal: Now I find the music box..
Mozzie: And steal it? Welcome back. | permalink

Peter: There's something I need to tell you. I know what the guy wants.
Neal: What guy?
Peter: The guy in the picture with Kate. I am going to need you to listen. Kate told me and now I am going to tell you. | permalink

Neal: What do you mean you don't invest over the phone? The Cuban Missile crisis was handled over the phone. | permalink

Peter: We just want to know who's behind it all.
Neal: (under his breath) So do I...
Peter: What was that?
Neal: Nothing. | permalink

As the most surprising new hit of the TV season, White Collar has been rewarded by the USA network:

It's moving from its ratings-challened Friday night time slot to Tuesday evenings at 10 p.m.

Check out the official promo for the show's January 19 return tomorrow and remember: TV Fanatic recaps and reviews this great series every week!

Short, but very sweet news for White Collar fans:

The USA series has already been renewed for a second season!

Earlier today, producer Jeff Eastin Tweeted:

Like other USA shows such as Burn Notice and Royal Pains, White Collar picked up a broad following soon after it debuted. It will return on January 19 with new episodes.

In the meantime, you can catch up on the show via our extensive episode guides and take a glance ahead at it via our section of White Collar spoilers.

It's only been on for a few weeks, but White Collar is already one of the most popular shows on TV Fanatic.

Readers chime in on our weekly recaps and reviews, commenting on the latest developments on the series and hypothesizing on what might happen next.

Regarding upcoming spoilers, series creator Jeff Eastin has teased fans with the following look at what's ahead:

“Peter has always known more about Kate than he’s let on, something we’ve hinted at since the pilot. Has he betrayed Neal? Come back in January to find out.”

We will.

WOW!!! OMG!!! Talk about a shocking mid-season finale!!! Warning - Spoiler Alert - If you haven't watched "Free Fall" or read our recap, do so now! Then, come back to our review, and let us know what y'all think!

Okay so let's start off by saying: how crazy was last night's episode?!

Out of all the new shows on t.v. these days, White Collar hasn't left us hangin'! We want more! We want more! We want more! (more being hottie Neal Caffrey, naturally..)

All kidding aside, or all seriousness a side for that matter, these boys have really kept us on our toes! We were for sure thinking that Biff from BTTF was totally a double crossing agent! And to think Neal did all those death defying moves to find out that the real smarmy guy is right next to him.

Peter! Out of everyone on the show, he was the one guy we trusted with our unborn children.

What does this mean about Elizabeth? Do you think she knows about her husband's illegal affairs? Is she bad too? Say it ain't so! Thankfully, we only have to wait a couple weeks to find out!

Until next year, we leave you with some food for thought:

• Perhaps Peter is a double-double crossing agent trying to protect Neal from his wrongful past that may catch up with him.
• Maybe, since Peter is living a double life, Elizabeth and Neal can get in some steamy/forbidden love triangle scenes.
• Nothing is what it seems and this show wouldn't be such a hit if it was!

Also, how could we leave you hangin' without some gloriously funny White Collar quotes!?:

Neal: Peter, I'm starting to like you again.
Peter: Oh well, then we're hanging out too much. | permalink

Mozzie: I appreciate the irony here - we're looking into them and they're looking into you. | permalink

Neal: I'll admit that I have done a lot of things that I am not proud of...wait, that's not true, I am proud of most things I do. | permalink

Mozzie: You lay down with dogs - you get up with fleas. | permalink

Neal always seems to find himself in the middle of trouble, and this week, nothing has changed. I've never seen a guy so good looking and...well, he's really good looking.

Neal finds himself in the middle of an organized Asian crime scene in the heart of Chinatown. It is nice to see White Collar shoot at different locations - it's New York people! Empire State Building, Little Italy, Soho, Greenwich Village just to name a few off the top of my mind...take advantage man, take advantage. 

We do have a few things that we love and hate in this week's episode. To start off, we will go with the sweet:

• The bond that is continuously increasing between Peter and Neal. Soon, they will be the Bert and Ernie of USA.
• The amount of beautiful women each week that flirt with Neal and as always, get turned down. Not only is he super hot and sexy, but he's a one woman kind of guy..swoon.
• Neal's ability to think quick on his feet - he's not only got the looks, but the brains too!

Now, for what we could live without:

• The continuous cat and mouse game that Kate keeps playing..we get it's the only consistent theme throughout the episodes, but we do believe there should be something more to what we've got to work with. Maybe if we could see what Kate is up to and learn more about her character it would be okay. Now, it just seems silly and a weak storyline.
• Elizabeth's character. Something needs to change - we expected so much more from Kelly Kapowski! At the very least some steamy sex scene's with her hubbie Peter - or better yet Neal!

Like the saying goes, the sweet wouldn't be as sweet without the bitter.

Although we are sad to be winding down the episodes before the season finale, we are very excited to be finding more and more about Kate and her whereabouts. Although it wasn't much, this week in "All In", we do learn from the double crossing Asian that Kate was taken by the FBI.

Could this mean it's a good cop - or a bad cop?! We're betting on bad cop...but, who knows?! Only time will tell..until next week, we leave you guys with a few of our favorite White Collar quotes:

Neal: What's next partner?
Peter: Don't call me that. | permalink

Elizabeth: Another all nighter?
Peter: I married a perceptive woman.
Elizabeth: I married a predictable man. | permalink

Neal:(referring to Peter's silly socks) Are those standard FBI issued? | permalink

USA has another hit on its hands with White Collar.

As the anti-NBC, everything the cable network touches to gold these days, as USA has hit home runs with In Plain Sight, Burn Notice and, now, this Matthew Bomer-led drama.

On December 4, White Collar will air its mid-season finale. What will go down before the show heads into its holiday hiatus? We're so glad you asked...

• Neal confronts a new, criminal nemesis;
• Elizabeth Burke plays a pivotal role;
• There's a significant reveal about Agent Burke that involves something from Neal's past.
