I have to disagree with you there. I think the characters are very well fleshed out, especially Peter, Neal and Mozzie. And this is one of the rare shows where you see a happy couple in Peter and Elizabeth. And I think they did a good job slowly developing the sexual tension and chemistry between Neal and Sara.

I like Tiffani Thiessen, but I agree with you that she needs to hit the Gym.

Diana and Jones are the only ones who are not really fleshed out. Diana was a guest star in season 1, then she disappeared and became a regular all of the sudden in season 2. All we really know about her is she's gay.

Does Diana still have the music box, too?

Too bad they booted Natalie Morales' character to the curb, though.

Wow, this one was a total blast. The clichéd plot device of Neal & Burke switching roles was completely forgivable given Dekay and Bomer's chemistry. I loved Burke picking Neal's pocket at the end.

Finally watched this yesterday and yeah, fun episode all-around. Peter and Neal were having fun with the switch and so did we.

Not bad, now the stakes are raised for both Neal and Peter, with the distrust between them at a higher alert level.

Interesting twist at the end I guess. I would like it if Neal actually did, but I really doubt they'd go there. If Mauzy did it that'd be cool too.

Yeah I really don't think he did it. My money is on Mozzie or Alex.

I liked the episode, but wasn't it about a year ago the season finale painted them as possibly now having to distrust each other, only then to have them kind of make up and things go back to normal within 1 episode the following season? I'm still digging the show a lot, I'm just not thinking their relationship will be changed all that much. It'll still be the buddy/buddy relationship as usual. After all, that's what the show is built on. I don't think it'll retain it's charm if they became adversaries on any level.

it had me thinking - which chick would I choose (if I had the choice) - Alex or Sara? Damn they both look nice.

I can see where Bill Hendrickson could convince himself that bigamy was an acceptable lifestyle choice...

I liked this episode, but considering how much build up led to Neal's confrontation with Adler, it felt a little anti-climatic.

I think it was Alex who stole the art work to tempt Neal back into his old ways.

Looking forward to seeing how they incorporate Sara into the show next season.

The Adler confrontation was both anti-climatic and over the top. Both the writers and Andrew McCarthy were in full Bond villain mode.

I'm still thinking Kate's alive.

I don't know if I like the Sara angle (that complete halt in the middle of the episode to advance that story was the worst part of the episode). The 'romance' in this show should be between Peter and Neal. Their banter is what makes the show and I like Neal being asexual.

I think the Adler over-the-top-ness is all on McCarthy. He was never a great actor especially in dramatic scenes so I think it falls all on him as to why that confrontation was bad. The CGI fire/explosion really didn't help matters though.

Still love the show but this episode wasn't the absolute best.

And, yes, I believe Peter and Neal will be made up by the end of the first episode next season or at least on terms where they can work together.

I can't let the writers off the hook. They had Adler doing all the Bond villian cliches.

Capture the hero - check.
Explain master plan to hero - double check.
Offer the hero a chance to join you - check?
Classic deathtrap - big check.

It would have been awesome if, say, Robert Davi said the lines, though, right? Actually, that would have been awesome.

I agree. It only makes sense that Kate is still alive. If she isn't the one behind the art theft, then we should all be disappointed. I can't see them taking the storyline in any other direction that would make any kind of impact.

Yeah, I don't know about that. She was clearly on the plane and it blew up in front of everyone's eyes. If she's behind everything, it will be a jump the shark moment.

16 episode 3rd season

Hilarie Burton (Sara Ellis) is now a series regular. I really like her and liked the sexual tension/chemistry she has with Neal.

Jeff Eastin said on his Twitter page that Sharif Atkins (Jones) will also be a series regular this season.

Very excited for the return of this awesome show. I love everything about it - except that horrendous finale last season (and those green screen shots with Tiffani).





No, really. It's about time. He was an integral part of the show and was even in the show more than Tiffani last season.

For a while there, I thought he was gonna be the Heather Locklear of this show and forever listed as a guest star.

And great news about Hilarie Burton. Her and Matt Bomer have great chemistry together.

Is it wrong that this is the first time I found out what NAACP means?

Good news. I like both characters.

I think this show has surpassed Burn Notice as my favorite USA show.

Can't wait!

I may agree with you there. Burn Notice just seems to be spinning its wheels lately. This show is much more fun now.

Agree with everyone! Love Atkins and Burton, and I'm enjoying this more than Burn Notice lately.

Although to be fair, this season of BN looks like it might shake things up a bit, based on last season's finale.

Agreed on all accounts.
