Looks like the original version is winning by a landslide. :up:

As a graphic designer, it must suck for the guy(s) that came up with the new intro. But kudos to USA and the folks over at White Collar for listening to the fans. Too bad Human Target didn't do the same. We might have seen a third season if they did.

I wonder if the DVDs will all have the same (original) intro or if it will be like it aired.

USA has always had a more "station of the people" tone than pretty much any other network.

Also very likely why they're one of the most successful cable networks out there.

I don't really care about the opening sequence as long as they are less than 5 seconds or some multiple of 30 so I can easily skip button them.

Has anyone checked the latest results of the opening sequence poll?

The old version is getting its ass kicked.

:thumbsup: The show is on a roll so far this season. That was a great episode.

And finally they gave Hilarie Burton something to do. I really liked the whole planning and safe sequence. :lol: at Mozzie using a barbie doll as Sara.

The episode had a very Ocean's 11/Leverage vibe to it.

However, the thing that annoyed me was Neal's speech to Scott. I thought he was being a hypocrite considering he's planning this elaborate scheme with Mozzie to take the stolen Nazi treasure and run. Now that Sara discovered the fake passport, should be interesting to see how that affects their relationship.

For me, White Collar has probably surpassed Burn Notice as USA's best and most consistent 1 hour drama. The writing on this show is top notch.

USA just announced the original opening sequence won the poll. They will be back next Tuesday with updated shots of the cast.

Didn't USA go through the same thing with Monk? They changed the theme and after complaints had to change it back.

Great episode. I was wondering when they were going to show us why they added Burton to the main cast. The past two episodes she had like two to four minutes of screentime.

Fist of Doom 07-14-11 12:45 AM

Re: White Collar -- "Scott Free" -- 7/12/11
 
Man, Hilarie Burton is super-skinny. I hope she doesn't have an eating problem.

Oh, and another great episode.

I definitely thought the same thing when Peter was walking into the office thinking "please be done!"

While he isn't necessarily resisting the plan, he doesn't seem to be as anxious to assist moving it forward compared to Mozzie. I have a strange feeling about what's ultimately going on on that front. In this episode, Neal said himself that it is more about successfully pulling the caper over the actual spoils themselves. I don't think that was an accident.

Michael Corvin 07-14-11 08:42 AM

Re: White Collar -- "Scott Free" -- 7/12/11
 
There was also that bit in his speech to Scott about getting caught when you get comfortable and meet someone special, ala him and Sarah.

He's definitely not "all-in" like Mozz and he is getting cozy with his life. It's a recipe for getting caught. I would hate to see Mozz ride off in the sunset, or Neal turning on him, as he's a great character, but it seems to be where it's headed.

FYI, White Collar's summer finale will be August 9th after episode 10.

Re: White Collar -- "Taking Account" -- 7/19/11
 
:thumbsup: I'm turning into a broken record, but that was another solid episode.

:thumbsup: Loved Neal and Sara's spending spree and the graphic showing how much they spent.

:lol: at the reaction when Neal asked for 4 helicopters.

Almost didn't recognize Lena Headey from Game of Thrones. If any of you are wondering all those tattoos on her are real. :thumbsup: Go Mozzie for getting some action.

Glad Sara finally discovered Neal's scheme with the treasure. I liked June's advice to her about being there for him. Looks like Sara will have to stop the scheme.

And last, but not least:

:thumbsup::thumbsup: to the return of the original opening sequence.

I think Hilarie Burton is beautiful, but dang she is so thin. She must be a size 1 if that. And that's really impressive considering she just had a baby with Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Yes, she's dating him. I don't remember her being this thin back when she was on One Tree Hill.

Neil should've been more careful with his password, especially since Sara got it the same way he got her bank PIN.

The "port" where they caught the guy at the end was actually the Manhattan side of the Staten Island Ferry. Hardly the crossroads of the world since it's a slow boat that just goes back and forth. And despite what Peter said about not enough agents, the waiting room is no bigger than what was shown. Good camera work to make it seem more than it is though.

That really was fun. I also really enjoyed how they caught the guy at the end - something out of The Matrix or the future almost. Funny that we're probably not far from really doing that right now with Amber Alerts and such.

"Network cables out now!" apparently means turn off your monitors...hahaha. I guess they needed something visual for the audience but I cringed there.

Evan Meadow 07-20-11 07:40 PM

Re: White Collar -- "Taking Account" -- 7/19/11
 
My reaction to the spending spree was "You said enough after buying the 4 helicopters!"

As for Mozzie hooking up, I just kept going "Mozzie, she wants you. GO!"

Cellar Door 07-24-11 11:32 AM

Re: White Collar -- "Taking Account" -- 7/19/11
 
Yeah, that was a nice surprise seeing Lena Headey in this. She's great in everything she does and it was fun seeing Mozzie get the hookup.

I was thinking the same thing about Hilarie Burton. She's pretty, but damn thin.

The idea that they would just stick that drive in a networked computer and go to town was ridiculous anyway. Oh well, not that much harm done, since the FBI network apparently consists of the dozen or so computers visible from Peter's office.
