I <3 White Collar

[switch842]

I've been rewatching season 1 on the DVDs I got for Christmas, and, just man. This show is awesome. Especially Peter & Elizabeth. They're just so normal. They're kinda goofy, a little silly, not overly romantic, but still so much in love.

And I really have major love for Jeff Eastin and the writers not making Elizabeth one of those stereotypical "cop wives". You know the ones where like 5 years after they get married, the wife is all pissy and moany about the fact that he's never home, he's always working late blah blah blah. Dude. You knew what he was when you married him. Get over yourself. And she GETS IT. She does. He misses dinner sometimes, but she doesn't get made about it. And in Vital Signs, when she finds that business card or note with that woman's name on it in the laundry, most shows would have her get all jealous and upset. She just laughs cos Peter had to flirt and he's such a terrible flirt. And she has her own very successful career. She's her own woman. I just... I love her. Cos she's so real. She's so ME. And there's not a lot of ME on TV.

So, yeah. Yay Elizabeth! :-)

I agree with everything you said. El is such a wonderful character. It so nice to see in a show where a woman can run a successful career/business while have a very honest open relationship with her husband. I love it that she is very accepting of people but also protective of the people she loves. She is strong but also very sexy and feminine. Props to Jeff for knowing how to write a female character. The boys from Bridge should learn a thing or two from this.

Actually when you look at Diana and Lauren they are strong, powerful and sexy characters too all thanks to Jeff.

Yup. You just nailed it. She really is a woman of TODAY. Jeff and the crew are just awesome with her. I want to hug them. LOL

I need more El icons....
