live blogging....

That's a nice way to reintroduce Neal. Can we have Matt in a pool in every episode? Please?

Neal's new alias is James May? Does White Collar have a Top Gear fan on their writing staff? LOL

Elizabeth to the rescue! Ugh. I love The Burkes so much. I've heard rumors that El might be getting pregnant this season and I don't know if I want that, weird as it sounds. I like them as they are.

Oh, Peter. You don't leave stuff like that just laying around. But damn, his team is good. Let's just hope they make it there first. *fingers crossed*

You go Peter! Go get your Neal back!!

Of course, now that he got the girl, he has to run. Poor Neal. :-(

Ugh. I hate Collins. I know we're supposed to, but damn. He sucks.

Awwwwwww........ Reunited and it feels so good... :-P Come on. How can you not ship them?

This Dobbs guy is getting my hackles up. He's gonna be coming back, I have a feeling.

Well, shit. Fuck you, Dobbs.

I believe specifically this portion:

"The Maine is best known for her catastrophic loss in Havana harbor on the evening of 15 February 1898. Sent to protect U.S. interests during the Cuban revolt against Spain, she exploded suddenly without warning and sank quickly, killing nearly three quarters of her crew. The cause and responsibility for her sinking remained unclear after a board of inquiry. Nevertheless, popular opinion in the U.S., fanned by inflammatory articles printed in the "Yellow Press" by William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, blamed Spain. The phrase "Remember the Maine, to Hell with Spain!" became a rallying cry for action, which came with the SpanishThis is what Neal was referring to when he picked his name History of the USS Maine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Maine_%28ACR-1%29)

Not a problem. I vaguely knew some of the history and looked it up for myself after the episode.
