White Collar!


[personal profile] china_shop , if you read this, IT"S ALL YOUR FAULT.  Good job.

So tonight, I popped my White Collar cherry.  After the super-cheesy movie we streamed (Four Musketeers with Racquel Welch and Michael York - where the only thing that made Welch's character's insipid uselessness better was the nearly equal uselessness of the intrepid heroes - way to ruin a book, gang), it was still fairly early so we looked for something else to try.  We were thinking about starting Chuck, but on the way to looking for it, we found White Collar.  I voted for it, and described it to DH as "it's supposed to be charming." Which was a selling point because we were supposed to be watching something romantic (even though explosions were explicitly allowed).

We began at the very beginning, with the pilot.  I've read so much fic already, that I was recognizing things left and right.  Not the story so much as the bits and pieces that have become the foundation or starting point for fic.  This isn't the first fandom (nor will it be the last) where I learned the fanon before the canon.  It can be a fun way to go if the source is good and inspires an active community.

DH agreed that we should keep watching this, so we have something new to fill the void now that we've completed the entire Firefly/Serenity ouevre.  I'm looking forward to it.  The funniest part of the evening though is that when we finished and flipped back to regular TV we saw an ad for season 3 of WC, which stated it airs Tuesdays at 10/9 central.  We watched the pilot at 9:00 on a Tues night! LOL
