[hoosierbitch]

OMG MOZ. 

OMG. OMG OMG OMG. 

MOZ.

MOZ?

MOZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I HAD MUCH MORE REACTION, THAT I WAS GONNA SAY, INVOLVING JOKES ABOUT CAT BURGALING AND PETER TELLING NEAL "I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT WITH YOU" AND THE HURT/COMFORT AND NEAL BEING FUCKING BADASS AND SWINGING THROUGH WINDOWS AND SHIT AND FOWLER'S CRAPPY HAIR AND DIANA'S SEXY SHIRT AND THE LACK OF JONES AND MY BURGEONING CRUSH ON PETER'S ADAM'S APPLE AND NEAL'S MONTAGE OF SADNESS AND ALEX AND AND AND AND AND OKAY MOSTLY: "I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT WITH YOU."

BUT

GUYS

OMG 

MOZZZZZZZZZZ. AND HIS EYELIDS AND THE GOATEE HE USED TO HAVE AND HIS EVERYTHING, JFC.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CONCENTRATE ON SOPHOCLES AT A TIME LIKE THIS?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IKR?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rcampuzano.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to find out how they save Mozzie!

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

Peter will save him! Peter will save EVERYONE!

*huddles under blankets waiting for haitus to be over*

[rabidchild67.livejournal.com]

Peter will save him because Peter has manly forearms of manliness and they fix everything.

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

AMEN.

I think that's gonna be my motto until the next half of the season starts.

"Peter has manly forearms of manliness and they fix everything, Peter has manly forearms of manliness and they fix everything, Peter has manly forearms of manliness and they fix everything..."

[literaryspell.livejournal.com]

OMG I CAN'T READ THIS YET EVEN THOUGH IT'S RIGHT THERE! *agonizes* My episode hasn't even downloaded yet. GODDAMN BEING CANADIAN--GODDAMN IT TO HELL! Your posts are my second favourite thing about WC night. *growls*

[rcampuzano.livejournal.com]

lol, yes there's nothing Peter's manly arms can't fix. Swoon

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

And when we swoon, he will CATCH us!

OH, PETER.

[lionessvalenti.livejournal.com]

As much as I freaked at the moment, I'm not terribly fussed about Moz because it's not the nature of the show for this to end badly. It still sucks that it's happening, though.

I laughed out loud over "I can do whatever I want with you". I instantly saw where that would go. What a great line! :D

Jones did have the epic subliminal Batman moment.

As much as I love Peter's Adam's apple, my favorite part of his throat is his mole. It's so ridiculously sexy. Yes, I have a favorite part of his throat. That's totally not weird.

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

THE SHOW BETTER NOT LET US DOWN. *glares in Eastin's direction*

I did love Jones' Batman moment. :D

His sexy throat mole totally distracted for a bit. GOD, THAT MAN!

[asimaiyat.livejournal.com]

OMG so you know me and my angst and of course I was DYING INSIDE that Neal was lying to Peter and Peter was obviously hurt SO BAD by it and then Neal's pointing the gun at Fowler and you can see how lost and scared and outside of himself he is and then

and then

AND THEN

Peter says "Neal -- Neal -- Look at me -- Neal, look at me" and just brings Neal back to himself because HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN, because he's the one who knows who Neal is and what he really wants, and and and

I think I broke a little bit.

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

THE ANGST WAS FRICKIN' AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING.

THE GUN IN HIS SHAKING HAND WAS - WAS - *wibbles*

AND, YES, THAT MOMENT WAS A TOTAL SHOUTOUT TO THE SEASON ONE FINALE. YES. OMG, YES. PETER'S THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN.

*FLAIL*

So many moments where my inner writer's monologue screeched like a scratched record and then sped way up.

THE BEST KIND OF ANGST CRACK.

YES.

[orphica.livejournal.com]

"Peter says "Neal -- Neal -- Look at me -- Neal, look at me" and just brings Neal back to himself because HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN, because he's the one who knows who Neal is and what he really wants, and and and"

THIS WAS THE BEST PART!

I died a little of happiness at that. That's totay how they have sex too.

[penguingal.livejournal.com]

THAT. YES THAT ALL THE WAY.

[(Anonymous)]

Most of the episode all I could think was:
a) The words "I can do whatever I want with you" coming out of Peter's handsome mouth
and
b) How sore Neal's butt was going to be after Peter found out Neal was lying to him, and Neal almost but not shooting Fowler, and all that bit (and the hot, hot, sorry for trying to con you make up sex that would follow)
BUT THEN
THEN
MOZ. OMG. MOZ!

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

SEE, I DON'T EVEN WANT SPANKING POST-EP! I just want Peter to take Neal home and feed him soup and then Have a Talk with him. HE WAS SO HURT AND WOOBY.

*wibbles*

(...and THEN porn. Because, after all, PETER CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANTS WITH NEAL. *COLLAPSE*)

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, yes, a Talk, and Elizabeth feeds them, and dissapointed frowny faces are pointed at Neal, and then they sleep and the next day/night punishment porn happens.

Is it next year yet?
How about now?
Now?

[literaryspell.livejournal.com]

WHAT IS HAPPENING I DON'T EVEN

Moz! *wails* *has own montage of sadness including rubbing sexy drawing charcoal all over my face* *sees self in mirror and decides to leave the look to Neal*

He won't die for realz, right? RIGHT?

"I can do whatever I want with you." How I love fanservice. This made me flip out of my chair in happiness. DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO HIM, PETER! Especially seeing as you're all angry from Neal repeatedly disobeying you! Break out the rattan cane!

Is this the first confirmation we've had of Diana's gayness? Or have I not been paying attention enough?

Neal with the gun made me all antsy. I NEED TO KNOW THE STORY WITH THE GUN THING!

And how the H E double hockey sticks am I supposed to make it 'til winter for more? THAT IS CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT (and not of the variety I enjoy!)

Anyone have any info on when the exact date of return is? I need to know for scheduling purposes. LOL

What of Sophocles are you studying? Did you know he was an erastes? That might make reading easier. *pervs* (I'm sure you did know that, though)

[ships-harry.livejournal.com]

Is this the first confirmation we've had of Diana's gayness? Or have I not been paying attention enough

Heh. the latter :). Diana's outed in the pilot/1st episode, and there are references to her girlfriend in other eps too.

[literaryspell.livejournal.com]

OMG how embarrassing. Looking back now, I think I knew that. I mean, I always THOUGHT she was gay. I think this calls for a season one rewatch. :D (like I need an excuse lol)

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

I SECOND THIS ENTIRE COMMENT.

HE CANT DIE FOR REALZ.

(He can't, he can't, he cant, he CAN'T OMG PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEAASE DON'T DIE, MOZZIE!!!!!!!!!!!!)

NEAL WITH GUN = NEEDS MORE BACKSTORY. And also, more shots of his shaky hands. OH GOD IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL.

JEFF EASTIN'S CLIFFHANGERS ARE THE BEST WORST. GAH!

And we're just doing "Oedipus," which was my first true Greek Tragedy love. But I might be hitting up Philoctetes for another project later on...OH, SOCRATES. I WISH I WAS A YOUNG BOY SO YOU WOULD LOVE ME BACK... *sigh*

[katikat.livejournal.com]

I admit that Mozzie getting shot didn't hit me as much. Yeah, he's cute and I like him but... *shrugs* I was more stoked about the fact that the bad guy is played by PAUL BLACKTHORNE of the awesome The Dresden Files! \o/

I loved the scene in the museum, Neal's determination, Peter's despair... His "LOOK AT ME!"

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

I KNEW I recognized him from somewhere! AHA! I watched some of that show! And I'm a big Moz fan. His friendship with Neal is so beaauuuutiful!

Gah, the museum scene? SPOT-ON.

[orphica.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure Neal got a good spanking in return for just getting the anklet back on and not, you know, charged with brandishing a deadly weapon and threatening murder, whatever the legal term for that is, that's some pretty hardcore stuff there and Neal is only sent home? And when I say good spanking, I mean that Neal really doesn't like it and Peter has to punish him again for making his arm hurt so much by how hard he had to spank him. Like, that kind.

Because, did you hear, PETER CAN DO WHATEVERHE WANTS WITH HIM!!!

I love this show. Why is Jan not tomorrow?

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

Why is Jan not tomorrow?

THIS IS A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

And, this is weird, but this is the first time that Neal's disobeyed Peter where my first instinct wasn't: SPANK HIS ASS. Because he was just so lost and desperate and hurt! And I want Peter to comfort him.

(...or, okay, now that I think about it more, a spanking to convince Neal that when he was problems, HE SHOULD TRUST PETER, might totally work... *ponders*)

IN ANY CASE: CAN BE JANUARY NOW, PLZ?

[hpfan12.livejournal.com]

I jsut about had a heart attack when Moz slumped like he was actually dead. And I was like no, he's not really dead, this is like the Gandalf-thing and that didnt turn out so bad did it? But OMG I REALLY THINK HES GONE FOR GOOD. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WHAT ABOUT MOZZIES HUMOUR? AND HIS WEIRD ZEN-NESS? AND THURSDAY? AND WHO'S GOING TO HELP NEAL? WHAT ABOUT MOZ'S CONTACTS! this cannot be happening. they are going to save him in time. people will notice a person bleeding out over the benches on a public street. WHY DIDNT HE CALL OUT FOR HELP! NOOOO!

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

MOZ! SLUMPING! AND HIS EYELASH FLUTTERS!

HE CAN'T BE GONE! HE JUST CAN'T BE!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT ABOUT THURSDAY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[elrhiarhodan]

You can't be expected to concentrate on Sophocles when there is so much wonderful and hurty and sad and angsty things to think about.

I think we need porn about Peter's mole. You do know, of course, that I was less than a foot away from that bit of human awesomeness. I was touched by the arm and the hand that can also touch that mole on a daily basis. And touch other things that are part of the body of Tim DeKay.

"Tim DeKay's mole is my life coach" I want that on a t-shirt.

And amongst all the favorite bits and moments (and almost all of it was favorite bits and moments), the best was the quiet time at the FBI office when Peter and Fowler were standing on the balcony and Fowler says "when you shot me." And Peter replies, "Yeah, when I shot you." The expression of pure wicked toppiness on Peter's face was breathstealing. This man kicks ass right and left and sideways. There is NO ONE, I repeat, NO ONE (except for Elizabeth), who gets one over Peter Burke.

Sigh...

Is it January yet?

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT THE MOLE.

And the fact that increasingly I have to fight the urge to nibble my computer screen, because I want to nibble on that man's throat in the creepiest way. *sigh*

IT'S JUST THAT HE'S SO DAMN SEXY.

And Peter, in that scene with Fowler, was so fucking CONFIDENT I don't even know how to COMPREHEND it. When he told Neal to go home? I WANTED TO GO HOME TOO, EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY WAS HOME. THAT MAN KNOWS HOW TO COMMAND A FUCKIN' ROOM.

There is NO ONE, I repeat, NO ONE (except for Elizabeth), who gets one over Peter Burke.

AMEN.

[penguingal.livejournal.com]

THIS FINALE. I CAN'T EVEN.

MOZ!!!!

I was screeching at my TV practically from the point Neal took the gun from the antique place all the way through to Mozzie getting shot.

THE GUN. THE TRACKING ANKLET ON THE DOG. NEAL SWINGING IN THROUGH THE WINDOW (that whole sequence was so badass). PETER GETTING HIM TO PUT THE GUN DOWN. NEAL BEING A WOOBIE. NEAL ALL COVERED IN INK. PETER AND DIANA RUSHING IN TO SAVE NEAL. NEAL'S REALIZATION THAT MOZZIE IS IN DANGER. AND THEN MOZZIE GETS SHOT. WHAT THE FUCK.

Also, for me personally, LEARNING WHERE NEAL'S BATHROOM IS.

There was SO MUCH to write from in this episode. My brain wants to explode. And I don't even HAVE any Sophocles to concentrate on.

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

I AGREE AND EVERYTHING AND THE SWINGING AND THE GUN AND THE WOOBIE AND THE INK AND OKAY NOW I'M JUST REPEATING YOU BACK AT YOU.

MOZZIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARE YOU WRITING? WHAT ARE YOU WRITING? CAN I LOOK AT IT? I WANT TO READ IT.

*pines for you*

[ships-harry.livejournal.com]

Reactions included:

WHAT THE HELL to "carefully placing" the music box into what looked like a gym bag, and hauling a silver thing out of the boot and handling it with their greasy, dirty, acidic hands. *cries a bit*

Also, NEAL, you put a giant posture collar on a PUG, this is not being kind to tiny dogs.

I hope Moz isn't proper dead. I mean, all signs point to it, but I hope he's not. He's a very engaging character. It'd smack a bit of forcibly removing all Neal's old close associates - fridging them, really - to leave him without those contacts and push him further into the new life, in the same way JKR kept killing off Harry Potter's mentor figures so he'd have to rely on himself.

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

I didn't even notice the handling-of-the-music box. Poor box!

And, yes. The props people maybe should have thought of a way around the pug getting STRANGLED.

I hope Moz isn't dead, but my reasons are less rational, and more that I would miss his face. O.o

I LOVE HIS FACE SO MUCH. AND HIS FEET AND HIS SKINNY LEGS AND HIS GLASSES. But also, yes, character development and relationships and etc. *nod*

[(Anonymous)]

First of all, FFFFFFFFFFFFFOMG! Have not seen! Am living off the slashy vibes of this recap!!!

Second, "I can do whatever I want with you"?? Seriously?? *faints*

*gets back up*

Third, Oh MOZ! :-o

Fourth, Shana tova! Happy New Year, B. I'm betting you wish it was the January one, huh?

<3,

fp

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

HE SERIOUSLY, ACTUALLY, LEGIT SAID THAT. NO. JOKE.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! I still haven't found time to make challah, BUT I'MMA GONNA, and then eat it with salt (...and honey) to bring in the new year. I make a MEAN loaf of challah, I ain't even gonna front. *has mad skillz*

<3
B

[secretsolitaire.livejournal.com]

NOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOO! If they kill Moz, how would Neal ever come back from that? How would the show ever come back from that? He would not and it would not; therefore Mozzie will be okay. Yes? Yes.

*rocks in a corner*

[hoosierbitch.livejournal.com]

*joins you in the corner*

They're all gonna be okay, they're all gonna be okay, EASTIN, THEY HAD BETTER FUCKING BE OKAY, the're all gonna be okay...
