White Collar/Fridge

• Fridge Brilliance: When Diana, played by British actress Marsha Thomason, speaks, sometimes she gets a case of Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping, which makes sense when we learn that her father was a diplomat and she probably spent part of her childhood in England with dear old dad.
  • She had a British nanny as well, so she may have picked up something of an accent from her time spent with the nanny.
  • Also, when Neal reveals that his father was a police officer, his aversion to and proficiency at using guns makes much more sense.
• In "Burke's Seven", Mozzie says that he can't identify his shooter because he doesn't remember what happened. It makes it worse when you remember that Mozzie has perfect recall.
• Although Neal makes it pretty clear in the third season that he wants to stay with the FBI even after he's released, there's a line in Hard Sell that made me realize he was thinking about that even in the first season. When Peter shows him the ring, he explains that everyone who's been with the FBI for ten years gets one. Neal's first question is, "Will I get one?" His prison sentence is only four years. So even as far back as the show's eighth episode, he had already decided to stay (or was at least considering it) after his four year sentence ended.
• Fridge Logic: Neal and Mozzie both emphasize the importance of stealth to pulling off their plan in "Countdown," and yet an essential step in the plan winds up being Neal parachuting off of the top of a Manhattan high rise that's under FBI surveillance in broad daylight. Might be excused under Rule of Cool if it weren't such a stretch to accept that NO ONE saw him.
  • He jumped off a building in New York City. You know, the place where aliens are advised to just "land anywhere".
