White Collar ugh

At one time I *loved* White Collar and I still think its pilot is one of the best out there, but wow this show has fallen. First was the problematic third season and its whole Nazi loot storyline and then was the constant rehashing of the same idea (wherein they have to constantly remind us that Neal is a criminal and Peter is his FBI handler and doesn't trust him) resulting in stagnating character growth.

Kickass lesbian FBI agent Diana Barrigan had always been a high point of the show- snarky, clever and never in need of rescuing- until this season. For some reason they decided to write in the actress' pregnancy (in a rather shoehorned, nonsensical manner) a tactic I tend to think results in issues for the show/character in the long run and there was what they did with her last night? No. Just no.
