Not anymore! This summer I&#8217;m spending my time with&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><b>White Collar<\/b>.<br \/>\nMy favorite bromance is back. Though the show still features a &#8220;case of the week,&#8221; I&#8217;m really enjoying the tension just beneath the surface between Neal and Peter. It adds some depth to the show that wasn&#8217;t previously there. Good stuff! But I hate the new opening credits. Bring back the <a href=\"http:\/\/characterchatter.usanetwork.com\/show.php?show=whitecollar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">old credits<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><b>Suits<\/b><br \/>\nDiscovered this show thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/neversince.livejournal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christie<\/a>. I guess I can&#8217;t resist cute boys in suits (see above: White Collar) cause it&#8217;s become my new obsession. \ud83d\ude00 I love the mentor\/mentee banter between Harvey and Mike. My only complaint is that I wish they wouldn&#8217;t spend any more time on Mike&#8217;s personal life, in particular his relationships with Trevor and Jenny. I know it&#8217;s necessary to show his time away from the office, not to mention his character growth but UGH&#8230; they are not interesting characters. Hopefully they&#8217;ll veer away from this storyline in upcoming episodes.<\/p>\n<p><b>Game of Thrones<\/b><br \/>\nA few weeks ago, Rob arrived home after a weekend in Las Vegas and at the airport, he picked up the first book in this series. I hadn&#8217;t been particularly interested in it before but somehow, Rob convinced me to check out the show. And we devoured all 10 episodes in a few days. I absolutely love Tyrion and Arya (such spunk!) and can&#8217;t wait to see if I&#8217;ll enjoy them as much in the books. That is, if Rob ever finishes it so I can read it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><b>So You Think You Can Dance<\/b><br \/>\nAs much as I love this show, it&#8217;s become too contemporary-focused, which is unfortunate. The first week of eliminations definitely proved that to me with Iveta and Nick getting the boot. On the other hand, I&#8217;m glad they&#8217;re using new choreographers this season. Routines were getting stale and the show needed some new blood to mix things up. So far, my favorite dancers are Tadd (can&#8217;t help it &#8211; he&#8217;s filipino!) and Melanie and Marko (talk about power couple!). Sasha and Ryan are my least favorites &#8212; they are OVER-HYPED.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also working my way through the first seasons of <b>True Blood<\/b> and <b>The Tudors<\/b> (yes, again). WOOT.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a good summer for TV.<\/p>\n<p>In other fandom news, complete <a href=\"http:\/\/www.comic-con.org\/cci\/cci_prog.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Comic-Con programming<\/a> has been released.
