Otherwise Donnie would've shot Mike.
  • There's also a "fake movie" plot line that proved beneficial to the episode. Briggs and Johnny explained it to Mike on their way to his first case. It started way before Mike got to California, and Briggs was cornered by the Russian drug dealers because his face was all over the television at one point and he was recognized during an undercover case. So he made up some crap about being an actor and eventually Johnny got in on it and got his own fake identity, then in this episode Mike also ends up involved. He uses Johnny's fabricated storyline and it saved his ass when he was working his first case. It'll be interesting to see if they're going to keep this plot line.
  • Mike gets a nickname: Levi. Because when he was undercover, he went to make a trade with a guy and it ended up being 1200 or some pairs of knock off Levi jeans.
  • "Johnny" is also a nickname. In their "fake movie", he shoots a guy sitting on the toilet... the john... and the name stuck.

It's a really good pilot; you can tell that they're really focusing more on the characters themselves as opposed to just being a case-by-case kind of show. The fluidity was really great, too; little things in the beginning of the episode played a part in the end and akshdfgh, it was just great.

I can't wait for Paige (Serinda Swan) to show up in the next episode. And Mike's progression as a character, because he's so out of place initially, but he's really clever and you can tell he's gonna be a good agent.

Also, Graceland is on the Summer TV Polls (and doing pretty well!), if anyone's interested in voting.

Thanks for all that.

Not much on spoilers at the moment, but USA has their Graceland section up on their website. A change to note:

Charlie Lopez is now Charlie DeMarco

Also came across this really great article about some White Collar actors possibly appearing on Graceland. Not an overlap between show 'verses, but..
Quote:
"'Graceland' is obviously a much darker show, much grittier," Eastin says. "On 'Graceland,' we are going for realism. 'White Collar' -- it's sort of a heightened reality. I wouldn't call it over the top, but it definitely has its own reality. The bullets in 'Graceland' are very real."

But that doesn't preclude a "Graceland" appearance by DeKay or Bomer.

"Both Tim and Matt have expressed an interest in coming on 'Graceland,'" says Eastin, "doing a character role, not reprising their 'White Collar' roles. That wounds like a lot of fun to me.

"I'd like to bring Matt on and have him play some kind of insane psycho. He loves the idea of that. There's a very good chance you'll see that."
source

I think that'd be great. And Aaron, Daniel and Matt on the same show? My Broadway heart. It'd be interesting to see, for sure.

No prob.

Not sure if it was ever mentioned, I have a bad memory, I don't even know what I've posted unless I read it back lol.. but there's going to be 11 episodes.

Quote:
From the creator of "White Collar" Jeff Eastin, the one-hour drama "Graceland" follows the lives of a number of undercover agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and U.S. Customs, who live and operate in a beachfront mansion in Southern California called "Graceland." The program stars Aaron Tveit ("Les Misérables"), Daniel Sunjata ("Grey's Anatomy), and Vancouver native Serinda Swan ("Breakout Kings"). Eleven episodes have been ordered of the series that is based on the true events of this young group of diverse roommates where the question of trust becomes a matter of life or death.
source

Also, it's airing in Canada on June 6 also, 10e/7p. Not sure where else they're planning to air it.
