Been having a lot of thoughts about Peter Burke's oh-so-briefly touched on minor league baseball backstory. I feel like in the vast majority of cases, when a character is forced to make a choice between pursuing what they love at a high personal cost or abandoning it, we are told that a life lived following your passions is worth every cost- that there is a right path to take here and it's the one where you slowly destroy yourself. The fact that Peter Burke DOES abandon that particular passion and we don't even learn about it until 3 seasons in, when he is already firmly established as a character who HAS a fulfilling passion and fulfilling relationships, who has been living a personally meaningful life all this time and can look at what he chose to give up as a different chapter of his life that was no more or less meaningful, is remarkable. I think it's a worthwhile and kind of rare message: there isn't ONE thing worth living for! If you leave one passion you can find others!

In my opinion it also serves to highlight an important difference between him and Neal- that Peter is NOT the type to destroy himself for love and Neal IS. This is in that part of season 3 where anything and everything is being used as a metaphor for the choice between staying and leaving that Neal is faced with (up to and including gay marriage but that's a different post haha), and it's like. Well. Well Neal is destroying himself for love RIGHT NOW. He's living this life where he has no freedom and no privacy because it's the most meaningful thing he's ever had and he's trying desperately to convince himself he can keep it up forever. The narrative is impressively morally neutral on the matter- neither man is right or wrong, and they have good reasons for thinking what they do. (Why might Peter believe more chances will come along while Neal thinks he only ever gets one shot? What in their upbringings gave them such different levels of perceived stability)? It's just a rather tragic difference between the two. And all packed into 5 minutes at the end of the fucking baseball heist episode

the reason white collar is so fun is bc neal is unapologetically a criminal but he also goes out of his way to only bother annoying rich people. iconic. give him somebody who actually needs help and he'll do it. show him a way to make a rich person really pissed off and he can't resist.

Peter Burke starts White Collar thinking he's some kind of hard-boiled cynic when all he wants to do is nurture people and take care of them and give them big, warm dad-hugs.

White Collar wouldn't work if Peter didn't also have a lot to learn about who he is.
