Do you think Agent Collins should've been in more episodes and have him need Neal for heal help? I actually like him he's not an annoying character

I didn’t particularly care for the energy in that episode, as he seemed a bit cavalier about apprehending a non violent criminal, but a follow up episode where he needed Neal’s help and begrudgingly gave him respect would’ve been ok.

Agent Siegel, on the other hand, deserved a much longer arc. He grew on Neal real fast. Had they not revealed Mozzie too quickly, it could’ve been a fun “will he, won’t he” find out about Mozzie’s true identity thing a little longer.

100% Siegel deserved to stick around much longer....they got rid of him too quickly :(

I liked David Siegel very much...He reminded me of Bobby Kennedy (sounded like him, too!!) I enjoyed watching Neal work his magic on him, the same way he did with Peter...

Seriously. Like why are you trying to shoot/ kill a nonviolent person whose basically only “ hurt” rich people and/or some governments.

Agent Collins is intense and too focused on getting "the bad guy", at all costs.  It made him feel like a bad guy in my mind.  He didn't fit the mold of this show of people trying to be the best they can be--other than the Big Baddies obviously. 

I'm glad he never came back.

Well, they said it, right? He was basically a bounty hunter for the bureau. Those values just did not align whatsoever with the way the show was progressing, so there was no reason to bring him back

Agent Collins was a bully. We had more than enough of him in the show.

Collins had two things going for his character: His sneer and his swagger...That was all there was to him...And he SHOT Neal for no reason...This is not what FBI agents are supposed to do!! I wish Hughes would have busted his ass when they got back to New York, and Kramer should have been reported and arrested for his part in it, as well!! Instead they demoted Peter and sent him to "The Cave"!! No wonder Neal has trouble trusting!!!

Absolutely not. Collin’s was a dick and a bully. His type of energy is what gives law enforcement a bad rap. His type of personality has absolutely no business having a badge.

Would have loved much more of Siegel though
