Actually, the strings that took me out of it were more subtle things, but I didn't reference them because I didn't commit them all to memory. So I went with the break-in because it stood out in my mind, not because it was the crux of my critique. If I had the will to, I guess I could rewatch and tick off the specifics, but it's not worth it.

That said, your last sentence is pure-D horse shit. Ohh, these poor put upon people need Michael Westen's particular skill set to get them out of a dangerous jam with an intricate plot to get the bad guys out of their lives and release them from danger, but it doesn't matter if that intricate plot falls apart tomorrow and the bad guys are back on the street exonerated and pissed as hell that someone tried to bring them down, because Michael Westen has moved on to a new episode.

Neglecting the details that actually delivers them from danger obviates the need for his skill set altogether. Why didn't they just hire some mook to tie the guy up. 'I doubt he'll get out of those ropes for, like, hours. So see ya."

And so we're clear, I love the show and have watched every episode. So this critique was of a good show that let me down a little this once in a vague, corner cutting manner. I'm not saying the show is pure shit or anything, so lets not get all twisted.

This has happened since the show began. Some of the resolutions have been far more ridiculous than the one on the last episode. Even still, the case brought against the scammers may not even need those stolen files to get a proper conviction. Michael says that the father and son were going at it after the son's arrest and "practically handed" the case to the investigators.

Totally agree.

This show is epically good, just because Bruce Campbell is in it.

What did everybody think of yesterday's episode?

I thoroughly enjoyed it.

*snap*

lol. The way they set up their stuff is just amazing. The snapping of the fingers was brilliant. Always good to see Danny Trejo in shows as well even if its just for 1 episode.

Was a really good one. I like the cleverness they use.

Michael weston is a PIMP!

The devil wants Rincon's soul; I only want the man.

I've got to get me a suit like that.

Usually a show jumps the shark during the episode that the obvious "they need to be together" couple finally sleeps together, but Michael and Fiona getting together was planned out perfectly. Can't wait to see what happens with the super-plot this season!

This one was a little weaker, but it is setting up for a bigger one.

It was still a catchy flick, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

I particularly joy Fiona gets when she blows shit up. I'm amazed at how well this show is written. Maybe I don't watch enough TV, but it seems like this show is written better than about anything else out there.

It was a solid episode. not epic, but solid. This show has had so many great episodes, its almost impossible to keep the level of bad ass that high. I enjoy his Mcgyver-like things. Using the Microwave as a little bomb. Or using the string and grease to lube up the wall light. Good shit.

this

I am in spy heaven between this show and chuck

I thought yesterday's episode was very very good. It showed the edge.

I say it every week, but I continue to be impressed with the show.

another killer episode. This show des not have bad episodes. Thats a very very rare thing in TV now days. I think Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad are the other 2 that are constantly at this level of good tv.

I agree. I've liked all of them.

Ya, i could see them moving to another city for a bit. You can only do so much Damage in Miami. Weston has tore up Miami. haha

As I watched it tonight - another very good episode BTW - I was thinking...

"Man.... he has sent a lot of people packing from miami"

Woah!

Thats all I can say

ZOMG I can't wait until the finale. It looks absolutely amazing.

Great episode. I dont know how the hell they keep up this level of kick ass. 3 seasons in and there arent bad episodes. Not 1. some ok episodes but thats it.

Tony from 24 in it was pretty cool. I wonder who Simon is, They kept his face hiding from us. He has to be some well known actor. Cant wait to see who it is.

When the episode was unfolding, I thought, Fiona is in trouble again.... played out, but the episode took a different turn (thankfully).

And the whole Gillroy thing was really really well done.

I'm goddamn addicted to the show.

I need help.

THIS

Pure awesomeness.

They got Cromartie from Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles to play Simon. Nice.

Did you guys see SNL skit on this?

This?

I can't ****ing wait. Let's get this show on the road.

JUNE?!?!?!!?

ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME

AHRHFHGIL
KGHIL"WEhgl'sdhg;LSdhg;SDLghS"g

Wow - it was just really intense - I am AMPED!

Intense was the word I used.

$does anyone know when the season comes out on DVD? They did the summer season, and then added an addendum season-ish thing.

I can't wait to pick this up on dvd.

Good Lord, that was incredibly stupid. SNL used to be funny. What happened?

John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Chevy Chase, etc. quit the show.

Wow what the hell going to happen next.

Fukin June? Are u kidding me?
This is the only show I watch.

The funny part is, that I've got my current GF hooked on it.
She hates my ex-GF, and I can't bring myself to tell her that the only reason I started watching it, is because the ex was an extra in 3 episodes of season 2.

Ummmmm. Yeah. Keep that to yourself.

hehe, they split their season up nicely so they arent on a 7-8 moth Hiatus like other shows. USA does it nicely. White Collar they did the same with and that show kick ass as well.

I appreciated the 2 session series.

Friendly reminder that Season 4 starts Thursday. **** YES.

Rawk the mother**** out.

Schweeeet...

Gotta love Chiefs Planet. I forgot this was about to start up again. Thanks.

SO how was it? i am about to watch it now. Lakers game took priority.

not too bad -

Picked up right where they left off - almost a little too "Ok you're back now.. lets do this job"

but I enjoyed it

Just got done with this and Royal Pains, they were both good. Burn Notice always usually starts out a season mediocre to build for what main goal.

I liked how Michael turned the newbie into a client to keep tabs on him without letting him know who burned him. This looks to be an interesting addition to the cast and allows them some more latitude in the storyline. It will be interesting to see how they handle the scene where Jesse learns of Michael's role in "ruining" his life.

Isn't that what we learned in kindergarten?

Great show

Interesting that their 3 some is now a 4 some. I hope this doesn't make the show jump the shark like the Brady Bunch when they introduced Cousin Oliver.

its only going to be a few episode arc imo. Something will happen and he's going to try to take out the man who had him burned (Weston). He's not turning into the guy he was trying to seek out in the first season. Remember the guy that got shot on the top of that building when MIke was trying to find the guy that burned him. WEll, like i said, he's now that guy.

I do not like Jesse as a permanent addition. Oh, he is a handsome and cool guy and has screen presence, but bringing in an equal of the main guy is the fastest ticket over the shark. Years ago Remington Steele did that and went downhill fast.

Great minds think alike?

He'll be gone before the season is out. They will wrap up his story line, and set a plot for the following season with about 3 episodes remaining in the current season.

I love this show. That said, I still have problems with them operating with heavy weapons in the middle of the they and never being spotted by some bystander.

it will be way before that. My guess is the mid season break, possibly a few episodes earlier.

Know how we know you're ghey?:evil:

WTF? You didn't call me that because I called Jesse handsome, but because once upon a time I watched Remington Steele? Methinks you so naturally find Jesse handsome and desirable that you didn't find it objectionable. Now who is ghey?
;)

Dude, it's Remington Steele. I mean, come on. Really? Really? Now if you're actually a woman named "Frankie", then I take it all back and understand completely.

Anyone still watching this? This season has been really good again, but thats par for the course with this show. I love the addition of the 4th guy for now.

Pricing Hyundais as we speak. Noamsain!!

I still watch and love it. I love in last night's episode how he made reference to the episode where he was snapping his fingers and making this blow up - that was awesome

I loved Bruce Campbell kicking ass in the bar...

"she threatened to kill me.... Fi: I can do that"

no

I don't. It makes my favorite show feel like having jumped the shark already. Jesse is not enough of a second banana. Maybe they are propping him for his own show.

What still bothers me a little is they get away with that long of a firework in the middle of the day with no police or at least curious bystander showing up.

Yeah, love the show but there are some things I just have to pretend not to notice so it doesn't bother me. If you were tailing someone you probably wouldn't pick a brand new car that is blue and stands out like crazy either.

That's (the blue fancy car) exactly the comment I made to my wife as we were watching it. I love this show because it's pretty smart. But the two things you and I have mentioned are accepted only in shows like The A-Team and such.

This is what i tell myself everytime i watch a tv show, its TV. Its not real life. There are things that are going to be a bit out there. It happens with EVERY T.V show.

Then i enjoy greatness.

I'm thinking he dies - well at least hoping - the last episode he was toned down just a bit and was a little more palatable but yeah die jessie

ur a burn notice

When you are a spy, you need rear wheel drive and 300+ horsepower, the 2010 Hyundai Tiburon, see your dealers today!!

I've seen the first one. I'm going to catch up now.

In the intro Michael says that "bottom line, if you are burned you are going nowhere." Then his new burned buddy, Jesse, goes to the islands with Fiona. Somehow that doesn't add up for me.

Are they doing a catch-up on the episodes this weekend?

Jesse and Fiona got onto the boat illegally...plus, Jesse wasn't accused of being a psychopathic terrorist the way Michael originally was.

They also told Michael not to go anywhere. When he made that pipe bomb and sent it to his old handler. Mike told him, i am going to DC. he goes, dont go anywhere Mike, or they will have a manhunt for him.

Plus that guy leaving illegally in the boat.

The one with Burt Reynolds is FUNNAY.

"They always answer to Boris"

ROFL

I have DVRed last night's episode, but I have'nt watched it yet. I have to comment, though, about last week's one that I watched a couple of nights ago. I thought it was perhaps the weakest. especially the one complaint that I always have about this show was played up too much. I'm so afraid of the shark when it comes to this show.

except they have used the exact same formula for every single episode.
