Movies and TV Does anybody watch "Burn Notice?" - Page 29

I watched the pilot episode to dismiss it but I've liked all episodes so far. It's a throw back to the PI series of the 70s and 80s like "Rockford Files" with a dash of "McGyver" thrown in. Good show so far. And well written.

The one thing that was a pretty huge hole is how did Michael end up with Charlie? Charlie got out with Jessie, and Jessie and Sam hadn't seen Michael at the funeral.

Overall, that was one of my favorite shows of all time. I think they did a real nice job with it.

Fiona could have picked him up. Could have had a family friend. Its not really a huge plot hole. They could have thrown any lame ass story together that would seem plausible. Hell, just say, one of Maddy's old ass friends took the kid to Mike and Fi

Did they really say that he hadn't seen Michael at the funeral?

They asked where he was and said something like "we'll see him again, when the time is right", but there was clearly some communication between them to let Sam and Jessie know that he made it out.

Afterall, Charlie had to go somewhere after the explosion and Jessie probably went to jail pretty quickly thereafter. It stands to reason that there was a handoff.

Now here's my plot hole - not necessarily how Charlie got to Michael, but Charlies whereabouts period. The CIA knows Charlie exists. They also know that Madalyn blew herself up and they'd have found the body in the home - but not Charlie's. So they know that Charlie got out and they know that James' guys got blown up.

So the CIA would likely view Charlie as a loose end. They're going to need to have an answer to that. Now I guess the short answer is they assumed that James' men got to him, killed him and dumped him somewhere - and that'll work. But it is the CIA, wouldn't they at least throw out some feelers looking for him?

And yeah - that's pretty much the ending that's been in the makings for the last 2-3 years (which is about the time I started watching the show). I was kinda hoping for Michael to take over the organization and turn it into a more 'Westinized' version; more benevolent but still heavily funded and well connected. But you knew that wasn't going to happen.

I did like at the end, when Michael is asking Fe what to tell Charlie about who he is. Fe says "just tell him the truth, my name is Michael Westin, I used to be a spy"...Just like how the Show always started.

Plus one last 'you know the CIA, bunch of bitchy little girls' earlier in the episode.

Did Maddie get to say "Someone needs your help" during the final episode? I don't remember hearing her say that.
