Another great program on USA. Well written, acted and produced. I wonder how many people that watch the show actually try to do some of the things he talks about like check washing, etc.

I can't speak for the other activities that Michael, Faye and Sam have done.
But the check washing they did, was exactly how it's done here in Las Vegas,
To pull off casino scams.
I think they put scotch tape over the signature so it doesn't wash away.

I'm kind of amazed at how sometimes they can get descriptive.
But thats the beauty of the show

Yay for it being thursday!! New Burn Notice and tomorrow's finally friday! Last weeks was really good.. i could definitely feel the chemistry with Michael and Fi, espcially since he kept insisting shes NOT his girlfriend (protest too much??) Great scenes with Michael and his mom too...

Have yall seen the promo for tonights with Fi and the stun gun? She is SUCH a bad a$$

Unlike Michael, I look foreward to getting burned, every Thursday night to be exact. ;)

Anyone know where I can get some decent knock-off's of Michael's cloths? Love the way the dude dresses but can't afford the real stuff he wears lol.

I hope this isn't much of a spoiler for anyone who hasn't seen last week's episode yet.



I was thinking last week after Sam's performance in the consulate that somewhere in this country, some fraternity guys saw this ep and are planning on sending some poor pledges in to an embassy/consulate this fall to see how much of an ass they can make of themselves before getting tossed out. Then we'll all see it on YouTube.

I don't think there's been one bad episode of Burn Notice.

Comrades episode
Glad to see Michael's brother back.

and we get Andrew Divoff, AKA Mikhail Bakunin from Lost playing another bad ass.

I feel like I learn something from each episode.
I never knew about the stun gun thing, of holding someone while be stunned.
Or maybe I did and I just never really thought about it.

Yes, great episode, I just love watching Michael play these people like a violin and get them to unwittingly do his bidding lol.

Gotta love Andrew Divoff, no one plays a terrorist/criminal/nutcase like him. I remember him most from the Wishmaster films and his memorable turn as the head terrorist in the underrated (and hard to find DVD) action film Toy Soldiers.

I enjoyed the plot of last night's episode, but something felt off about the writing or editing. Like the lines weren't quite as clever, or the cuts weren't quite as snappy. I don't know. It just felt "off."

I really enjoyed the episode for the plot and I thought the brother dynamic ws good, but I too felt that the dialog wasn't quite as sharp. There were some great looks though. It is a show you have to watch closely to catch the actors great interactions and responses.

I loved Thursday's Episode.. Totally agree that it was great to see Nate back and i really loved him interacting with Madeline.. Maybe all 3 of them will go to therapy next episode!!

Also, i have to disagree about the dialog being off... I thought there were alot of really funny lines, especially Fi's line about her "father having dementia"..remember that? I thought that was priceless..

I didn't feel that anything was off, either, as long as Michael is narrating and telling me how to build a GPS tracking device with some string, Elmers glue, chewing gum and a couple of paper cups i'm happy. :D

I would actually like for them to release a companion book to the show that has all of Michael's little tricks in it for getting out of situations and building gadgets, they could call it How to be a Spy: A Survival Guild by Michael Westin lol.

Oh yeah I remember, and the trick he did where he removed the ink from a check with nail polish remover is the real deal, my boss was telling me about it lol.

When the season ends i'll just watch it from the beginning again. :cool:

Liked last night's episode a lot better. My favorite scene was the first one between Michael and Trevor. A nice reminder of how bad ass he must look to everyone else.

This is a great show, watching season 1 on DVD now and not reading about what happens in season 2.

I like the fact that it is actually shot where it is set, at least season 1 in Miami was. Unlike, say CSI: Miami.

Me too, and I love how they showed it, when the font appears that read 'Trevor: The Client' that's the shows way of saying that Michael took the case without him actually having to say it hehe.

Michael was in a sticky spot this time, he was THIS close to actually aiding those creeps in robbing the place. I loved how Fi took her good ol' sweet time in yelling for police assistance when Sam was getting beat down lol.

She can be so mean sometimes. :laugh:

It was also cute/funny when Sam closed Fi's mouth and said "Your gonna get flies in there." lol.

Tonight's was an awesome episode. Michael Shanks (of Stargate SG1, which I totally missed in the credits) did a really decent badass character. Fiona's overzealousness was a treat, and good banter for Michael to deal with too. When is Number Six coming back in though?
