Burn Notice on USA HD - Page 26

+1 Yeah...I live in South Florida and I'm still blown-away.

Finally got around to watching the latest episode last night. Another good one. I agree, the PQ is far better this season.

A lot less grain to it. The first few seasons looked pretty bad for HD programming. I have no complaints now, though.

They seem to show the same aerial scenes. Why don't they go a little west and show some of the slums of Miami?

My best friend mentioned Fi may be behind it a couple of seasons ago. When it didn't happen, I think I didn't give it another thought. It would create an interesting dynamic, if it was true.

What a Rollercoaster of an episode...that was intense...I guess Mike isn't gonna get unburned after all....

Outstanding Picture Quality!!

It was good to see Barry. It's always fun to have him around. I did not see that ending coming. Wow!

Ditto. I thought we'd see more of Mike teaming up with his CIA liaison on side-jobs, especially after that conversation they had while waiting for the files to copy from the stolen tablet.

spell it "spoiler" instead of "spolier"

LMAO! Thanks!

Yep, that ending was a surprise and really sets the stage much better for things to come. I wasn't all that impressed with the main story until that happened.

I didn't really care to much for the plot of the week. I think it was kind of contrived. Maybe I was having a bad day and was pissed about third world Miami.

I wasn't and still can't figure out where they are going to go with main story arc. This may be interesting.

The client "formula" is getting a little predictable...but I'm realy into the new murder/frame-up plot.

Yeah, this weeks client story didn't really do it for me. I found the guy kind of annoying. I did feel for Jesse and his car though. The CIA story arc is fantastic. Wish they focused a little more on that.

I kind of liked Matt Lauria as the revengeful brother and budding spy in last night's episode. He is a pretty good actor, I think. The twists and turns behind finding out who is setting up Michael for his CIA handler's murder are fascinating. In that regard I still can't figure out where Michael's new handler, the formidable CIA agent, is coming from. Is she Michael's friend or his nemesis? So far, we just don't know.

The client stories have always been generally weak (IMO) and just provide filler so they don't have to rely too much on the overall Burned arc. They must feel that dropping little tidbits is more alluring to the audience than serious focus on it week by week. But, oh that Sam - never knew a guy to have so many connections at the right time. From hooks into every possible law enforcement database and operation to the always-handy rich lady who can provide fully staffed mansions with guests and Maserati's and yachts. Must be nice. And, was it just me, or did Weston's hair look...odd...color, wig? I'm not sure, but it looked different to me.

I kind of didn't like this weeks client either. Of course this is Miami, so it isn't implausible to have that many needy clients running around. This is scam central afterall. The overall story arc is ok so far, but does seem a bit forced. Hopefully it will progress to something a lot better.

Funny episode, OH **** ending!

His hair was different, maybe longer and styled different? Ir didn't look right.

I thought this week's episode was fairly strange all around. They never told the guy what they did, but kept telling him to give them his secrets and they'd magically make him rich. I'm used to the holes with this show and can normally overlook them, but it just seemed ridiculous.

I don't see that as a problem at all. Sam's "buddies" have been a running gag since the show started. And hey, he's a likeable guy. I'd have a drink with him and do him a favor!

I really liked the fact that Michael was working with the CIA again and I especially liked Max - the small-talk scene last week was funny - so I was really dismayed when he got killed. however as soon as Fiona said "He's one of the good guys" I knew things were going to go sideways. I expected him to be a bad guy though.

Not excited about another arc, especially after the convoluted disasters of recent seasons. Which is why I think this show is much better with cases. The arcs after season two have been poorly conceived, nonsensical and badly paced.

Wasn't excited about this week's case. I thought the client was annoying and for someone who was supposed to be a sniper he didn't have much patience. I couldn't imagine him lying prone in the desert for hours observing a target.

Funny thing about this show. I really don't care that much when the humans get damaged, but whenever a nice car takes a hit it makes me squirm. When the rear bumper came off the Porsche I really felt it.

Good to see the charger back in action.

There was one amusing car moment this episode which a lot of people probably missed. The shot of the Ferrari zooming up the driveway to the house was clearly footage that was speeded up. I can only imagine that whoever lent them the car or the place they rented it from didn't want anything remotely dangerous done with it and they had it pull up at about 10 miles an hour. Even Bruce barely touched the car when he was cleaning it.

Don't get me wrong - I don't mind Sam and his contacts. I agree he's very likable and all of his 'connections' help make the stories fun. They just aren't very realistic and the show generally tries to pretend to be somewhat serious about its spy-reality. My comment wasn't really a criticism as much as observation.

I agree about the sniper character. He was far too out of control to be taken seriously as a pro sniper with special ops.

His sister was, for all he knew, dying in a hospital bed... But yeah, you're probably right: his character was all wrong.

I maintain my position on his character's out of control actions not comporting with a professional military sniper, regardless the situation you describe.

I feel very strongly both ways. Besides, the disagreement is hardly a matter of life and death, given that it was only a TV show.

Oh, I don't feel strongly about it at all - it is just a TV show. I merely made an observation about the character and still feel that way despite the unnecessary snark in the quoted reply.

I agree w/ a previous poster that Michael's hair was different. In fact, at times it looked like a rug.

Classic Burn Notice.....funny, dramatic, tense and fun.

I'm really feeling the whole murder mystery sub-plot.

Definitely a solid episode.

Bringing back the two bureaucratic weasels from the Sam Axe TV movie was a nice touch.

Unnecessary snark? Really? If you recall, I agreed with you, but was simply pointing out a portion of the story. How's that an unnecessary snark? You need to calm down.
