Burn Notice on USA HD - Page 31

Agreed, which is why I hope they decide to wrap the show up. It had a good run.

Definitely time to wrap up what was once a really good/fun show. It has gone down the plot rinse-and-repeat cycle too many times and the cartoon nature of the escapes and miraculous timing and routes used in car chases are beyond the pale. Fun while it lasted, but less so now.

They should use the virus to "disappear" Fiona. It should even erase her from anything that Anson has connected to the outside world if its as powerful as advertised. Anything he has left would point to "no one".

I still can't figure out why he didn't just tell the CIA about this guy and what he's trying to do and bust him already.

When even your long-time fans are saying it's about time for a wrap, it's time for a wrap. 'Burn Notice' is starting to take on the odor of 3 day old fish. It was fun while it lasted, but each new reiteration of the same old thing diminishes what it once was.

Are they trying to reach a certain magical number of episodes for the Holy Grail of Syndication, where everyone gets seriously paid? Because, at least then you could kinda' sorta' understand it.

It's still a fun ride to watch, but certainly not as good as a couple years ago.

I think it will get 1 more season and call it quits after that. USA has cultivated quite a number of other strong shows so they don't have to keep Burn Notice around just to keep it.

I don't know how they can seriously go "1 more season" without drastic changes in direction or even some cast. They have un-layered this onion of 'the REAL guy who burned Michael' so many times that it's simply no longer believable, no matter the reasons. How many more arch-villains beyond the current arch-villain can there be? About the only thing I can imagine would be killing a major player like Mom, Sam or Fiona and spin that out to a vengeance filled conclusion. But really, I hope they don't go there and just wrap it up.

They should keep the virus for themselves and "erase" their own identities for the series finale, which should be this season IMO.

Actually, that is what I was thinking might be the plan. They've laid the groundwork for it with the story of how this ingenious virus works in exactly that way. A 1/2 season chase of the current bad guy, ending with his demise as they skillfully inject the virus into the Gov't computers and walk 'off the grid' and into the sunset together, anonymous and safe without the need to look over their shoulders ever again. It could be a satisfying conclusion.

I was left feeling empty after that last episode. Not sure how much longer I'll keep it on my DVR list.

You just described my perfect ending to the show.

Agreed this would be great, but not likely to happen. There has to be some way for them to transition to a couple of movies.

As for syndication, what does it take? This show is already on MynetworkTV or whatever it is called.

"The... Internet"

LOL

Good Episode.

I have been watching reruns, I think. The latest episode I saw was the one Sam set up and destroy the English con artist who preyed on women.

I totally agree that this show is a joke now. The fun I saw in season two when Carla and Victor were around is no longer here. It's amazing how the most skilled con artists and dangerous killers just magically fall helplessly into traps setup by Westen and company.

Way to rebound Burn Notice by going back to its local and personal roots.

The action and plot wasn't predictable (meaning it was great), if only they would "Off" the blackmailer already.

Next week's show also looks pretty good.

Decent episode. Plot kinda sucked though.

I liked this episode...without the blackmailer's face.

Good action, funny at times and a solid villian.

I'm in it until the end, given the long commitment. But, once again, they simply waltz into a highly secure base and literally talk a hardened, professional bad guy into doing exactly what they need. They recycle this method very often and, as usual, the previously unmovable bad guy just suddenly agrees to do everything they need him to, no matter how preposterous.

You are correct. I am in this till the end. My main interest in the story arc. I would almost love to see a clip show of just the main story arc. A whole season could be reduced to 90 minutes.

I like how they used the old script shorthand device to explain a plan ("Remember Uganda in 1987? Remember the Paris Incident? Remember the Titans?") and still use examples from their ancient history. They really should start referencing other episodes we've seen because they've used that same trick every season. Usually multiple times.

Same old, same old for the show now. The only thing I really like is the incidental music that builds whenever they have a dramatic climax.

I liked this episode only for the Anson angle. I think I saw were it was renewed for another season. I am not sure I am going to stick around for another season.

I actually enjoyed this episode. Cool.

Anson was pretty interesting this episode and had some nice plays. The scences with Michael and his mom were good too, but the more layers of the arc onion the show pulls back the lamer it's starting to sound.

It was convoluted before but now Management™ not only replaced Madeline's shrink but they also orchestrated the father's death after interrogating him? What next? They arranged Weston's parent's first date to make sure Michael was born?

What makes this more stupid is that despite the apparent precognitive abilities of Anson and years of interviewing the parents to build a psych profile, Management™ couldn't predict what Michael would do after they burned him that resulted in him destroying the entire organization. Was Anson on vacation that week?

+1, its time to Off Anson now...don't arrest him he will just keep returning....

Anson kinda kills me. On the other hand he's a boss that hasn't cracked or given into Micheal yet. xD

My hope is this Anson business is done after the final 2 episodes this season. I'm getting really, really tired of someone "pulling the strings" all the time. I know the whole premise of the show is that he's a burned spy, but the series has lasted too long now to stick totally with that. Sounds like it's been renewed so then just give it a final season with the team doing their "freelance" stuff.

I liked the last episode, too. I thought the way Anson played with Michael's head was intriguing. You can tell the guy is a shrink, he really knows which buttons to press when. The thread with Beatriz was less interesting until Michael figured out a way to get the Russian hitman-spy off of Beatriz's back by enlisting the help of the spy's boss. The revelation that Anson had convinced the boss spy to tell the FBI that Sam was a Russian spy was inspired. The bottom line is that I still like Burn Notice a lot.

Anson makes things fun but how long can they continue this burned spy thing.

and how Mike still has a job with the CIA is beyond me?

The guy from Payback dying was pretty cool. I kind of figured Anson was trying to get the organization going again. I thought Michael would stop him this season. It looks like this is going to go on for awhile. I am not sure I am going to watch another season. I may change my mind just because it is summer and there is less to watch, but I wouldn't bet on it.

It's refreshing to see Michael finally stand up to the bad guy, in this case, Vaughn. Instead of always caving. I'll help you, but I need full immunity. I would love it if Simon came back to kick some ass, this time perhaps woking with Mike. Oh yeah, and Agent Pearce is sassy.
