Burn Notice

I missed last season but will try to watch it. This is the same guy who was in Blair Witch Project 2 if you've ever seen it He's come a long way since then.

I love this show! Watching the DVR-ed episode now. One of my favorite shows.

Yes, Touching Evil made me a Jeff Donovan fan. I wish it had never been canceled.

I liked watching him as David Creegan a little more than I like him as Michael Weston... there was just something really unique about that character. But I'm glad to see him all the same.

Love it love it love it! One of my favourite shows! So happy that it didn't get cancelled after the first season, as so many of my fave shows do...

I just discovered Burn Notice and have quickly become addicted. I blew through the first two seasons in one long weekend, and have been eagerly awaiting each new episode.

I love what they've done so far this season. Michael's "revealed" status opens the show up for so many more storylines, and definitely raises the stakes. Anyone else having as much fun with this show as I am?

I just started watching it in the last couple of months. Something about the lead character that I just don't like. Not so much the character, but the actor. I don't know what it is and can't isolate it. I have a feeling I might have seen him in something else long ago and was disgusted or repulsed by his character, and now am having subliminal shivers.

I'm the same way about Brad Pitt, but have pretty much gotten over it. The first time I saw him was in some movie where he played an absolutely repulsive, nasty, disgusting character and it took decades for me to get past it.

To me, Burn Notice is a great show 'for us writers'.

Something about the voice overs, narration, acting, directing is very appealing to the writer portion of my brain.

I love the show, likewise caught all the episodes on ON DEMAND cable for free

Plus, this show is like free research for us writers for when we have to write about a spy

I love how they take the time to tell you about this technique or that technique, it gives the character a depth of realism that is unique. In fact, I think the voice over / narratives are why I love the show so much.

You know, at first, I didn't like the lead actor because I thought his character was too wooden. But then, it dawned on me how well this works. And then while he is in character he then transforms into another character (slim ball, pansy, fall guy, assassin, con artist, foriegn consultant, etc) that is the shows brilliance and shows his acting chops. All of this weaves together into a well written series.

Basically, he grew on me until I now can't picture anyone else doing this role.

Plus, I love his best friend. He seems like a great guy to go get some beers with

Mel...

Totally. Sam is a genius example of this as well. He's a nice cuddly guy, until he needs to put on his evil face and scare the heck out of people. The bank heist episode was a beautiful work of beauty, bouncing between Frivolous Sam and I Will Eat Your Children Sam.

I just started watching this show a few days ago; 4 episodes in and I'm all kinds of hooked. I love Jeffrey Donovan he's got the chops to play different personas in a way that Dushku doesn't have on Dollhouse.

I've not been able to watch this show yet (tragically, I am cable and satellite-deprived), but I have to buy it, huge Bruce Campbell fan that I am.

I just got into this show. I'm so mad that I have been missing out for so long!

The first thing I saw him in was Hitch... and he plays a pretty unlikable character in that movie, so perhaps that is where your association comes from. I almost didn't watch Burn Notice because of my own association with him playing that character.

Probably half the first season had gone by and somewhere between the promos and whatnot, I realized I'd only be fooling myself if I didn't at least check the show out. Sat down one day and watched a marathon of all the current eps and I've been hooked every since.

I really like all the actors but I've been a Bruce Campbell fan for years and I'm glad that he's finally been given a television role to shine in.

Holy cow, there's a third season going on? Why didn't anyone tell me?

On top of the upcoming season four, my favourite show has been picked up for two more seasons. So Burn Notice will keep on kicking ass for years to come.

Isn't anyone else watching this?

After last week's episode I don't not what to think... SPOILERS ABOUND****



Ansen, the last man supposedly responsible for Michael's Burn is dead, along with his brother. And there's no clue as to who could have done it. The only thing i'm speculating, and which I hold to be true, is that Nate was purposely killed. Whoever shot Ansen could have easily just picked him off. Yet they chose to take out Nate as well. That tells me that whoever did it was killing Nate to send a personal message.

Rebecca, the woman who kidnapped Mike and then took up his help to get her brother back, is a possible suspect. Perhaps Ansen killed her brother after he was rescued. So she kills Ansen out of spite and Mike's brother Nate because she's angry that her brother, who he rescued, is now dead.

Theories, anyone?

I've seen a few episodes, but the adverts are annoying the hell out of me at the moment - waiting to pick up the box-sets so I can watch it through in one sitting. Can't say that I'm impressed with the "lets squeeze the credits so they are completely unreadable" either.

DVDs are saving my blood pressure from going through the roof.

I'm watching, albeit slightly reluctantly at this point. I still like the show, but the plot holes are killing me. (Personally, I would have quit when Fiona turned herself in, though that's not a plot hole so much as stupid.) Hubby loves it, so we'll keep watching.

I didn't necessarily think the shot to Nate was personal. From the angle the sniper appeared to be shooting, s/he almost would have had to go through Nate. Collateral damage.
