Burn Notice Season 3 starting Jan 22

[DR. Jimcy M.E.]

One of the few shows on Tv that I actually like is coming back. Spys, Bruce Campbell and a few ha ha's what more could you ask for. I love all the little spy tricks and info you get from the show.

[Stormrider666]

I love Burn Notice. Can't wait for the season premiere.

[croscoe]

Burn Notice is a great show and Fi is hot! Skinny, but muscular and badass.

Great show. I didn't get into it until the second season started only because I didn't know anything about it. Flipping through channels, caught a scene with Bruce Campbell, not realizing what show it was. Stuck around for the rest of the episode and have been hooked ever since.

Caught up on all the episodes thanks to Hulu.

The producers of the shows on the big networks could learn something from this one. You don't need a huge budget to make a good show.

[JoeyDVDZ]

Anyone here see Body Snatchers? Gabrielle Anwar was in that, and we get full tit shot of her when she was a young'in. Yummy yum.

[ruckstande]

January is a good month. Battlestar Galactica returns, Burn Notice, and Leverage. Does Lost come back this month or is it next month? It really is shitty thought that with over 100 channels I can't find shit that interests me besides 4-5 shows.

[JoeyDVDZ]

11 days & counting for Lost.

[DR. Jimcy M.E.]

1 hour and I'm fucking stoked, I LOVE THIS SHOW!

[wyattj]

Great show, great concept. It is one of three shows I set the DVR for (Unit and 24 others) so as to never miss an episode. when In Plain Sight comes back the total will be up to 4.

USA Network is putting a lot behind this show if you look at the website and the promotion. Not that they are promoting it on NBC or any of their other properties, just USA and other cable networks. With the amount of garbage on tv and the real dirth of original content and ideas, why won't NBC promote Burn Notice?
Hot girl, good action, Bruce Campbell. Jeffrey can act, the story lines are good. Everything wrapped up in 43 minutes with one plot string to continue.

Well Donovan is making a name for himself even when not doing the show. He was in the changeling as the police captain which was nominated for 3 oscars. Even stupid Bob Kelly mentioned the show the other day claiming the shows making him craftier. Its a good show but its not a miracle worker stupid.

Thoughts on the first episode, loved the interrogation scenes. Bruce fucking rules on this show, the thing with the thumb and whistling while he put towels on his shoulders for no reason was great. Just fucking with the guys heads. Really starting to enjoy the music for this show as well, they use some amazing songs in certain episodes. The episode where Micheal fights Ex Spy Larry and has to save the ladies from the dump truck could be one of the best action sequence songs I've ever heard. Its not over done, you just hear and know theres a bad ass at work.

Micheal had my favorite line of the show though,

Micheal "by the way how'd the assassination go?"

Carla "the operation was compromised"

Micheal "which is why your hold-ed up in an office with two guys and a bag of Cheeto's"

[ruckstande]

I love this show. Its definitely not groundbreaking by any means but entertaining none the less. Out of the 5 shows I wanted to watch this week though it definitely didn't have the strongest opener. They need to delve more into his career and not saving every jackass they meet.

[Rob]

i just started watching this show, and am starting to like it... got the DVR set to record all new episodes...

[Awful Me]

Loooove the Burn Notice.

It's the only show I look forward to watching.

It was weird seeing Micheal kind of losing it. Especially when he went off about his brother being released from jail. But Donovan really pulled it off. I have always liked him as an actor (see the short lived series Touching Evil).

I never knew there could be such a thing as a hot fight scene but I was sporting wood when Fi was fighting Renee.

I don't know why but for some reason Tricia Helfer looked hotter than she did last season.

Anyway great start to the new season.

[DR. Jimcy M.E.]

I don't know why but for some reason Tricia Helfer looked hotter than she did last season.


Half way through last season she looked like she stopped eating for a week. I noticed that as well.

Yes I think that's it. A perfect example of how a little meat on a girl's bones can do wonders.

[askewcore]

Fiona looked AMAZING in the hot tub scene. Good episode, I love this show. I like the ongoing storyline that they deal with weekly but I also like how he has a new client to deal with every week too.

I'll be honest the first time I watched the episode I wasn't sure if I liked it that much but after watching it a couple more times (torrents rule) and picking up on little things like the music on interogation scenes, Bruce being a dickbag and Micheals funny lines. I have to say it was a very good episode.

[askewcore]

Bruce Campbell is amazing in this show. Every episode he is either funny, badass or both. You gotta love him, Cant wait for this week's episode.

(And Jimcy, I think you spelt Westen wrong in your avatar, but I'm not sure.)

[JoeyDVDZ]

I believe it's spelled Westin, but I could be wrong.

EDIT: Nope. IMDB says it's Westen.

[wyattj]

The show is what all shows should be. Great writing, good acting, action, hot Fiona. The characters on the periphery are just that, on the periphery. I don't care about his brother that much, and they keep his part to a minimum. The writers aren't forcing new characters on the viewers, trying to get us to commit.

It is the first time I've liked a show with a running commentary. Michael allows us to know what is in his head, what he is doing, and why. His speaking voice is pleasant, no Long Island accent. He can play other parts and not just the smooth spy. The Homer and the biological lab tech were quite good.

And what can you say about Bruce other than the fact he rules. Getting tortured, getting ready to torture someone, he is good.

The writers for this show should get more recognition. But, NBC blows dog and won't promote them. That piece of crap Chuck gets prime exposure and placement, Burn Notice gets nothing. I've never seen Chuck but I hate it.

[ruckstande]

And you, get up, and make some smoothies.

I love this show. Phie, Fee, Fie is fucking ripped.

[DR. Jimcy M.E.]

Great episode tonight, glad they brought Seymour back. The guys pretty entertaining.

[croscoe]

glad they brought Seymour back.

Seymour is great. "Do you like mango?"

Him getting antsy with the torch was hilarious.

[DR. Jimcy M.E.]

Seymour is great. "Do you like mango?"

That bodyguard is also pretty funny, hes useless except for comedic fodder. When Seymour has to read him the numbers at the end when hes inches in back of him was great.


I really can't fucking wait to see next week. Carla has to use her guys to save Micheal from being taken hostage at a bank and I saw the "wrangler" from the sniper rifle episode talking to Micheal in the trailer. I loved that guy, hes such a prick.

[DR. Jimcy M.E.]

Well I interpreted the commercial for this weeks episode all wrong but at least I wasn't wrong about it being really really good. By far my favorite episode of this season.

"fighting like a spy means disguising attacks as attempts to help, it means making acts of men seem like acts of god"

Such a cool line, also Sam just flat out ruled in this episode. I really wish the boys had talked to him about burn notice when he was on when...when Roland had his last day :(

I really like how they're getting Sam more involved in helping Micheal this season. I hope they bring back the woman Sam was trying to get with. Just so I can stare at her tits.

For the life of me, I can't remember the first episode the government agent was in.

It was in season one after mike got rid of the two FBI surveillance guys and he tried giving mike a security guard job and getting Fiona arrested to try and get him to go away quietly but Mike blackmailed him into leaving.

I saw him and thought he was Carla's wrangler who I HOPE comes back this season. He was a really cool character.

Okay now I remember. Thanks for the info. I wouldn't mind seeing Carla's wrangler return either. I think he was the first characther to actually get under Micheal's skin.

[askewcore]

Neither could I. I just chalked it up to being a burnout.

I'm with you guys on that. I like seeing Michael be vulnerable.

[DR. Jimcy M.E.]

That was great when Mike tries to get him to talk by threating to slit his wrist with the chess piece and hes got a gun pointed in his belly. I bet hes a former spy.

[MilkmanDan]

I like the show but the main character... not a really good actor.
then you got the tits, she's great a failed movie actress.
THEN ....

THEN THEN THEN....

Someone was smart enough to hire Bruce Campbell.

[wyattj]

Bought the season on iTunes and go back and watch the episodes. This and a few other tv shows/movies are starting to run together.

Was it Michael who paid the kids to tell the cops that the men in the car (his first FBI watchers) that the men asked the kids to sit in their laps?

The loft has becoming much better looking since the first couple episodes. Was there on offhand remark "Like what you did" or "Threw some paint on the walls" to explain how much better it is after the blast blew the heavy metal door off the hinges.

What happened to his car? It kind of disappeared.

I really like the monologue Michael has with us. He has a good speaking voice and style. Slow enough to make you strain for his next word, but not so slow you think he is in Alabama.

The writers should be getting more credit for this show.

I was in LA last summer when they were pumping for the 2nd season. Every billboard was covered, every corner had someone handing out Burn Notice frisbees and visors, drink coolers, anything. I hadn't watched it yet and refused to accept it, thinking a network show would be crap. I am an idiot.
The same network who brought us Pacific Blue. I should have trusted them.

1. Yup, that was Michael that setup the fbi kidtoucher scene.

2. Yeah the made the joke about the loft getting fixed.

3. I think the car gone blown up again at the end of the second season again, again.

4. Dammit I forgot about pacific blue. i wonder if its on the interweb.

[askewcore]

When Mike got blown up in his apartment, I think he landed on the car and busted it up.

If you needed to be saved, would you rather have Jack Bauer or Michael Westen coming to save you?

I would answer you but that women and the rope in your sig seems to have taken all of my attention at this point in time.

Westen. At least he will try his very best to keep you alive. If Jack sees an advantage in letting you die, you're a fuckin goner.

[wyattj]

Yes, Michael landed on his car, Sam made the comment about the car saving his life. Is he going to get it repaired? Love that car.

Thanks for reminded me about the loft comment.

For your question, Michael over Jack Bauer. If I need information extracted or someone silenced, Jack is the man. Michael to save my life or get me out. It is almost heresy to think of someone other than Jack Bauer.

The show has stayed out of politics and economics. I am happy for that. No matter the show, the writers have to work something from current day into the script. Not so on Burn Notice.

How cool is Bruce Campbell for taking this show, knowing he is the 3rd one in on the show. He has the biggest name recognition and resume, but he isn't demanding more of the show. He knows his role (and shuts his mouth).
Love Bruce. Bought Army of Darkness from iTunes just to watch it again.

[DR. Jimcy M.E.]

Well Micheal is a spy, his whole thing is "I was never here and you don't know who I am and theres no evidence here that could possibly convict me". He doesn't usually kill because bodies leave a trail back to him. He almost never uses his real name because people could trace it back to him. When he needs someone killed he tricks others into thinking they need to kill based on circumstances he creates. Your much more likely to live with him than a guy who would shoot you just as soon as he would look at you.

[LiddyRules]

I'd choose Westen as well. Not only does death follow Jack Bauer, he seems to want to get into a fire fight constantly. Westen tends to prefer not to open fire.

I have to disagree, Jeffrey Donovan is a pretty good actor. I have seen the guy play a hero (Burn Notice), anti-hero with some issues (Touching Evil), and a pyschopath ( an episdoe of CSI: Miami). Plus just look at the various identities he assumes on Burn Notice.

He may not show much emotion as Micheal but hes supposed to have been a spy for 15 years plus army experience. Your not going to freak him out or get him to lose his cool, his job depends on him staying in character while the other guy loses his shit and he bends them to his will.

[Awful Me]

I choose Westen.

Bauer works 2 fucking days a year, if you need help any of the other 363, you are fucked.

Plus with Westen you might get some Fiona on you.

He was also pretty good in Changeling.

I dont watch 24 and a buddy and me were having the Westen/Bauer argument. Looks like I won.

Great season finale. I'm glad the next season is starting in June.

[croscoe]

Holy crap this show is getting better and better. Can't wait to see happens next.

[DR. Jimcy M.E.]

Wow was that a good episode. The car scene where Micheal and Victor escape was so god dam cool. Even the music was good. Can't wait till June, old enemies will be coming to hunt him down, should be awesome.

What I loved about last night's episdoe, was it showed why Victor was able to get under Micheal's skin. Because of their similar skills and their way of thinking, they are bascially the same person. Although Victor was no doubt a little insane. It made wish they had more time working together.

My only complaint about the episode was that there was a little too much music playing. I didn't mind it during the car scene or during the ending. However I could have done without the rest of it.

I hated that he died to but if he did live it would be more of a sitcomy move then a good dramatic TV show move. The spies on burn notice always work together and then try and kill each other or die. Its just how it goes, there not a friendly bunch.

An excellent point.

[DR. Jimcy M.E.]

I'm rewatching the episode now and when Victor is talking about his family being killed he keeps taking these pauses and starts laughing when he thinks about carla killing them to get him. He really is a fucking psychopath.

[JoeyDVDZ]

I liked Victor. Shame the drama called for his death after his redemption.

Its amazing that the guy was only on 3 episodes and he seemed to become a fan favorite.

He was a cog in the machine and script hit that machine with a baseball bat.

Its a reference to the episode.

[wyattj]

Viktor is the perfect foil to Michael. Both concerned about family, both having reasons to want to kill Carla. Both excellent at their jobs. The only difference is Viktor is a psychopath. Excellent point about how he kept laughing and pausing while telling how he was recruited.

Carla getting touched by Fiona was a good way to wrap that section of the story without making it too drawn out. Fiona gets to kill someone, Michael can move on, and Sam gets some beer.

For the third season, I would like them to develop more of the Sam and Fiona character. How did Sam and Michael meet, let Sam get more into the plot. Same with Fiona. They started to do that in a couple of episodes, would like more of it. Let them fail on a mission. See how Michael responds to not saving the day. Not every mission can end with success.

[JoeyDVDZ]

Technically Michael failed last ep. Victor died, and Mike was trying to save him. (Yeah, Victor seemed to want to die, but still.)

I think this past season Sam was more involved with the plot. He definitely got more action when it came to executing the missions.

[wyattj]

Technically correct Michael did fail, but both he and Viktor could not live. One or both had to die. Management would see to that.
Sam was more involved, but it seemed in interrogation scenes is when Sam had more plot involvement. I did forget about him and the bank holdup with Bly.

New season starts June 4th. Not sure what time, so check your listings.

Can't wait. One of the few shows that has action, comedy a chick I find incredibly sexy.

Yeah I can't wait. Should be alot more spy vs spy stuff since hes no longer being protected from his old enemies.
