Burn Notice

By Myles Noel Kirkpatrick put together a post on “formula TV” over at Monsters of TV yesterday, and in highlighting Burn Notice he points out the following: …each episode will also find Michael trying to get back into the CIA (originally to find out who burned him and why), often near the end of the e...

By Alan Sepinwall(asepinwall@starledger.com) On the one hand, it was a good Sam showcase, and offered a lot of spycraft tips (warehouse roofs are easy to bust into, ice cream carts can be rigged to blow) and cool action beats (Michael, Sam and Mack walk down the side of a building under heavy fire). And it followed up on last week's Michael/...

By Myles I don’t know if the show can always do stories like this, but it was the first time Madeline really came into her own as a character, and I applaud Gless and the writers for crafting a really engaging arc for her that really elevated the episode.

By J.E. — “A Dark Road”: Burn Notice was finally back after a long hiatus! This is one of my favorite shows, so it was great getting to see Michael, Sam, and Fi back in action. This was a solid start to the second half of the season, and I’m looking forward to [...] Burn Notice 3×10 — “A Dark Road”: Burn Notice...

By Alan Sepinwall(asepinwall@starledger.com) Yes, I guess you do." -MadelineThe first half of this season of "Burn Notice" set up a couple of story arcs - Michael loses the "protection" of management, and Michael tries to get unburned - with a lot of potential I'm not sure the episodes entirely lived up to. But the back half of the season st...

By Tempo At times, "Human Target" was a decent, escapist hour of action-adventure (and "Battlestar Galactica" fans should know that Tricia Helfer and the guy who played Doc Cottle guest in the pilot).

"Greg The Intern" I love it. Burn Notice. Season 3, Episode 8. "Friends Like These" Recurring character Barry needs help. The absolute highlight of this episode came when Michael (while undercover) slapped Fiona on the face when she wasn't expecting it. That moment, and their exchanges afterwards, are a prime example of why Burn Notice is more than just a fun action-adventure show. It's got superb central characters and writers who know how to bring humanity and depth to these people. I laughed and I liked. And I want to see more.   [read the full post]

Nearly forgot! I have to add that I simply adore Gabrielle Anwar. Not because, thanks to her, Fiona is sexy and hot and stuff but because, thanks to her, Fiona is so cute and so sweet. Her pointed-remarks at Michael - with regard to them being a couple again, etc. - are both funny and genuinely charming.   [read the full post]

Pairing: vaguely Michael/Fi Rating: PG Spoilers: None Word count: 1098 Author's notes: Short, slightly introspective, nothing terribly angsty. I've been struck by the bug to write Burn Notice fic now that the season has started, and I'm happy to go with that!

Ratings/Warnings: PG 13 for mild violence. Word Count: 771 Beta:  None. Summary: Michael goes grocery shopping for his mother. Simple, right? If only things in the Burn Notice universe were that easy. This has been posted on fanfiction.net, but I just wanted to get some additional feedback.
