The Westens make an End Run around Michael’s Old Enemy « multipleverses.com

The Westens make an End Run around Michael’s Old Enemy Review by Baudyhallee Season 3, Episode 3 – End Run Written by Craig O’Neill and directed by Dennie Gordon.  These two paired up for last season’s Sins of Omission.  More about that later.  It’s refreshing to watch a show that is all about symmetry and continuity on all levels.  Thanks Burn Notice! Yogurt, police, cleanup, surprises.   Oh yea, and brother Nate arrives with Detectives Paxson and Lopez in tow.  So Paxson is questioning all of Michael’s nearest and dearest – but we still don’t know why he’s being investigated (er. . . harassed).  A little clarity in that regard would be nice.  Maybe I’d see Paxson’s purpose and appreciate it more. Nate is bellyaching because he’s only been in town six...

Opinion: Fri, Jun 19, 09 - Arrested Development, In Plain Sight, Burn Notice, Party Down

source: A Briefing With Michael

07.00 Arrested Development 08.00 In Plain Sight 09.00 Burn Notice 10.00 Party Down Arrested Development. Episode 3. "Bringing Up Buster" Buster comes to work with Michael. George Michael tries out for the school play. As well as being supremely funny, this is a rather sweet episode. The core of it revolves around Michael's relationship with his son, and the ending contains dialogue that is genuinely sweet and moving. And a little cornball. Burn Notice. Season 3, Episode 3. "End Run" Brennen (Jay Karnes) returns, holds Michael's brother hostage and forces Michael to do some dirty work for him. This is one of the things that makes Michael stand out from the crowd: he is smart, and he wins by being smarter than the bad guy.

Opinion: Fri, Jun 12, 09 - My Boys, In Plain Sight, Burn Notice, Party Down

source: A Briefing With Michael

06.30 My Boys 07.00 In Plain Sight 08.00 Burn Notice 09.30 Party Down Huh? Burn Notice. Season 3, Episode 2. "Question and Answer" Kidnapped child. Also worth noting: the wonderful Moon Bloodgood joins the cast in this one, and she gets more to do here than she did in the first six episodes of (the also very wonderful) Journeyman. Oh! 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.
