Burn Notice

[cerealkiller182]

I think I like the USA mid-season breaks a lot more, they do it on SyFy too, which is a sister sight of theirs I think. I think its a good way to break it up for the viewers and the actors. Although i suppose while it gives them a lot of personal time, its probably not a lot of time to venture outside of the show.

I was hoping Michael would detonate that bomb he put on that boat with those Irish bastards....but framing them for the murder of Strickler works I guess.

Great show. Happy to see Michael finally kill someone and it was for a good reason. Made it that much more shocking though. This show is amazing and is quickly becoming my new 24.

I was trying to figure that out myself. No idea.

Campbell & Gless did an interview & talk about season 4 a bit:

“We’ll go at least eight [seasons] — Monk did eight and we’re outpacing them in ratings” compared to Monk’s third season, Campbell said in a conference call Tuesday. “Admittedly, I have to say, I’m not looking over my shoulder. I’m fully prepared to drive this show to the bitter end.”

Campbell said the show’s success is based on the “hybrid” nature of giving the right amount of familiarity with each episode combined with a little progression towards Michael’s quest to find the man who burned him.

“You want to hang with Michael, Fiona, and mom to see what adventures they get into every week yet, at the same time there is a constant progression,” he said.

Emmy Award-winning actress Sharon Gless who plays Madeline, Michael’s chain-smoking, worrisome mother, was also on the conference call shedding light onto her own performance.

“I think Maddie is starting to trust more,” Gless said, citing a previous episode where she successfully interrogated a man for the whereabouts of her son. “It’s not often that I get to 1-up Bruce Campbell in interrogation.”

While both actors admitted to not knowing the future of their characters prior to reading each script (nor did they want to), they did discuss a few things that will show up in season four.

In one episode Michael gets into some ethically questionable territory that Sam refuses to help with, Campbell stated.

“Michael is going to get in real deep,” he added.

Also confirmed for next season is a guest appearance by Gless’ former Cagney and Lacey Co-star Tyne Daly.

- Yeah, I checked over at imdb. Apparently the voice belongs to .....

Spoiler

Chris Vance. Probably known more for playing Whistler on Prison Break. Currently the star of Fox's Mental.

He'll make a interesting baddie.

- 8 seasons !? God, I hope they got a good storyline lined up to keep it from becoming stale and boring. Hate to see it turn into **** when it hits season 5.

- A mission that not even Sam would take part in !?

 

[Anubis]

Wow, I didn't know she was the blond on Cagney & Lacey.

And he couldn't have done it to a more deserving person.

Spoiler

Of course he could. In fact, there was a more deserving person featured in the episode. I mean this guy hits schools (among other things) with bombs. And to top it off he uses rat poison in the bombs to make the deaths more drawn out.
The end tally of the episode confuses me. Strickler gets killed and this dude only gets jail?

when he gets to jail or out of jail he will be a dead man. the people that he was working for will want him dead and he will be an easy target in jail. so in the end he will get his just like the guy that mike killed.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

I figured Strickler was a weasel, but I didn't think he'd resort to something like that... and he was alot stupider than I thought he was; did he REALLY think Mike was gonna allow that to happen?

Also... a mission Sam won't help on?

Can't wait to see that.

Spoiler

It was just a generic comment to state that Strickler deserved the bullet. Also, who knows what heinous things Strickler has ordered done for the sake of money?

As for the other guy, it hurts my heart to see Dresden as a baddie (I still miss that show), he deserved to die as well. The way I see it he didn't get the easy way out, since he gets to suffer a bit, before he gets killed, which will happen.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

You should watch 24.

Good episode. Strickler was a total *****e but I didn't expect his subplot to end so quickly. Still, I suppose it makes a lot more sense than Michael being dumb enough to get dragged down into even more morally ambiguous territory for episode after episode just to build a false sense of suspense.
