I think it gets better in the later episodes of the season myself.

I agree, as the season progresses the actors get more comfortable with their characters, some sexual/love subtext builds, and Sam gets funnier!

The middle of the season drags on a bit especially the episodes that have more of an emphasis on Michael's mother & brother. After you get past those, the quality definitely improves. I'll be picking up the Season One DVD set later today.

A quick programming note for those who missed Season One & don't like watching TV shows online &/or don't want to roll the dice on the DVD set. USA will be running a Burn Notice marathon on July 3rd starting at 6:30 am EST. All 12 episodes will be run in order.

Thanks to my TiVo for alerting me to this by adding all 12 episodes to my To Do list without me asking.

How convenient!

I have been enjoying season 1 an episode per week for the last month or two. We've gotten past the mother/brother episodes and back to the good 'ole espionage action.

I can't wait for seasons two already even if they are breaking it up like other USA shows. * episodes then another 8 or so later in the year.

[Professor Dent]

Saw a pretty cool 60 second teaser for season two last night. Billy Squire's Everybody Wants You plays while they show a mixture of promo & episode clips (which I assume are from the next season). Now I really can't wait!

It's up on the USA website. Fun stuff. They're also running new snips of the new season.

*Michael stands over goon duct taped in the trunk of the Charger*

"Now, if you're good, you can ride up front."

Oh yeah, I'm ready for the "Burn".

Me too--I may end up chasing Santa round the couch!

[Bryce (003)]

Counting the days now.

Clips are promising.

Michael: "We've got a job."

Sam: "Does it pay?"

Michael: "No, it's more of a "If you don't do it, we'll kill you" sort of thing. I need a sniper rifle and some C-4."

Well, tonight's the big night. I'm kicking back with high hopes(I just typoed there "high popes" but I don't know any popes, certainly none who are high). And I'll do this despite McPaper's damning 2-star review. In their unhumble opinion the series goes down hill this year. Why? Because they've chosen to focus on the driving subplot of what our hero does after learning who burned him--instead of focusing mostly on individual capers. I can concentrate just fine, thanks, on both a plot and subplot!

Michael Weston Will Return... TONIGHT!

Who else thinks Bruce Campbell would make a great Felix Leiter?

He would have made a great Felix Leiter in the Brosnan era but he's too much of a comedian for the Bond films now.

Yeah... good point.

'T' minus 3 hours & counting for those of us on the east coast.

Going just by his Burn Notice character (that's all I've seen him in) I'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between him and Jack Wade.

Just got home from golf league 15 minutes ago and I am ready for some BN!

[Righty007]

Just watched the first scene. WOW!

[Righty007]

I'm intrigued by this 'Carla' person...

[dodge]

I'll be watching the recorded show tonight on my DVR--sounds good!

Burn Notice: The Soundtrack is now on iTunes, FYI.

Damn good fun!

I was bit wiped out yesterday from a graveyard last minute editing gig, and hadn't gotten home until after 9am. Fortunately, I had recorded it as I was zonked out. Unfortunately, I missed out on a promised dinner with Miss West at Guido's and now my sleep schedule is off.

The pay was long, but the night was longer on my gig. Miss West will be making me pay for that missed dinner. She's probably deciding exactly how to kill me.

Now, having been up at 3am, I have viewed the episode.

The V.O. narratives are still the sharpest (also very educating for a spy), the action was good, Sam was spot on, and Fiona...Well...Fi is the hottest spy-chick/IRA gunrunner/marksman - excuse me - "marksWOMAN" ever.

and now Miss Carla - interesting "Thank Sam for the help with the crossword" - Great move.

We're off to a another good Burn.

[Matt_13]

The V.O.'s are definitely the shows strong points, and it was made quite apparent in the season opener. I thought the dialogue was a little chippy at some points (especially with his mother) but overall it was a good way to reintroduce Weston and to get us up to speed on what's going on. Looking forward to next week's entry.

Oh, and Weston's accent was awesome.

You need to see "Bubba Ho-Tep" and "The Evil Dead" trilogy (directed by Sam Raimi). Not that he's like Felix in those movies, but just to see more of Bruce Campbell.

The show is presented by Saab, even though the main car this week was Sam's shot-up CTS. Then at the very end Jimmy gives Michael a Saab convertible.

I certainly hope Burn Notice isn't going to turn into a product placement show.

Other than that, it is great to be back up and running with season 2!

What do you mean??? The sub premise of Burn Notice is nothing but product placement - the whole show is a conspiracy set forth by the Yogurt companies.

[Double-0-7]

Maybe the overall yogurt industry, but he sure hasn't shown us what brand he favors - yet!

Indeed, then it'd be easier to accuse it of following in Bond's footsteps

[Righty007]

The season pass is $29.99 on iTunes!

Burn Notice: The Soundtrack is now on iTunes, FYI.

Music or songs, Righty? Not really interested if it's only songs.
