Blogging on Burn Notice

August

While watching Burn Notice last night, I tried to figure out why I’d been having a hard time blogging on it lately.

I still enjoy it; the mystery of Michael’s burn has been taken up a notch with Carla’s addition to the cast; Fiona’s hesitance in screaming for the police because she didn’t mind Sam getting a little bit of the crap beaten out of him was vintage BN (if anything in its second season can be considered “vintage”).

I came to this conclusion: I have no idea. How’s them apples?

So about last night:

You knew the second that he got pulled away from Carla’s hideout that it wasn’t going to be so simple for him again. Unfortunately, Michael Westen has a soft spot for losers who get into trouble so he went to help on the “heist” rather than break into Carla’s hidey-hole.

Can’t say I was surprised at the champagne and mylar balloons that greeted him second time around.

But he’s getting closer, and Carla and her handlers must be sweating a wee bit, don’t you think?

And was it, me or did anyone else think the episode was slightly darker last night, what with the bad guys turning on each other and the woman killing the mastermind, believing he had the jewels? Usually the bad guys get caught by the authorities, even badly injured. But she put one right between his eyes. Brutal.

And poor Sam, getting kicked out. Fiona was 100 percent right, though. The fact that he was still married had to come out sooner or later, and I honestly think Sam’s girlfriend maybe overreacted a bit. Sam should seek out his ex and file for divorce and all will be fine. Or he’ll just find another sugar momma.

Or, do you think â€” perish the thought! â€” that Fi and Sam might some day get together.Â Naah. Or?

Missed Michael’s mom last night, though.

See? This is what I mean. I can’t seem to find a lot to write about BN.

Help me out, folks.

I can relate to what you’re talking about. Except for me, it isn’t blogging about it, but watching it. Every time I watch it, I really enjoy it. But when it’s an hour away, I’m not excited about it and I actually consider skipping it. Don’t know why that is.
