    Donovan doesn't think he has the looks of a James Bond?!?!?! Holy crap has the man not looked in a mirror?! If he were any hotter the 'burn notice' would be because he's on fire!

    That said -- good show. I only recently discovered it but I'm hooked. Witty writing and smart characters with a lot of charisma.

    Great read, great series. I knew I'd like this show from the first episode when they establish Mike as the 'Anti-Bourne', having him get filled in on the floor by the Nigerian goons.

    G;ad to see it's a success.

    Yeah, it's kind of nice to have a hero who occasionally gets his butt kicked and occasionally has to really work for the win. The best thing about the character, though, is his sharp mind -- it's his greatest asset and greatest weapon and with last night's episode we're introduced to a character who can possibly out-think Michael.

    I like as well that "Carla" has his number -- she knows that, no matter what kind of bad crap he's done as a spy, he cannot walk away and risk an innocent being hurt.

    I was already fan JF and Burn Notice. Find it both very funny and entertaining. I likes his mind too, he is like McGayver,Bourne but also funny in one :D


    Im a big fan of BSG and i love Tricia Helfer so the second season got 100 more interesting for me. I hope she plays a wicked villain like character.

    I thought it was a shame that Lucy Lawless's assassin was killed off, because she would have made a great recurring villain for Michael. But Tricia Helfer is certainly up to the job.

    All due respect to Mr. Campbell, but I hope we see an episode or two where 'Jimmy doesn't get his medicine at the end.' I don't want to the show to go totally dark, but I'd like to see how Michael handles a failure. Bond and Bourne always succeed, let's see what happens to a super spy who loses something.

    I also like that he's a little bit of a fusspot; watches his diet, tells Sam to put on pants, etc.

    Default Burn Notice -- Season Two

    Does anyone here follow Burn Notice ? It's a funny show and it even has the ultra-awesome Bruce Campbell in it. That alone should be reason enough to watch it. Last week season 2 started. Give it a try. You might like it.

    You know I'd like to see more of Michael's shifty landlord. I don't think he showed up after the first couple episodes. I love Mike using his spy kills to take care of problems at the club, rather than paying normal rent.

    It is fun, a bit of fluff, not the most cerebral show ever, but a lot of fun. I've watched all but the season ender from last season and the premiere from last week. I'm looking forward to catching up though, it is like MacGyver, but for teens+ instead of 8-year-olds+.

    I've worked as an extra on both season 1 and now in season 2. I watched it at firts to spot myself in the background but I have to admit that I ended up liking the show alot and I'll catch episodes i didn't do.

    As is, I liked the season 2 premiere. the bit at the end with the new handler was great. I wonder what the deal with the puzzle is. I can't wait till the next episode. hopefully we'll get more info on who is giving Micheal his new orders.

    I just finished watching Season 1 & the premier. Solidly done show. I'm intrigued by Clara's plans for Mike, and how it will impact his dynamic with Sam and Fiona (the best dang part of the show).
