    Remember the bank hostage episode from two years ago? I do not know why Burn Notice has lost its touch, but that magic from Seasons 2 and 3 just is not present anymore as the show feels so formulaic on a weekly basis. Michael gets a case, he rejects it at first, but eventually decides to help the guy out. Sam mentions a tactic from the 1980's to get them out of a jam, they do it and everyone is happy.

    The show is still good, I have to write that, but lately B Note has just been mailing it in. Hopefully they can turn things around.moreless

    • Michael: You got caught stealing a BB gun? Sam: Mike, it was a Red Ryder, okay? The Red Ryder BB Gun is a BB gun made by Daisy Outdoor Products and introduced in 1938 that resembles the Winchester rifle of Western movies. It is arguably the most famous BB gun in American history. Edit

    • Michael: (voice-over) Spies don't always make decisions based on training, experience, or potential success of a mission. Sometimes, it's just a matter of doing what you think is right, even if it means putting your fate in the hands of a stranger. Edit
    • Michael: (voice-over) In a hostage crisis, first contact with the police is critical. One wrong word from a hostage-taker can be the difference between the start of negotiations or the start of an armed assault. Edit
    • Michael: Right now, Sam and I are in the middle of a hostage situation. Fiona: Jesus, Michael! Well, tell me where you are and who's holding you. Michael: It's more like...we're the hostage-takers. Edit
