Burn Notice

Nice turn of events in this episode when Michael help out thought to be distress victim stalker turns out to be an undercover DEA. They teamed up together to take down a member of the drug cartel, meanwhile Michael tries to get find the guy who does laminated government badges that are suppose to be counterfeit proof. Michael finally gets a lead on Carla even though its small, all in all great episode but, want to see more.

This one was definately not the greatest I have seen from the fantastic show.



Burn Notice has amazing potential and it is a great show, but after such a long wait, they cant drop us a semi great episode.



I didnt think the first ep of second season was that brilliant but thought to myself that the second one would please, but it didnt.



I wont stop watching this show because once again it has potential to be one of the best shows that I currently watch and know that it should pick up.



Once you watch alot of shows, you need to expect the odd set of episodes that drop the benchmark for others.



8.5/10

We see the mysterious woman carrying dishing out assignment to Michael, though all of a sudden she seems keen to meet up with him. At the same time he helps a client that is being stalked by a ruthless drug smuggler. Though I always enjoy listening to Michael go on about how a spy might execute his jobs, and derive such pleasure in Sam's somewhat hapless character, this episode felt to casual. The jobs are being portrait as way too easy to Michael, and his attitude a bit carefree - like he will always find his way out. Of course that is part of his character, but I think we need to see some a bit more hair-raising episode soon. We need to feel again that Michael and his friend/family might be in real danger.

Carla appearing was very good and frustrating. I say frustrating because she's threatening Michael with hurting his mother if he doesn't do what she wants. I wonder how long this will last. But it adds more excitement to the series.

The case was good. I liked all the things Michael and co. had to come up with in order to get Raul to trust him, turn him into a traitor and give up. Nicely done.

Michael's story with his mother was a surprise. But listening to both of them at the counselor's office was both sad and revealing. So that's why their relationship is like that. There's no communication. They took things for granted and that's why they're in deep trouble.

Sam and Fiona great like always, getting use of their skills to help someone.

Michael helps a woman that happens to be a DEA agent working under cover to catch drug dealers. I liked how Michael dealt with the situation. It reminded me of the season 1 episode where he stopped the local group that was taking money from the local businesses. I like his new relationship with Fiona, but I rather them still be together. The thing I loved about this episode was Michael going with his mom to the counselor. I love learning more about their relationship and past. Overall, good story and great character development. This was another solid episode of Burn Notice.

I just cannot imagine someone watching this show and not liking it. In this episode Michael teams up with a DEA agent who is posing as a waitress to bring down a drug cartel. In the meantime Michael must also obtain some computer id cards for his new handler. The man that makes the cards ends up dead and Michael and the agent bring down the cartel. Michael also gets his first lead as to who his new handler is. He finds out she speaks arabic with a kurdish accent which leads him to believe she probably served in Afganistan. This was another great episode and this show is just awesome. I would like to have seen Sam and Fiona a little more but I know we will get plenty of them in upcoming episodes. Keep it up Burn Notice, you are a great show.

It is brilliant how michael handles various jobs at a time and this episode is the perfect example of it. There are many reasons why i like this show, few to mention are - Brilliant story telling like the spy notes, no hard-core action, michael being perfect in every thing he does and the beautiful miami of course. This episode is the streak of subtle case handling, as it should be in season 2. I liked how quickly michael recognizes 'the client' is not actually what she shows but she's a detective. The plot was beautifully divided among various stories. The main being the detective plus michael is also engaged solving his burn mystery. This time he also gives some time to his mom and goes for counseling with her, which proves to be rather emotional. All in all it was a brilliant episode as usual.........

Good episode overall. Not much has changed since season one, which is sure to annoy some people. I however, am not one of them. I wish that the new handler and her story were in each episode more, but she did have a more dominant role in this episode then she did in the first, which I was happpy about.It seems Micheal is always going to try to figure out what they are asking him to do.In this episode he has to create a fake entrance card, but into what he does not know. The regular case in this one felt like they kind of did it before. Weston infiltrates a drug ring and puts them under. This time he has an undercover cop invovlved. The scene where the gun was to her head and he simply didn't lose his cool was my favorite scene of the episode. He knew what he was doing and I like how the writers an write as well as scenes like that. Overall, little bit better the the pilot, which is horribly underscored.

I do not like the Tricia Heller character, seems like a pretty face just to have another one on the show. In real life handlers I doubt if they are like that, most of them from what I have seen are normal ordinary people so they do not attract attention. Guess the writers of this series did not read that part of the undercover spy book.

Spies just need to be faceless in a crowd, and I guess I did not like her in Battlestar Gallactica also adds to the displeasure. The way they set up the drug dealer was good, I liked the twists there. The entry card part may have been another way to get rid of Michael, but he has a copy of the card and that list, this is going to be a year of collecting bits and pieces.

Nice episode. Apparently, no one is ever who he or she seems to be in this series. Michael's new handler forces him to have an electronic key card duplicated. The focus, however, is on the assignment that Sam talks Michael into--helping a woman who is being physically abused by her boyfriend. It turns out that the boyfriend is fairly high up the ladder in a drug ring, and the abused woman is actually an undercover federal officer. Sam turns the tables on the drug cartel in fine and funny, if still somewhat implausible, fashion. The scenes with his mother are funny and touching. They are also suspenseful, because we know the agent or agents who burned Sam are also a major threat to his mother. Good writing and good acting make for wonderful entertainment.

Whoever hired Tricia Helfer to do Burn Notice knows what they are doing. She plays a perfect 1970's female villain, and her sexy allure takes immediate control of the screen. It's a shame she won't become a series regular as she is the kind of actress that can take this show from acclaimed cable series to a possible Emmy contender.



This episode was a step-down from the season premiere as there were points where things started to drag on. The client, who turned out to be a police officer, and the following case seemed kind of forced and not as action-packed as past adventures Michael embarked on.



Gabrielle Anwar was underutilized in this episode as well. She is a talented actress and her wit is a refreshing change of pace to the show. I also didn't like the whole storyline with Michael's mother. It's laudable that they try to incorporate the parent into every episode; it just isn't needed here.



Burn Notice is still one of, if not the best summer series, but I know that they can be better than this.
