Burn Notice s2 ep 5
Everyone has a weak spot, and Michael’s no different – no matter what the job is, dude cannot and will not walk away if there’s a kid in harm’s way. Hence the absolutely lovely scene this week when reformed getaway driver (or “expediter” as the advanced ones are apparently called) Trevor talked our hero into helping him stay on the straight and narrow – “I have a kid, man.” And in that moment, we all knew, it was on.
While trying to stop the jewel heist Trevor was press-ganged into without getting Trevor killed, the team also had Carla’s office to think about breaking into, and Sam’s relationship with Veronica to try not to break up. All of which made for a decent episode, with lots of enjoyable moments albeit not quite up there with this show’s best. Is it just me or is that a running theme this season? Burn Notice is great fun, and I’ve been enjoying it a lot this year, but not quite as much as I did last year. We still have half a season for them to step it up and reach the giddy heights I know they can, though, so here’s hoping.
Really liked this one. Best of the season so far, I thought.
I’m still loving it and it’s certainly the most consistent series on TV. The Carla story hasn’t been moving along much which slows the pace a little and, unlike last series, we don’t have as much of the Michael-Fiona thing but it’ll get there.
I’m beginning to think it’s me. I don’t seem to be wholeheartedly loving anything at the moment. Maybe it’s some form of Winter Blues. Or maybe it’s because Chuck’s finished.
Supernatural is pretty good (i.e. I look forward to watching it), Mad Men was pretty good (and I now miss it), but there’s not much on the schedule that I can’t wait for.
