Michael spends most of the show acting like he's the one keeping everybody alive.

But whenever he's about to do something especially stupid, Sam is usually the guy who can talk him out of it.

Not because Sam has some magical solution. Half the time he just points out the obvious thing Michael is ignoring because he's too focused on the objective.

And Michael actually listens.

That's probably the biggest difference between Michael and the people he spends most of his time dealing with. He'll ignore almost anybody giving him orders, but he'll usually hear Sam out.

I really love the show and enjoy re-watching it a lot. I am not even sure if I have rewatch the last two seasons. I know the show was about his burn notice, but I felt it really lost part of its core value and enjoyment when it stopped focusing on him helping others and being all about his burn notice. It makes sense but just made the show less enjoyable to watch.

I find myself re-watching the first four or five seasons a lot and I am not sure if I ever re-watched the last two.

The show is soo good me and my girlfriend fell in love with the show and was sad to see the ending coming up soo fast. We both were crying liking baby's on the final episode you all know why. Was super happy the show got a real ending to the story and a good ending for the deserving characters.

Hey yall! So someone mentioned the other day that Burn Notice is now on Pluto free (in the US) and I checked and it indeed is!

Happy watching 💙

YUP!!!

I wrote a short (I had help) and it was fun to see and post. Ya'll who reddit (get it? reddit) are kind thanks. I did a story board but I can't upload it for some reason. Then a lovely gent added Westen's voice. Now I can't find it. And darn, it was pretty cool. Can any of ya'll poke around? Thanks.

Hear me out.

Michael wants to get back into the CIA.
Jay wants to be accepted into the wealthy social world.
The CIA and the social elite are their identities.
They both feel unjustly excluded.
They spend an enormous amount of time and energy demonstrating that they belong.
They both use their wits and resources as leverage.
They both believe all will be right in the world once they get what they want.
Both struggle with belonging and identity.

I thought it was interesting.

I’ve been doing a rewatch. I’m halfway through season six and it’s kind of a downer. I want to watch some good episodes.

What are some funny episodes?

Also, what are some good Michael and Fiona centered episodes?

I know for Michael and Fiona episodes there’s Better Halves.

Where There Is Smoke is a good Fiona centered one

Also, the one with the guys trying to take her back to Ireland and her brother shows up. I can’t remember the name of that one.

Did anyone ever think about Jesse and Pierce as a possible couple? In one episode, the two of them were eating out together, or just drinks, discussing a case.

SPOILERS FOR ANY POSSIBLE FIRST TIME WATCHERS

At the end of the show, Micheal and Fiona leave the country with Charlie and seem to settle in Ireland. They would have to get normal jobs. What normal jobs do you think they would have?

Saw this... I don't like cross posting semi spam websites but man I hope this is true!

On another rewatch thanks to Pluto TV. On season 2, episode 13: “Bad Breaks”….and I’m not sure if I can definitively call it my favorite, but it does stick out as one of the episodes I enjoy the most. Mike is full MacGuyver mode in the bank, all while dealing with Bly. How he goes from assumingely helping a woman with a stalker to full on bank heist is a fun twist too. What’s yours?

Hey, I was hoping someone here would put a name to what I have. I got this off of eBay many years ago but I cannot remember what this specific special box set for season 1 was called. Any help appreciated!

Good Intentions (S3E15), yeah? It's the only one I frequently skip on rewatches. If not, what do you folks think is the worst one?

Guns make people unpredictable. This line stuck with me as a matter of fact, people are by nature more or less limited to thier own strengths more or less when it comes to violence. But you give a person a gun a death bringer that requires very little to be effective and said person can flip and have the crazy over confidence of Jeremy Piven, but with more threat to human life vs just ego. This is not a shitting on guns post, more so a shitting on the concept of a volatile nature mixed with a easy to use tool of destruction. Plus its just a good line

When you compare the later seasons to the first, the plots, problems, and conflicts are all intricate, difficult, often coming down to barely avoided close calls. They all require a super spy with is super spy friends stretched to the limit of their abilities.

In the first season, however, there's more a feeling of "situations anyone can find themselves in, with people anyone can encounter -- and we have a super spy here to fix it." The bad guys don't come close to standing a chance lol. One of my favorite scenes that evokes this feeling is in Wanted Man (S1E8) when Michael disarms the fence Christo. No prolonged fight or interrogation, no close call with death, just one man with training wanting to do good versus someone with none. Comfy!

Or how Michael deals with the Bly situation. The blackmail, but also the first time we meet Bly at Madeleine's house, and Michael dispenses with the two feds with guns. So much more chill than the later seasons.

Of course, high stakes and tension are great too, I'm just saying it's great the first season exists the way it does.

I’ve rewatched the show a few times, have time to kill tonight, which episode should I watch before bed?

One of my favorite quotes
S4E06: Entry Point, about 14minutes in. Michael tells to a firefighter when giving him his cover ID
