Guys.

Did you know Gabrielle Anwar has a nude scene in Body Snatchers (1993).

Because I didn't.

Thanks for the heads up.

Mental note: never watch that film.

Hey, it was 1993.

She hadn't started to melt yet.

[Pancakes]

I'm surprised they're still keeping this main arc going. It's so convoluted it's pretty ridiculous. I mean, it's still fun to watch, but can ANYONE explain exactly why Michael was burned? Who by? How many people he's gone through? I can't, haha.

Nope.

Not sure I could even if I rewatched the entire series over again. At this point, I think the president is in on it.

Do not want

[Foliorum Viridum]

Watching the main arc stuff would be the hardest thing about re-watching Burn Notice, I think.

I doubt it's that enjoyable a second time around. It's all about the stories of the week for me.

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Most likely, probably even David Palmer.

My eyes rolled big time with the finale's twist, but whatever -- I needs me Mike, Sam and Fi.

And don't protest early '90s Anwar -- she was hot.

[fallengorn]

Well, first he gets burned. Finds out a shadow organization did it. Initially, refuses to work for them but then sort of does. Then he partially gets back with the CIA and destroys them. Now he's under the heel of the last survivor.

I went to the wiki to double check.

Damn straight.

I didn't think it was that complicated, but I guess it depends how much time has passed. "Anson" was the only one that Max, Michael, and the CIA didn't catch and from what I gathered from the last ep he was basically the founder of the organization that burned Michael. In the beginning, it was just him and "Management" (Frasier's dad).

from what larry said, it possibly has something to do what happened in Chechnya between the two of them. theres a good chance mike has a stack of shit that could fuck him that was being kept underwraps, that someone leaked.

[benjipwns]

Management had Michael burned so that they could recruit him to their private little intelligence operation. Carla established that way back when, Vaughn and others have confirmed it. They apparently framed him using Simon's actions.

Since then he's been used by them to destroy others which led to him deciding to take them down, which he did and which got him back into good graces with the CIA. This season he teamed back up with the CIA to finish off the rest of Management and Anson is suggesting that he has been orchestrating events since to break Michael's slowly restoring ties to the CIA, pay him back for killing his creation, and use him for his own purposes.

Which makes Anson the final boss of the entire arc thus far. Until, you know, a somehow still alive or free Management decides to pay Michael back for killing his partner. Or some other shadowy higher power who was behind things the entire time!

[hemtae]

Have they actually caught Management? Because I don't remember the old guy being taken in.

[benjipwns]

The take down of Management was referred to as happening off camera in between the seasons, with the operation in the premiere episode cleaning up the last known operative. And I believe Anson said he's the only member left standing.

[AMUSIX]

Management was only one man, Frasier's dad. Michael was disassembling the entire organization bit by bit with the CIA, until they came to the 'final guy'...this was the one Michael and Max took down in the season premier. However, Michael said that the take down didn't feel right, it wasn't fulfilling, and something seemed to still be left. Max, Fi, Sam, and everyone else said otherwise and urged him to put the whole thing away. Turns out that the guy they took down in the season premier was a nobody, someone the boss sent in to take the fall.

If everything is to be believed, Anson is the final bit of the organization (of course, we have to assume he has put together a new team or two under him).


Not sure how people can see the main arc as confusing, as it's been pretty straight-forward. There have been a number of misdirects, but in the end, each season has provided one or two simple pieces of the puzzle. The writers are probably making it up as they go, but they're keeping the whole thing pretty cohesive, which is a hell of a lot better than most 5 season story-arcs.



We still have 6 episodes this season. I'm thinking this will be mostly Michael running around doing Anson's bidding and trying to figure out a way to get Fi out of danger.

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Damn straight.

The fuck!? That's her?

What happened!?

[Wads]

The fuck!? That's her? What happened!?

I think she looks decent considering she's 41. I think her biggest problem is that she's a twig... desperately needs to add about 20 pounds.

[dead souls]

Agreed. Most people would love to look as good as Gabrielle Anwar in their 40s.

[ajf009]

so i just watched the last episode and my head kind of exploded.. man it just keeps getting more twisted as it goes..

[questionmark]

Guys. Did you know Gabrielle Anwar has a nude scene in Body Snatchers (1993). Because I didn't.

I did.

<3 MrSkin.

[AlphaSnake]

Ran through the entire series in about 2 weeks time. I fucking love it. Can't wait for the return on Nov 3rd.

And LOL @ people calling management "Frasier's Dad". Hahaha, I don't know why, but it's just hilarious.

[TheSeks]

And LOL @ people calling management "Frasier's Dad". Hahaha, I don't know why, but it's just hilarious.

Because it is his dad, at least the actor anyway?

Also Fi haters can step off. Whole bunch of you wish you'd look good in your 40's as she does. Haters.

[notworksafe]

Also Fi haters can step off. Whole bunch of you wish you'd look good in your 40's as she does. Haters.

She looks like a leather shoe.

[Foliorum Viridum]

It returns in November? Soooo close!

Great news.

Hahaha, I know. I just find it funny.

[Volcynika]

A "Sneak peek" of the premiere in Nov. (at work, can't see)

[lazybones18]

Finally caught up. Kinda had the whole Anson thing spoiled for me via promo while watching Psych lol

Anyway...I'm hoping Larry is dead. Seriously, the thing with him has run its course. As for this Anson business, it will be interesting to see how it plays out. Personally, I think the show has one good season left in the tank and should end after season 6

[Volcynika]

Ok, GAF, new episode tomorrow! Woo!

Damned If You Do

Michael and Fiona head to Puerto Rico to abduct a financial hacker whose software they need for Anson, but the hacker has some dangerous enemies waiting for him in Miami. Meanwhile, Sam and Jesse train Madeline to retrieve sensitive information from the police.

Also, as per usual, marathon tomorrow!

"Watch the marathon beginning at 6AM ET and get ready for the premiere!"

Excited.

[The Big Rig]

Very happy to see this tomorrow.

[Volcynika]

Ten minutes from starting, woo!

[AlphaSnake]

Annnnnnd we're back!

[Deadly Cyclone]

BACK!

[Deadly Cyclone]

Sam would be a perfect Sully in an Uncharted movie.

[Tamanon]

Welcome back Mr. Westin. Good times.

[DMczaf]

Alex Mack and the bad guy from Fast/Furious 1!

[Ventilaator]

Just got into this show (halfway through season 1) and I like it a lot. Made me real happy to see that there's 5 seasons of this to watch.

Question! How consistent is this show after so many seasons? Any noticeable drops in quality?

Sam would be a perfect Sully in an Uncharted movie.

You can't get a more perfect Sully than JK Simmons

Nope. The show is pretty formulaic, but the quality is consistent.

Alex Mack and the bad guy from Fast/Furious 1!

Holy shit! That was her?!?!? I recognized her in Mad Men, but not here. I used to have the biggest crush on her. She is only a few months older than me too.

[Henchmen21]

They only person I recognize is the guy playing the baddy (the overall arch one, not the drug pusher)

He used to be on "Dear John" with Judd Hirsch back in the late 80's

[Wads]

I didn't know this, but Michael's mom was Cagney from Cagney and Lacey. I remember my Mom and Dad watching that show.

[Henchmen21]

Yup. It's why they were advertizing having Tynne Daily (however you spell her name) on last season.

[AlphaSnake]

Bump.

I wish Michael just kills Anson already. I hate him so much. His face pisses me off.

[AlphaSnake]

Bump for tonight

[TheSeks]

Bump for tonight

Holy poo poo at that ending.

[Escape Goat]

i havent watched tonights episode but i'm finding myself getting bored with the incredibly stale formula this show has developed.

1) 5 minutes (tops) dealing with season arc

2) Introduce generic quest giver

3) Michael gives a voice over regarding related spy techniques

4) Call Michael's mom

5) Plan doesn't go as they thought, maybe a chase scene with Fiona's crappy blue car

6) Michael saves the day

Did I miss any steps? We need some serious House-like shakeups here.

I knoooow. Man, that was insane.

Burn Notice (seasons 1-4) is now up on Netflix instant streaming.

[Seraphis Cain]

Burn Notice (seasons 1-4) is now up on Netflix instant streaming.

HOLY FUCK

EDIT: Okay, just watched the pilot. Holy shit, so weird. Fi's Irish accent, Maddie's hair, Michael's voiceovers with a kind of "personality" that they lack now. This is going to take some getting used to. :lol

[Ventilaator]

Just got into this show (halfway through season 1) and I like it a lot. Made me real happy to see that there's 5 seasons of this to watch.

This went quick, I'm fully caught up now. This show is great and the fact that this thread is so dead is just sad. Considering how the finales of each season have all been completely incredible, I'm already afraid to see the few last episodes of the season because after that I have no more of this to watch for a while.

And that's even more sad.

[The Big Rig]

No one on GAF likes Burn Notice, except for us few.
