Burt Reynolds looks really odd in the promo/clips.

Where's HarryDoyle? He's been raving about wanting to see this episode so badly for the last several months.

I know I sound like a broken record, but I have 3 sitting in the dvr... with no interest whatsoever in watching. I really liked this show at first, and love Bruce Campbell, what's going on with me?

Seriously, sometimes you just get sick of a show. I loved the first few seasons of 30 Rock, CSI and a bunch of other stuff. Then it just started to feel like a chore watching them all of a sudden. I say stop before you start hating the show. Maybe you can come back to it later.

If your recording them just for the sake of recording them without any genuine desire to watch them, I think your probably done mentally watching the show.

Anyways, some interesting news. USA is developing a 2 hour Burn Notice Prequel with Bruce Campbell.

Sweet. Maybe that's why Campbell started dropping some weight this season.

I was the same way but I'm really enjoying the new season. Adding the new character was has given the formula a much needed change.

I liked the Russians' reaction whenever Michael told them who he was. Really upped the badassness of the character.

This episode was hitting on most cylinders. Agree the Russians' reaction to Michael's name lent some badass credibility to his lore.

Is Fi falling in love with Jesse or just out of it with Michael?

I forget; one time only for Reynolds?

"Call me Old Timer one more time and I'll pull your ass over your head and make you wear it like a hat!"

Another decent episode that added a little more to the whole 'Michael/Jesse burn situation.

I agree that the Russians responses when they found out they were dealing with Michael were pretty cool.

to the whole Sam Axe prequel. That should be pretty interesting, and didn't him and Michael at least cross paths numerous times when Sam was in the military?

TallGuy, I found myself in the same situation. Same thing happened to me with House. They'd tease at shifting things around, but in the end House was always House. As much as I love that I need to see characters progress and that's a show that sticks to its molds too much. However, with BN every time I feel like this show is getting stale it shakes things up.

Case in point I thought this episode was really good. Fi really is hitting a breaking point with Michael and what he's doing to Jesse. I wonder if he'll realize he's losing himself again and decide to tell Jesse himself. That would make for a great mid-season finale cliffhanger!

I really like the "Michael Westen?! You lie, that's an urban legend." Talk about badass! I think talking evil Russian sold it.

I know a few more of aired, but I'm eager to see how this back 4 play out. They really have been moving the story a little more this year and in a good way.

I figured Michael's name would be a lot more secretive. Found it odd that a bunch of Russians knew it...

It's always seemed odd to me how freely Michael tells people (even enemies) his real name. Sam uses his alias "Chuck Finley," which always makes me chuckle.

I guess Michael likes to spread his reputation, kinda like James Bond.
