I can just see Sam trying to explain to his lady friend how her car just happened to drive itself off that parking garage! That would be worth watching!

I loved this part...
Michael [Irish accent]: "He needs to find you. He'll want to talk to anyone who can help him with that, which gives me the in I need to get him and his whole team busted by the police."
Sean: "Right. You can't just walk right up to him. As soon as you open your mouth and he hears you're Irish..."
Michael: "I'll approach him as an American with a deal."
Sean: "Really? Sure you can... pull that off?"
[Michael glances at Fiona and Sam (who smirks)]
Michael [Normal accent]: "I've gone undercover as an American before. I'll be fine."
Sean [skeptical]: "Dunno. Your accent's a bit... dodgy."
[A bit flummoxed, Michael glances around again at Fiona (who's now smirking) and Sam...]

Yeah, it was awesome ! Been getting the text from USA on my cell phone, w/ reminders and updates, as well as quizzes on the show.
Sam simply rocks too, btw.

As for the show and how things are progressing, I was glad to see Michael come to his senses re: Fi, but then it had to take her imminent execution for him to wake the hell up. But over all, I'm kinda getting tired of the whole top, top , TOP secret assasin coming after Michael now. I mean, Michael's fairly good at what he does, so he's a cut above a standard, run of the mill spy. He's good at tactics, infiltration, covert ops.... seems he's a very valable asset. So what ever it was that got him burned, could have been to cover someone else's screw up. And I don't see that they'd need to be all that higher up in the spy world. Kinda like in Clancy's Clear and Present Danger, where some low life politician or bureaucrat makes the call that gets valuable assets erased.
I guess my point is, Michael seems fairly high on the food chain, as spies go. Adding more and more layers to this CIA ( or what ever ) ops game starts me thinking of Operatives, Blue hands guys, and the like. I mean, what next ... a super special agent that can walk through walls ?

Oh really ? WHICH ONE???
Burn Notice is officially my very favorite summer show.
As for why they break it up into two "half-seasons", I'm guessing it's because of the way network TV does their seasons. Summer is deadsville, and so is holiday season and mid-winter, so USA figures they'll try to grab a few viewers when nothing else is on, rather than try to go head-to-head with stuff like American Idol and Desperate Housewives and the like.
And it seems to have worked for them, so more power to 'em.

I don't think this actually quantifies as a spoiler, so I won't note it as such . . .
I told my wife several weeks ago that I didn't expect Sam's shiny Buick to last very long. All of his cars have met their untimely demise.
Just one more thought, though. Michael is doing an awful lot of jobs lately for nothing (no pay to speak of). I know he has taken some cash here and there, but it doesn't seem like a lot. After fixing up the car, helping his mom with house stuff, buying multiple cell phones, blackmarket weapons and ammo (supposedly from Fi or that other gun dealer - can't remember his name), ingredients for explosives, etc. . . . .
How on earth does he afford $400 sunglasses (Oliver Peoples Victory) and a $900 watch? Good grief!!
I've been trying to find knock-offs of the Oliver Peoples glasses with no luck so far. Hmph.

ZOW-eee! Man, this show has fast become another ShorDurPerSav (short-duration personal savior) for me, damn near like Firefly when a friend shared that particular Good Word with me. I was doing the Wiki prowl on BN and saw that a couple of tie-in books have been published. Has anybody here read either or both? I'm pretty committed to ordering at least one of them when funds allow, but I wouldn't mind hearing any review/critique anyone cares to offer.

Agreed - the show lost about 160 pounds of ugly, hubristic fat with the death of Strickler. But it was almost physically painful to see that happen to Sam's Buick.
