What a doozy! I think most people probably thought there was more to Strickler than he was leading on, but I've NEVER seen Micheal react that way. Of course, he had good reason.

I won't mention specifics 'cause I don't wanna spoil it for anyone, but the writers are, once again, leaving us with a whopper of a cliffhanger.

I gotta wait for winter now? Seriously?

I DVRed it - hope to get to see it over the weekend (thanks for the spoiler-free post!).

I've only seen like 3 eps of this show, guided by CIA's recommendation (thank you, CIA - good tip). I need to make some time to catch up on all 3 (it is 3?) seasons, 'cause come to find out it's a fun little show.

A minor bonus is Sharon Gless. She used to be in a little show back in the mid-70s called Switch, with Robert Wagner and Eddie Albert. I had a little crush on her character, Maggie. The crush had pretty much subsided by her Cagney & Lacey years, but is cool to see her having what looks like a fun gig on Burn.

And Bruce Campbell? Don't get me started! Anybody know if Sam has ever delivered any kind of shout-out to Evil Dead, like calling someone a "medieval screwhead" or something like that?

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad Strickler's dead. BWAHAHAHAHA! I was ecstatic when Mike finally shot him XD been waitin for that all season.

awesome finale, though I don't know why they keep showing half the season then taking a break. wtf? they did the same thing with season 2.

And yeah, RIP, I've *never* seen Michael react like that about an enemy. Also never seen him do what he did in above spoiler, though I was hoping he'd finally surprise us by breaking out of his cool like that.

Not really a lot of Evil Dead referencing from Bruce, but still it is Bruce and who doesn't want to watch him.. hell if he were reading mustard bottles I'd watch:0

Was an awesome finale... I just thought it was amusing that Strickler had some vague delusion that he in some way could control Michael. I think he didn't understand why Michael was trying to lift the burn notice. Not because he desperately wanted his job, but to protect his friends and family and to clear his name...duh:)

I completely agree with you, MsA. I'd watch Bruce anytime, and I also agree with what you said in the spoiler.

I yelled, "'Bout time! What did you think, he was going to AGREE to this asinine plan???"

I'm so ready for the next season!

I just love how condifdently he said I'll be the bad guy you're stuck here and there's nothing you can do about it.... seriously you're holding one puny gun on Michael Westin, you didn't check if he's armed, and you have no back-up and you really think you can control this situation...you are officially an idiot

Gee, I'm going to have to respond to spoilers via my own spoiler:

Select to view spoiler:

I was actually yelling at the screen for Michael to shoot Strickler. What a smug jackass!! I saw the gun at Michael's back and was wondering what he was waiting for! I think in that moment you could really see what Fi means to him. I cheered when he did finally shoot the bastard.

I just hope Fi realizes how important she is and honestly I am glad Michael is giving up on this whole getting my job back by any means crap. I'm just worried that based on the teaser for next season he's in for even more of a problem... honestly he really ought to try being less competent at his various skills. that's really the big problem and how he keeps attracting trouble. Did like how Fi's brother handled the news the Michael isn't exactly who he thought... Also Sam really needs to consider driving crappier cars. What with the high destruction rate and all
