Burn Notice & other stuff n' stuff

[Major_A]

After I watched false flag, I had to go back and I got stuck watching the whole thing....went back and started on the pilot, been watching most of the day.

I missed a couple here and there over the season, but I love the A-Team gadget thing they do, even if they don't say or show it all.

I mean hey, even the books I have don't mention spakel for a c4 plastisizer, but even I'm still not dumb enough to try and make the the stuff.

At some point though, some shmuck will try and shut them down for it saying they are teaching gangs how to do a bunch of stuff, or at the least giving them IDEAS or some dumb stuff n crap.
Is this the part where I yell MacGyver rules and so does the freedom of information act act??

The only thing they left out is how they do things is the --DUH YOU'd have to be a moron to try this without an education in science at the least - STAY IN SCHOOL! and you can SAFELY make your own boom booms lol and don't make your homemade stuff pliable using a hammer.

Getting very good kick out of first season though, looking forward to watching all of second.

Just what I gathered though from first season, you think his dad could have been a spy too?

Yeah, I wondered the same thing, but then the wife (Maddy, Michael's mother) is totally clueless about spying and the danger, and I haven't noted any suggestions so far that the Father was absent a lot, just a poor father--not clear yet whether it's alcohol or abuse or just being distant emotionally--as of the end of the second season.

The discussion boards on this might give some insight or inside info, but I'm not really interested until the plot line itself makes it important. I think he's dead (the dad) but even now I can't remember if they said that for sure, or if he's just missing or if he left. It could be they're keeping it open so that there could be a future episode or 2 where the dad and Michael interact and deal with that. There was already a cute episode where Michael and his mom went to a therapist together, and made some headway on their (poor) relationship.

This is a really good show!!! It's like Rockford Files meets Mission Impossible meets Jason Bourne meets Miami Vice meets McGyver. It's slick, pretty, and very very funny. It has lots of guest stars (lately, Patricia Helfer (the blonde "# 6" from BattleStar Galactica, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricia_Helfer). And on the bank heist episode (? " Bad Luck") (with Mark Sheppard from FireFly, BattleStar Galactica, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Sheppard) there was the male actor who played "Cooper" the "Tank" from "Space Above and Beyond."

Michael's "lair" can also be found on line via Google maps and satellite views.

The show has been renewed for a 4th season. The current season (#3) is about half-way through (they're calling these the Season 3 Summer episodes, with Season 3 Winter episodes "just a few months away"), with 2 more new episodes (last night was the first of the 2), and there will be replays of major episodes, and also all of the season 3 episodes back to back to date, over the next few days (don't ask me why the reverse date showings):

the blonde "# 6" from BattleStar Galactica

I knew it!...I just knew I recognized that voice! I'm on 02x14 right now {The Haitians-Truth and recognition}, but when I heard that voice a few episodes ago, I turned my head but didn't recognize the face...couldn't place it other than a scifi...SYFY show...blah blah familiar

Have all episode up to 3x07 so far.

Well what do ya know 02x15 {sins of omission} just started, there she is lol. I know, it's the skimpy outfit, that's what she's missing! Didn't recognize with regular cloths on.

Ex fiance is looking familiar too, just a tad older from wherever it is I'd seen her b4.
Mom is haning out in the loft in this episode now though

Yeah I just past the second therapist episode a few back, and your right they don't really specify on the death thing, just a headstone.

So far though, I'm glad Daniel from stargate has a job, he seems to play a really good psycho spy it seems. I loved it when they gave him an attitude in that show.


I miss Rockford files, but you forgot to add Magnum PI

Can't seem to locate the amber colored one though, unless they are not, and it's a lighting thing.

$33.99
Retail (if authentic): $450

I don't know this Daniel guy, not being a StarRing..... or what's it called? Yeah, Stargate.....fan.

Today I checked out the official Burn Notice website (http://www.usanetwork.com/series/burnnotice/) and saw some of the recent Comic-Con of July 23, 2009, and they had a Burn Notice panel, with Bruce Campbell (and "Michael" via some recorded? video). You can see some of it from YouTube vids (like with Bruce Campbell--he's funny), but check here (http://screenrant.com/burn-notice-comic-con-2009-brusimm-18628/) for a review of the Comic-Con panel for better understanding, and then watch the Bruce Campbell segments.

Someone asked the Burn Notice writer if Michael's "missing" Dad was the one to burn him! The writer said no. And then there was some sort of allusion to a possible second brother of Michael. So the writing is still in flux, and things can change and we might have some episodes of Michael and his father down the road? And Burn Notice was renewed for a 4th season!

for Bruce

and for Mark Sheppard:
He says his father did a lot of SciFi work, including the soul hunter on B5 and some roles in Star Trek!

[Major_A]

Also I ment the red tinted ones not the brown amber or whatever color, the ones below.

trying to find knock offs of these that don't cost $995.00 lol, that's just insane

It even says they are out of stock

You know spies...bunch of bitchy litte girls

[Major_A]

Blair Whitch 2 just came on syfy and I heard the lead guys voice from burn notice turned around and there he was playing a burn out type entrepreneur dude in the movie lol

[RedRock]

thanks, I'll have to look for him.

Word is that season 4 (2010-2011) has been approved for Burn Notice; season 3 is half over, with the second half to air "in the winter" (meaning, probably, starting Jan. 2010). Good good show.

[Major_A]

I ran across another Bruce Campbell movie Redrock.
It's called My name is Bruce.

I'm not sure if it is as good as Bubba Hotep though lolol
that's not saying much I know haha

He plays himself playing an actor that gets kidnapped by an Evil dead
and other Bruce Campbell movies fan to kill an ancient Chinese Demon
that protects some dead people and tofu that accidentally got awakened lol.

It did have it's moments though.

[RedRock]

Yeah, my daughters told me about it, and I want to see it. They said he wrote a book, too, of the same name, or some such thing, but I haven't tried to look it up.

Thanks for the reminder.

And Burn Notice should start up soon in January, probably.
Along with a lot of other shows, including Caprica (I saw the 2 hr. movie last week, it was TERRIFIC!).

But Jack Bauer's 24---I'll wait for the DVD, probably, or skip this (probably final) season. He's become so so PC, it sickens me.

Did you see the Jack Bauer interrogates Santa Claus video?

If it's the one on youtube, yes, just saw it.... he's on the naughty list now haha.

Never was a big 24 fan, But I liked him in Lost Boys and Young Guns. There was one other movie I kinda liked him in. Can't remember name of it off top of my head, but he played a med student and they were seeing how many minutes they could keep the
other person dead then bring them back because they were seeing things.

[RedRock]

New episodes resume Thursday 1/21!!!! USA network.
Look for it!

[Major_A]

lol..just come in here to tell you it's on next haha, missed your last post.

[RedRock]

Yep, I saw it. I had forgotten how much had gone on in the last episode back in the Spring? Summer?
The writing needs to tighten up just a bit with the new episodes, it didn't seem quite as well done as previous eps.
I like Fi.

[Major_A]

You say that and I think back and your right.

It didn't really seem to have that -bam- to it did it.

Not enough explosions I guess lol.

[Major_A]

Friendly Fire was really cool, had cool suit too!...new episode tonight woohoo
