    It's a great show and funner for me since I live in the area and I've been to half the places that have either exploded or have had someone die in. I just can't stand the "hot" chick of the show. She's bony and old; of all the people to cast she was a poor choice. Also someone buy her a fucking sandwich and make sure she doesn't puke it out 10 minutes later.

    I still haven't watched season 2 yet. D:

    But I agree with Vash. I'd want my own Fiona. Just not the cunt of a mother. She's annoying. D:

    My own Fiona would be fuckin awesome as hell.

    The way he assumes different identities at will is easily the best part of the show. He's just talking to Sam, his brother, or Fiona and the phone rings and he is a completely different person by the time he says hello.
    The stumbling bumbling former meth identity was great.

    Yeah the Fiona character is great just the actress that pisses me off. The way he switches characters is great, my favorite was the rich oil tycoon who inherited all his money. I love the explanation narration. I also like how the splice different places of Miami to make it look like its all awesome, though I've never seen that warehouse area he lives in.

    His oil tycoon accent pissed me off. I couldn't stand listening to it. Pretty good show, though. Hopefully, we'll start to get some real answers this season.

    That the one where the guy owed the loanshark all that money and they made $2000 look like $250000?

    ^ Yeah.

    I like the actress for Fiona and would, of course, like my own. Maybe it's the accent.

    I personally like Fiona, and despite what you all say, she could get it. I will admit that the character is better than the actress though.

    But fuuuuuuck. Now I've gotta get caught up before I can watch the new one(s)!

    Highly enjoyable show. I'm a fan.

    And I could've sworn there was already a thread for this, but there isn't. Well, not exactly.

    For those feeling deja vu, here's the thread in Dresden discussion about it:
    A TV series with the same attitude
    Here's a challenge that dealt with it: Burn Notice
    And here's the start of a fic inspired by the challenge: Burn Notice

    And rather than just repeat myself a ton, a member of my yahoogroup suggested I write a HP/Burn Notice cross:
    The discussion went nowhere, but I'm still curious to see any other suggestions. And more of Krogan's fic too.

    Carla gets on my damn nerves and so does the actress playing her.

    It kind of fits, when you think about it. Harry's always forced into jobs and situations he really doesn't want to do.

    I hate Fiona but I enjoy the show.

    My only gripe is that the whole series is like a cliche rehash of all the spy movies ever made.

    It doesn't take away all my enjoyment but I don't think it's a very novel or well written show.

    Wow, terrific season finale. The show is quite similar to Dexter, which in my eyes is a big complement. The new season can't come soon enough :D

    I'd like to point that ministry was unable to freeze accounts of known and convicted Death Eaters. Same thing goes for blocking apparition and portkeying. Uh, and putting a spell on someone from distance (the trace)? It would kill any logic left in HPverse.

    As for the show, it's one of my favorites. I just hope I won't have to wait a year for next season.

    Your canon-thumping merit badge is in the mail.
    Yes, excellent season finale. The show could go in new directions now, or it could fall right back into the pattern it's held so far. But I can tell you that they've announced the new season, season three of Burn Notice starts in June. So only three or so months until its back.

    I didnt know there was a thread for Burn Notice but since there is Ive got to say I loved the season finale? The last scene was one of the most epic Ive seen in the show, as well as Micheal and Fionas little trick during the car chase.

    As for my fic long story short shit came up, I do have about half of a new chapter written but my beta has mysteriously vanished on me, if anyone cares to give me a hand with that I could probably have it out within two weeks.
