Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

No one has mentioned the part about Elliot HAVING ALL THE FEELS?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Isn't there a point where "just your job" is cruel and harmful and you can be held responsible for said job? If there had been some sort of duress, sure. But she seemed aware of the bad things she was doing, and all in.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Y'know how that weaselly manager kept telling Elliot to tuck in his shirt? FAQ wife thought the show missed a great opportunity by not having Elliot take off his shirt when he was fired. She is a true Honorary Buffista, that woman.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I was really disappointed in this week's Leverage. The "bad guy" this week wasn't a bad guy. She was just a person trying to do her job. She didn't even treat people particularly badly. The looks that we get at the end when the mark realizes they've been had are really fun. This time, it just felt smug.

I had the same feeling at the end, Vortex.

But at the same time, I see this point.

No mention of the fact that it was Virginia Bryce?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I didn't realize that Burn Notice had started again, so now I am catching up. I am two eps in, and I kind of like the set up for the season--burning everything down to start from scratch, literally

Lee, I've been liking it too. BN really did need a bit of a reboot; the formula was starting to get boring.

Oh, that's good to know. I have a bunch of them sitting on the Tivo that I haven't watched because I've been bored with the formula.

Trust my rage

Can I ask about the new setup? I quit watching maybe a year ago out of boredom.

Stephanie, a lot of it won't make sense unless you have seen last season, but to sum up,

In order to convince a high up CIA guy who was responsible for Nate's death and tried to kill the gang repeatedly that the gang was dead, they had to let the agent who actually shot Nate (on the other guy's orders) burn down the apartment andthen Michael shot the higher up, mostly in cold blood, but somewhat in self defense, which Sam and Jesse have issues with, but now the whole gang is being hunted as traitors by a really badass CIA agent, who so far I like a lot. I need to figure out who the actress is. I know I have seen her in a few things.

She's Kima (Sonja Sohn) from The Wire! They better watch out. She's no joke.

The Burn Notice opening sequence was annoying before, but now it's annoying and pointless. For a number of seasons it helped set up where we'd gotten to as of the first episode in the season, but what now? Makes little to no sense.

I watch because I reflexively watch the TNT/USA/etc original series. It's like a thing, and hard to kick once I get going. But I only really like Madeline and Jesse..the rest leave me cold. And I stopped being totally up to date with the twists and turns, because they always looped back around, and caught up with me in the end.
