Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

HOW DID IT TAKE SO LONG FOR ME TO RECOGNISE THE AMERICAN HORROR STORY WOMAN IN ROYAL PAINS.

I don't watch Royal Pains, but I found it very distracting to have two Game of Thrones actors on Suits this week.

Oh, right! I forgot about the eunuch somehow. But I definitely noticed the Stark lady.

I realise I hit play on Graceland before Burn Notice. It is more pleasing, despite the unreality.
Are undercover agents really not allowed to do drugs? I can see it would a last resort sort of thing, but you're going in after druggies, it might be drugs or die (according to fictional drug dealers, clearly), not just drugs or lose the case.
Are they not allowed to have sex?

That hacking scene in Burn Notice was execrable. I'm not entirely sure how they *all* happened to combine to do something so awful. Script, acting, premise--perfect storm of appalling.
Swordfish, move over.

It seems Burn Notice wanted to leave no curtains behind on their way out.
"Oh, Michael! Can I trust you, the most perfect of all spies ever, so perfect that your own team cast you aside for outshining them with your pure heart and infallible skills and devoted friends? You're so perfect, you'd never lie to me! NO ONE LIES TO THE PYPER-FERGUSON HAIR OF SKEEZE. Join us, brother..."
Yeah, no flaw with that plan, no overacting required.
I have no idea what the end game is at this point. I feel a little bit more confident now that I know there is one, and I'm sure at some point they'll cover that information in short sentences when I'm not rolling my eyes at something else.
I wish I felt they were doing Mama Westin fair. Here's a woman that doesn't seem to have protected at least one son from pretty egregious physical abuse, and who good-intention-stumbles into fucking their plans up. So, since Michael clearly learnt the core of spycraft from his dad, Mom's got nothing to offer but tea.
I mean, of course she's not a highly trained spy and shouldn't be relied upon in life or death situations with physical peril. But somehow they manage to have her flub up in ways that make her look stupid, not expectedly out of her depth. DON'T TELL ANYONE ABOUT MICHAEL. Come on.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
What annoyed me from the first episode about "Burn Notice" were the lectures about spycraft, which sounded like bullshit to me. I'm sure some of what they said was coincidentally true, because that is always likely with extended bullshit, which is indifferent to truth of falsity. At any rate, the "spycraft" annoyed me so much I never got into the show. I gather that is not the only annoying t hing about the show. And no doubt it has its virtues. Just one of those irrational things where a particular minor annoyance kept me from every weighing overall pros and cons.
