Also when Gabriel, Pope, and the security gaurd were watching Brenda and Pope clarified to the guard what the don't have.

Oh, yes, totally. That "no, we don't have that." "No, that doesn't exist." Brilliance.

The main reason I can think of that they didn't written up and Gabriel did is that with the dead body Brenda was able to keep it in her squad and didn't have to go to outside help. But with Gabriel she had to look to Taylor for help and once he knew she couldn't (or felt she couldn't) keep it hidden.

Well, and the context of both misdemeanors. With Flynn and Provenza, it was kind of a victimless thing--they *were* going to report it, just after the funeral took place--and was so comedic that having them brought up on charges would have been ridiculous, given the situation, and the fact that the widow had no interest in pursuing anything related to her husband's murder.

With Gabriel, he was incited to violence by a crazy racist serial killer, but it was *on tape* *in the police station* and had an obvious, if unsympathetic, victim. I'm not sure the two scenarios can really be compared, because while F & P were in the doghouse for the duration of the case, they didn't actually hurt anybody. Gabriel did, and I think that's what Brenda reacted to the most. The fact that her partner, her friend, hurt someone under the aegis of his badge. To her, that's such a desecration of their duty.

And I think that there is the fact that she trusted Gabriel implicitly and I'm not sure that's how she felt about Flynn and Provenza.

Definitely. She knew that Flynn and Provenza are kind of old-school cops, playing by different rules than she was--rules she held Gabriel too as well.

Yeah, she (and no one else) was really surprised when she found out. She was shocked and appalled by Gabriel.

Burn Notice: I love when the fed gives him the burn notice file and says, without a trace of rancor, "have fun with it." I hope we see more of him.

I actually disliked the Fed guy a lot. He seemed to be having too much fun with screwing with Michael. I mean, he was a huge asshole with the security guard thing.

I hated him too, but that last line that won me back. It was like despite the way he jerked Michael around, he truly respected Michael for besting him. Once he was out of the game, he was all - give 'em hell, Mikey.

Huh. I didn't read it that way at all -- I saw it as more bitter, like, okay asshole, you fucked with me, but this is going to fuck you over more, and I'm quite happy about that.

Rescue Me: I am very afraid of heights, so as soon as Tommy sat on the ledge, I started tensing up. When he put the bottle down and jumped? I totally believed it.

And then to be hanging there -- yikes!

Also: Wyatt or Elvis? Are they kidding. Although, Wyatt is certainly better than Elvis.
