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

SPARKLY PINK HEARTS

SRSLY!

Is anyone else still watching Burn Notice? The last ep, which I watched this afternoon, really bothered me, because I can't believe that gangster son wouldn't kill his wife at some point, even if he didn't just then, and that Michael would know that. I know we were supposed to think that he wouldn't, but to me, the character as written sure as hell would have.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That bothered me, too, Lee. I was just ignoring it, but now it occurs to me that they could maybe fix that later by having her turn up as a client.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Perception: I'm putting kittens on his blonde therapist lady friend being another of his delusions. Does anyone else think that?

Also, he's too damn rational to be an unmedicated delusional schizophrenic.

I thought it was established in the first ep--his assistant has said he his alone when he is talking to her

Always Anti-fascist!

I think sometimes he's with her, sometimes not. Yeah, it seems more like he had some other kind of breakdown and some other kinds of 'sodes...it's a real testament to the cast's ability that I am still watching that one. For serious, no snark, At the risk of sounding like one of the little_details people that want a deadly disease that fits their timeframe and isn't, like, too ugly, or anything(They don't really say that, but they mean it enough that, on some level, I don't quite understand, it makes me all "GIMP POWER HULK SMASH!") but anyway. I do know that you can get manic enough to hallucinate...it happened to one of the profs at my college...his colleague, who found him naked and ranting, probably shouldn't have told a bunch of freshman that to teach us bipolar is "srs bsns"but he was kind of a jackhole.

Oh, well, see, that's what I get for not actually *watching* the show.

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

I don't think we've seen anyone else talk to Sandy Cohen, and I can think of three occasions where she's not been real--his TA sat on her in the quad, he stayed home from the ball game to watch with her, and the LEO watched him walk and talk to nothing when we'd seen him conversating with her. I'm waiting for the first other acknowledgement. I might have missed it, though,

I am watching Burn Notice, but I am completely failing to connect, at all. The closer he got to who burnt him, the more obsessed he got...the less interested I was. I liked him "randomly" finding people in trouble and him and Fi and Sam and Sugarlips getting them out f trouble with a little violence and some sexy moves. But by now, the prologue is way tired...

I have not been enjoying Burn Notice nearly as much as I used to. Even the Macgyverish spy tricks are not as cool. Honestly, they could repeat some of the early ones, I would be okay with that. Sam and Jesse can still be fun, though. For some reason, I have hope that once Fiona is out of jail some corner can be turned it will get better. That isn't based on anything, of course.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I don't have face blindness, but I meet and talk to a really really lot of people, who then turn up randomly at other places. Like tonight there were two guys at the show in Indianapolis (who we know from before) who were also at the previous show in Cincinnati. And I knew they were coming, and I still had a hard time placing them out of context at the next gig.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Lee, I was bothered by that too. I am hoping it comes up again later as Michael crossing the line when it comes to Fiona.
