Burn Notice 4x15 to 5x02
Jul. 3rd, 2011 06:19 pmWELL. THAT WAS CERTAINLY BALLSY. AND FANTASTIC.
Right, so, as my flail!post yesterday indicated, I thought these were pretty freaking fabulous. In the end, I found the addition of Jesse a good start on shaking up a formula that was becoming a touch repetitive, and had been played about as much as it could be by the end of S3. I loved how the last four episodes of S4 centered less around Michael getting back in--though that was the ultimate objective--but on a pretty intense game of snatch, grab, and keepaway with the list of names. And the end of the season...HOLY CRAP. HE GOT BACK IN.
...Provisionally, anyway, and I think that is perfect. Switching the focus from "Argh, Management's goons thwart me at every turn when I just want back in the CIA's good graces!" to "Well, now I'm kind of back in business, but gee, it's not as fun as I remember. Maybe I should think about this" is exactly the kind of shot in the arm the show needed. Yes, they're still doing fun missions to help the little guy, and the core reasons haven't changed, but how they fit into the larger plot of the show has. Before, Michael was passing time, earning money, and feeding his savior complex by these jobs; now they're going to serve as a tool for self-examination, and as a contrast to the kinds of work he's doing for the CIA. At the same time, I think we might get hints of why Mike & co. feel the need to save the world, and they might look at how that parallels Management's organizational beginnings. As Michael said to the guy in Ottawa, he can understand the desire to clean up the world outside the law, because he's kind of doing that. But problems often come with an increase in scale.
4x15
The car thieving cover IDs return! Yay! Only they weren't as funny this time around. Alas. Still, an entertaining episode with many high points:
- I liked splitting up into two teams (plus Nate) and then coming together in the Dominican Republic to work beautifully as a four-person team. It made the ending even more satisfying. Plus they got the list of names!
- "Can I have an invite to the party in your head?" Heh. Oh, Sam. I liked seeing Jesse be useful like this; it was believable that as counter-intelligence, rather than someone in field work, he'd be all over putting together data on a bunch of maps and tracking the circling motorcycles hauling the list around.
- And of course making buddies is what Sam does best. Awww.
- Hee at Maddie seizing the opportunity to take a picture when Michael and Nate are both dressed up as part of their gangster covers.
- Hmmm. They've been poking at the idea of procreation for two straight episodes now, with Nate's upcoming kid and his hint about wanting that kid to have a cousin. I really hope the gang gets to babysit someday.
- I guess Mama Westen's come to Jesus talk really worked for Michael and Jesse. I pretty much spent the rest of S4 wondering how it would blow up in their faces, but apparently we were meant to take it at face value.
4x16
Fun cover ID for the job of the week, excellent segue into the finale, A+ episode.
- Loved the napalmed Ring ofFire Trust. "This is just so we can have a private conversation." Bwahaha!
- Seriously, Michael, you don't get that Fi would rather have you choose to stay in Miami after being offered a chance to get back into the spy business than to have you there against your will? Really? Really? I know relationships aren't your thing, but no one is that dumb.
- "Justice and revenge: like chocolate and peanut butter." *snerk*
- What an excellent use of Brennen coming back as their big bad villain!
4x17
- "I was just trying to kill you with my mind." Hee! Sam's a Firefly fan!
- First Brennen, and now LARRY! It's like Old Home week, but awesomer!
- ...There are only 46 names on that copy-protected list? And the Fabulous Four couldn't just take a picture of the computer screen with the file up, like with a digital camera? Come onnnn, there are ways around copy protection.
- ZOMG, Larry killed Brennen! Well, that little creep deserved it.
- I think Larry's thing about how Michael bottles up all his rage and darkness, and how letting it out is the way back into the spy trade, is going to be hugely important in S5. I think he might be right, and Michael will wind up deciding it's not for him, because Larry was dead wrong in thinking that rage and darkness make Michael who he is.
- I love how calling Fi "honey" is actually a distress signal they came up with in Belfast. Of course it is. These two are not really into terms of endearment.
- "We used to talk about our lives, but now the only time we talk about our future is when someone's coming to end it." And Michael totally took this to heart in 5x02. I really like how these four episodes feel so connected.
- "Blah blah blah the apocalypse is coming, we're all dead, etc. etc." / "So what else is new?" Heh.
4x18
Loved this episode. It was put together perfectly--lots of tension, character stuff, and people being badass. Probably my favorite of S4, though "Where There's Smoke" is up there too.
- *gasp* THEY BLEW UP THE CHARGER! NOOOOO!
- "I have an allergy to rebar." Yeah, I think most of us do when it's shoved into our legs in a car crash. Aw, Jesse.
- Jesse's attempt at giving relationship advice to Fi was the one off note in the episode. No, Michael probably doesn't want to settle down in a house with an ocean view or whatever he was blathering on about, but neither does Fi.
- Watching Maddie and Sam work over the Congressman, and Cowley dick around before finally agreeing to help, was thoroughly nerve-wracking. I figured he would go for it in the end, but I wasn't sure, and that would've been really bad news if he didn't.
- *more gasping* Vaughn's goons captured Maddie? And they HIT her? Oh, someone's going to feel pain.
- And then Maddie pulled out all the stops with her "They shot me! Save yourselves!" bluff. Yay!
- Aw, Michael finally says he's sorry to Jesse. Right before he goes off on a suicide mission.
- "Maybe it's time you went your own way." I was eeeeever so slightly spoiled for S5 in that I knew Michael and Fi were still together, so this probably didn't have the effect on me it could've. But it was still painful to watch.
- Luckily, they followed it up almost immediately with Fi's "I belong out there with him, for better or worse." Annnnd, they're married now. See, there was even the echo of a marriage ceremony. Granted, Michael wasn't there, but whatever. Totally married.
- "It's probably going to be for worse." / "I knew that the moment I met him." Awww.
- "I'm tired of you making all the decisions in this relationship." Er...I'm not sure you can say that he's done that, though. I guess he holds the trump card because of his always-impending return to a world-traveling spy life, but Fi's made plenty of decisions. It's one of the reasons I really enjoy both her character and this relationship.
- Aside from that, though, THAT SCEEEEEEENE. So much love. Handporn! Fi being cocky about her better explosives knowledge! Laughing/crying in the face of certain death! Blowing people up! And then Sam rides in with the cavalry because he finally resolved the plot with Cowley, and there is face-nuzzleporn! Yeah, I will be watching that scene over and over again.
- (I can't remember the exact circumstances, but something about that scene reminds me very much of John and Aeryn in Farscape. Perhaps they had a similar suicidal mission against Scorpius that turned out well? I definitely remember face-nuzzling after some danger had passed.)
- "I already have a team." ♥ ♥ ♥
- "Your girlfriend is crazy...about you." Hee! Loved that little pause there. And aw, Jesse.
- At least Mike and Fi got to say (well, kiss) goodbye again before he went off with the guys who were Very Very Obviously from the government. The moment he got into that car--and really, Mikey, you gotta work on that getting into cars with strangers thing--I started to wonder if this was it, if he was getting back in, and WHAT DO YOU KNOW, he does! THAT WAS SO COOL.
- Also loved that it was snowy in DC and he literally came in from the cold!
- I get the impression Dylan Baker is famous for something else, but he will always be Maggie's brother Jeffie in the Michigan episode of Northern Exposure for me.
5x01
- I really like how they managed to use so many visual aspects to differentiate Michael's Miami life with his CIA mission to Canada. I think the longer hair has something to do with JD playing another role during the off-season, but having it longer and more slicked-back, along with having him wear a tie and even having the lighting be harsh blue fluorescent rather than the soft yellow incandescent they usually use all worked together to really make him seem like he was in a completely different world.
- Plus this is the first time he's gotten a caption, if I remember correctly.
- Like I said earlier, I really like that the burn notice hasn't officially been lifted yet, and Michael is an asset rather than an agent. It's believable that it would take a while to clear up the mess Management's organization made of his life, and it helpfully allows him to spend most of his time in Miami.
- "I missed you." / "I got that. I think you broke a rib." See, Michael, life with Fi is even more exciting than life as a spy. The way she knocked him to the floor and then gleefully swan dived on to him was hilarious.
- Awww, he has to keep secrets from her now. :( Yeah, that isn't going to last long.
- Another thing I hope doesn't last long is Fi's new dark hair. I much preferred it brown with blondish highlights. (Tangent: I keep seeing her described as a redhead in fanfic. Seriously? Maybe I just have a much redder standard of redness than the general population, because I kept seeing Captain Janeway described as such when I was into Voyager, and I never saw her as anything but a very dark blonde. By these standards, I have flaming carrot hair.)
- Uh...hadn't it only been a year at the midpoint of S4? Now suddenly it's four, even though there was only a six-month jump between S4 and S5? The hell?
- Yeeeeah, Jesse quitting his counter-intel job because he just can't do the government thing anymore isn't foreshadowing at all. ;) His new job as corporate/private security certainly will come in handy to the team.
- Yay for bringing Sam and Fi on the mission! Even if Raines did make the mistake of benching them. They showed him. (I love it when the Terrific Three are the underdogs who shove someone's face in his or her assumptions about them.)
- "I forgot how much of a pain in the ass you are." / "Yeah, but I'm worth it."
- Oooof. Routing a flight to Venezuela through Turkey is just cruel and unusual.
- Oh, you knew something was going to go wrong when Sam wasn't allowed to use Chuck Findley as his alias!
- Much as I enjoy the running gag of Mike knowing all these languages and being stumped by Spanish after growing up in Miami, Sam, Fi, and Jesse really need to get him some Teach Yourself Spanish software for his birthday.
- Oooh, it's never a good situation to be in when you essentially want your old and new friends to hang out together and like each other. Poor Mikey.
- Bwahaha! Yeah, I figured things would go wrong, the CIA folks would want to abort, and Michael & co. would pull out a crazy plan, and this did not disappoint in the slightest.
- "Plan? No. I have a tactical goal and a rough approach. Welcome to my world." HEE.
- "How are you still alive?" / "Good question. I eat a lot of yogurt." Even the one-liners seemed fresher than they did earlier!
- "...Or you could just shoot them." Michael Westen knows how to get shit done.
- Awwwwww, no answers from Kessler. I'm sure he'll figure out how to get answers from someone else, though...
- The oscillating fan firing the gun trick is one of the more entertaining ones they've used on the show, simple as it is.
- Oh, that poor, poor car. Perhaps that will be another season-long project.
5x02
Oh, MAN. This was SO GOOD. In S1, I never thought I'd love an episode that was so Maddie-heavy, but this was amazing.
- I'm trying to figure out the system behind the new font for some of the captions. First I thought it was used to denote CIA-mission-related things, but they used the old school font for some of that in 5x01, so that was a bust. Maybe it's just for locations.
- Awwww, Michael and Fi get to go on vacation to Costa Rica. And then nearly kill themselves having dirt bike races in the jungle. They are so cuuuuute.
- If Fi is only just now getting around to finding a new place, where has she been living for the past six months? I was also thinking her snowglobes were blown up in the explosion last season, but maybe she hadn't fully moved yet and they were still at her old place.
- Mike doesn't know Frogger, really?
- Loved, loved, loved everything about Maddie helping with the job, Michael's cover basically being a retread of his father, and him having to treat her like that in order to sell the cover and both of them dealing with it. I don't think he realized where he was getting the crazy/violent attitude necessary for so many of his covers from. He's been so focused on not being like his father, and on putting his childhood into a box that he doesn't touch, that he never even noticed how it was coming out in his covers. That's really interesting.
- I first thought that surely Fi knew about the abuse, but then again, maybe it's just the audience who's heard about it, and not her.
- Aaaand now Fi gets to help with the CIA job. Totally illegal, but totally fun. Fi certainly has an interesting idea of "babysitting," though it definitely worked. She should go into marriage counseling. For those without risk of heart attack, anyway.
- And Gabrielle Anwar even got to use her real accent!
- Sugar comes back, and I don't find him annoying. Mainly because he got the door shut in his face. And really, only Sam gets to call Michael "Mikey."
- Much as I love Maddie in this episode, I find it hard to believe that she knows how to do that kind of evasive driving. (Perhaps we will someday learn that she used to be a secret agent?)
- Awww, Maddie takes the money! Hee. And then wants Michael to fix the Charger with some of it. Yeah, that's going to be a season-long project.
- I hope that last conversation between Madeline and Michael means we're going to get another episode dealing with all this, because that would be great.
- AND THEN THE ENDING. WHERE I DIED A LITTLE FROM HAPPINESS. Awwwwwww, he's building a shelf for her snowglobes because he wants her to move in with him! Eeeeee! (Although doesn't the loft not have air conditioning? And isn't it prone to break-ins from any character who feels it necessary? Maybe they should find some place more secure...)
