Burn Notice (TV Series) Loose Ends, Part 1 (2007) User Reviews

Worth while episode - with FF button

[noe112001 · 20 September 2007]

This is a pretty entertaining episode, but don't even try to watch it live. In the second hour USA shifts to 5 minute teaspoons of show, interrupted by equal spans of commercial break. Best to record this one and watch it later with remote in hand.

I like this episode because it breaks from formula a little bit. The pithy narratives continue, the family story is expanded a bit, and we still don't know why Michael was burned. But our heroes meet up with some interesting new challenges, and we get to see them function under some of the conditions that earned them their pedigrees in the first place.

I hope that the writers can keep it coming.

Pity about the nonsense

So I enjoyed all the tradecraft stuff until this episode where nonsense sets in. 'Simply bug another sim and swap them out and he'll be talking to your bug all day'

Actually he won't! Incoming calls will no longer be received and outgoing calls will show a different number to the contact, causing questions to be raised immediately.

I suppose trying out all the tradecraft could be tricky without getting arrested.

I was particularly intrigued with an earlier episode where a compound fuses locks, although in practice they blew the lock instead, which was confusing.

I know it's fiction but these kind of mistakes are distracting.
