- AnecdotesDuring the airport operation, all of the characters that are wearing plate carriers ("body armor") are wearing them backwards. You can notice the location of the drag handle is in the front instead of being in the back like it should.
- GaffesEveryone is wearing the body armor backwards. This is evident by the drag handle clearly visible under all of the actors' chins.

Sam Axe: You see the steel doors? That place is pretty well defended.
Fiona Glenanne: Yeah, well, it's worth the risk. It's not just me. Michael's on the edge of something very, very bad. You know it.
Sam Axe: All right, fine. We'll sneak in there, have a little chat. But no explosives, okay? 'Cause if that place is storing RDX, forget it.
Fiona Glenanne: I don't just blow things up. I do have other skills. We're gonna need a truck. A big rig.
Sam Axe: A truck? How am I supposed to find a big rig in Tampa?
Fiona Glenanne: I don't know. Call one of your many friends. Steal it. I can't do everything, Sam.
I must try not to repeat myself too much here but it is difficult because whenever I commented on the last few seasons of this show I noticed that was always saying roughly the same thing each time. This is partly because I am an amateur writer with a limited ability to express myself but also the fact that the show has set out its stall and has continued to deliver on its successful formula in pretty much every episode and every season – and the fifth is no exception. It isn't perfect by any means but with a good budget, steady audience share and a simple agenda this season produces solid weekly entertainment that is high in gloss and as easy to watch as it is easy to enjoy. The overall plot this season was pretty good because I thought the nature of it lended itself to be used in the way it is – as a small part of each episode, ticking over, progressing the bigger picture and keeping the viewer interested in it while also entertaining with the case per week story lines.
The bigger picture has urgency to it and I thought it progressed well – and I appreciated that the main villain was left "in play" for the next season. The weekly story lines were also better. If you ignore the way that every single week is life-threatening and involves big "newsworthy" action, they do play well and they avoid some of the sentimental devices hat previous seasons used to generate weekly cases for Michael. This time round we have a lot of work from Jessie which gives plenty of "higher stakes" work which generally allows for plenty of action and plenty of danger. It is "easy" television for sure but as light entertainment goes you do have to admit that it is very easy to consume and enjoy. It spends its budget freely, it looks glossy and it carries itself with such confidence that it seems to be able to pull off whatever it tries. I continue to love the knowing humour and sense of fun within the show – jokes about Sam's chin are always appreciated by this Bruce Campbell fan.
Burn Notice is what it is – glossy light entertainment, and it should be watched as such. I love my "grown-up" shows from channels like HBO, but sometimes you do just want to relax and Burn Notice is perfect for that. The action and drama part of it works on that level but the overall show is slick, fun and just plain entertaining. It is ultimately disposable and forgettable perhaps, but it works for what it is and I find it easily enjoyable.
