Michael helped her bust a major criminal ring and get Erik Palladino off the streets. I’m sure it got her much fame and glory and being the essential good person that she is (Michael told her several times they’re on the same side) she’s backed off.
Plus, I think Moon Bloodgood has a new role in another TV show, and will presumably be too busy to stalk our Michael for a while.
DMark, do you mean “I hope she is now included,” instead of “I hope she is not included”?
Yes. That is one of those annoying typos that are not actually typos (it was spelled correctly) but typed too fast and the wrong word showed up.
I would like to see her included in the plots…adding the “sweet little old lady” might be fun every once in awhile on one of Micheal’s adventures.
She did spy on one guy a couple episodes ago, but I don’t think Michael would ever let her get put in real danger. That character really sold the show for me. I was worried at first that too much time would be spent hiding his life from her until in a very episode Mike said something like “Depending on what she wants, Mom knows everything or nothing about my job.”
I hate to nitpick here. I love this show. So that’s why I’m going to say
It’s Fi. F-I. Short for Fiona.
“Fee” really looks off to me.
Sorry, I got used to Fee-short-for-Fiona from Colleen McCullough’s The Thorn Birds. I doubt I’ll change, considering Fee is pronounced with the long “e” but Fi is to me, pronounced with the long “i” (Jack and the Beanstalk’s giant, Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum)
Eh, don’t apologize. It was a nitpick. Now that I’ve ranted, I can overlook it. It’s not that big a deal, but like Monk, I can be a little over-obsessive about small things.
No worries. Sigh…January seems so far away. I wish I got into Mad Men…might kill some time.
“I was the only one who thought you were one of us… now I see that I was right.”
Terribly paraphrased, sorry about that. But still a great line…TRM
Was it actually covered that Mike disposed of the H&K? Because I haven’t seen it…
No, it wasn’t. It’s not the sort of thing one would want to keep around, though. I suppose he could plant it on someone, maybe on the boatload of IRA guys.
I’ve occasionally thought that Sam (or possibly Sam’s girlfriends) would turn out to be the Company informant(s).
But I think the brother’s miraculous healing abilities was just sloppy writing. He should have died, to cement Fi’s “I can never go home again” epiphany.
Can we talk about driving the car off the top of the garage? How the hell is Sam going to explain that to Miss Reynolds?
“I was car jacked. They told me if I went to the police, they would harm you.” :rolleyes:

Thanks. That was bugging me.

Cable channels have been mucking with what it means to be a “season”. Now you get a string of six episodes in a row and that’s a “season”. Bugs me to no end.
(Note that my beef is not primarily that they only run 6 episodes, then reruns. No, I’m actually bitching about the terminology. It confuses me. What is Season 1? Where does Season 2 begin, and end? Which Season was the Season with the bomb that nearly killed Mike? Is that the end of Season 2 or mid season 2?)

There was a pilot? Did it ever air? Because I’ve seen snips in the opening credits that I’ve never seen in the show, and the first episode had him talking to his new landlord who was supposedly his first client. But I have never seen it.

And Sam gave him a look to confirm it.

I’ve noticed they’ve gotten more creative with the titles. At first, it was very basic “The Client”, “Mob boss”, etc. Now they use phrases, “The really whacked out guy you don’t want to mess with”.

Bugged me a little, but I think it was meant to show the normally intelligent and practical (if extreme) Fiona was letting her emotions cloud her judgment.
Yeah, even if Sam is a former Navy SEAL and has experience with battlefield wounds, it’s a bit much to deal with that level of damage and blood loss without surgical gear, extra blood, etc. And the Hollywood recovery.
Wasn’t Mike on the phone with him when they bad guys stormed in?
Yes, it did. Too bad for Diego it wasn’t.
The only reason the second season is weird is the writers’ strike. I think.
Yes, it aired, and if you buy the first season (or maybe get it on Netflix) you can watch it. It starts off with him in Africa.
I’ve seen that happen with lots of cable shows. Look at Monk and Psyche. Look at Battlestar Galactica, for Pete’s sake (whoever Pete is). Look at The Sopranos.
It’s not like Networks were particularly better at running season’s uninterrupted. The standard network “season” starts in September (or October) and runs through November, then takes December as a holiday break, comes back in late Jan and Feb, then sweeps in Mar hit. Then they run the final episodes into May.
24 made it part of their advertising the last couple years to run the season uninterrupted starting in Jan and running till May/June. That was a significant thing because most shows don’t run uninterrupted seasons.
But running 6 episodes and then a “season finale” bugs me to death.
I don’t remember a Pete, but I’ll wager he was discovered to be a Cylon.
