Can you call it a finale when it’s coming back in June?

In any event, Michael finds out who burned him.

I bet they were exaggerating in the previews. 🙂

Okay, now out with the DVDs! I’ve been avoiding it for the most part because I haven’t seen much of S2.

Latecomer to Burn Notice, but I like this show.

On a side note: does anyone know the name of the song that was playing for the Silk Spectre Clip?

Nope, apparently not in the least. Granted, it’s not so much a man, or even a woman, as a…

Entire shadowy organization with The Organization.

At any rate, Fi killed Carla. Outstanding!

I really liked this episode. The series seems to be taking chances I didn’t expect, such as Michael killing the guy that had been shot.

Also, Frasier’s dad is a good bad guy from way back when. Good to see him back in an evil role.

I’m pretty sure this is the first person we have seen him kill.

Yeah, but he set some up to die easily. Like that Cuban-American boss lady. Concha? Oh, and he shot the assassin as well, who bled out not far from the loft. Didn’t he also kill one of the lackies right after he got burned, or did he just bang them up a bit?

He killed the two guys in the bathroom. You hear gunshots before he exits the bathroom.

Yeah, but I bet the resurrection ship is nearby, so she’ll be back again.

Oh. Wait. Right actress, wrong show. Never mind.

He (sort of accidentally) threw the guy off the parking garage a few episodes ago.

This isn’t the first person we’ve seen him kill - maybe the first one we’ve direclty seen him kill “on screen” - This is certainly the first one he killed that affected him in an emotional "i really didnt want to do that " way.

As stated earlier - in the pilot, he definitely killed the two guys that were trying to kill him - and he did it _after_ he beat them in the fight. There were others where the situation left little room for the ‘bad guy’ to survive, or for someone else to take them out, but usually not Mike directly. (the Art dealer comes to mind).

The guy in the parking garage, IMHO, was an accident, Mike didnt intend for him to die - not just yet, anyway.

Didn’t he kack the accountant-looking assassin by breaking his neck or choking him out or just shooting him? From back in the first season maybe or early part of the second? There was a fight in his apartment and he did something clever (as usual).

June? No new Burn Notice till June!? That is far too long.

Michael is an incredible swimmer judging by where they dropped him off.

I was also quite surprised that Michael actually did kill Victor - I thought Victor would shoot himself, but it was pretty clear Micheal pulled the trigger.

I was **very** happy to see Fi finally get to kill someone - frankly, I’m actually a bit disturbed at how pleased I was she capped Carla. She looked none too troubled about the whole thing. Although we never actually saw Carla really and truly **dead** , now did we? She could just be pinin’ for the fjords.

My money is on her coming back at some point for revenge.

Anyone know the name of the rockin’ tune during the car chase?
