I was really afraied this Michael wuz framed story was going to be formulaic. And I loved how they got the neuro scientist between a rock and a hard place. Plus how cool to see Charisma Carpenter again?! With SMG coming back on the air next week, I'm in Buffy nostalgia happy place. I wonder if they intended the dancing sequence with Fi as a throwback to Scent of a Woman?

You know the second the hubby gets stuck at Langley, she'll unload on him and help send him to traitor jail. Then she may well move to Miami and join Fi's bookclub. The books will be things along the lines of "C-4 Best Detonationg Caps in Tropical Environments" but Charisma will come for the mojitos. Oddly, the author of these books is likely Fi herself, so just two chicks drinking mojitos.

They finally reveal the mastermind behind Michael's burn notice and I didn't even care. I think they stretched it out for so long that I lost interest.

I was always a little annoyed that the anonymous character that shot himself was pegged to be the big bad, but knew that there was going to be more to it. The fact that they veered off into a Larry caper and then boom dropped in the resolution was affirmatively inspired.

Tevian randomly killing himself at the start, Larry's back, Fi's remorse at harming innocent people (which turned out to not be her fault), and then the REAL big big bad finally revealing himself... wayyyyyy too much to handle in a single hour. I'm glad it finally happened though. I honestly expected Anson was in on the Larry scheme at the start, but I didn't know it was going to be to that extent. Would be awesome if Larry turned out to be alive and saved Michael and co. from the evil grasp of that big bad at the finale. Or maybe have Sugar kill him with a plastic bee-bee gun.

Posts: 16629 (11/05/11 02:22 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Yup that was short hiatus. Fun ep. I like that it's now Fi who's in jeopardy with the police instead of Mikey himself. The guy playing Anson really is a dick -- this is the best big bad BN's ever cooked up. So was Anson co-head of the evil network with Management or was he Management's boss? And is Management dead? (And once again, how did Carla fit into the mix? A rogue agent within the network?) ETA: remember those security cards the computer guy gave to Michael?

The past couple of eps have been verging into "I will watch this thing to its conclusion" territory, but I really liked the mad Liberian missle-builder ep. The gang was firing on all cylinders and finally just when Michael seemed to be able put up some points on Anson, wham! That being said, where did Benny come from? I don't recall heaing about him until this ep.

Wasn't thrilled with how they handled who ended up being the one who burned him but just a minor complaint. I don't buy that Michael could get the place he rents, heck I'd live in a dump if I could be by the water in Miami but I do like that it's a dump yet still a really cool place to live although I don't think I could deal with the nightclub people.

I get it that Anson has these people dead to rights. But perhaps on interpersonal relationships? Fi, sob sob, is finally in confinement. Now Michael is free of Anson, able to break the alter-mission to Agent Pearce, and nail Anson and rescue Fi. What's not to like? Except that Anson's speech to Michael about being forced to deal with Mommy, Fi, and Miami was a good thing.

I had a feeling the chick on the team was a plant by Anson. Looking forward to Michael breaking out of Anson's bitchleash and going to war with him.

I'll be glad when Anson is gone. He looks like he had some bad plastic surgery and it totally bugs me. Plus, he's a douche.

Posts: 16769 (12/18/11 11:53 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Ad freedom fighters united! Remove this ad The finale didn't sit right with me, either -- the pay-off is Fi turning herself in? Not only did they telegraph it, but I thought that was a pretty weak threat to be holding over the gang in the first place -- all Michael had to do was prove the existence of Anson to his apparently understanding boss, explain how Anson framed her, and get the CIA proper to pull the plug on him. Which is something he's now free to do. Fi will be having a mojito at that beachside restaurant by nightfall. As for Anson, I like him as a villain. He's perfect in being so annoying. Glad to see Vaughn's role in the evil enterprise finally illuminated -- he was Anson's chief operational guy all along -- but can anyone explain how Carla fit into the old organzation? Maybe she was Vaughn's former lieutenant and too far down the ladder to know of Anson?
