Thursday Night: Burn It Down

9 November 2012 by Jess

Sorry this is a little late–yesterday was a long day! I fell behind, again, on my daily word count goal for Nano, and I only had prepared my evaluation of the Burn Notice premiere before I had to catch some sleep. In any case, here it is! Thursday’s recap:

Burn Notice

In the end, Michael Westen will be Michael Westen when there’s nobody whispering in his ear trying to be his conscience. Over the years, Michael and the crew have gone to great lengths (Fiona, not always so much 🙂 not to kill the bad guys. They’ll put the bad guys in a spot where someone else will kill them, sure, but they very rarely pull the trigger. It’s why we respect them so much. They are modern day Robin Hood types, helping the poor and defenseless to overcome the rich, powerful, and evil.

No one ought to have been shocked to see Michael kill Card. He is a trained killer. Just because he was under house arrest in Miami for so many years doesn’t take that instinct out of him. The man was responsible for killing his only brother. What else could he do? Being Michael Westen, a bullet to the head is exactly the only thing he could do.

Now, Michael is on the run–again. My question is: how will he get out of it, because we know he always does find a way!

Beyond that, is Madeline really leaving for good? It’s not the first time she’s threatened that Michael’s lifestyle was too much for her to watch.

Elementary

Holmes inserts himself into a plane crash which turns out to be a homicide, while Watson tries to understand him and get to know him better–a nearly impossible task.

Sherlock’s father is supposed to come in and have dinner with the two of them, which Joan is happily prepared to do, but Sherlock knows his father too well and knows he won’t actually be coming to dinner. He decides to trick Joan by having an actor play his father at the restaurant, proving that he does in fact know his father that well to know he wouldn’t show up after all. The actor turns out to be Holmes’s friend and gives Joan a little more insight into the man who is Sherlock Holmes including a name from Holmes’s past that turns the usually cool and collected Sherlock into a quivering chinned mess just as the episode finishes.

I think Joan might be digging too deeply into things that she doens’t need to be–she and Holmes are not friends, after all. But, it will be interesting to learn a bit more about Sherlock’s past from this modern day perspective.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

“The Gang Gets Analyzed” How many of us have said that they should have done this YEARS AGO???
It also makes perfect sense that Dee is the one who is already in therapy–none of the other guys except maybe Mac would be open to something like that. I am amazed they even accomplished anything by going to therapy though because of their inability to look at themselves and each other in a really honest way.

It all started because they couldn’t figure out who was supposed to do the dishes after they all had dinner together, and of course, when the therapist announces Dee has to do them, she is so upset, she just smashes all the dishes, right there in the therapist’s office.

In other words: Classic Sunny 🙂

This week:

I will post a recap of Chicago Fire, Grey’s, and Last Resort as soon as I am able (hopefully later today or early tomorrow). With that, the week’s regular line-up here will be wrapped up and we’ll just have new Revenge to look forward to on Sunday!

Next Tuesday will be messy, but the rest of the week is pretty clear-cut, with the exception of the new Thursday line-up with Burn Notice, Last Resort and Up All Night all airing during the first primetime hour. Eek! Like I said though, Burn Notice is always the trump card.

Have a good weekend and until next time!

It affects chemicals in the body that are involved in the cause of some types of pain. There are many medicines which give you things you need to be ready on your own terms. What doctors talk about viagra or cialis? It contains Sildenafil. Also known as erectile dysfunction is defined as the impossibility to attain an erection suitable for intercourse. Having erectile dysfunction can no doubt complicate dating. Many men take more medicines later in life and some have sexual side effects that will lead to impotency. Some of medications fuel desire.

About the Blog

This is a place to share my love and excessive fandom of film, actors, and television. I gush a lot, and I complain a lot, usually not simultaneously.

I share my take on the latest movies I’ve seen (some new, some new to me, and some classics that are worth a rewatch), and a little promotion here and there for shows or films that I feel deserve a little more attention than they’re getting.

So, kick back, settle in, switch on, tune in, or whatever you have to do and join in on the love for all things that move on-screen.
