I sold Heroes seasons 1 & 2, plus some movies to a used CD/DVD place to get the cashy money necessary- Burn Notice is up there with CHUCK for me as MUST-OWN TV!!!!

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I didn't buy it.

I recorded it when it aired. Then I burned my own disks from that.

Maybe I'll pick it up when it gets cheap enough.

For us to like a show like this is to be a dichotomy itself; how can we dislike the machinations of clandestine government ops, yet root for Weston?


I also like Dirty Harry movies, yet deplore police brutality.

Go figure.

I suspect at the conclusion of the series, Michael will be offered his old position, with a raise and perks.

He'll think about for a second and throw it right back into their faces

look at Sam and Fi and say " you ever consider a career in southern law enforcement "



I might deplore the clandestine government, but the machinations and methods of taking such a government down are of great interest.

Call it a hobby

A shout out from the English side of BN fans.

Mine is currently winging it's way across the Atlantic as I type this.
Importing is great (and usually cheaper) but you do have to wait about 1-2 weeks for it to arrive. Unless you wanna pay massively over the odds p+p.

Had a bit of a BN festival last night. Dear Daughter hooked her new PC to the big screen and now we have HULU ON THE BIG SCREEN!

Watched 2 season 2 episodes and the new one.

Actually it was a very smooth hookup. The PC has an HDMI outlet and we already had rigged up an ethernet cable for the XBox.

This morning she informed me that she now knew how to get HD on Hulu.

I'm going to have to seriously rethink cable now between Hulu and Netflix/Amazon UnBox streaming.

I'm with you, cioccolata. (I've got other favorites, such as "Chuck," but these two are way up there. "Psych" returns on August 7! Can't wait!)

It's only cheaper than UK prices.
I still have to pay what you colonials pay and then add airmail on top of that. And it's still better than prices over here.

We have a tendency (though not always) to get ripped off over here. If it's not the price then it's the extras.
Take The Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 1 on DVD on its release date. I saw it in a local shop (for local people) for about £20. The only extras were deleted scenes.
It was available in the US for $18 with all the commentaries, behind the scenes, gag reel etc and it was free airmail for this one.
You can do the math on the money side of things. You can guess which one I went for.


Back to the show and it is shaping up very nicely indeed. Good to see Nate back again and Brennan (they do like their returning characters on this show).

I have a slight theory about how the show might end as well. This will be way off, but I just want to put it out there for the record.
I think Barry is behind it all. The money laudering and salon is just a cover. Even the management answers to someone and I think it's him. He's making too many appearances to be just the guy we think he is. And if you needed Michael for something wouldn't you keep a close eye on him by helping him out occasionally?

Just a thought.
