I watched an episode of Burn Notice not too long ago, after watching an episode of season 7 of TWD. It got me thinking, what if Michael and his group had been a part of the Atlanta group since the beginning? He was a top CIA agent As a covert operative, Michael is incredibly resourceful and held an extensive knowledge of topics including bushcraft, Posttraumatic stress disorder, escapology, chemistry, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, medicine, surgery, and criminal psychology.
He was able to strategize, can bluff almost anyone, and did know how to fight. He was a war veteran with over twenty years of martial arts experience, with two black belts in karate.
With someone like him being with them from the start, he would have been an amazing asset.If he was in Rick's group in season 1, how different would the show be with him? Would he be the leader instead of Rick? Would he accept Rick giving him orders?
How would his dynamic be with some of the characters (Rick, Shane,the rest)?
How would he have approached the fights with villains such as the Governor, Terminus, or Negan?
We use Amazon Prime to watch and suddenly Burn Notice costs 3$ per episode? What happened to it? We can't afford to pay 25$ bucks per season.
First time I’m actually watching Breaking Bad and just got to season 3. Who let Anson be a shrink again.
Banks don't care about the enviroment, they want people to get in there cars and drive to work. Even the central banksare making their own employees return to the office. There's a huge energy crisis happening in Europe and many other countries, price of gas is more like $10/gallon over there. Working at a office has a huge carbon footprint and bankers are demanding wagies return.
All of the Bitcoin employees work from home, they burn 0 gasoline to drive to work. My node has not got into a car once. Mining rigs don't drive anywhere either. Bitcoin is a good for the enviroment.
So I used to be a Burn Notice fan but I lost interest when I discovered Person of Interest. I still like to watch it from time to time but frankly it could use some improvements.
Can anyone recommend me some Burn Notice fanfics that are set during season 3 and have the following plot points:
- Basically, now that Michael is no longer under Management's protection everyone in Miami is after him. Half of the Miami Underworld wants him dead, and the other half want to hire him. And instead of having just Detective Paxson investigating him the D.A. office and the MPD form a task force designed to bring him, Sam, and Fiona down for vigilantism and property damage. And to top it all off the Team would have to deal with investigative reporters who have heard about Michael through his deeds. So basically, I'm looking for a fanfic that would have an arc about how Michael and the team would be trying to find ways to get these people off his back.
- As I got older I found it irritating that Michael and the Team seem to have a taboo against killing the bad guys, which is ironic since they were all professional killers themselves. Now I could understand that they choose not to kill the bad guys to avoid collateral damage, but I just found it odd that a group of former killers had a problem with killing the bad guys. So can anyone recommend me a fanfic where, the team doesn't have much of a problem with killing bad guys?
Season 3, Episode 2
When Fiona gives Michael his birthday present, he starts to open it then thinks for a moment. Like he was hoping it wasn't an explosive. Then when it didn't explode he smiled. Lmao
“It’s ironic. All those years wishing he was dead, and we did it for you….whispered voice You’re welcome, Michael.”
-Anson, Season 5, Ep. 16
Everything that happens in the show is a result of Anson and Management. The question is how do we get to them being around at the end of the series. When Nate has Anson at gunpoint, he implies that he knows where the bodies are buried for some powerful people, which makes him a loose end.
In the episode, Anson and Nate are then shot. In our alternate timeline, however, as Anson says this he stomps on Nate’s foot and turns to run off, and that’s when the sniper shot rings out killing Nate. Anson disappears, seemingly forever, and the rest of the series continues on like it did irl.
Everything that happened in season 7 seven still happens, but the Burke part ends after just 3-4 episodes. Instead of James, Management returns but is then dealt with in the mid season finale. And at the end of the episode, the last thing we see is security camera footage of Anson walking into view, he says “hello, Michael,” and the episode ends.
The last half of the season sees Michael dealing with Anson once and for all.
THAT’S the ending we should’ve gotten.
So I kind of had a spur of the moment idea to get a Burn Notice tattoo, but I’m not exactly sure how that would look or what exactly I would want to do. Anyone got any ideas? I was kind of thinking of using a bunch of symbols throughout the series to create one big piece. Ex) Micheal’s Sunglasses, Blueberry Yogurt, C-4, a Mojito. If you guys have any alternate or more ideas, I’d love to hear it! If anyone is good at art, I’d love to chat as well!
I'm pondering a victim-of-the-week "We help the helpless" fan-game in the lineage of MacGyver, the A Team, Burn Notice, and Leverage.
So, looking at character archetypes from this genre, there are a couple of divisions:
What skills they bring to the table (con artistry, hacking, fighting, planning, weird stuff like magic or supertech, connections)
What they did before they started helping folks (government suit, legit businessman, criminal, soldier)
Why they help the helpless (compassion for the hurting, guilt for something they've done, grief for someone they've lost, sheer challenge, etc).
I'm trying to figure out which of these (or a different set of divisions entirely) is the best thing to base playbooks on. I'm leaning toward Skill-based playbooks, but that's less flavorful than background or motivation based. Would it be too complicated to have characters choose a Playbook, an Origin, and a Motivation?
Michael Westen = chaotic good
Sam Axe = lawful good
Jesse Porter = lawful good
Fiona Glenanne = neutral good or lawful good
Larry Sizemore = chaotic evil
James Kendrick = lawful evil
Tyler Brennan = neutral evil
Anson Fullerton = neutral evil
Carla = chaotic neutral
Victor = lawful evil
Mason Gilroy = neutral evil
Olivia Riley = lawful neutral
Tom Card = true neutral
Agree or disagree? Used this template:
Good = save the cheerleader
Neutral = leave the cheerleader to her fate
Evil = kill the cheerleader
lawful = according to principle
neutral = according to need
chaotic = according to impulse
So when I was a teen I used to watch a TV show called Burn Notice which is all about how a former spy gets burned aka fired, and how he now has to go through life as a PI to make ends meet. All in all there were three things that I never quite able to understand in the TV Show in Burn Notice.
- So basically a lot of episodes show Michael and his team rubbing elbows with a lot of members of Miami's underworld. This made me wonder how come the rest of the Miami underworld didn't go after Michael and Company? Some of them would probably want payback against Michael and his group for screwing them over, while others would probably try to hire him. And it's not like the team does a good job at remaining anonymous. They always seem to blow their cover at the end of an episode and by the time they get through Season 2 and Season 3 a lot of people have heard about Michael's, Sam, and Fiona's deeds. So how come most members of Miami's underworld, or at least the well-connected members of Miami's underworld, still haven't heard of Michael's Team? At best some of them would be a bit more wary of dealing with someone who matches Michael's, Sam, or Fiona's description.
- The Team's personal ethics also confuses me. They all usually seem to have a problem with hurting/killing people, even the bad-guys mooks, and causing collateral damage. I mean it would make sense if they were a bunch of former FBI agents, or a bunch of idealistic hacktivists. Or if they were trying to avoid killing people so as to avoid attracting attention. But the thing is one is a former intelligence field operative, one is a former Special Operative, and one is a former IRA terrorist. Generally, the people who work in these kinds of professions have no qualms about killing other people, or doing whatever it takes to get the job done. And let's face it the "staying anonymous" argument falls flat on its face considering the amount of mayhem they cause in each and every episode. So it just kind of bugs me that the team is so apprehensive about doing things that are morally questionable, considering that is pretty much the basis of intelligence work.
- Fiona. Now don't misunderstand I like Fiona as much as the next fan, but it seems like she doesn't have any long-term goals or plans besides being together with Michael. And while she and Michael do make a good battle-couple I'm not sure how long they would last if they settled down. Being a PI is great and all but its not a good way to get financ

I sure hope it is not leaving Prime as well. It might be a good idea to watch it while you can.
On a similar note, White Collar is also in the expiring section.
Hello
Just received our instant pot few days ago. For our first runs we thought to try out the air fryer function for fries.
For some reason every time we try (Sweet potatoes or French fries) air fry, in like 4-5 min we get Burn notice. Then close, see inside all good, then can air fry for 4-6min again then again burn notice. But the thing is, it is brand new, nothing is tripping or touching to the bottom (using the second green bot to put inside).
What could be the issue? Maybe not sealing the top lid correctly or something as new user i forgot to do?
In episode "Damned If You Do" they ask Madeline to hack some officer's computer. And to explain how they will hack we hear Michael's voice saying sth like this:
"DRAMs are usually unprotected because all the data in DRAM is volatile and the moment computer shuts down they are erased. But if you can freeze the DRAM before data is deleted and you can still copy it to another device "
I LMAO'd since I have engineering background. Then I proceed to search google to find more people like me who noticed this nonsense. And BOM. It was real.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1640805/goofs
" Cryogenic freezing of DRAM can cause it to retain data for minutes - up to hours - after removal from the initial system and power source "

I am getting really frustrated. I have tried everything I can think of : using trivet, not using trivet, getting new sealing rings, getting new insert pot, etc. I get it with white sauces, red sauces, everything. What else should I try??? My IP is two years old, but it’s been happening for many months.
