Show of hands: Burn Notice

Hey, flist!

Who here watches Burn Notice?

Come on, don't be shy! :)

If you don't, you should. It has Bruce Campbell as a washed-out, quasi-drunken yet all-around awesome ex-Navy SEAL sidekick to the main character. What's not to love?

I do! I've totally gotten hooked on the show. :P I love Fiona the most, though. She's so awesome. (And a little scary sometimes. XD)

I like Fiona much better now that she's ditched the phony Irish accent. ;)

And she is scary. That's my favourite part about her.

Fiona? Yeah, but he's all kinds of awesome. After I started watching Burn Notice, I read somewhere that they originally envisioned Bruce Campbell as Mulder's replacement on season 8 of the x-files. Imagining Sam Axe and Scully in the same room together never fails to crack me up.

Scully would have an aneurysm. I would pay good money to see that. :D

I KNOW. It would have been amazing. I would have been like "Mulder? Mulder who?"

The supernatural/paranormal cases would have just been a bonus at that point.

Oh yeah. Just watching Bruce Campbell exude awesomeness at the camera would have been worth it. But then, maybe that's why they didn't go with him. The last two seasons of the X-Files sucked really hard anyway.

Totally a Burn Notice fan. And Sam is love. One of my favorite lines, and one that makes me giggle every time (not sure why) is when he's staying with Michael for a reason I can't remember and needs clothes and says something like, "I can't fit in your little doll clothes." Hee! What's-his-name is really tiny. :)

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-07-05 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Not that tiny. The internet tells me he's six feet tall! Skinny dude, though. :D

Sam is totally love. He's practically the entire reason to watch the show. Never mind the others. Although I have a soft spot for Madeleine.

I watch it, too!

My favorite character is Madaline (Mom!) - hee - but I do like the other characters enough to watch when she's not involved. ;->

And I love the cinematography and editing/presentation and the locations. It's nice to see something fresh. (And sun!) I just shake my head at all the do-it-yourself spy stuff we viewers get taught!

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-07-05 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL

I always note that the DIY spy stuff is just vague enough that the average person wouldn't really be able to do it. ;)

I love Madeleine too. She and Sam make the show for me.

I got season 1 DVD for xmas and am working my way through it! Bruce Campbell is my hero. I loved his autobiography, If Chins Could Kill. I NEVER read autobiographies, but I made an exception for him. It's AWESOME.

I might have a slight stalker crush on him.

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-07-05 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee! If anyone deserves to have stalker crushes, it's Bruce Campbell. :)

He only gets better as the show progresses, too.

hahaha, I love Burn Notice, it's such a clever show! And...you know...BRUCE CAMPBELL, omg. <3

I also love Fiona. USA is great at making cool female characters. :D

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-07-05 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Bruce Campbell, FTW!

I love Fiona and Maddie. In fact, I love the supporting cast more than the main character. :)

I haven't seen it, but I've heard great things, and it's on my Netflix Queue. Since my Netflix queue is like, 300 movies long, I'll get to it in the next four years for sure!

Heh. It's certainly a fun show. Look forward to hearing your opinion when you finally watch it!

*raises hand*

I've been wanted to write a SPN/Burn Notice crossover for a while, but I have no plot bunny...

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-07-05 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome. Let me know if you ever do write one. :)

[identity profile] claudiapriscus.livejournal.com 2010-07-05 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I second that.

Oooh! Cliffhanger of doom!

I love Burn Notice!!! This season is turning out to be awesome too. The characters are all amazing, especially Madeline.

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-07-06 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I love Madeleine too. She's starting to be my favourite part of the show. :D

[identity profile] saschi212.livejournal.com 2010-07-07 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
Love that show! How can you not love Michael Westen?? It's such a fun cast and just so satisfying to watch.

Love Burn Notice!! One of my favorites
