geebsTV commentary:
Burn Notice- Interesting summer finale. So Dr Cox was the one who hired that dude from SoA/The Shield to kill Anson? And to what end? I wanna say he didn't mean for Tyler Grey to kill Michael's brother, because why would he? Either he's a really good liar when he was telling Michael's mom Mike is like his only family, or Nate was just accidental collateral damage. Because how would he know Nate would be there, and I doubt he'd tell the sniper guy, "Be careful not to kill Michale's brother if he happens to be standing in the flight path of the bullet". I'm guessing killing Anson would be the guy's utmost priority. But once that happened, he knew Mike couldn't be dissuaded, and that's why he needed to have Michael killed? Because regardless of seeing Michael as a son, not having any of this blow back on him is more important?
Suits- A little surprised at the summer finale. I was worried they were going to end in a cliffhanger, with Hardman in control and them trying to figure out what to do. But nope, they resolve it through a bit of deus ex machina. Louis goes into Harvey's office to try and get incriminating evidence on him, and he gets caught by a high Mike and Harvey. They try to figure out what he did and are all, "Hmph, it would be above Hardman to plant evidence to get you in trouble" and then "Yes, it wouldn't be above him!" and realize he planted the fake memo with a forged stamp of Donna's. So anyways, they use the info to take him down and force him out (given his plan to settle involved everyone paying to make the suit go away, so the other partners weren't too pleased with that). Well, maybe its not really deus ex machina, because what Hardman did totally makes sense, and the show was just being really subtle with the clues (like the mysterious thing Hardman had on that one guy that made him back off?), and it didn't just pull the solution out of thin air.
So he's gone, though I'm not sure when he tells Jessica this isn't over, if he does have something up his sleeve immediately for next season, or he will be spending time thinking up revenge and show up at some point later in time.
There is one cliffhanger and it involves Mike. First off, we meet this girl Tess at the funeral, who is supposedly this girl he's known all his life and used to date but we've never seen mentioned. So anyways, cut to later, he's so happy he found the evidence he could use to nail Hardman, and he kisses Rachel. She eventually pushes him off, because she feels he's not in the best state of mind (his grandma just died, he just found this evidence that could save them all) and jumping into something now wouldn't be smart. So Mike is all, maybe we should stop doing the smart things.
Of course, that sounds like a, "Hey, when you're ready, I'm ready" kinda thing. But nope, he immediately calls Tess and hops into bed with her. Which is of course the exact time Rachel shows up at his door wanting to get back together. She's totally crushed when she sees naked except for a blanket Tess in the background when Mike answers the door.
What the hell, Mike? Well, I guess he did say he was tired of doing the smart thing. And what's not smart, telling one girl, "Hey, even though you say this isn't a wise decision, we shouldn't do the wise thing" and not giving her hardly any time to process that before hooking up with some other girl!
Wilfred- Didn't this end somewhat offensively? So Ryan fesses everything up to Jenna. Who is rightly mad at him. But in the end, she forgives him, because it was okay he did all that stuff because she had used him, purposely flirting with him in the beginning because she could tell he had a crush on her so he would watch her dog? Does that really excuse what he did? I mean, he made her a laughing stock by accidentally drugging her, gave her a pregnancy scare that caused her to get engaged to a douche, and blackmailed her boss, but that's okay, because she had led him on initially to get him to dogsit.
WO blather- Currently working on Magoichi, Huang Gai and Pang Tong. The first two I just need to max out their weapons. Pang Tong is basically a fresh character. But yeah, after I finish up Pang Tong and Huang Gai, that finishes up all the major DW faction folks, leaving only Zhang Jiao and Meng Huo from DW. So who do I have left to max?
Others 1: Zhang Jiao, Meng Huo, Da Ji, Sun Wukong, Kiyomori Taira
Others 2: Himiko, Dodomeki and Gyuki (actually, I just have to level them up a bit more and max out their weapons, I had gotten their personal skill to S a long time ago, since Dodomeki is the one that lets you rank faster and Gyuji is the one who lets your weapon rank go up faster, but amusingly enough, I haven't even used them all that much for that), Sanzang, Benkei, Shuten Doji
Samurai 1: Okuni, Shingen Takeda
Samurai 2: Yoshimoto Imagawa, Ieyasu Tokugawa, Nene
Samurai 3: Hanbei Takanaka, Goemon Ishikawa
18? That's not too bad.
