Burn Notice- Heh, what's with all the Heroes folks? So Mike is on some deep cover mission for HRG, investigating Nathan Petrelli.
Interesting, so Fiona has some new beau, Carlos? And I know they needed some excuse to draw him back to his friends, but something just rang a little false with Maddie accidentally blowing Mike's cover. Yes, she was worried about getting custody of Nate's kid, but I would've figured all those years since Michael's been back in her life she'd be way more cautious, particularly since the gang had mentioned some guy has been asking around about Michael. Even if she was scared about losing the kid, that should've still raised red flags right there. "Hmm, we want to give you the kid, but your other son is so mysterious! Tell us all about him, or else the kid gets sent to foster care!"
Pretty ruthless of Mike though to purposely drive into the gunfire to get the one guy killed though. I've still always been skeptical about that part of him. I mean, we've only seen him after he got burned and started being a do gooder, but I've never believed the whole he was this super-cold, do anything to win sort of guy before Miami. Because if he was, what the frick changed for him to make him that way? Like if he used to be this killer a-hole, usually there would be some event to make him become this Robin Hood type in stories like this. I always figured even before Miami, he was like Ethan Hunt in MI, preferring misdirection and stealth to avoid casualties to get the job done. But then Larry was all, "I wanna see the old Mike!" in the eps he was in, and this one HRG is all, I need the ruthless Mike on this one. And there's just been nothing on the show to indicate he really was that kinda guy or what changed to make him who he is now.
Graceland- Decided to check this out. Nothing to write home about, just your typical bunch of good looking undercover cops doing undercover crop. I did hear they replaced Jeanne from NCIS with Smallville Zatanna (that chick from Breakout Kings) in subsequent eps though. Which explains why the latter is all over the upcomings after the ep.
