geebsTV commentary:
Burn Notice- What the frick?! It went down exactly as I guessed- Michael instinctively shot Sonya, in full view of James, so he swears revenge. Anyways, since Mike and Fi go to flee, all HRG finds is Sonya's corpse, so the CIA is pissed, and he makes Michael and the gang fugitives.
So there only choice is to go after James. Michael is semi-suicidal in his methods, and he thinks he finally has a way to get James. And he almost succeeds. Too bad James was able to do some detective work on his own and figured out how to trace the burners Sam and Jesse had gotten. So he has them pinned, and sent a team after Maddy and Jessie and the nephew.
Anyways, to save Nate's son, Maddie ends up blowing herself up, her final line being, "This is for my boys!" Dammit, I had heard someone was going to die, but I did not expect that. I'd expected her to live, with Michael and Fi faking their deaths and her happy knowing her son was safe out there.
Owel, anyways, the good guys win, even though it seems James blew himself up with Michael and Fi, but as I suspected, everyone would think Michael was dead, and he'd be off living with Fi somewhere raising Nate's son. Interesting though, so Sam and Jesse are still doing the helping the helpless thing?
Graceland- Interesting conclusion. But wait, the recordings weren't stolen by some nefarious party, the car thieves had just pawned the tape recorder, and now the tape is in the hands of some random skater boys?! But I digress. Anyways, everything is out in the open- Mike issues a detain on sight order for Briggs, unfortunately, Briggs manages to talk his way past Johnny, and Jakes thinks he puts Briggs on a ship headed for another country.
But nope, Briggs is still looking for Jangles, which Mike figures out, because Briggs whole thing has been about taking this guy down. We find out in addition to shooting Briggs up full of H, Jangles tortured him until he gave something up- and he did, his training officer. Unfortunately, he didn't know that would lead Jangles to Graceland 1.0, the estate, and get his friends and his love killed. So he gives his phone to that one drug dealer guy Charlie beat up, since the guy came to Briggs to flee the country, thinking Briggs is still a criminal. So since he was giving the guy cash and fake IDs, he also slipped him his phone all, "Here's a safe phone!"
As expected, since Mike called it in, the House is being investigated, and everyone is pissed at each other. Jakes/Johnny/Charlie are mad that Mike is a rat and that Paige knew and they think they're sleeping together. Jakes and Johnny are mad at the rest of them for thinking Briggs could be bad, and then Johnny is mad that Briggs chose to confide in Jakes rather than him. Johnny reveals that Charlie has been hanging out with a federale, so Jakes warns Briggs since Briggs had told himm to watch out for Charlie.
Charlie's all sad at the turn of events and sends Jangles away, thinking she can no longer help him given the mess at the house, still unaware that he's a secret killer. But ugh, the guy is like putting the moves on her, and she's all, "I'd be up for it, but it would be unwise!" What?!!! Why the eff would she want that? I mean, not that the guy is like hideously repulsive, but well, he is kinda hideously repulsive compared to the guys she usually hangs around. She's like fricking hanging out with guys who look like male models, how the eff is Jangles even in the running for tapping that?
I mean, I'm not saying there's all these good looking guys she knows she could be tapping, because those are her co-workers, obviously that would be ill-advised. But he's like some old dude, I cannot see her having any sort of sexual attraction to the guy at all. Like even last week, when she took him undercover with her as her new lover, I thought that was effin ridiculous. Its like, if I were the drug dealer guy, I'd be all, who's your creepy looking uncle?
But yeah, what the shit, Briggs gets the drop on Jangles, but Charlie catches them, and she sides with Jangles. Dumb-ass. So she and Briggs get captured, and of course she almost gets raped, but luckily Mike shows up. And hey, look at him with the cowboy moves. He outdraws Jangles and quickly shoots him dead from the hip with a double tap to the heart. I actually thought that was kinda cool, it was a nice callback to his time with the Bello. Bello fancied them as modern gunslingers, and hey, turns out Mike kinda is.
Anyways, in the end, they pin Juan's death on Jangles, and the House is back in business, and Mike has some new job in Washington, though the gang seems to have forgiven him. Mike obviously misses his time there, since now he has a desk job (even if it is a high level one!). But since they need to draw viewers back in, in addition to the random boys having the tape, Briggs calls Mike all, "Oh, I never mentioned this thing I need your help with.." and Michael looking all shocked and concerned.
