Well the writers certainly know how to ratchet up the tension don't they? Gotta tell ya though, it's starting to become a bit much--blackmailing Fiona, headshinking Madeline, arranging to kill her husband, hand-picking her boyfriend, then killing him, and now neutralizing Sam. This storyline is gonna collapse under its own weight unless the writers come up with some spec-TAC-ular plan/twist that does away with Anson once and for all--and hopefully doesn't give Michael to some other handler who's gonna make his life miserable yet again. I realize that keeping him burned is the basis for the show, but seven seasons of a recycled backstory may not keep viewers' attention--something needs to change IMO.
As for Beatriz, I didn't see "The Fall of Sam Axe" so I wasn't aware she was a recurring character. While I had sympathy for the character, I felt that the actress who played her just phoned it in--her performance was wooden.

Oh my. Anson is the best villain. The best. He's not one-note, like so many other villains on TV. But all these delicious layers to confuse and intrigue us. His helping Michael understand why he needed to be the hero was fantastic and I started softening towards him. Then boom. He stops Sam from bringing the FBI against him and then tells Michael he killed his father. Wow. I hope he sticks around for a long-time, because he is fun and a worthy nemesis to Michael. But man, now all the episode villains are going to come up lame in comparison. Fabulous episode.
It was indeed an emotional episode...........but I'm having a hard time buying that Anson can continuously stay three steps ahead of Michael..........Yes, Anson may know Michael inside and out, but I think he's eventually going to slip up and Micheal will be free of him......I do see Michael offing Anson since he has learned he was responsible for his father's death........

This was just such a mind-blowing episode. For the first time in WEEKS have I been this shocked, surprised and absorbed into an episode. The last time I gave an episode a full five was...well it was long back so I don't remember :P
Anson is a son of bitch with six brains. And the way he talks about Michael's parents is so unbearable, I can't believe Michael keeps his cool. When Anson helped Michael and Sam with Beatriz, and by the way, woo hoo for her return, I actually thought Anson and Michael were in the beginning of a sort of symbiotic relationship. And then when Sam was set up, I went back to hating Anson. I can't help but LOVE to hate him. When he told Michael that he killed Frank and said 'You're welcome', lets just say that was the last straw for me. I can never go back to thinking maybe he has a soul. However, I liked the way he brought out Michael's honest side. I can't be more surprised with Michael being truthful to himself than Michael was. It was almost refreshing.

Burn Notice has been renewed for 2 more seasons so we'll be seeing more of the GRR I WAS BURNED STORYLINE soon. The episode was great, but this whole season is a deviation from the main storyline. This season is about Michael dealing with Anson to save Fiona, while he should be focused on his grand goal of getting back in the CIA. Hopefully when it's over, he can go back to that and finally get some closure on this "Burned" storyline.
I have never before enjoyed a show so much! Just when I think it can't get better, Burn Notice goes and gets better. I am already on the edge of my seat for next week's episode!

I really HATE Anson! While I enjoyed the show, I am having doubts about how fast all this information is coming out. Either Anson is a manipulative psychopath who is twisting facts to get the responses he requires and Mikes next task will be to unravel the truth from the lies. OR They are looking to wrap up the show in a nice neat bow :( I sincerely doubt that Anson was the mastermind from the time Mike was 16. He makes a good front man for evil but we may never find out who the ultimate puppet-master is/was.
I like the way Fi and Jesse work together but really want to see another Fi and Mike op. It is about time Madeline gets acknowledged for the vital role she plays to the team as well. The others see it, about time her son says "We couldn't have done it without you."

all I have to say is WOW you know there are few show left on these earth where they can truly Shock you I am shock that they were able to keep these underwrap without someone finding out and spoling it Well done Burn Notice.
So if Anson Fullerton arranged for Michael dad death I wonder if he also arranged for him to join the CIA after he got out of the Amry I also want to know who Michael Killed that made Anson do all of these was it Anson son his real wife or was it Anson own father.
I have to say these has been there best season EVER!!! and I can not wait to see how these ends but I do have a feeling that next season will be the last I wonder if Matt Nix will do a spinoff with Sam
