Was it me, or was Madeline much more subtle upon last night’s return? She didn’t whine. She didn’t nag. Read the full post.

Let’s not forget the the way that Mike and company get the bad guys isn’t always so legal. So I don’t think they’re going to want to involve the police in any way. Think of Mike as kinda like James Bond.
This episode along with every other episode is great and the bottom line is that good “entertaining” TV is hard to find. I simply want a show that the minute it ends I’m counting down to next week and recommending it to my friends and family.
i really want them to center an entire episode around Fiona for once. She’s damn-near a mystery. Okay so she likes to blow things up and she likes expensive clothes. But where does she live? Does she have parents? Siblings? A freelance gig? What kind of guy–besides Michael–is her type? I understand that she’s the show’s eye candy, but having more background for Sam than Fiona is just too uneven.
“government-sanctioned thefts”? I believe that’s a highly erroneous assumption. I’m in the school of thought that Carla et.al. are rogue agents gone to the dark side. New dude was a welcome addition, and well played. MUCH better that that hosebag Carla.
I agree that Fi needs some background- why she’s not IRA anymore–because of the peace treaty, or she’s on the lam? How did she end up in Miami when Michael was dumped there post-burn? We only need a few sentences.
Also agreeing w/commenters regarding the long arm of the law– poor little sheep wouldn’t need Michael and crew if the law worked, the law is a joke for most outlaws, the retribution factor, and there is no way in hell Michael wants, or needs to be on the radar of the cops. It would seriously crimp his activities (freelance and burn related).
Maddie wasn’t annoying because she Sam’s full attention for an extended time–she wasn’t bored and had male attention (evidently her poker broads/estrogen aren’t enough).
The other thing that makes me INSANE!? There is no way in hell Michael could have made it to Hollywood Beach in 15 min. from Biscayne Blvd unless he went by boat–cigarette boat. And in first season on top of the Hollywood Bread building that he had 10-15 min. to get to and ran the whole way? No way in hell that would have happened–the Bread building is just off Hollywood Circle, South Beach via US1? Can’t drive it in 10 minutes, crap I can’t even estimate how long it would take because I’ve only been to S. Beach from Hollywood via the turnpike and that was a fat 45 minutes, speeding, with little traffic. US1 is all in ‘town’, with traffic lights, and lots of traffic. Running it in 10min?
No. Not even on crystal meth wearing fancy running shoes.
But I can forgive it because they handle everything else very well, including the personal relationships that everyone either hates, or just plain don’t get (bro and mom).
The plot of this ep was not very original or interesting (sorry, Mr. Watkins), but I love this show for the attitude. Loved when Maddie said she had to let Sam come with her to water aerobics. I still think Maddie should join in on an upcoming op — who would suspect her of being part of a sting?
Oh yeah, this is getting fun. Victor was great, (really nice to see Michael Shanks) he added a lot of energy, and made Michael sweat a bit, much better than Carla. Fi and her clothes but a bit of background would be nice. Can’t wait to see what happens next!
sippy sip is the best line in the show to date. sam brings much needed comedy to the show!
Nearly five people witnessed him trying to kill Ricky and admitting to the embezzlement scheme
Yes – but three are supposed to be “under the radar” and wouldn’t want the attention. One was the rapper mogul, who apparently has a very shady past and probably does not want any legal attention put on him and the other was the accountant who has been exposed to violence and gang like activity his whole life. I had no qualms with letting the bad guy kill the sleazy embezzler.
Michael has no compunctions about killing bad guys – I feel that’s made clear in the pilot. If you go back and watch, he racks up quite a body count at the beginning before he gets on the plane. I’ve always felt that his avoidance of killing was mainly due to a desire to avoid attention and suspicion, not out of any moral qualms. He does, however seem to take pains to avoid killing civilians.
Better episode than expected – loved Fi as the drunken gf and when they grabbed Valentine. Think Mike’s starting to crumble a little bit with her. Also enjoyed the dinner scene tween him and his mom. Nice to see a non-confrontational scene with them.
