Father Hottie

Forgive me Father for I have Sinned. What more can I say after seeing Michael Westin play the part of a priest in the latest episode of Burn Notice. A man should never look that good wearing a priests outfit. Calling him H-O-T in that scene doesn't even do it justice and as bad as that sounds, well, I never said I was an angel :-)

Wonderful episode as always! Michael, Fi and Sam work to get rid of a step dad who beats his stepson and wife. A situation that hits close to home for Michael because as a child he lived very similar circumstances. This is the first time I can recall having a child be the "client" and he did a superb job. I sure wish I could be Michael's um "client".

Anyways..Michael, Fi and Sam work to make the step dad think he is losing his mind by faking their own deaths and then being resurrected. Michael as a priest, Sam as a fruit vendor, and Fi as a random girl shopping on the corner. Once the step dad goes "crazy" it is much easier for the mom to win full parental rights to her son.The fake death scene was HILARIOUS as they each worked to make it their own-- super dramatic and true to character. You almost want to laugh as it all goes down in slow mo with western music playing in the background but when I thought of it being a real death scene for any of those characters my heart actually kind of ached..

With all the great moments somehow I have forgotten to mention the main storyline in the last few blogs. Michael is still working as hard as he can to get back into the good graces of the government. He is still convinced the only way he will be whole again is to get his old job back. This involves making friends with some people who at this moment we are unsure of their true agendas. It is also causing a rift between Michael and Fi and I hope that Mikey gets a grip and sees that while having his old job is important he is missing out on something wonderful right in front of him. I mean what other girl will he find that keeps an extra gun in her umbrella stand just for emergencies.

Probably one of the coolest things about Burn Notice is its fan following. When the episode is over I rush to the USA message boards to read what others thought because there are fans out there even crazier then I am. They snap screen shots, watch the episode 3 and 4 times that night, they even make lists and quotes of their fave one liners of each episode. I can truly appreciate every ones enthusiasm for the show and wish I could meet such die hard fans like myself in real life. Even cooler is that the BN official website is often visited by the actual writers and producers who post on the boards and respond to peoples commentary. THAT I truly love, I mean without the fans there would be no show and I think it is awesome that the writers recognize that.

To my dismay at the end of this episode it was announced only two episodes left til the Season Finale. WHAT!!!!? First The Bachelorette and now Burn Notice is over for a few months, what am I going to do with all this free time? Maybe I should start working on losing the five pounds I gained from watching all this TV.
