"Burn Notice" TV show storyline - LotusTalk

Cardinal · 07-26-2009, 07:45 PM

The other night I was watching the show "Burn Notice" which is a pretty good show. It's about a spy who was "burned" by his employers for whatever reason. Anyway, the storyline was about a "Lotus" that was purchased on the black market, and subsequently stolen. The funny part was when they said "We traced the car's numbers, and found that it could have only been built at one of two factories in Italy."

Seriously, if you're writing a script for TV, just do a little research.

Getting?

it was always lame, even from when in the first episode Fiona had a bad Irish accent, and then it was just so quickly wiped over that she now has an american accent, by her saying that she has to try fit in.

but i still watch it, i love Miami, love seeing the place and the hot girls they use as extras

I love the show.

Any show with Bruce Campbell in it has to be a B-grade classic.

I'm sorry to say, if Fiona is the sidekick chick, she's not very appealing... not that she's unattractive, but she acts as if she's WAY hotter than she really is. It's like she's too good for ANYTHING... which is a bit unattractive.

Horrible show, yet I keep watching.

Saw this one, too! Thought it was funny that for a black market exotic, they would say a Lotus! Hope he got a lot off since we all know that the cars are relatively cheap for the exotic relm.

He's a super spy and strategist but someone can easily break into his loft undetected and plant explosives in his doorway. A spy, or ex-spy would want to blend in, not drive around in a rare 1971 Dodge Charger R/T. He is pursued by a female model slash/ police detective.

Stupid. Silly. I watch it for the grade A visual effects and cartoonish characters.

If anyone watches Burn Notice to get a realistic depiction of CIA spies you'll never appreciate the cleverness, humor, or cinematography of the show. Just relax and enjoy...

I come to the states about once a year, but never seem to make it to South Beach (only once so far) but it was like a 50 cent video clip the second i rocked up on Ocean Drive or on Collins

but i live on the Gold Coast in Australia, much of the same, just a little smaller,
