    - have you seen past seasons? - loosilu Aug 20, 19:50 5
      - sure ... but ... - JenBro Aug 20, 19:54 4
        
        but they don't have to. - loosilu Aug 20, 19:55 3
        
        I see your point - JenBro Aug 20, 20:01 1
        
        ohhhhh... I see what you mean. Haven't watched it yet, obviously. Well... - loosilu Aug 20, 20:21
        
        and the season has been in the can 6-8 months -- nm - peglegpete Aug 20, 19:58
saw my first episode of burn notice last night, and I have to say I was underwhelmed. - mafic Aug 20, 19:35 15
- I dropped that show after the first season and hardly looked back. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 20:05
- I think it's more a show that grows on you ... the characters and their quirks. -- nm - JenBro Aug 20, 19:37 5
  - if I'm around a tv when it's on, I'll watch it again. it wasn't bad, it just wasn't particularly good either. -- nm - mafic Aug 20, 19:45 4
    - I remember when I first watched it I couldn't figure out why the girl had such a mess of accents ... it took a while before I liked it. -- nm - JenBro Aug 20, 19:56 3
      - because it took one episode for the producers to figure out her Irish accent is horrible. :) -- nm - loosilu Aug 20, 19:57 2
        
        The recent ep with accents was hilarious -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Aug 20, 20:25 1
        
        the aliens one absolutely slayed me. -- nm - loosilu Aug 20, 20:25
- what ep? -- nm - loosilu Aug 20, 19:37 7
  - season 2, episode 8. -- (link) - mafic Aug 20, 19:44 6
    - It's a relatively simple plot, but I think it's still a good idea to watch it from episode 1, rather than jump in - Beryllium Aug 20, 19:54 2
      - yeah, I gathered that there was a fair bit of backstory I missed. -- nm - mafic Aug 20, 19:58 1
        
        that's a big part of it. the show has steadily gotten better, as well. This last season has been fantastic. -- nm - loosilu Aug 20, 20:22
    - hmmm, not one of the better ones. I do agree that it grows on you. -- nm - loosilu Aug 20, 19:52
    - I did find it amusing that the older brother from home improvement was in it. -- nm - mafic Aug 20, 19:48 1

        It's free for you to get a report. Probably not free for them to do it. Plus, this way you don't have to hand over your info. - loosilu Aug 20, 18:11 10
        
        He still wants the social and some basic info but thats it. And yeah this was my thought. - MDH Aug 20, 18:12 9

        Which *one*? I like that there's multiple ones now. - Dr.Vermin Aug 20, 18:38
      - he may have stumbled onto a scam where you pull your own report? -- nm - loosilu Aug 20, 18:10
  - I thought so. -- nm - the liioulu with wind Aug 20, 18:06
Nice. The TD pass to AGonzalez was a textbook Manning to Harrison pass. - Spawn Aug 20, 17:51 2
