Burn Notice - 4.02 Fast Friends

Michael wants to bring the operative he burned, Jesse Porter, into his investigation. Madeline intends to rent out her garage.

I liked the interaction between Jesse and the gang.

Eight out of ten.

Sanctuary - 1.11 Instinct

The team hunts an abnormal in a warehouse while in the company of a local TV reporter and camera man before the police arrive.

It evokes memories of the movie Cloverfield with the hand-held video style and the heard but never seen camera man providing commentary. The episode reaches a typical end with the camera man's death and the team destroying/obtaining the footage.

Seven out of ten.

Notes

Doctor Who - R1.05 World War Three

Rose and the Doctor battle the Slitheen at 10 Downing Street.

Notes

  • Taking power to gain access to Britain's nuclear weapons
  • The Doctor was always able to escape the cabinet room but method is risky to those inside.
  • The Doctor offers to take Mickey and Mickey refuses

The Slitheen are rather silly looking.

  • Harriet Jones is introduced.
