The Fall of Sam Axe episodes (1)

1 The Fall of Sam Axe
7/26/11
Season-only
Before Sam Axe teamed up with Michael and Fiona, he was Commander Axe, U.S. Navy SEAL. The Fall of Sam Axe tells the story of how Sam went from respected Naval Commander to the man of mystery we've come to know on Burn Notice. On what will turn out to be Sam's last military mission, he is sent to the jungles of Colombia to investigate claims of a vicious terrorist organization known only as the "Espada Ariente" (Flaming Sword). His mission: to determine whether U.S. military aid is necessary to deal with the threat. But when he arrives, things are more complicated than he'd imagined. He receives word that the rebels have targeted a small civilian clinic deep in the jungle. Sam must now save the clinic's doctors and patients from certain death. However, nothing is as it seems and the Espada Ardiente may not be the biggest threat Sam Axe faces.

If you haven't seen this show yet it's definitely worth your time. I've been a loyal viewer from the very beginning and have always found this show entertaining. I'm sad to see it go, but I'm very happy that they were able to end it instead of having it canceled like so many other great shows that I've invested my time/interest in. The final episode was a tear jerker for sure. A bitter sweet end to a phenomenal series.

Im 45yrs. Old & have seen a lot of t.v. shows come & go . & by far I think ( my own personal opinion), that burn notice is probably the best that I've ever have watched. The previews say the final season, unless the characters are tired of making the show ; I dont understand why you would want to cancel such a great program . I hope that you change your minds about the cancellation of 1 of the greatest if not the greatest t.v. program again ( this is my opinion only). If it is then I'll watch reruns:

Michael played the same guy every time he went incogito with the bad guys... cocky, squint-y; only ever talking with his jaw thrust forward and mouth barely open, kinda slurred and muttered like when someone is pretending to be tough. Annoying! Plot seems well thought out but needed a better male lead to pull it off - ruined it for me!
