Just wanted everyone to know that a Bruce Campbell sighting (he portrayed eccentric director William Roberts) was the only reason why I watched this “what if?” production.

Now down to business.

November 22, 1963.

Some say that the events that transpired in Dallas, Texas not only marked the end of the campaign of President Kennedy and devastated a nation, but also brought forth (among other things) the uncontested advancement of United States troops on Vietnam soil.

In 92 minutes, Director and Writer Robert Dyke explores just that possibility, “What if President John Fitzgerald Kennedy had not died on that sunny afternoon in 1963?” A non-linear roller coaster follows with stops through time in the 60’s, 70’s, 90’s, 2000, and 2001. It’s quite an adventure (and a story…if this is your line of interest), filled with riveting details that is sure to discourage bathroom breaks—least you would be willing to forgo chunks of important information that piece this whole production together.

Bruce Campbell is Sam Axe.

Sam Axe is Bruce Campbell.

For that reason alone, I would watch Burn Notice.

It was a bonus that I loved the pilot as well.

Pilot Episode

Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) doesn’t really work for the CIA, but for all intents and purposes Westen is a spy.

He holds two black belts; is proficient with guns; and has been disavowed by the U.S. Government.

A daring escape and bullet wound later,  Westen wakes up in his old stomping grounds of Miami, Florida and tries to put his life back together with the convenient help of his ex-girlfriend Fiona Glenanne (Gabrielle Anwar) and retired CIA Agent Sam Axe (Bruce Campbell of Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, and Spider-Man fame).

Westen then realizes that he needs income to find out why he was given a “burn notice” (disavowed) and ends up using his skills as an undercover operative to help those in need.
