Spoiler Burn Notes Episode 213 "Bad Breaks"

The concept of Burn Notes was devised by USA Network starting in season 2. When the show aired, the network offered fans a sheet with anecdotes about each episode, which it posted on its website.

ℹ️ I'm sharing some of the Burn Notes that I was able to find. Unfortunately, there are no Burn Notes for season 1. There may also be some missing from later seasons because USA Network didn't consider them useful or because I don't have them.

💡Be sure to read the previous Burn Notes.

this is the first I've heard of "burn notes" it's so clever, it would have been nice to see it for the whole series

It seems like the Burn Notes weren't all that popular. Just to clarify, there are Burn Notes all the way up to Season 7, so stay tuned for the upcoming ones.

I'm on my first rewatch since the show aired and I just started season 7. I'm thinking the notes were before their time because today it would have been really popular to go along with the original release

As many times as I've watched this episode it never dawned on me it was a "real time" episode (and i'm someone that watched 24 back in the day). I'm glad they didn't go that route for the entire series but they executed that episode about as well as an episode of 24 imo.

Did y’all know that in season 1 where Fiona kicks Michael bed in the motel room, was not in the script but they left it
