Killing beloved characters on a TV show is always risky. It can invoke the ire of loyal fans, but it can also be the catalyst to propel a story forward. BURN NOTICE was always premised on a CIA agent getting “burned” and then stuck in Miami with his mother and his ex-girlfriend. Fortunately, in the six seasons since that pivotal moment, BURN NOTICE found a way to make Miami “home” for Michael and its avid audience. The escapades of Michael, Fiona and Sam, which later included Madeline and Jesse, has made the show like family for viewers. We cheered as they championed the little guy getting kicked around and saved countless lives. We also rooted for Michael as he fought valiantly to clear his name and make the responsible parties pay for his predicament. And we fell in love with Michael and Fiona and their blossoming relationship.
Throughout all the adventures, there was always a strong undercurrent of love and family. So when one of the family is struck down, it is a blow to the gut as well as the heart. In last week’s heart-breaking episode, Michael’s brother Nate was caught in the crossfire. It was the loss of part of our BURN NOTICE family and we mourn for Michael’s loss. In a recent conference call, creator and producer Matt Nix talked about the decision to take the show to such a dark place and make such a sacrifice so close to home. [Read more…]
