![]() In fact, the person he's nominally going up against this season is somebody who turns out to basically share his perspective on the world. So this season was about presenting Michael with something new. Leave a note and tell us where what direction Burn Notice will take when it returns in the winter.MATT NIX: There's an element of that, but really what drove this season for me was just this idea that if there's one question we have answered something like 110 times on Burn Notice, it's can Michael Westen defeat a bad guy by being clever and badass? And we kind of did that, right? The answer is yes, Michael Westen can defeat bad guys by being badass and clever. ![]() That’s only two months away, we can handle it! In the meantime, tell us what you think about the summer finale. The second half of the season returns in November on USA Network, or Superchannel for those watching in Canada. The wait to see what happens next isn’t going to be that long. Whether or not Michael has ‘burned’ his bridges with the CIA again remains to be seen. I’m sure once they sneak out of the country and back into the US, Michael is bound to hunt Card down and look for answers. Trapped in Central America with zero support and assumed dead after a failed air strike, Michael along with Fiona, Sam and Jesse are stranded in Panama with no support or way out. Will Westin still be in good with the CIA or will he get burned again, this time permanently? Was he afraid that information about his work would embarrass the agency, or was he afraid the Anson would rat him out as an accomplice? It’s a question I’m sure Westin is going to ask Card in the second half of the season and I’m curious to see where they are going to take this storyline. I can’t help but wonder why Card wanted Anson dead. It’s fairly obvious that he was the man responsible for sending the trigger man to shoot Anson, which also resulted in Nate’s death too. With the conclusion of the Anson storyline, someone had to fill in as the bad man behind the curtain… and now it’s Michael’s mentor within the CIA. Tom Card: A new villain or was Michael’s mentor one of the men responsible for his Burn Notice? Instead, Michael was too preoccupied with vengeance to learn Card’s true intentions: he wanted Michael and his people dead. Card was offering the world to Michael and not asking for anything in return, and that should have been a red flag to the burned spy. When Card offered Michael and his people permission to go to Panama and take out the man who allegedly killed his brother, it seemed and was too good to be true. He seemed to have more going on than we or Michael ever suspected. This led Westin to work with the one person who he should have never considered doing business with: his old training officer and mentor in the CIA, Tom Card. Westin didn’t listen to people who asked him to slow down and not work with certain people and he refused as he was desperate to get closer to his objective. You could tell the closer Michael got to the man who pulled the trigger, the bigger the risk he was willing to take to get his man. ![]() Michael became obsessed with finding the man who pulled the trigger and didn’t care what he did and who he worked with to get the answers he wanted. ![]() When Nate died, the direction of the show changed radically. ![]() It made for a stunning summer finale, leaving fans wanting more. The summer finale ended with Michael and company stranded in Central America, on their own and with a new enemy that will go to great lengths to kill them. Michael had become so obsessed with finding his brother’s killer that it almost cost him and his friends their lives. The man doing the set up might have possible ties with the people who put out the Burn Notice on Michael but how much of a connection is unknown at this time. Still coming off the shocking death of Michael’s brother Nate and the hunt to find his killer, our heroes took their eye off the ball and were unaware they were being set up. Going into their summer mid-season finale, Burn Notice had good momentum. ![]()
