6/20/2023 0 Comments Burn notice 2017Ingeniously introducing Ben Shankman as a new potential handler for the spy with the delivery of a basket of expensive yogurt, Michael is propositioned to align himself as an operative for hire with Shankman’s Tom Strickler who describes himself as an “Agent to the Spies.” And instead, this time around Michael encounters a whole new set of challenges when he meets two different men in each half of the show’s divided Summer/Winter season who are unaffiliated with the Management group we’d met previously. Their relationship is tested as the season continues with Michael actively pursuing a way to get back into the good graces of the CIA to clear his name once and for all.Įven though it’s always a struggle to keep the tempo and plot-lines when one obstacle is pushed out of the way- as Michael realizes he no longer needs to fear being foiled by the group that burned him- admirably the shows seems to be incorporating new dilemmas in a believable way. Likewise the sexual tension building once more between Michael and Fiona is getting as sultry as the Miami heat as we see just in the first few episodes alone and to his immense credit, Nix’s vision for the action drama is wonderfully still intact. Temporarily able to stay one step ahead of her, Burn Notice begins building into far more complicated plot structures with the second and third intricately written and breathlessly paced episodes “Question & Answer” and “End Run.” Nearly right after she's introduced, she busts Fi for bounty hunting without a license, harasses everyone Michael is or has ever been associated with, drags him into the station for endless questioning in a strange interplay that hints she may be attracted to her suspect, and prompts the group to try and hastily move a stash of C4 from a storage facility before the police warrant arrives. To this end, Paxson dedicates all of her efforts to putting a stop to Michael, Fiona, and Sam’s extracurricular faux law enforcement activities. Unfortunately however, when big things go “boom,” it’s hard for the local law enforcement to look the other way and Michael finds a new nemesis in the form of a twisted “stalker with a badge,” Miami Police Detective Michelle Paxson ( Terminator Salvation’s Moon Bloodgood). When an old friend appears out of the woodwork requesting Westen’s assistance, he accepts the job despite Fiona’s suspicions which results in action galore from a high-kicking fight, a fall from a glass window, and one massive truck explosion.
