Burn Notice - Season Finale Tonight!!
 Posted

Two weeks ago I told you I was expecting huge things from the Burn Notice season finale. The second half of the season hadn't been all too exciting, which in my mind meant things had to get really big for those final two episodes. Last week, I was completely blown away by how intense the hour got.
First off, I want to say that I'm glad Gilroy is dead. It's also great that Michael wasn't the one to kill him, which I would've been completely okay with, but having him be a victim of his own ridiculous scheme was perfect. This is why you don't go into business for crazed psychopathic killers. They tend to be crazy and kill you.
The secondary story, which usually holds a main chunk of the "How are they going to pull it all off?" not only included information on Fiona and the death of her sister, but had some of the most tense moments of the season. With Michael standing across a marina, forced to watch Fiona struggle to keep herself from being shot by a man who didn't think he could trust her anymore, it had me breathing a huge sigh of relief when the gun was finally lowered. The emotional impact of the scene was amazing as well, and Gabrielle Anwar was phenomenal.
Before last weeks episode I did get a chance to take part in a call with both the stars of the series. They were doing some press in New York, took some of their time and talked to the press for an hour. During the call, we learned a few of the things that go on behind the scenes, as well as a few personal favorites from the actors themselves. Gabrielle herself mentioned how the episode that aired last week was her most memorable to perform in.
"I actually had a much greater significance in the storyline for this particular episode, so I got a taste of what Jeffrey has to contend with on a daily basis, and I was absolutely bloody exhausted. So it was memorable, because I just had to work really hard for once." - Gabrielle Anwar
Now we're looking to tonight's episode which is the season finale. Generally speaking, the last two season finales have been ones that leave us wondering, how can they possibly leave us at this moment? End of the first season left Michael in the back trailer of a semi truck moving down the expressway. When we left Michael at the end of the second season, he was jumping out of a helicopter into the ocean. Tonight's episode promises to be the start to a new chapter in Michael Westen's life.
Jeffrey Donovan told us on the call that the last five minutes of the show are going to be key for the start of next season.
"It's the season finale, and it's really literally in the last five minutes of the show. It's a bit of a cliffhanger. Michael's been stuck in Miami for quite some time, and there's a couple of psychopaths on his tail, and things come to a hilt. And by the end of the show, Michael is actually transported out of Miami, but I can't tell you where, but it's a bit of a cliffhanger." - Jeffrey Donovan
Check out this clip from tonight's episode to give you a look at just how intense this hour is going to be.
Those of you who are curious as to what exactly is planned for tonight, I can tell you this much. Simon is a very dangerous man. Simon is a world class terrorist who has now been unleashed onto Miami. He hand picked Michael for whatever reason that is and after what seems like a near six episode set up to tonight's episode, we're about to find out exactly what Simon has in store for Michael. From the clips and promotional spots that I've been seeing around the internet and on other USA shows, it seems that no one Michael cares about is going to be safe.
Make sure you tune in tonight, set your DVRs or watch it live - but tonight things are going to happen and if the history of Burn Notice Finale's is anything to go by, it's going to be explosive. Matt Nix, the showrunner, even boasts that they blew up a real helicopter for the episode.
