Can't wait for the new season! Promos look good.

There was a fan vote for the opening titles and you can see the two potential openings here. I voted for the updated version of the current opening .

Mr E

I hope Jere Burns is around for a bit longer.

Fiona will not be getting out of prison anytime soon. Series creator and executive producer Matt Nix is just having too much fun.
"We don't get her out in the first episode. We don't get her out in the second episode and we don't get her out in the third episode," Nix tells TVGuide.com with a laugh. (It is too late for a spoiler alert?) "It's fun just to see Fiona in prison. Obviously, she's not an average prisoner, and prison is not a safe place to be. She's got her own set of challenges and her own set of characters."
Yes, it's goodbye designer duds and hello orange jumpsuit when the new season of Burn Notice premieres on Thursday at 9/8c on USA. Season 6 picks up right after Fi (Gabrielle Anwar) turned herself into the authorities for bombing the British Consulate to stop Anson (Jere Burns) from blackmailing Michael (Jeffrey Donovan). "It's not like anything we've done before to have an entire story line that takes place separately from the main story line," Nix says. "Obviously, there are still some interactions and everybody's concerned with her being in prison and trying to deal with that situation."
This includes Michael, who obviously won't take Fiona's decision lightly, as seen in this exclusive sneak peek:

"It also gives us an interesting place to start the season, because Michael very nearly compromised himself completely for the sake of getting Fiona out of prison," Nix says. "Going into this season, he really wants to get her back, but that is not an easy thing."
Michael's season-long quest to break his jailbird love free means less time for clients of the week and a larger step away from procedural, stand-alone episodes for the action drama. "This year is going to be a lot more serialized, a lot bigger because everything is impacting the main characters directly," Nix says. "I think everybody was feeling the same thing, between us and the network. For better or for worse, it's a whole new ball game this year."
Nix says the move has been a goal of his, and with the series about to hit 99 episodes at the end of Season 6, the timing finally felt right. "At a certain point you realize, 'We've now done all the possible variations on this kind of story. What can I do now that's exciting and interesting and feels fresh?'" he says. "The answer, for me, is that it has to do more with the main characters, the specifics of their situation and their emotional lives. Those things can be fresh and different in all sorts of ways because it's not all driven by the client."
It's also more rewarding for the show's many longtime devoted fans. "For years, we've heard people say that they like those episodes that really focus on the main characters and on those ongoing stories," Nix says. "So we've really been listening and running directly at that."
Burn Notice's more serialized narrative means fans can expect more recurring characters than ever before, "and not by a little — by a lot," Nix teases. This includes new additions like Michael's old CIA training officer Tom Card (John C. McGinley) and Nicole ( Taryn Manning), a fellow inmate at Fiona's prison. This also includes familiar faces such as the return of Michael's brother, Nate (Seth Peterson), and last season's major antagonist, Anson. "You do various things for story reasons and then you wake up one day and realize, these big bads keep disappearing at the end of the season," Nix says. "It was a very conscious decision to say at the end of this season, 'The big bad is not ultimately defeated; we're carrying this over.'"

New season starts tonight

Mr E

Fantastic start to the season - I was on the edge of my seat. It really felt like a couple of the regulars weren't going to make it (especially at end of the chemical plant section).

This has the makings of a great season.

Oat23

I was about to turn off my TV at the chemical plant part you mentioned Mr E . Especially after I read an interview with Jeffrey Donovan where he gave away a bit of a spoiler about this season...If you want to know it you can see it here (no names mentioned).

Great episode to start it off. I wonder if Bly is back just for the first episode or will he be in it a while? He is my favourite of all the enemies the past 5 seasons. He was such a dick to Michael in season 1!

The Don

What a fantastic episode! It looks like it's going to be a great season

I only got around to watching the first episode after the weekend and one of the guys told me someone dies . I was on the edge of my seat at the chemical plant at the end. Thanks god my friend was only talking about that security guard .

I love the new opening shots for Bruce too

Death Spoiler

Mr E

Another solid episode last night. Looks like next week is a biggie.

Based on Liz's link above, it can only really be

Nate

, which is a bit of a cop out, tbh. I'd love to be surprised by someone else, though...

Mr E

Sigh.

Good episode though, even though I'm not sure I understand how Fi got out.

So who is Anson's boss?

FreudianSlippers

IDK why they had to kill anyone? It just seemed forced for a show like Burn Notice tbh.

gaelicred

Great episode maybe michael will go off the rails wouldn't be surprised if he got someone killed

ixoy

Thankfully I didn't even notice there was an upcoming death - I'd hate to have seen that post. Still, it wasn't shocking that it was Nate who is a character I've generally liked.

Because if they hadn't, then there would be no goal for Michael. He'd have been employed again with no threat or anything hanging over his shoulder if he had just handed Anson over. The organisation that had burnt him was dismantled and he'd have been the last one left.
Now there's a new motivation for him and a new story arc. Anson was a great villain but at least we've still got him in "Justified".

Mr E

Good finale, if not a little predictable. The first time we met Card, I thought "Hmmm.... I bet he'll turn out to be the bad guy." Surprise!

gaelicred

Bloody annoying its not back till november

FreudianSlippers

I dunno. I love Burn Notice, but I'm getting a bit sick of the whole "this is our last mission..." TWIST!
Card wanting to kill Michael just makes zero sense; that is, unless someone is pulling Card's strings - and even then... the Card backstory and history with Michael doesn't fit the current storyline.

The whole thing is starting to feel really forced.

Burn Notice has been renewed for a new and shorter 13 episode season, per Deadline: http://www.deadline.com/2012/11/fairly-legal-cancelled-usa-network-burn-notice-pickup-near/

kaimera

yay!

Is BN back tonight or when in Nov?

Mr E

Double episode next week.

aine1980

great news, glad this one is coming back

JP Liz V1

Back tonight with a double episode

in which Michael has to escape from a sadistic drug runner before he and the
team can flee Panama

kaimera

ah yea.

Liked ep11.

And loved the ending of ep12.

good to have you back Mike

Brendan Flowers

Someone should remind Madeline that she has a grandson!

FreudianSlippers

I love Burn Notice, but I'm getting a bit bored. It's so formulaic now at this stage that you can almost guarantee what will happen next

kaimera

s06 over!

bit slow the double ending...but i liked it by the end.

shame on you mike, i had to check online if there was another season coming (and there is)

I wonder what you did...

Mr E

I wasn't crazy about it. When I saw that Matt Nix (the showrunner) had written and directed the 2nd half of the finale, I was expecting a fantastic ending, but I was let down. Hell, I think the Nate ending and the Tom Card endings were better earlier this season.

So I'm guessing he is back in the CIA (again), but higher up the food chain? Yawn.

FreudianSlippers

I'm not really sure where they're going to go next season. I was a little let down by the ending, but I have a feeling they'll burn Michael again lol

ixoy

Poor way to end by having Riley become corrupt. It seemed a cheap get-out clause.
Should have done something edgier. Hell let Sam die and have Michael go completely nuts! Something a bit different.

The 6th season of Burn Notice will receive it's UK premiere on FOX UK on Monday June 17th at 9pm

Decided that with this season being the last I'd watch the show from the start and have spend the summer tearing through the 99 episodes on Netflix. Just after watching episode 6 of season 6 and genuinelly shocked that the show killed off a somewhat main character. I actually expected Nate to die a few seasons back but as he became more integral to the story and Michael's redemption I never thought that they would kill him off. It's really impressive how the show has gone from an easy to watch time killer to one of the most consistantly entertaining and adult dramas around. It's still light entertainment but it's far superior to quite a lot of the more "grown up" dramas on and the manner in which it tells an ongoing story over multiple seasons is brilliantly done.

Loving how series 6 is playing out. The fall out from Nate's death is really well handled and it's nice to see Maddie get a few small scenes of her own. The analogy of the broken bottles was one of the shows more powerful moments and demonstratrs just how well the show can mix the heavy with the light.
