Why burn notice ending

The idea is they to some extent have left that behind. Was it your idea to come full circle and give that little nod? NIX: If you go through the episode, everybody gets a nod like that, with saying their little lines from the intro at the top of the episode.

So if you look closely, Madeline has her moments where she echoes her lines, Michael has his, Jesse has his, Fiona has hers. EW: Tell me what it was like personally filming this final installment. Seven seasons is a long time. One nice thing about ending a series is it takes so long to make an episode that you do have a lot of opportunities to say goodbye and people give a lot of speeches.

EW: Is Burn Notice really gone? To me, this feels like a franchise that could pump out a TV movie from time to time, like The Fall of Sam Axe one that you already did. NIX: I would love to do that. I totally think it could. So yeah, if we could get something like that going, I would love to do it. It would have to be something that made sense dramatically.

We all did. But I'm so proud of the man you are," Madeline tells him. Madeline says goodbye to Charlie and Jesse. Now it's just her waiting in the living room for James' operatives to enter. While she waits, Michael, Sam and Fiona decide to make a move. Fiona and Michael come out and James' men are pointing guns at them.

They continue to walk closer to James when Fiona says, "Should we shoot them? Fiona and Michael grab guns from each other's waistbands and start shooting at James and his men.

This leads James to order his men to kill Madeline and Charlie. James' men move in. Two go around the house while the rest enter the front. Madeline is waiting for them in the living room smoking a cigarette. The men enter and Madeline says, "This one's for my boys. Jesse, who was hiding out in a bathroom with Charlie, kills the two men who were trying to enter the back of the house.

Back at the abandoned building, Fiona and Michael kill the rest of James' men. That leaves Fi and Mike against James.

Michael wounds James and closes in. But James pulls out a dead man's switch. He lets go of the switch and the explosives start to go off in the building. Sam escapes, but the fate of Fiona and Michael is unknown. It appears they have died in the explosion. One of the final scenes is at Langley, where the CIA headquarters is located.

Jesse and Sam are in Strong's office. Strong informs them that because of their work, they were able to track down several operatives working for James who were planning to do a lot of damage.

When Strong suggests that they might not have a lot of fans at Langley, Sam responds with another classic Burn Notice line: "You know spies Nothing like a little Burn Notice humor. Strong calls Jesse and Sam "the heroes of this op. Strong adds at the end that Michael will get a star on the memorial wall downstairs. Sam thanks Strong and he leaves with Jesse. The setting shifts to a cemetery, where the funeral for Fiona and Michael is being held.

It appears our fears were right: Both died in the explosion. But then Jesse and Sam start having a conversation saying they "missed a good funeral. They made it out just in time, so they didn't die in the explosion. Jesse and Sam wonder where Fiona and Michael ended up.

The finale's final scene is in Ireland. Charlie falls asleep on the couch with Michael. As he sleeps, Michael asks Fiona what he should tell Charlie about Michael when he gets older. Fiona says Michael should tell him the truth. But if you're reading this, you probably read so many arguments ab…. Michael is unsure of how to spell out everything that happened but Fiona gives him the perfect one-liner, to begin with. It played at the very beginning of every episode, always seemingly directed towards the audience as a form of direct exposition.

Reasonably speaking, it would make sense. Perhaps all of the random dialogue was pulled from conversations between Michael and Charlie? Fiona emphasized how important it would be to tell their surrogate son the truth—maybe Mike took her advice to heart.

Theories aside, Michael giving Charlie a first-hand account of his adventures might have set up an additional arc in the series. There could be a nugget of truth to our theory, or maybe not. Either way, Michael, Fiona, and Charlie starting another adventure together would be the reunion many fans have been asking for. Would you be up in for a Burn Notice continuation? Let us know in the comments section below. It was like a perfect little family.

Entertainment Weekly's Dalton Ross thinks they went back to Ireland, where they first fell in love. Is this a sign of a possible spin-off series? EW spoke with series creator Matt Nix about the show's ending, and the message he was trying to convey. Is it worth loving people? Is it worth having a family? And I think the answer that the episode gives is definitively yes," Nix said.
