Series finale of Burn Notice is tomorrow night.

Season 7 has been excellent, and I'm really curious how they're going to end it. Word is at least one main character will meet their end in the finale.

No matter who lives or dies, we won't see these characters again. I'll miss Bruce Campbell having a regular spot on television...

Somebody should die, yeah.

If Michael dies, Sam has to live. He's a survivor, and Michael Weston could be the latest in a string of friends he's lost in the line of duty.

If Michael lives, Fi or (probably and!) his mom have to die.

I'm on the fence about Jesse. I could watch a spinoff with Sam and Jesse getting into trouble like the earlier seasons. But he seems like a likely target, too.

I used to like this series until it devolved into a constant shouting match between the regulars.

Great finale, and I can't say any more yet.

Whoa, I didn't even know season 7 was in progress. I was really unhappy with season 6 in general, especially with how it ended. Is S07 a good recovery from it?

Yes. Season 7 is much better, and much darker.

I can't say much, but the very last sentence spoken in the series ties the whole thing together beautifully.

Oh wait, so by "final" in the thread title, that means the show is done?

I quit watching part way through season 6, it just got too far off track for me, I guess I'll go back and pick up where I left off so I can watch season 7.

I finished it. That season was way better than 6, but it still didn't feel like the seasons 1-5.

Spoiler:
The ending was decent, but his flip-flop just didn't sit well with me - it was too quick and made him seem more wishy-washy than calculating and deliberate.

Glad his mom died though. She was wholly annoying to me. One minute she's a strong woman. The next she's completely irrational and incapable of seeing an end game. Menopause maybe?

got caught up finally. The ending was decent, but I am still sticking to my contention that we would have been better off if we had just ended with Mike literally and figuratively coming in out of the cold.
