Back to the show at hand, though. What I don't understand about Burn Notice is the yogurt. In every episode, there's yogurt. Michael eats yogurt, his not-a-girlfriend Fiona eats yogurt, his buddy Sam talks about eating yogurt. Maybe I just missed the moment where they explained it all, but I don't think so. All I know is that there's always yogurt. I hear that Psych always has a pineapple in it, maybe all the USA original series do a similar thing.

There is one huge fear I have for the series, it's a fear that crops up all too often for me with shows that I enjoy. I worry that the producers don't know the endgame. What if the producers don't have an answer for why Michael was burned? What if they're making it up as they go along? It's absolutely possible to create a series like this and have it be wonderful and not have the ending figured out… it's just more difficult. It's too easy to lose your credibility by coming up with some ridiculous machinations and thereby lose the audience if you don't know where you're going.

Too many shows have gone down that route, and I'd rather not see it happen to Burn Notice too. Some might argue that for Burn Notice to go down that route would be the perfect way for this type of spin on the spy tale to end, or not end as it were. That actually makes some sense, but I'd still rather not see it happen.
