Burn Notice Interview with Executive Producer Matt Nix About 100th Episode "Forget Me Not"

After last Thursday's intense Burn Notice premiere, it's difficult to believe that another episode could top it, but tonight's does just that. In the 100th episode of the series, "Forget Me Not," Michael is forced to face the life and loved ones that he left behind.

I spoke with Burn Notice's Creator and Executive Producer Matt Nix this week about season 7 and reaching the milestone 100th episode. Read on for the first part of the edited interview and check back Friday for his thoughts on the aftermath of the heartbreaking episode,"Forget Me Not."

Suits Season 2 Finale Review: "War"

On the Suits finale, the war for the firm was on. Jessica on one side with Edward's support for their firms to merge and Harvey on the other side. Bets were placed that would guaranteed that there would be no winners.

"War" was practically mutually assured destruction. Even though no one died, relationships were destroyed that will be difficult to repair. Harvey brought lawsuits against Edward's clients and the first attack was launched.

If Harvey won, then Edward would go away and the merger would be off. If Harvey lost, he would work for the newly merged firm with an extended non-compete contract, all without his name on the door. Ouch.
