On the "why Michael wants back in" question, I think it has more to do with Michael believing (perhaps rightly, perhaps not) that in the Company what he did was important on a larger scale. And if you truly care about me, you should damn well want for me what I want for myself. So no, getting back in isn’t just a way to survive, to protect the people I love, it’s what I want. It’s what my old job gave me a chance to do every single day. This job, what we just did, saving American lives, this is the type of work I was made for, Fi. I don’t want to keep ducking this so let me be straight with you. We both see the world a certain way and we both have skills to make it a better place. You might disagree with his self-assessment and believe there is some other underlying reason, but he was pretty convinced and convincing: However, Michael most *certainly* said last night why he wants back in. I don't agree with your assessment that the show is less or more interesting depending on the course of the overarching mythology, though I enjoy that aspect of the show, but that's a matter of preference and temperament. I like the clients of the week (and the catchy subtitles) as much as the next guy, but if they become the focus of the show, it's going to get a lot less interesting. To me, for the show's premise to hold up, Mike needs a new, worthy adversary that will force him, against his will, to work for Management.and answer some of the questions remaining from the first season.who was the passenger on the ferry they were trying to kill? Who are the factions that Cowan alluded to just before he was shot? What's the bigger game that Mike has become involved in by virtue of being burned? To get at this stuff he needs some powerful motivation, which means that Sam, Fi, Nate or Mike's mom have got to be put into some serious jeopardy. I really can't decide if the writers are starting to lose sight of show's central premise or not.so far, they haven't had Mike come out and say what, in my view, may be his strongest, and in the end, maybe his only true motive for getting "unburned" - that being a spy is the only life he's ever known.Īlso, if they are going to make Mangagement's threat of bringing Michael's world down around him in flames because he no longer has their protection, they better turn the heat up pretty fast, because so far, they haven't done much except put one mediocre cop onto him and give Sam some "tax problems" that were resolved rather clumsily. He's integral to the story but he doesn't try to overshadow or outdo the real star (Westen/Donovan). Many times I think he's not, e.g., getting his dopey brother out of a mess, or helping one of his mother's friends.Īnd Bruce Campbell is great. In most ep.s he's helping someone "The client" and we don't always know if he's getting paid. I don't see him as someone who uses people to get what he wants. True, it's not what Fi wants but he's not stringing her along, he's telling her "this is how it is, you can decide if it will work for you or not." It may seem to some that he's being cold, but I see it as him being honest. I'm not that bothered by the Fi/Michael stuff. I was waiting for something to happen around a special guest star, but then I looked in imdb and saw it was just a regular actor's name.Īnyway, I thought the ep was fun. Donovan saying in an interview that his character was named after a real spy. I didn't know that was an actor's name (I also didn't know the spelling of Michael Westen, the BN character) - although I've seen that actor in shows before I didn't know his name.
When I first saw "Guest Starring Michael Weston", I didn't know what to expect.
