OHMYGOSH!
That was so intense. From the moment in started I had no clue how they were going to wrap it up in an hour and I still feel it was a bit rushed. I am so sad Maddie died. I am a sap and I wish after allll of the crap they have been through that they all would have had a happy ending.
I can't believe they were able to tie everything up in an hour. I thought it was going to be a 2-hour finale. As much as the show has annoyed me these past few seasons, I'm kind of sad that it's done. I appreciated the nod to the intro we heard throughout the years-- "My name is Michael Westen..." and Sam's line about spies being "bitchy little girls."
I was also surprised it was a 1 hr finale. I really like the way it was all wrapped up and how they threw in a few things from the beginning. I did not expect Maddie to die and had tears streaming down my face. Overall I like that the series didn't get too crazy over the years and that they went out on their own terms.

And Fiona saying, "Should we shoot them?"
I'm so bummed about Maddy.
I hadn't read any spoilers, but based on the rumors about Sam and Jesse getting a spin off, the unlikeliness of them killing off Michael and Fi, and Jeffery Donavan's interview where he said it was a main character who was going to die who was with them from the beginning (and that it wasn't him) by process of elimination I knew it had to be her. Poor Maddy.

They kept saying *nothing can prepare them for this finale* so when they panned to the funeral of Michael and Fi I was like...OH HELL FREAKING NO. I panicked like mad. What ticks me of though is Maddie's sacrifice didn't increase Michaels chances of making it. He still had to battle it out. No matter what. I think Jesse and Maddie could have taken those guys without her having to die. It makes me really sad that they couldn't get through all of this and for them to have a happy ending. After all they have been through I thought Maddie and Michael deserved a nice relationship. =( It was so sad. Charlie is gonna be traumatized. Good grief.
I like that Fiona sayd "should we shoot them" and Sam said "Bunch of bitchy little girls" and they wrapped it up with him saying the spy bit from the beginning. I do wish Jesse would have been a bigger part of the action.

Matt Nix just did an interview saying the spin off is just rumors and right now nobody is in talks for a spin off, but that he would be open to something like that in the future of USA was interested.
I'm kinda pissed they killed Maddie off. Yeah, Michael and Fiona go running out of the exploding building, but she has to sacrifice herself for what? A couple of guys Jesse could have taken out if the writers didn't give the fuck up.

YES!!!! I Don't feel like her *sacrifIce* have michael a second chance. Guh. So stupid. I read an interview with Sharon and she said it made sense to kill her off and I say...no. just no.

I was not ready for Burn Notice to end, but I felt that the series finally was satisfying. I liked all of the quotes and references to the pilot and the opening at the beginning of each and every episode. I like how they ended it with Michael and Fi together (and her Miami snow globe) and that they left a possible opening for a spinoff with Jesse and Sam. I was so sad about Maddie. I loved her character! So sad it's over, but feel that it ended as well as possible.
