James is the guy who pretty much does the same kinds of things that Michael Westen does or wants to do for pretty much the same reasons, so at the end of the day, Michael's not really fighting James this season, Michael's fighting himself, and I think there was no desire on my part to be dark for the sake of being dark, but by giving Michael an antagonist that wasn't just another bad guy, and by making the conflict really about things that were inside of Michael-I think that naturally leads to some darker places and more interesting places to me and to the actors. In fact, the person he's nominally going up against this season is somebody who turns out to basically share his perspective on the world. So this season was about presenting Michael with something new.
MATT NIX: There's an element of that, but really what drove this season for me was just this idea that if there's one question we have answered something like 110 times on Burn Notice, it's can Michael Westen defeat a bad guy by being clever and badass? And we kind of did that, right? The answer is yes, Michael Westen can defeat bad guys by being badass and clever.
