Burn Notice - Entertainment Weekly Article

Tricia Helfer of "Battlestar Galactica" coming to Burn Notice

TV Guide reports that Tricia Helfer, who recently finished up the final season of "Battlestar Galactica" on the SciFi Network.

Helfer will play Carla, Michael's sleek, sexy and lethal "handler," who often comes across as unaffected and slightly amused by him.

"To protect the people he loves, Michael is forced to work for Carla — his only link to the people behind his burn notice." ~ Matt Nix

In the episode summaries that have already been provided, Carla has only been mentioned in the 6th episode, so we don't know when she's introduced or how many of Michael's episodes will revolve around her. None the less, she sounds like an important new character to figuring out who burned Michael. Is she the woman who was on the phone with Michael? We'll find out in one month.

Season 2 split in Two

Like many USA series, it appears that the second season of Burn Notice will be split up into two parts.
Entertainment Weekly reports that the original 12 episodes that was ordered for season 2 was expanded to 16 episodes. The first 9 episodes will be aired during the summer, with the last 7 airing in early 2009.

In my personal opinion, I don't like this. While series like Psych and Monk can handle the split better because each episode is stand alone, Burn Notice (at least for season 1) has much more of an overarching story which could be hurt by interrupting it.

None the less, more episodes is never a bad thing
