don't you just LOVE the relationships?
His relationship w/his Mom, so much past baggage...
so much pain on his part and denial on his Mom's part...
very few shows even think of going there (how childhood abuse nurtures a competent spy!) - it is funny and real...
Oh man, and I REALLY love the relationship w/Fiona! She is practically insane w/the love of violence thing... while he is pretty much a paranoid loner with a lot of charm, it makes for a lot of heat in their relationship but it makes perfect sense that neither one of them will ever make each other (or anyone else) happy...
in the commentary the creator said that in other shows (like Moonlighting and X-files) they worried about having the leads hook up, and they were right: it sucked the sexual tension out of the relationship. But he said "I know people like that, they sleep together all the time, and it never helps anything... it just makes things worse" ! LOL
I really love this show!

Quote:They're handling it exquisitely IMO. It's very fresh.

I can't believe they're making this show work on such a limited budget; it must make the producers work hard to be creative (hint, George Lucas
).CIA

Quote:That's an interesting thing to note- do YOU see a breakdown (momentary, of course) in his future, you know, like spontaneously crying into his Mom's shoulder after a particularly harrowing rescue of her or something?

He seems to have forced a lot into a box, emotionally speaking...

no, I don't see any easy answers or break throughs...
he was raised to be a paranoid loner, and he has a job that reinforces that that is all that works...
it is why he can't connect w/Fiona (well... and also she is violent psychotic and kinda unstable...)
I don't think Michael will ever let down his barriers...
and I don't think his Mom will ever really get past her 'denial' (where she remembers her children's abuse as though it was spending quality time with their Dad!)
I'm pretty much thinking that this show isn't about happy endings.
But we shall see!

But I don't see this series taking the Joss route that way...it's somewhat lighter than that...I mean, when Sam took that beating and still cracked wise...c'mon, he would have been crying like a bitchy little girl in real life, WITH a broken jaw, most probably...I like the fine line between drama & comedy in it...for REAL spy TV I'll watch Smiley's stuff.

Michael is definitely wrapped a bit tight. If he does suffer a break I think it would be more interesting if he lost his cool and went all mad dog. He's so calm most of the time, even when committing violent acts, that it would be interesting to see him lash out, perhaps at one of his comrades. Imagine how Fiona or Sam would react to Michael taking a shot at one of them.
As far as happy endings go I get the feeling something bad is on the horizon. It would not surprise me if Michael's new employers make an example of someone close to him before season's end. The most likely candidate has to be his brother. I just can't see the writers messing with Fiona, Sam, or mom. There just aren't enough characters for them to pull a Joss.
