Sanctuary

10/9c Syfy

It would be silly to go through all the trouble of establishing a hidden city without installing some hard-core security measures to make sure your secret burg stays off the maps. Unfortunately, for Magnus and Co., those security measures are of the deadly variety. The team goes to Tibet in the mid-season finale in a bid to find a cure for Magnus' illness...and her father.

Burn Notice: AV Club - Matt Nix Interview

Interview

Matt Nix

by Chris Kompanek December 16, 2010

As a self-professed geek, Matt Nix is extremely interested in how things work. Prior to Burn Notice and his short-lived retro buddy-cop show The Good Guys, Nix made a few short films, one of which caught the eye of a former intelligence operative Michael Wilson. They became friends, and Burn Notice evolved from a desire to set the record straight about what it’s like to be a spy and demystify the gadgets and techniques of the trade. The show, which wraps up its fourth season tonight, focuses on recently “burned” spy Michael Weston, who’s dropped back into his hometown of Miami after 10 years of covert life abroad. He divides his time between investigating who burned him and taking on private-eye work to make some extra cash, along with ex-Navy SEAL buddy Sam Axe (Bruce Campbell) and ex-girlfriend Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar), who has a knack for blowing things up. The A.V. Club recently spoke with Nix about the evolution of the show, the prequel he’s in the process of writing, and why Michael Weston eats so much damn yogurt.


... The A.V. Club: How did the idea for Burn Notice evolve?

Matt Nix: I’d known a guy named Michael Wilson for a long time, who is a consultant on the show and has a background in private intelligence. My conversations with him had sparked an idea for a show about private intelligence consulting firms, which I thought was sort of an interesting arena. Then I realized over the course of thinking about that idea that I was really more interested in who spies were as people than I was about writings stories about people running around the world doing spy things. That evolved into an idea where we kind of take the espionage out of the spy, if you will. I had heard about this thing called a “burn notice,” and it seemed like an interesting way to take a spy, clip his wings, and make him use all of the things that made him a spy in a non-espionage context. That allowed me to explore the stuff that I was interested in without having to build fake sets of Turkey and pass-coded messages.

AVC: To what extent is Michael Weston based on Michael Wilson?

MN: There are aspects of Michael Weston that are inspired [by Wilson], but he’s also a combination of many influences. There are certainly aspects of Michael’s character inspired by that, but other aspects that are drawn from other sources or from my head or heads of other writers. Or indeed, from Michael Wilson’s head. The character’s not meant to be him.

Bones' Emily Deschanel

Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz

IN the Bones episode The Doctor in the Photo(which aired last week on Fox), Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) gets a glimpse into her own life when the body of a brilliant and career-driven surgeon is found in a rough neighborhood with multiple fractures in her skull and no indication as to how or why she was there. While the team investigates the case objectively, Brennan struggles to separate her own life from the victim’s as she perceives many parallels between them the more she learns about the victim’s past. Meanwhile, evidence found at the crime scene brings the team closer to solving the case, but it’s Brennan’s unique perspective that propels her to retrace the final events of the victim’s life. With the reassurance of a new friend and Jeffersonian security guard, Micah Leggat (guest star Enrico Colantoni), Brennan makes a discovery about herself and learns a lesson about taking chances.

A few days prior to the airing of this episode, Bones leading lady Emily Deschanel spoke with myself as well as other journalists about this episode and the series in general. Rather than removing a number of spoiler-related paragraphs from our conversation, I decided to wait until after the episode aired to run this piece. I hope you enjoy the following edited version of the Q & A we did with Emily.

... In this episode, you do a fantastic scene with David Boreanaz (Special Agent Seeley Booth) in the car when you’re talking to him. It’s a really somber moment. Can you tell us a little bit about what it was like filming that emotionally charged scene? It actually had me crying, too.

ED - I shouldn’t say, “That’s nice. I’m glad you cried,” but I guess we always want to affect people emotionally. It was one of those scenes that you know is coming up and you prepare for it acting-wise. It’s also one of those scenes that [in the script] says you’re supposed to cry and you’re like, “It’s okay, though, if I don’t cry. I don’t have to cry,” but then everyone is expecting you to cry. So there’s a lot of pressure in that way.

As an actor you kind of dread those types of scenes in a way, because you’d rather it [the crying] not be written in and, instead, just see whether or not your emotions go to that place. At the same time, it’s good to have those markers as an actor in order to know where your breaking points are for the character, and where in the story is the low point. Basically in this scene, Brennan has to face her own life because this woman has died and she didn’t have much of a personal life. The only people who listed her as missing are the people she worked with. She didn’t have any friends. She had some kind of romance with a guy, but nothing ever came of that. No one really missed her. Isn’t that almost every human’s worst fears, dying and no one misses you or notices. So this affects Brennan greatly. She starts relating to the character, believing that it’s her. She starts seeing her own life and seeing that she made a mistake when she said no to Booth last year. She goes out on a limb and says to Booth, “I’m here.”

This whole experience forces Brennan into a place where she is bold and kind of aware of her feelings in a way that she hasn’t been before, which is very strange for her. [Executive producer] Hart Hansen, the creator of the show, and I have always talked about how Brennan may have these feelings for Booth, but in a way she’s the last person to realize that. It takes a very odd experience for her to face her feelings and to see them.
