Burn Notice

When I heard that Michael Shanks was to guest in Burn Notice for several episodes, I was delighted for him.  I decided to check out the show on the strength of his promised arc in the second season

You have an excellent point about Fi. I watched the show as it initially aired and when the comment about Fi's IRA conncection came up, that did put me off a bit. Here in the U.S., we're farther removed from situation so don't feel it as strongly. That's not meant as an excuse, but a partial explanation. IIRC, Fi's background was mentioned early on to introduce her character, but doesn't really get mentioned much (if at all) after that so the IRA aspect isn't really played up that much.

Still, I really wish they had picked a different background for her. Made her a government operative just like Michael Westin is/was. It would have been very easy.

What I would like to see is a character development scene with Fi where she's comparing her new life helping people with her old life and expressing regret over her prior actions.

I just caught a few eps of "Burn Notice" on the recent "rerun", but never saw where it explained Fiona's origin. That is disquieting.

I am intrigued with the show generally, and look forward to MS's appearance.
