Actually The Anna Weisman episode was out of character for Burnside. That
was the episode written by an "outsider" and probally was the proof to the
producers that they couldn't continue the series without MacKintosh and
keep up the same quality. It was a good episode and all, but I would have
to say that was out of character for Burnside. One can rationalize and say
that in this case or in that situation Burnside could be more compasionit.
As well as saying he was doing it more out of loyalty to Weisman as well
as being able to damage the Soviet Union, than human rights. But still it
was a bit of a stretch for the character so it felt out of place compared
to the rest of the episodes.
