My biggest nitpick about this ep and part 2 is the armor is all wrong! I'm more of a history geek than a chemistry or computer geek, so it really bugs me when historical details aren't right! Mac supposedly went back to 7th century Britain...the armor and sheilds were more or less 16th century. I was actually pretty impressed with the time they chose to use...any historical references to Arthur place him in that time frame, while most literature references put him in the Middle Ages (thus the anachronistic armor). How's that for alliteration!

My degree is in medieval history, so the entire ep makes me shake my head. That said, the whole ep was a dream so we can't really fault anything!
(The ending of that ep never ceases to shock me. RDA dies so well. )

I love this episode (and it's twin) but I must say that I am disturbed by Mac's eyes... they seem a little too pale--almost washed out. And he looks exhausted. I don't know if that's just the make-up (he did get bashed on the head, but I noticed this is in the 'dream world' too )
but those light brown eyes are just unsettling! *shivers*

I think it was just the lighting. Or maybe it was of because it were the last few episodes and RDA was getting tired.
By the way did you see his eyes when he "dies"? He covered it up until he could give us the expression while "dying".
I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver. Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you. It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.

I think its fair to say that season 7 lacked the energy from the actors of previous seasons.
Maybe they just knew the end was near and where starting to wind down MacGyver and start thinking about their next projects... like you tend to do when you change jobs.. your excited about the new job.. but have to work out your resignation of the old job, so it becomes ho-hum another day.. kind of thing.

Well, that's a good thing then, seeing how lances are made out of wood.
DOH!! your right.. don't know what I was thinking about when I said that.
But I reckon it was wobbling around to much to have been wood too

A college fund well spent.
University was actually the worst waste of money ever. I'll be paying back my student loans until I go grey. The upside of that, though, is that I know what I don't want to be when I grow up.
College, where I did natural resource sciences, on the other hand, was the best waste of money ever.

There are rumours RD wore lighter contact lenses in S7. No idea if that's true. RD doesn't strike me as a guy who'd wear coloured lenses.
Anyway, another nitpick: the writing on the wall inside the cell (this is part II)is different from the writing that's being reflected in the hair piece. Yu have to freeze frame it and compare it, but it is different.

Something for but parts though but as it was seen in part 1 as well. When Morgana says: 'when it gets too difficult, you can always let go!' she moves her hand in front of her face. Her nails were polished. I don't think in the dark ages nail polish was invented yet.

Just a nitpick ... at the very end when the paramedic has revived MacGyver and dresses his head wound and tells him he should be fine after he goes home and gets some sleep. Im a paramedic and the first time i saw this i was like WHAT? The last thing someone with a head injury with loss of conciousness should do is go to sleep, unless they dont ever wanna wake up again. Even if MacGyver felt fine any time you sustain an injury to the head strong enough to cause a concussion he needs to be evaluated for a subdural hematoma or bleed. Even if MacGyver decided against seeking medical advice you would never tell him to go sleep on it, this is fairly basic principle of head injuries the writers should have known.

when mac holds out arthurs ring and says "he knows who the guilty party is" there is a closeup of his face and three stage lights are perfectly reflected in RDAs eyes most likely off his contacts most notably are the 2 in his right eye

MacGyver totally misquotes Shakespeare: 'Methinks thou doth protest too much'. That should be: 'The lady doth protest too much, methinks.'
Maybe it was altered to fit the episode as many other things like the existence of vanadium. Either way he gave it his own swing or both ways is correct. 'Methinks' at the beginning or the end of the sentence. And of course Duncan is no lady.
I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver.

When Morgana tells Cecilia she would become the first victim of her weapon she calls her weapon a killing machine. Interesting that she knows what a machine is while Merlin doesn't.

Just like with the vanadium I guess, which was discovered in 1801.
I am working on this episode now in the timeline, which is actually kinda fun. I thought it would be worse with all inconsistencies but I've made some interesting discoveries when it comes to the history of the MacGyver name. For starters, I think that despite what was always thought MacGyver must've known his first name all his life otherwise Malcolm wouldn't be able to tell him that all the Iain M'Ivers or MacGyvers sons would have the same first name as he has. Malcolm knew about MacGyver's first name, Kate Malloy does and I'm pretty much sure Pete does too. So it wasn't much of a secret after all. And I'm pretty sure now that Lulu saw the name Angus on his ID card in The Lost Amadeus. No wonder she said: 'That's your first name?' Yet it remains interesting though that Mr. Newberry did not find a trace of his first name anywhere or maybe Harry didn't pass it along.

During the dog scene Merlin spreads green muck all over his face and robe, yet two scenes later when MacGyver and Merlin are standing in front of Morgana's castle, he's totally clean again.
