| When Kate shuts off power to the building, she types the command in to the computer "close all circuits" when infact it should be "open all circuits". Closing a circuit means to compleate a circuit so that power flows and open means to cut a circuit so that power doesn't flow. When MacGyver is copying the files off the lab computer, the type of computer and the table its sitting on changes between shots. |

| When Kate and Mac are in the storage closet, Mac grabbed an audio generator and a speaker to make a ear-piercing din to mount an unsuccessful bid to escape. Mac plugs the generator into the cab and goes to it. The problem with this (At least with that Acoustic or maybe Peavey cabinet he was using) is that speaker cabinets require an amplifier to run. He clearly plugs the gen into the speaker inputs.  |

 so what your saying is that particular MacGyverism was doomed from the start.  |

| Yup Takes a musician to spot that kinda stuff though. I suppose theres...err...irregularities all though every episode, which can only be caught by sharp-eyed experts in their different fields. My particular favs are when Mac unscrews all manner of old rusty junk with impromptu tools, with one hand usually tied behind his back. In real life....well......it takes a vise, half a can of WD40, both hands on a 3 foot pipe wrench, and a strong command of invective. |

| I'm surpised no one noticed that when Mac and Kate were triangulting using their watches that Kate's watch changes. First she is wearing a watch with small dial and brown strap then she is wearing a watch with a bigger dial and a black strap. |

I know what you mean. I've had to jump on wrenches with both feet to break some things loose. It always looks easier than it is.  |

| I wonder how MacGyver knew where North was. One of these days I've got to try that triangulation thing. |

| At the end of the episode when Mac and Kate are talking in the bar, Mac's leaning forward on his elbows on the counter/table. When Kate looks back at Les and smiles, Mac/RDA has a rather puzzled look on his face. When he says the government might get Kate her own lab, she says it's sounds alright, she nods and he nods back like: 'yeah.' Maybe the nod was her signal to look back but RDA really gives this questioned look. During this moment, he's clearly not leaning anymore. When Kate looks back at Mac and he asks if she would introduce her date to him he is leaning again, he straighten himself again but when Kate thanks him for everything he is leaning again and you can see he comes back straight for the third time. |

| Emerson SwingMate Portable FM/AM Radio. That's not a radio transmitter, so how Kate was able to send the SARSAT 243MHz signal?  Just before the bad guys come into the room, Kate pushes the switch on the radio, I guess to turn it OFF. But the switch what he pushes is actually the TUNER FM/AM switch. |

| Wow! Awesome find there!! Good work. I guess the question is.... Is it suppose to be a radio in the episode or did they just use that radio as a prop for the show? |
