Another good episode but it's a great episode to introduce our good buddy Jack Dalton.

"Jack of Lies" is an awesome episode! Great episode to introduce Jack Dalton, as well as a great way to do it- having all of MacGyver's stuff gone! Jack almost reminds a bit of a happy-go-lucky rogue like Han Solo, but not exactly. :-)

And there's also the top notch MacGyverisms as usual. And we get to see Knight Rider's "Bonnie" (Patricia McPherson) too! Very cool episode, as always.

Excellent Mac & Jack Adventure!!! As already said "JACK OF LIES is an awsome,

and great episode. We get to know Jack but especially the funny dynamic in their friendship. He lies to him, he gets him into trouble, he drives Mac crazy. But on the other hand he makes him laugh and we learn that Jack saved Mac's life, when he cut his air hose on a coral during diving. In the end he saves Mac again and (seem to) lose his own life for his friend.

I like this episode!! It has some great dialogue moments between Mac and Jack. "Botanists? I thought sure I said Botanist" lol. Getting the feel of Jack Dalton was great!!

I loved this episode. This one always brings back memories. So do most eps, but this one is action packed, humorous and it has the Mac/Jack combo.

Btw, I liked this Mike much better than the later one from The Widowmaker

I liked that one much better too. The second Mike didn't even seem like the original Mike, who was adventurous and sure of herself.

Love this ep! As some of you might know, I am obsessed by the photograph that Mac found in Jack's strongbox--so much so that I wrote a fic about it!

I love the scene where Mac is lobing exploding oxygen tanks while Jack evades the Naughty Police... and Jack's line to Mac:

"Now tell me you're not having just a little bit of fun!"

And when Mac brings an orchid to Mike and kisses her on the cheek!

Fun, fun episode!

Let us not forget: "Tricks o' me trade, Mac me boy-o, tricks o' me trade!"

Is it just me or part of the music in this episode sounds a lot like the music in Stargate SG-1 "1969"?

It isn't just you--I can hear some similarities, but I don't think it's the same music. It sounds like loud '80s rock music to me, like a knock-off of the Top Gun soundtrack or something, while in SG-1's 1969, it had a "folksy," roots rock sound to it.

I like the part of Mac saying

"Don't we need maps?"
(or something like that)

And then Jack's reply and the look on his face; priceless!

"Shouldn't we be using charts or something?" - Mac

"Charts!" - Mac

I can't tell you anything about what happens after the cameras go off, mostly because I'm usually unconscious by then.

My favourite part of that exchange is Mac taking a second to think about the name of the airline. It's just so realistic!

Ah, I do love Jack...

By the look of the runway where they ended up - and the fact that Jack had already been there, I don't think charts would've made any difference.

I noticed in this episode that Jack is like Mac in many ways; alway coming up with a plan. And Mac is like Jack at the end of the episode when he says "Tricks of Me trade old boy, tricks of me trade"

Jack also care about Mac and Mike when he pull out the SAK so that Mike can cut Mac's rope in hopes of stopping Jack. I would love to have a friend like Jack that can make me laugh and think about all the possilbities.

Ah, Good Ol' Jack!

I only watched this again (dvd) last night.

I loved how Jack 'borrowed' (for want of a better word) all Mac's stuff at his place!
The look on Mac's face when he realised that it was all gone, was priceless!!

I loved Jack in all the episodes he was in.

The whole episode was great fun.

I think my favorite scene is the following:

"Please, Mac, don't go, I'm beggin' ya... whoahh!"
"JACK!"

Mac dives, and ends up on the floor with Jack swinging back and forth above him.

Cracks me up every time!!

Another great moment:

"So what's the deal? Papa Thornton say you can come out and play, or what?"
"Yeah..."
"Good. Now, we go to plane, kemosabe. You follow."
(v.o.) "I know I said I was gonna slug him. But how do you hit a kid?"

I think I probably know this entire eppy by heart by now.
