TOP TEN POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS OF WHY MURDOC NEVER DIES
10) What?! If he was really dead, how could there be sequels?
9) He doesn't really exist. He's a figment of Mac's fevered imagination. Murdoc episodes are only nightmare sequences. This would explain all the inconsistencies in "Partners", like how Pete and Mac really met (we know it had something to do with a camel and quicksand) and why Mac seems more like Dexter in flashback, than the smart aleck that we knew and loved at the beginning of the series
8) The Highlander Theory - He's an immortal. You gotta decaptitate him to make it stick. (Thanks to various list folks for this theory, as I wouldn't know Highlander from a hole in the ground)
7) Good genes
6) He's been taking lessons from the great super-villains, Like the Master, Lex Luthor, Moriarty, Miguelito Loveless, Stefano DiMera, Wo Fat, Lina Lamont, Negaduck, Janos Skorzeny.... and getting high marks, too
5) Pact with the devil
4) He does die... every time. Then the writers and producers of MacGyver perform an obscure arcane ceremony to bring him back
3) The Forever Knight Theory -- He's a vampire. You gotta pound a stake through his heart. (I do know Forever Knight from a hole in the ground, but if Murdoc's a vampire, he's exceedingly poor at it)
2) Clean living?
1) It's in his contract
This top ten was contributed by MacGyver fan #755, Samantha Ryan. Thank you, Samantha!
MY TOP TEN REASONS FOR LIKING MacGyver
a. He is extremely good-looking. N.B. this is a valid reason.

d. He has a great sense of humour.
e. Nobody can find anything about him that they hate.
f. MacGyver never uses potentially lethal force unless he has only a split-second to act, and there is no other choice.
g. He isn't always right.
h. He always gives people the benefit of the doubt.
i. He is never vindictive.
j. He is very forgiving. |

| QUOTE (KiwiTek @ 6 July 2013 - 12:48 PM) | Top 10 sounds like a good idea.
Should we start with some ideas for list names?
Here's one...
Top 10 things you never expected to hear from MacGyver. |
There already is a Top ten things MacGyver would never say list (on rusted-crush.com).  Did you have something like that in mind?  I'll give it a try: Here is my list of Top ten things you never expected to hear from MacGyver1. I know for sure this will work. I'm 100% positive. 2. Ice hockey? Nah - golf is way more cool! 3. Bean sprouts are no good - unless you're a rabbit. 4. There's no point in trying to make the world a better place. Whatever you do, it will only be a drop in the ocean. 5. I think I will go for a short haircut this time. 6. You got a new plan for how to make easy money, Jack? Great, I'm in! When do we leave? 7. I don't know how to fix this. Do it yourself! 8. I'm gonna quit this secret agent stuff and get into the bar business. 9. I have enough of my own problems right now; I'm on a very important mission. Go bug someone else. 10. Sorry, Pete. Can't travel. My passport photo doesn't do me justice.

I got another one, though I don't know if it's as good as the last one. TOP TEN REJECTED GUEST STARS FOR A MACGYVER EPISODE 10. The Alflac duck, to show up whenever Murdoc "dies". 9. Thomas the Tank Engine, to scare the crap out of everybody. 8. The California Raisins, to create a distraction during a risky mission. 7. The Energizer Bunny, to take the white bunny's place in "The Odd Triple". 6. The Trix Bunny, for same reason as above. 5. Larry the Singing Snail, to distract Jack or Penny when MacGyver is hiding from him/her. 4. The Starship Enterprise, to beam Murdoc up so he doesn't die. 3. Garfield, to talk Pete out of dieting. 2. Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Gang, to solve "The Secret of Parker House". 1. The Professor from "Gilligan's Island" to talk about improvising. By the way, Larry the Singing Snail was my own invention, and the only character I made up for this discussion.
