Pete's wife writes that the Foundation was more important to Pete than his family. But they've been divorced for 20 years, which means they divorced while Pete was working for the DXS...Not the foundation.

Also this episode seems to overlook the other 2 we saw with Pete's family. Not to mention the 2 'wives' were total opposites in looks, one blonde, one a brunette. And surely Pete would have come across the wife during the kid's graduation, and trouble he got into with his college friends.

when MacGyver is reading the second note that was delivered to pete at the hospital when he finishes he flips the note over and you can clearly see the piece of paper he was reading from is blank

When Mac and Pete are talking about Santina, Mac says that Pete was hurt pretty badly when Jack and him came in to get Pete and Sister Margaret out. However this was not Sister Margaret but Sister Clara. Sister Margaret was the Sister in The Road Not Taken. And though mentioned in On A Wing And A Prayer she never showed up in that episode. She was Pete's and Clara's contact from the Church Underground.

This is a big mistake though and makes me wonder, did Rick Mittleman see On A Wing And A Prayer when he wrote Hind-Sight? Or did RDA misspoke? I find it quite hard to believe no one noticed this.

I don't find it that hard to believe that no-one noticed when you consider that there are 57 episodes between Hind Sight and On a Wing and a Prayer plus the break between seasons filming schedules.

I highly doubt that RDA would misspeak his lines. He certainly wouldn't remember any details from 57 episodes ago so that can only mean that was the written line for him.

My initial reaction is that this isn't a big mistake, but I guess in the context of a clip show they should be taking care to get the details right. Having said that though, they are working on an 8 day schedule to produce an entire episode every 8 days, so if this is the biggest mistake we can find, they haven't done too badly have they?

Nice spotting on the nitpick though

What happens to a finished and aired episode? Goes into the archives of the broadcasting studios? I think if they were able to get it or refresh their own memories, they could've prevented this.

Still there are 57 episodes in between and a passing of nearly three years so... They couldn't check the internet back than. It's just a very clear nitpick.

Sorry, MacG.G. This nitpick was already reported on by Liz1976, some years ago. However, I can see why you missed it, because she mentioned it in the Assignments thread.

When Mac and Pete are talking about Brainwashed, Pete says he didn't have anything to do with being brainwashed that time. But actually he so very much did since he was the second killer meant to kill the president.
