| QUOTE | to be honest with you this ep reminded me of when David Hassolholf did the very same thing in baywatch. Maybe Mac was a race car driver who know's, it doesnt really strike me as an episode that corrolates with the rest of the show though, but hey...it was ok.
The more the episode's go on, the more we learn the diverse amount of things MacGyver has been a part of.
The man's a legend, so who am i to question it. |

| QUOTE | | I voted good on this episode. Not actually MacGyver but well another sports episode and that's alright for me. Keep up the good work Mac. |

| QUOTE | "Collision Course" was a really good episode. It is nice to see a sports-themed episode on MacGyver, like "Thin Ice" or "The Eraser" and "Back From the Dead". (Okay those last two are centered around baseball, but it's definitely part of it.)
I thought MacGyver did a good job with making a new gasket from a pennant- that's typical MacGyver- making do with what he has available to fix things.
And I thought it was interesting to see MacGyver blaming himself for his friend's injury-
"Good old MacGyver!" But his friend pulls through and MacGyver gets a chance to race again. It was a good fun episode and yes, it's another appearance by Kai Wulff as yet another villian- (but don't worry, he's got more left in him) |

| QUOTE | | i voted excellant. this is one of my favorites. it shows us another part of macs younger days that you don't see anywhere else. not to many macgyverisms but still good. i like how he puts together the entire race car minus the chasis and body work in 1 night. one of my favorite parts is in the end when stone hits the nos and slides off the track, and mac pulls ahead. the jamacian guy in the tv trailer is hillarious too. this ep has on of petes most funniest actions. when mac wins the race hes like yea....right and pete says yay!! while clapping his hands. i just think its too funny. and then the coronor comes up to him and tells him something and petes face get serious. hillarious!! |

| QUOTE | I voted good--not one of my favorites, but that's probably because I'm not too into racing! I don't mind the sports episodes because, you know, Mac can't always be chasing down international assasins or corrupt government officials.
I love it when episodes give us a further peek into Mac's life before Phoenix. It makes him more real when you see why he is the way he is and the things he did before the show picks up on his life. |

| QUOTE | Good episode! G. Gordon Liddy, race cars, and angsty Mac-- a nice combination!
I think that this episode adds another dimension of character to Mac's personality. He was a reckless adventurer in his younger days (and his older days too, tho less reckless) I can visualize him racing cars easily.
And Rick loves racing, so I imagine that he enjoyed making this ep! |

| QUOTE | This one is okay...I don't know why, but I just couldn't get into it as much as some of the other episodes. I enjoyed the "Nascar" aspect of the episode, though, and getting to watch Rick race! There's something about a man and a fast car...
I also liked the idea that his MacGyverism might not have worked, and his guilt and anger over that possibility: "MacGyver can fix anything!" He was so bitter and sad. His struggles with the past, and his refusal to race were excellent additions to his background character. |

| QUOTE | I voted good, not one of my all time fav's, but still good.
I love watching him excercise one of his hobbies, like in "rock the cradle" when he falls out of Jack's airplane (luckily with a parachute on his back)
or when he's playing hockey or now, racing.
I love formula 1 racing, this kind of carracing is not quite my thing, but, hey, whaever makes him happy brings a smile to my face too! |

Yay, I managed to watch one more before boarding the flight!  And while my company is watching a series I don't care too much about, I'm typing up another "review..." Anyway--despite the fact that I'm not a fan of racing, I really liked this episode anyway! I think it sheds more light on MacGyver's guilt issues, which is such an important part of his character. Poor guy is blaming himself for almost anything that happens to his friends or associates! It was hard to watch him going through all that pain... his previous crash, and when he was blaming himself for Jeff's accident... and then, Jeff's daughter didn't exactly make it better with her tantrum. I understand her though. I actually liked her character very much! No wonder she was emotionally distressed, she cared so much for her father, and she had such spirit! The Jamaican guy was so much fun... although the bit-map thingy trick is getting old by now, and it still doesn't work. (I must confess that I love when other series are making fun of this "trick"... "Oh, man, can you enhance this for me?" "No!" *snicker* Hmm... I actually... well, because of the exploration of Mac's psyche, and not at all because of the racing, I'll give this episode an "Excellent"... even though it's more between "Good"/"Excellent," really.
