Alright, squeezing this in to a busy weekend.
-OK, I seriously wanna know how they survived that jump. I know it's played for effect in these opening gambits...but come onnnnnn...
-Brother's name is Simon, but it's not listed that way in the credits above...
-Ahh, sibling rivalry. Classic "one's a homebody, the other's out trekking the world."
-Alright! MacGyver off on some mundane task and bam, a situation arises out of thin air! This doesn't happen as much as it should.
-And the B-Storyline also has a situation come up out of nowhere!
-Matty certainly surrendered her phone for a (Eli)Hack a lot easier than Jack ever would have!
-"Can Mac make a self driving car in under 2 minutes?" -"Definitely."
-I understand suppressed memories, but it seems a slight stretch that Eli/Chen wouldn't have some recollection of things that happened when he was 5.
-Re-enacting fight scenes. It's like we're back at the seed vault!
-Heckuva an assumption by Mason that Eli will get to "close the book" based off figuring out the place where he lived as a young boy. (Spoiler: naturally, the seemingly anachronistic burner phone is there).
-I love how everybody in her family is surprised that Desi has hand-to-hand combat skills as if she wasn't in the military.
-Did the Mason thread actually get wound up here? OK, cool, do Walsh next!
-Disappointed in the lack of denouement between Simon and Desi, and even Simon and Mac as fellow nerds/guy dating your sister.
-Pretty enjoyable episode overall. Not a ton to say as both storylines were tight and paced well. On to next week!
