Welcome back my friends to the show that's (sadly) soon to end...
-I can't imagine anything that would make me miss Skee-Ball Night.
-Glad to see the living with the Bozers plothole was addressed. Also, go live with one of the Ghostbusters? Where do I sign up?
-Big Brother Russ now too?!?! (Spoiler: I love the fact that he will be in the air for this entire episode...clearly doing nothing but racking up those frequent flyer miles.)
-Ah yes, the completely mis-used term "defund" the police when that isn't what actually what anyone's pushing for. Thanks for the reminder that Americans don't understand that words mean things and have certain connotations.
-Auntie's phone sure had incredible battery life. Guessing she wasn't big on scrolling the battery-draining social media apps.
-Yeah, this nanobot stuff doesn't come off as creepy at all...despite it's perceived benefits.
-Some serious Double-O Boze driving skills here.
-Mac's grandpa's cabin looks a lot like the Omar and Boris safe cabin from "Hammock + Balcony."
-Water treatment plant? Man, why does it seem like they recycled a lot of locations in this one...lol.
-Good talk with Winston, er, Milton. Mac needed to hear that.
-1160 code for a water main break...I'd like to hear the story behind remembering that one.
-Heckuva stunt falling through that table.
-Hey, a firepit scene! Missed these. Sweet scene between these two too.
Man, this was a really good episode. Just had that throwback vibe that we didn't get enough of over the show's five seasons. Classic Mac goes somewhere on non-work business, yet through his own nosiness ends up in the thick of things. The non-Phoenix episodes always seem to come off well...probably because we see them so rarely, and they *usually* don't have Matty still chiming in. Mac getting to do work without "oversight" is always nice. It was also nice to have zero relationship-y stuff getting in the way. Milton addressing Mac's dependency on problem-solving as a coping mechanism was much needed, and as Dashboard said, should have been addressed earlier, although we perhaps lacked the appropriate vessel to deliver that info.
Well...one more week. One more adventure.
