Wait, wait, wait, wait! In Reptile's vid, what is that at 0:42 and 0:58 seconds? I never saw that before. I don't remember him abseiling like that?

Although I hate that they have changed the explosion title with a cheap and nasty CGI version.
Makes me wonder what else they have played with and changed.
I want a faithful remastering of the original not one they have played with and altered.
Don't ever do that again. I was already going: Nooooooo!!! Why can't they leave well enough alone?

Pretty sure you only see that new explosion the first time you put in a disc - here's a quick iPhone capture of the title sequence explosion...
Thank God.
I just followed the link in Reptile's video to YouTube and there I found another link to the new replaced fully opening titles sequence.
I can still live with this. The G is different in my opinion but I don't think there is much difference what the logo is concerned. The shiny glow appears to be gone indeed. I can live with this. I'm glad they didn't change the explosion. I was already disappointed they changed it in the Pilot with the lab explosion. I always liked this one better. Boom: smoke, that blue and yellow fire, the sparks and the logo comes out!
Another difference is the shot when Mac jumps on the rubber boat. It's like he wants to hop in, instead of really jump in. Maybe that's from another take?
Here you can see the differences.
Of course, maybe they only do this for this season and starting from season 2 everything is back to what it was.

isn't this from Countdown episode? As he goes on the ship from helicopter?
It's hardly on there for a split second but you might be right though. I think at 0:58 seconds we just see the bottom of the helicopter and when he lands parts of the cruise. But it's real fast.

That Poland TV images certainly look HD, but there's no way CBS would give out HD to a TV channel before they'd extorted our wallets with a Blu-ray release surely?
The main reason for remastering MacGyver is providing new HD transfers for streaming services and TV stations. So I don't find it unlikely that season 2 is already airing in HD in some areas.
Releasing it on Blu-ray is a nice bonus, but that's not where the studio will earn their money back.

Is that... a painting?
Trumbo: This is my backyard. Charlie: This is worth a shot. Mac: Trumbo? You do know that that's a painting, don't you?
In one of the night shots in Prisoner Of Conscience you can cleary see the hospital is a painting without being in HD. Then I can imagine how the mountains and the temple in Mountain of Youth will look like.

No I remember another night shot. I thought in one of the of windows was supposed to be a light burning.

Yeah, but those weren't night scenes.
Maybe I am thinking about another episode.

I wonder when we'll hear about a next release.... or whether streaming services will get HD.... I'm not sure they have a great reason to drag out the releases?

They dragged the release for the Season 1 Reboot DVD for a year, so this is nothing
Price is down to 36.83 USD at the moment. I think they'll wait until after Christmas to announce anyhing. Not sure if good sales for Christmas could influence how soon the S2 BluRay will come out or not
That's always a sign you might be in trouble if your dashboard is on fire... Currently blogging about the MacGyver Reboot on Dashboard On Fire

I have no idea what the cost effectiveness is in printing/producing a blu ray vs just doing digital services.... it seems like they are already using later seasons HD in some countries. Eventually I would hope Amazon would get the HD files for streaming or to buy? It seems like discs are sort of on the way out...

I have to kinda agree that hopefully they'll upload the HD to streaming. Now that I think about, it almost makes sense why after all these years, they removed MacGyver from Netflix and it hasn't returned. Maybe they wanted to update it first?
I'll still collect the Blu-rays for offline viewing, but until I get a computer that plays Blu-rays, my Xbox will have to do. It HATES the disks though, for some odd reason.

MacGyver is currently on Amazon Prime... shows tend to swap around like that. (Stargate SG-1 is on Hulu but recently appeared on Amazon Prime as well)
I also only have my PS3/4 to play blu rays... I really hate changing discs to find an episode, otherwise the quality is great

They make more money from having it on their own streaming service than they do from Netflix.
Everything CBS does is to make money. No matter what they do, or how silly it might seem, you can guarantee there's a money reason behind it.
Of course that applies to all the networks, not just CBS.

Most likely... I forget that corporations like CBS don't think like me or have the best of intentions....
