This was the most 'MacGyver' episode, I've seen so far and written by Lee David Zlotoff himself. I was just thinking, if he only wrote episodes for the original. Yes, it's quite obvious where the inspiration came from though I didn't feel much for the garbage truck opening but I liked Jack's moaning when he broke his arm.
Yes, the episode did feel like they remade Flame's End and it was better. I never really liked Flame's End to begin with. This could've or should've been one of those lone wolf episodes. It just felt like it when Mac arrives in Boston and then we find Jack there waiting, who got there before him and I felt like... I don't know if this was necessary. Not to mention his broken arm and he was still driving. I don't mind Jack acting as a bodyguard but Mac doesn't need a chauffeur. He can drive, you know?
What Riley/Bozer is concerned, I'm glad Zlotoff finished that off. I know that I said earlier that I was shocked about the responses here after he admitted that he seemed to like Riley more than just as friends and that the episode that followed totally ignored that but I was willing to give it time. 5 or 6 episodes nothing happened and suddenly in Hawaii he becomes jealouse because she found someone she is attracted to. It's like they clearly don't know what to do with it, so I would simply say, drop it. Keep toying with that idea is going to get annoying and let's be real here: Riley is out his league and I think that goes for everyone who works there, I'm afraid. I do agree though that Riley is cool.
Also nice to see François Chau again. Cool tweet of him too.
I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver. Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you. It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.
