MacGyver - Season 5

[KyleEl]

If they film in Georgia I'm guessing the cliff was Stone Mountain. And that green screens were used.

I want to know how Mac can possibly communicate deep inside a mine. Those signals are coming from thousands of miles away so obviously a satellite is involved, but how is such a thing possible? And yet without the ability to communicate mac had no way of getting out of there.

Desi was in danger several times and I didn't care because I want her gone. Okay, maybe it's just a way to cope. No, they'll never let anything happen to one of the team. And that would make Mac feel bad.

On the other hand, when she smiles and her hair is down she looks so pretty.

I'm curious about Mac's father's headstone. Normally one that big is for a man and his wife. I guess for the show they could do something like that. I also wonder how you put a fake headstone in the middle of a cemetery.

[KyleEl]

I can't remember whether we have one tonight.

I do know this. I was looking up something about a movie about Evel Knievel and George Eads played him in a movie I saw. I don't remember knowing who he was, so either the series hadn't started yet or I hadn't learned to like him.

S5.E10 Diamond + Quake + Carbon + Comms + Tower

Friday, March 5, 2021

Murdoc teams up with Andrew to hack the teams' comms and reveal their most closely-guarded secrets.

[AntiArbitrator]

I despise Murdoc and when I saw he was back, I was not enthusiastic about watching the episode. I watched it today, and it is one of my favorites of the season. I enjoyed the revealing of secrets and the action.

I had often wondered what happened to Bozer's girlfriend and now we know.

The episode ended on a "romantic" cliffhanger. I am betting ten cents that Desi is eliminated within the next two episodes so that we do not have a love triangle creating issues.

[KyleEl]

I forgot to post here.

Murdoc is actually sort of funny but I don't like our heroes being in that much danger.

I felt really bad about how Bozer was treated. I hadn't even thought about his having a girlfriend.

We can only hope that Desi is off the team. Though I thought it was neat how Mac created a diamond. If he and a team member are together I hope it's Riley. And he doesn't have Jack around to hate it.

No one ever calls Bozer "Wilt". That was weird. Naturally his response was "Angus".

I can't remember how the college basketball schedule has changed but this used to be the week this show would get bumped to late night. But the schedule changed several years ago so it wouldn't be happening now anyway. Also, the interview with the royals is airing instead.

[KyleEl]

I was wrong. Had there been an episode Friday, there would have been an ACC Tournament game during that episode. One of the games was called off because of COVID=19 but the other one was played. My TiVo didn't show a game, but it showed the Oprah interview at that time.

This year there will be March Madness, so no episodes for a while.

[KyleEl]

Once again, I was hoping we would be rid of Desi. Her brief scenes had excitement. They jumped from Argentina to Colombia just like that and it appeared to be the same woods.

I did like seeing Mac and Riley work together but wish the relationship talk hadn't happened.

Yes, that's one place. I thought they made up a country but maybe it is a real place.

Bozer in charge? He's always been comic relief or the science expert. I did like how the woman in charge of getting funding finally got to see the team in action.

[KyleEl]

I've never liked Desi better. She had her hair down and wore a nice dress and she was nice for a change.

Once again Bozer was in charge.

Russ almost blew his cover because someone at the wedding knew him.

I had a big problem this week and I hope it's temporary. I couldn't see those funny messages at the bottom of the screen. The V-chip rating was also cut off at the top and one person in the credits was always missing. At the same time Russ looked anorexic.

On "Magnum, PI" the same problem. Higgins looked like Olive Oyl.

[AntiArbitrator]

I enjoyed the episode. I was dismayed when the team was accused of attempted kidnapping, but the misunderstanding was cleared up quickly. I was glad Russ determined why his lady friend left him without explanation, but I am not happy that he forgave her so quickly after hearing her excuse. The upside is he will no longer be shocked if she double-crosses him.

Gee, those chips are still in Mac and the team members. In the previous episode, I thought Russ might have had something to do with the manufacture or distribution of the technology. I hope that is not the case.

[KyleEl]

This show has been cancelled.

[KyleEl]

I figured Mac's problems were called by the miniature devices. I was impressed that Desi could do so much with his instruction.

Matty is not going to like that they went against her wishes.

Two episodes left. That's what they're saying.

My Olive Oyl problem didn't happen this week and I was able to read the funny messages at the bottom of the screen.

Italy looks a lot like South Carolina.

[AntiArbitrator]

For some unknown reason, the episode did not record. I tuned in 20 minutes late and Mac was already having a problem with his hands. They did a good job of disguising the fancy car.

H20 + Orthophosphates + Mission City + Corrosion+Origins

I enjoy the episodes that include family matters. Mac and Bozer had not returned home, the family would not have had the protection they needed. It would have taken the authorities too long to know what was happening. Bozer has a good relationship with his parents. Mr. Bozer is 76 years old in real life and looks very good.

I remember Mac saying Bozer's family took him in, but I did not realize they actually raised him when he was that young.

I am very disappointed the show is ending and cannot find a reason for the cancellation.

[KyleEl]

I can't believe after the pandemic anyone insists on hugging.

Mac's situation looks a lot like Barry Allen's. For one thing, he's a white kid without his parents living with a Black family.

Once again, someone doesn't know what Bozer really does and they find out the hard way. They actually thought all he did was think?

Riley's girls got involved with a real case but it nearly had terrible consequences.

I feel bad that Riley might not be able to get the nanobots or whatever they are out of her system. I've heard that term on two other shows. One was on The CW this week but I can't remember which one. The other was years ago when The Allstate Man turned John Goodman into a young Superman. It was just a terrible nightmare but the nanobots ate all the printed words. Soon there was nothing left except what was online.

[KyleEl]

This week's episode is the finale. I don't see how they can wrap everything up.

Abduction + Memory + Time + Fireworks + Dispersal

SEASON 5, EPISODE 15 • FINALE
8:00 PM ON WJZDT 13 • TV-PG • STEREO • CC

Mac and Riley go missing and wake up 24 hours later in a cornfield with no memory of how they got there; they must unravel the mystery and find out how to get rid of the nanotrackers in their bodies, no matter the cost.

[AntiArbitrator]

What happened to Mac and Riley was scary. Learning that their own government experimented on them was something they cannot forgive. I do not know if Matty told them the Oversight Committee was aware and was in favor of what was done. It is not clear to me why Oversight did not care that the fireworks would indiscriminately infect all the people at the celebration.

I did not recognize Desi when she was the hostess at the card table because she looked different. I enjoyed Bozer acting like a big time card player.

The cancellation seemed sudden, especially in light of them adding new characters. Why bother doing that if the show was ending? In spite of that, I think they tied up loose ends pretty well.

[KyleEl]

They set things up so the series could end, but The Phoenix didn't shut down entirely. I don't see how they can still work without the government but we won't have to deal with that.

I was so worried they would think it was all right to kill Mac because the series was ending. It's not all right.

So many people. You would think the pandemic is over. In the series it is. But they still took more risks than they should have.

I think you (KyleEl ) have seen "John Wick". The hotel for criminals was set up similar to the hotel in the movies and played an important role.

I have now.

[KyleEl]

I can delete the first ten episodes of season five, and the series finale, if any are there.

I can't tell from the comments which of the others I saw.

Okay, I have a reason to watch this one, but just to see the messages. I don't know whether it has aired.

I hate discovering typos more than a year later.

Still waiting.

Whichever episode I fast-forwarded through, it looked like an episode of "Ordinary Joe". I don't understand the lighting. They were outside but the alternate Earth was not being combined with our Earth.

I fast forwarded through it and saw all the funny messages. There was just one. "Naan of your business."

The others explained the wedding but weren't funny.

Tempting, but I didn't really have time to watch again.
