Auto techs don't watch this

[neverenoughgold · 7/10 · 2 August 2021]

Sorry, but why didn't the driver shift the auto trans into low? Then, besides Mac's ability to transfer automatic transmission fluid into brake master, from very high pressure lines, why was the fluid just a gentle flow into the brake reservoir? Okay, now we might have brakes, but what about steering?

Sorry, maybe I'm just too much a realist (and an auto techie). Otherwise, an entertaining episode!

Interesting episode

Manchurian Candidate-ish with fair performances. But Richard Dean Anderson obviously cannot match a fraction of Frank Sinatra's incredible performance in the 1962 film, and let's just say that Lynn-Holly Johnson is fairly laughable in a role similar to the one played in the 1962 film, unforgettably, by Angela Lansbury.

OK episode.

OK episode. I don't like the defector. Annoying. It is nice to see Lynn Holly Johnson. I wish it more exciting but it wasn't. The blooper at the beginning was really funny. Don't writers do research?

Does Everything in America Have to do With Money?

Yes. And what's wrong with that? Try to reduce MacGyver's salary per episode and see how fast he walks. Hollywood movie and TV types, who make much more money than we'll ever see, are such hypocrites about how money-grubbing the rest of us poor shlubs are.

A female Soviet defector. A religious type killed at a party (you can tell he's religious because he's wearing a collar; they never present Protestant clergy who wear street clothes). A mole in the vague company MacGyver sort of works for who keeps getting agents killed. The skater from "For Your Eyes Only." A Soviet hit man named Lem (presumably after the sci-fi author. What does it add up to? Watch and see.

And MacGyver, in the midst of a move, just wants time off. Does he get it? What do you think?

Kind of a dull episode, after a great teaser. Watch the teaser and forget the rest of the episode. It's easy to guess.

BTW, GRUis Soviet military intelligence, who never opened their books after the collapse of the USSR. They're the bunch Alger Hiss spied for.
