Trivia
On Twitter, Co-Showrunner Terry Matalas revealed that his original pitch had been to cast Jeri Ryan as MacGyver's mother, but that he "couldn't convince the powers that be".

Goofs
The scene where the CIA comes in and locks down Phoenix could not happen. The CIA is forbidden by law to act in any capacity other than intelligence gathering on US soil.

Quotes
Gwendolyn Hayes: I don't want people to die.
Angus MacGyver: Then stop trying to kill them.

2/10

Another bait and switch show conversion.

First, create a reasonably entertaining episodic show with self-contained story lines.

Second, have your third-rate writers run out of ideas after two seasons, and convert to a lame serialized format, substituting an idiotic "perpetual omnipotent enemy" to fill in for the paucity of new story ideas.

Third, relentlessly run the series into the ground. See Burn Notice for an example of how all the good parts get drained away, and an endless obsession with an unobtainable goal take their place.
