So I have missed a lot of episodes of MacGyver but got to catch up a little tonight. This is the first one I seen since Female Thorton was captured so I think I missed a few. But it seems if so, it didn't matter. tonight was Boziers first misson, an easy one that we knew wouldn't be easy. The beginning of the episode started so stupid and even more of what I now call the MacGyver effect (bullets flying everywhere, hitting near but never directly in harm, lots of ducking, like that matters and standing in front of said threats who just stop shooting to be surprised by something (also seen in Walking Dead). I was so happy to see it was a stupid Boozier dream and not the usual opening adventure that is brief and unexplained. And he had a talking robot he conversed with. that's a conversation. Boozier and a Robot. Evolving, I now know her name is Riley and not that "really hot Lisa Bonet but better lookalike" and all them agree to that mission in Holland to spy but they cant be seen spying or go to jail and cause all bad stuff . Riley was wearing a choker around her neck, that's hot in 1997 and in my book still is. I saw a fake article where a girl wearing one and the head line was "i bought this choker at (some store) and now I cant stop doing (insert dirty word here)" I'm not into that but it was hot. I felt Rileys choker was just a piece of black duct tape though. it needs to be more ribbon-y. Now that I said that, why was it duct tape looking . Hmmm. Anyhow , they were staking out a Dutch government lady, it went wrong, she ran, she had a bomb, they took bomb . drove it to a place it could detonate safely. now why did they stop the van, then run out of it , and bomb explodes? Drop it and keep driving but I figure for the sake of dutch agencies finding van, all the evidence would be there if not blown up. I guess. So they in trouble, Dutch people identify their faces but no American agency owns up to them, including Pheonix so they on their own. Oh yeah, this was after the MacGyver effect , where they see cops with guns aimed at them and go "run away" and run away like they assuming Dutch police shoot like storm troopers or A-team villains . Boozier likes the idea of being on the team but realizes its hard. MacGyver is like "its a movie but you make the ending". I thought that was stupid. I'd like once or twice to watch a TV show or movie where the threat is just killed or dies of something. Lame but more realistic. Oh hes gone. Think Walking Dead, Rick like, I'm going to kill you Neegan, then one day, some random guy assassinates Neegan and everything changes. Anyhow, they have all these ways of trying to clear themselves. LED lights in sunglasses, that make your face glow in face recognition software, (which isn't suspicious), and hagnig out at that models really incredible apartment who for whatever reason with all that still misses Jack and then disappears for an odd amount of time with strangers in her house, ones that can open a drawer and instantly find all her old remotes or makeup. And Boozier finding his calling and making his best work ever (and I was getting beer when he did it so I may have missed something) but then just made everyone fake noses to fool the Facial recognition cameras. Then Boozier as usual , decides what to do , instead of listening to the experienced people and turns out to be right but still. THen he hugs someone in front of the midget boss but cameras are sure to get her happy response which ticked me off as she should be a hard ass. THen Doozier is in his lab with the robot and tells this virtual robot human thing how safe he feels with it. I hope the robot someday is a threat and just kills him. "hey where's Doozier?" "oh he was assassinated by a robot" "really that seems abrupt"
