Choices - MacGyver

"So... basically we're doing extraordinary rendition now?"
MacGyver; you have failed this blog.


Yeah, so after three episodes I'm calling time on MacGyver. I might watch a few more episodes if there's nothing else grabbing me, but… It's just not very good, and certainly not sharp enough to contend with the current field. Part of it is the aforementioned attempt to be too much like the original, and part is that I just don't remember the original Mac doing quite so much official government violation of sovereign borders. Most of the time he was just doing his thing and had to help someone out, or stumbled on terrorists while back packing. This new Mac... he's all about the illegal, unethical sanctioned on the QT abduction of foreign nationals from extra-territorial locations.
