The Wasteland
( In which I wonder if someone has spiked my drink. )
---
You know, apropos of nothing in that ep, it strikes me that I keep waiting for a story or character arc on MacGyver. I'm out of tune with How TV Used To Be. I've been spoiled by my X-Files, Buffy, Doctor Who - yes, even Stargate. I mentioned, when talking about Jericho Games, that Mac would be even more commitment-shy after that... but he won't, will he? He was commitment-shy – when it suited the story – in the beginning, and he's no worse or better now. *sigh* I miss my plot arcs.
Yes, I know there's one involving Pete coming up, but I tend to think that's due to real life, and not because the writers suddenly realised that plot arcs weren't just for soap operas.
Until next time, take care of yourselves, and each other.
