This crossover is canon now right?

Nothing will disappoint me less than if, in mid-April 2024, The Rookie doesn’t produce an episode in which two middleaged women steal a police car from the Mid-Wilshire Station, go on a wild joyride through LA, and disappear in a mysterious flash of light right when they get cornered. I demand this Easter Egg storyline that Star Trek has teased me with! I mean, c’mon:

Jack + Matty’s Plan (whatever it was)

Mac might be our titular hero but Jack is absolutely the glue that binds so many of the relationships in the show together. And Jack and Matty is s really interesting one. Jack was so alarmed when he found out Matty was replacing Thornton, because of… whatever happened between Jack and Matty in the CIA. And aside from the assless chaps cold open (for which I would like to send the scriptwriters my deep and everlasting appreciation), we can only guess what all went on back then. 

Jack was plenty quick to turn Thornton in even though he and Mac spent years working close with her, including in the field. He refused to believe in Nikki’s innocence, and he and Mac were even closer with Nikki. But Matty? Jack’s trust for Matty is on a whole other level, right up there with his trust in Mac. 

I love this little scene in 2x17 where the team debates why Matty tried to lie to Mac about knowing his dad and if they can still trust her:

Mac: I can’t just ignore this. She already lied to me once.

Bozer: She can’t hide this. Jack found actual proof she was investigating your Dad.

Mac: No. We found proof Matty was compiling a dossier. We have no idea what was in the actual report.

(interrupted by Riley’s arrival but then…)

Riley: I swept through every government server and I found nothing. Either that report on your Dad is so top secret no one has access to it, or it simply doesn’t exist anymore.

Headcanon

Given a small amount of information about what James MacGyver has been up to for 15 years in regards to Mac, Murdoc would kill him for free. He would do it because it would fall under his “free human trash removal” policy, and he’d hope it would hurt the Phoenix. And also because, unlike the rest of the characters who ought to be trying harder to separate Mac from James, Murdoc wouldn’t mind if Mac’s upset over his trash father’s death, because you know, sometimes the things that are good for you are not things you enjoy, like going to bed on time or eating more vegetables. 

Just imagine if Matty had quietly slipped Murdoc just the right info around 3x3...

Ok so we’re almost on to the next rewatch episode and before we get there....  I must confess that I LOVE 2x13 for all the Jack parts. Like everything with Jack in this episode is gold. I mean, the robot apocalypse is fun, there are some really great Mac lines, and I love that Bozer’s out there having his back for once. But I love, love, love Jack’s high school reunion. I love the hilarious, over-the-top awkwardness of the whole thing. I love it because it’s like any high school reunion. Like literally, trust me here, if you’ve never been to a high school reunion? This vibe is SO accurate. 

High school reunions are a weird mind game. You’re suddenly stuffed in a room with people whose opinions deeply mattered to you when you were ~17 years old. And so what if you haven’t given those people one second’s thought in 9.5 years? (or maybe 24.5, if you’re Jack!) It doesn’t matter how long it’s been or if you’re never going to see those people again, you’re probably also going to have that sudden, desperate need to prove you didn’t turn out to be some kind of loser.

But of course Jack’s reunion is like any awkward high school reunion x100, because of course Jack has to stick with the whole “bathroom tile salesman” cover story. Matty made sure to remind us all about it right at the start of the story so we can foresee Jack’s troubles coming from miles away.

My #1 post of 2022

While I’m still talking about 2x13 I also love the scene at the end where Jack tracks down Korman. Because here’s Jack, taking on some unknown number of potentially dangerous badguys all by himself, like the badass CIA agent he used to be.

Macgyver Rewatch 2021

The rewatch returns!  From May 14th we will be starting from the beginning with 1x01 The Rising.  The pace will be more relaxed than last year, focusing on one episode a week, allowing for more time to get creative and to share fan works both old and new.

We really want this to be a fun celebration of the show we love so much and all the creative fans we have in this fandom!

Please reblog and get the word out!

MacGyver Pick Me Up

Just watched 1x01 of MacGyver for a bit of a mid writing pick me up and boy, I didn’t realise how much I missed the Phoenix crew. I mean, Jack is soooo funny and Mac also has some great lines. ‘Female repellent neckerchiefs’ had me laughing so hard.

Plus, there was a great clearwater credence revival track used over some of the action. I feel like we lost that going forwards. I’m a bit behind on the rewatch (!) but I feel like I could write ‘as I watch it’ reviews for every episode now. 

Man I miss them. Thank goodness for really good fan fiction :)

Oxygen+Pneumonia

This is the first Macgyver fic I ever wrote and @macgyverrewatch2020 inspired me to go back and edit/rewrite some parts. It is a whumpier alternative ending to 1x07 Can Opener

Enjoy!

Oh I miss them so much. Peak Mac and Jack. Communicating with just looks.

Crosscheck

a macgyver 2016 1.01 tag, but make it ice hockey. part of a series of oneshots in this au written for the macgyver rewatch 2021.

This is the first game Angus MacGyver will play after the injury that took him out the same night Nikki Carpenter was abruptly and unexpectedly traded across the country. This is also the night before Mac and everyone else will learn that Nikki's shocking trade wasn't the unavoidable betrayal by team management they'd all thought it was - and that she knows more about the devastating check that broke Mac's collarbone seven weeks ago than anyone could've predicted.

Jack doesn't know what to do. His brilliant young teammate has pushed himself back onto the ice far too soon in his recovery, the whole Nikki situation has imploded all over again, and to top it all off? His team's just signed his ex's daughter. Riley's first game offers him something he didn't expect, though. It offers him hope.

The below is a list of shows I'm watching (or planning to watch). I've been reblogging gifsets for these shows as you've most likely noticed. And I have the main shows I'm liking in the sidebar. Wanted to have this in one place in a post.

Of course, I will still be reblogging Supernatural-related content and then Merlin (BBC's Merlin). The Merlin series finale caused me to start this Tumblr, so just can't let the show go. The "Avalon" in my Tumblr name is a nod to Merlin. Really got to do a rewatch. I miss that show.

Tuesday--  This Is Us at 8 PM

My "title" for this blog is from the show-- one of my favorite scenes between Kevin and Randall (in episode 5x08). This show is so cathartic. 

Milo Ventimiglia is great as Jack. I used to watch Gilmore Girls back in the day. And loved Milo as Jess Mariano too. I was glad he had a good ending for his character on Gilmore Girls.

Superman & Lois at 8 PM -- need to watch the series premiere; will be watching one of the shows (This Is Us versus Superman & Lois) on Hulu when it's available due to the same air times

Also, will be watching The Flash (7 PM) when it returns for its 7th season on March 2nd.

Wednesday -- Riverdale at 7 PM -- stopped watching this regularly, but now during Season 5 with the time jump, I'm really liking the storyline and I'm curious to see where it leads. I especially like that Jughead is working on a book on Riverdale. I know there's drama with the ships, but I don't really ship anyone at the moment -- not heavily at least.

I like Jughead's and Archie's friendship, and I appreciate when the show has positive moments between them.

Nancy Drew at 8 PM -- missed some Season 1 episodes -- need to catch up. But Season 2 so far is pretty awesome.

I feel like this show fills the void Supernatural left when that show ended. Of course Nancy Drew is different being female-led, and having a bigger close-knit team/ group of friends. But the supernatural elements are there too, and it's helping me move on with no Supernatural.

Thursday -- Walker (2021 reboot) at 7 PM

Enjoying this show so far. I know this show is dividing Supernatural fans -- pro-Jared versus anti-Jared. I'm a Sastiel supporter (as noted in the sidebar/at the top), which most of you know already. While I wish more could've been done for the final interaction between Sam & Cas, writing and reading fix-it fanfic helps a lot. Thanks so much to my fellow Sastiel authors. 

I decided to check out "Walker" out of curiosity-- wanted to find out if I could see Cordell Walker not Sam in his performance. And I do feel Jared is doing a great job in the role. 

In the end, I just don't want to hate on Supernatural, a show that ran for 15 years -- I don't want to feel like watching all those episodes was for nothing by hating how it ended (I like how the show ended, but I know it wasn't perfect either. I've made peace with the flaws). 

With that, I will continue to watch Walker. I enjoy the dynamic between Walker and Micki.

Friday -- MacGyver at 7 PM 

Murdoc is returning in the next episode. Love him as a villain. Admittedly, I don't like Desi too much (see "MacRiley" in my sidebar/ top of this page).

BUT, I'm hopeful MacRiley will have a chance with the hints in different episodes.

Sunday -- Charmed (2018) at 8 PM 

Not a fan of certain things, but I'm curious to see how the storylines progress this season.
