the new MacGyver

I have now seen all two episodes of the new new MacGyver! (PS Episode 2 even passes the Bechdel test!)

The thing is, it’s kind of a weird show. Concept-wise it’s got some problems, and character-wise there is a whole lot of awkward happening. On the other hand, I watched TWO EPISODES, which is two more episodes than any other show I can remember recently.

But! The best part! The pinnacle of episode 2! I present for consideration: THE ENORMOUS BOWL OF PAPERCLIPS IN THE MEETING ROOM!

1. The sole purpose of the paperclips appears to be use as a fidget toy to keep MacGyver from getting bored during the meeting.

2. He folds one into a phoenix shape, which btw is the least realistic part of the episode.

3. This could mean that they have Special Meeting Paperclips just for MacGyver.

4. He left the phoenix sitting on the table, where surely some minion snapped it up; I imagine a brisk underground trade of paperclip shapes among the lower echelons of the Foundation.

5. ENORMOUS BOWL OF PAPERCLIPS.
