Is that all of the things that Mac did were supposed to be technically plausible.
I don't think this show can make that same boast.
I don't think anyone, let alone Samantha Carter, is going to be calling this guy McGadget.
Brains are good, especially when sauteed with caramelized onions.
I think the only thing I ever saw MacGyver do that wasn't plausible was the one ep where the Phoenix Foundation headquarters were attacked, and he had to blast his way out of a sealed lab with a capsule full of potassium dissolved in water. Yeah, potassium will react strongly when dropped into water, but it will not explode like a brick of C4, much to the peace of mind of chem teachers everywhere.
shareI don't remember that episode, but I'll agree with you, unless the capsule weighs something like 100 lbs.

Yeah they disproved that one on Mythbusters.

IIRC, it wasn't potassium, it was sodium.

Modern writers can't be bothered with facts, in spite of having access to everything at their fingertips.

Sounds like my kids - it's easier to ask me something then to type it into google!
