There is something very fishy about MacGyver. Every episode he meets a new “hot” (I’m sorry, but no one was hot in the eighties with the possible exception of Cindy Crawford) chick, and more than half the time, he gets to kiss said “hot” chick. However, that’s where things end. James Bond woulda smooth-talked the woman into bed with some painfully corny line that would never work in real life, but not our teetotaling, anti-gun MacGyver. Oh no. He never even tries to score some tongue.
I’m unsure at this point how may episodes we’re into this MacGyver mania, but it’s enough to know something is most definitely wrong. I mean, the guy apparently didn’t even try to get it on with an old ex-girlfriend of his. My two big theories are:
- “MacGyver is gay” – This seems unlikely as the man does show some interest in women, he just never sees it through.
- “MacGyver: Victim of Chronic Impotency” – This is, perhaps, the more likely scenario as MacGyver existed before Viagara.
Just to add to the mystery, though, a couple episodes ago, we were introduced to MacGyver’s landlady/maintenance woman. Why would MacGyver of all people need a maintenance woman? Surely, a man who can stop a nuclear meltdown with little more than a Swiss army knife can unclog his own toilet. And for that matter, why did the maintenance woman go all the way over to his place just so he could cook her breakfast? And why was she wearing heels in his kitchen?
The mysteries just never end, you see, in MacGyver land.
