So... you killed Jack.
ejl217916 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I'm gonna start with the episode itself. All in all we'll done. Not the story I wanted to have shown. But a story we needed for some type of closure. Over all it had all the essential requirements of a Mac episode. Especially the happy, albeit bittersweet, ending.

So, you waited to kill off Jack. I get it. Covid screwed up a lot. I get that filming in Atlanta meant George had to fly from L.A. you wanted him to relocate. He didn't want to. But it's still possible to have kept him on. Reduce his appearances etc. Jack Dalton is an integral part of the MacGyver story. And allowing this to happen only makes this show more MacGyver than Macgyver. There HAD to have been some wiggle room on the negotiation.

And for goodness sake at least call one of the thousands of military technical advisors that are undoubtedly available to your studio. Have them bring a copy of AR 670-1 along and make sure your uniforms don't look like a soup sandwich. Last time I saw uniforms that bad the guy has CSM stripes AND a star on his shoulder. If you really can't afford one. Hit me up. I'll do it for a plane ticket & hotel. (A date with Levy? Oh and for Mac to rig up an AED cause my heart will likely stop if I met her.)

Yes they do kill jack but the episode felt like the old macgyver I fell in love with. There was action And teamwork. The emotions in this episode were unbelievable And Lucas till And Tristan Mays were absolutely on fire with their performances. I lost track of how many times I cried. It was such a beautiful tribute to jack and the family he created

Best episode of season 5
cassiejohnson16 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Look, I understand that everyone is upset about Jack's death but something had to wrap up his story. George left the show and he had no plans to return. They couldn't keep him gone forever. And we both know that Jack wouldn't return but go off and retire somewhere else. He'd never abandon Riley and Mac. Those two were his family. Killing him off made the most sense. I get it hurts but they had to do it. The writer of the episode did Jack's character justice as well as his bonds with Mac & Riley. There's no one I'd rather write this episode. This is the first episode of the season that I'll actually watch more than once. That speaks volumes.

really hard to see episode for a true fan.😔
simsimsapm30 April 2021
LOVE JACK DALTON. Honestly I thought watching jack's last episode in season 3 was hard.😭 when I saw the name of the episode I thought he was coming back for at least one episode but I saw it and I just couldn't stop crying the whole episode. But the fact that they honored him was great and brought mac and riley closer since this trio of mac riley and jack was my reason to watch the show in the first place. And now one of them is gone for good #savemacgyver.

JACK'S FAREWELL
llinerosa11 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
THIS EPISODE WHAT ABOUT IT! One of the most emotional episodes of Season 5, it was emotion from beginning to end the outcome of Jack's story, ours just to remember the eyes start to fill with tears. It was an episode of great emotions and revelations, of course with a lot of action and adrenaline, as always MacGyver serving excellently.

The beginning of the episode where Jack's coffin leaves the plane this scene devastated me, I didn't want to believe that he had died, and died in a heroic way, as Jack will always be remembered as a Hero.

At that moment, the whole family together reminiscing about moments with him, it was emotional.

Now Riley crying thinking about Jack, it was a beautiful scene to Tristin she gives herself body and soul, the scene and the character gave it all away, the moment she is playing Skeball and the Mac arrives, the scene of the two is fascinating, it's beautiful to see the perfect and unique chemistry, actors Tristin Mays and Lucas Till, you are the heart and soul of the series, all their scenes in this episode are flawless, chilling and emotional, our hero couple.

Now the most EXCITING moment that made me cry like a child was the moment when Mac goes to the bathroom on the plane, and cries a lot for Jack's death, there Lucas delivered himself in a spectacular way, an Oscar-worthy performance, really was the touching and striking.

So sad
lboom231 August 2022
I have to say that I really loved this show when Jack was in it, but they really messed up when they replaced him & this episode was heartbreaking! I was upset when he left but was hoping he would come back! The worst part was when they brought in Desi! I didn't like her or her attitude when she arrived, but then she becomes Macs girlfriend & turns into a whining, annoying pain in the butt! I think that's why the show didn't last longer! If they had kept Jack, they probably could have lasted a few more seasons! He was a huge part, but they just threw him away! Bad choice!

Really Had a Problem with Military Dispays as Shown.
mroldstyle200219 January 2021
Being an "old timer (1969-71), I really had a problem with the Military Ranks/Courtesy as shown during Jack's Funeral. Desi is wearing E-5 Stripes and McGyer is an SP4 with a CIB (Combat Infantry Badge). For having the talents they do, the ranks really seem out of place (they should be higher). McGyver walks around the "reception" with his jacket unbuttoned, his tie pulled down, and collar open, and then talks to a (apparent) General as though personal friends dressed sloppily. Maybe the military has changed that much, but I don't think so. The whole episode lost credibility with that scene.

Loved this show when it was Mac and Jack, but now...
CrimeDrama116 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The show is not the same. A true fan knows why Jack's character was dropped WAY before this episode. Sure, they owed him a salute but they went about it the wrong way. Mac and Jack were a team within a team and that wasn't highlighted at all in this episode. Bojana Novakovic is a great actress, I loved her on "Instinct" but she lost her Serbian accent many years ago. Her accent in this episode was obviously fake. Plus, she wasn't a good choice to portray an evil villain. It wasn't believable that she was a crooked Interpol agent. I still like the show but it is not the same knowing what they did with Jack's character.

I hate all of you writers and producers
lucasj007-478-44626216 January 2021
You killed the only character that was even worth watching this show. I watch it because MacGyver because of Jack and I continued watching it so I could make fun of the bad writing and rip it. But now! Now! I hope you cancel this crap.
