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.)
