The puzzles are fun, the mechanisms are clever (although a bit unrealistic) and especially the tree of life mechanism is really good (although using the staff of Ra to push on the plate or pretty much any stick should do the trick instead of going into the trouble of boiling the water and waiting for it to condense).<br />The professor was a little off for me, he changed way too quickly (as is always the case when you only have a space of 45 minutes) but otherwise, no complaints from me.<br />And yes, I also like the snow cat but the engine sound like it was taken from a tiny scooter.Mykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425166821300360716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-8020843669211793492020-03-12T10:54:03.794-05:002020-03-12T10:54:03.794-05:00It gets worse when you realize that the stone is s...It gets worse when you realize that the stone is slowly sinking into the hole they were in. Had Angus not figured out the deal with the switches in the glyphs on their tomb's walls, the stone would have eventually slid over them, burying them alive painstakingly slowly.Bahawmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10902870959316135410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-71992270749159628772019-09-08T23:05:15.510-05:002019-09-08T23:05:15.510-05:00Wow, great comment!

Macgyver states that he knows him and says his name in the tomb, and Hakim immediately recognises him at the start. If I'm right, it adds more depth to the villain side of the episode due to the conversation between Macgyver and Hakim in Passages about Osiris.

Don't get smart with your mother! :)<br /><br />"I normally don’t think of myself as a claustrophobic person, but the scene toward the end where MacGyver, Beth, and the Professor are lying on their backs with a wall no more than three inches above their head makes me feel claustrophobic. I don’t even like thinking about it—let’s move on." <br /><br />I know!!!! ACK! Yes let's move on! sonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13188318119543067012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-84241195037149307882016-03-17T04:51:04.767-05:002016-03-17T04:51:04.767-05:00This felt like a season 1 episode with the treasur...This felt like a season 1 episode with the treasure hunt plot, generic Asian/Turkish/Egyptian militia, over-the-top villain and ambitious but ultimately creaky looking set. Perhaps trying to mix Turkey and Egypt in Canada with Alexander The Great and a hammy Von Leer brother was a little bit much! I did really like the statue of Ra that was dug up and the statue of Anubis in the temple, they were almost Stargate prop prototypes, and it was nicely familiar to hear Richard saying "Anubis" a few times too in preparation for his battle against the so named baddest of baddies in SG-1! The tree of life opening mechanism was also a very ingenious idea, although like all the episodes where MacGyver figures out cryptic archaeology instead of the experts it did rather devalue the professor. I'm glad someone else noticed Beth's voice sounded strange, it reminded me of those moments in season 1 when MacGyver's mouth didn't say the words he spoke!

And I found nothing about the episode remotely slapstick. The exposition at the beginning was dry at times, but the layering of the story and the ultimate significance of the "blue eye" and the four elements working together to open the lock mechanism was MacGyver at its most brilliant. This episode was a treasure....and I ranked it #22.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953380288384883179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-48497100134532938312014-03-03T10:23:27.091-06:002014-03-03T10:23:27.091-06:00Glad I'm not the only one who felt claustropho...Glad I'm not the only one who felt claustrophobic there - makes me feel more normal! <br /><br />Interesting idea about dubbing, I hadn't thought of that.

Glad they fell to freedom before they (or I) had a chance to panic about it.<br /><br />I also agree about Beth. Plus, for most of this ep, her voice sounds almost dubbed in. It's just... a bit odd. (Although she's not the only character on the series to sound that way. It seems to happen with the kids in other countries, too.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
