Lulu really wasn't attractive at all, neither visually nor as a character. Penny Parker has a different vibe, Lulu was just ... stupid. <br />I guess it's one of those episodes that tried to branch MacGyver into comedy but it doesn't work.Mykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425166821300360716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-1413358005085638132020-04-16T11:44:35.798-05:002020-04-16T11:44:35.798-05:00Was the "Speakeasies" restaurant filmed ...Was the "Speakeasies" restaurant filmed inside a real restaurant or was that a studio set?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-1545747992779592422018-01-07T04:49:48.848-06:002018-01-07T04:49:48.848-06:00I'm not a fan of this one.

But my husband and I have just rewatched 'Easy Target' and we were wondering if the scene at the end of that episode with EMP machine on the truck was filmed at the same location as the bike ride scene at the start of 'The Lost Amadeus'. According to the location guide on RDA's website they weren't filmed at the same location, but we had a chuckle when we looked at the bike ride scene location on google maps street view. Look at 4498 NW Marine Drive Vancouver (looking approx east just before intersection with Sasamat St) on street view and you will see a newer version of Mac's jeep driving along the street right next to the exact trees which are in the foreground of the bike riding scene - haha, what were the chances of that?!Richttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655445702969979369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-42505940764051798302017-08-09T18:08:46.183-05:002017-08-09T18:08:46.183-05:00You say it's a plot hole when Lulu uses the ma...You say it's a plot hole when Lulu uses the mall cop's handcuff key to open the handcuffs that Tubbs used on them, but don't all handcuffs use the same key?

The '30's/'40's speakeasy could be something that Penny has come across while trying to get her acting career started.

The first half of this is an absolute train wreck, but the second half is pretty redeeming, and I did feel some warm fuzzies there.<br /><br />Lulu is extremely obnoxious and not even attractive. She is Penny Parker times a million. Is this character even remotely realistic. Ugh, she is awful. I would rather spend time with Rachel from Prometheus and Cindy Finnegan from Obsessed.<br /><br />This one did solve some lost memories I had. I was thinking the other day about a scene that took place upstairs in a shop. I wondered if it was even MacGyver. I thought it was a jewelry shop and involved the East Bloc, but apparently not. I think this one is it. Herb Edelman is always good for absurd chuckles. Is he related to Randy?<br /><br />I dare say that this may be at the bottom of my list. Honest Abe is way better and the Mountain of Youth is at least a few slots up. Not many left to watch again before I can start my list!Mikeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-79922751439242487932015-09-25T18:22:14.785-05:002015-09-25T18:22:14.785-05:00Wilt appeared to be a neighbour at MacGyver's ...Wilt appeared to be a neighbour at MacGyver's houseboat marina, which we don't get to see (or know of) until now.

The villains weren't very threatening and the action in the Speakeasy club was poorly done especially Tubbs trying to shoot Mac and then running out of bullets and suddenly climbing the fountain thing! Really?! Lulu was a crazy whirlwind and although I didn't like the inklings of romance thrown in, she did give an energy to the episode that it would have lacked with a more stable character! The actress who played her was also in two early episodes of Stargate, as was the actor who played Wilt. That brings me to something puzzling; why was Wilt introduced as a 'real' character and friend of Mac when his first appearance was in the dream episode Serenity as an enemy? Am I missing something?Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-50654623037648630612014-09-15T00:47:56.602-05:002014-09-15T00:47:56.602-05:00And again we're on the same wavelength here as...And again we're on the same wavelength here as the episode was annoying throughout, even beyond the presence of scatterbrained Lulu. This series' need to keep MacGyver surrounded by bubbleheaded women characters was an insult to MacGyver and to women in general.
