That doesn't make much sense. How does he know what tool he might need beforehand and choose the right SAK? He should carry a Swisschamp, and XLT or Spirit and be set.

Possibly the same way Bond always seem to find uses for his gadget?

Just watched it last night.. Then had to try the teeth opening technique. It made me remember why i carry a oho knife with me as well. I kind of hope each "episode" has a resolution at the end with a brand new situation in the next episode like a lot of the old ones did. Thats why I normally cannot watch tv series. I hate being left hanging to wait a whole week. I think the girl escaping at the end left just enough to continue along the same plot without truly leaving you hanging about the immediate issue of the virus or whatever the thing was.

I'm just thrilled he's using a Climber instead of some other creation....at least one part of the old MacGyver was carried over!! :D

I just recently went over the 7 seasons of the original MacGyver TV Show.

I realized that  enjoy the show for it non linear development
-Sometimes MacGyver would fly to East Germany/Russia
-Sometimes he would stumble upon a problem just by going fishing
-Sometime the action would take place in the open nature with beautiful landscapes
-He could as well save the lives of men or of rare eagles

To me that what made the show great : a mix between Indiana Jones, James Bond and Tintin

I just watched the first episod of 2016 reboot. It was OK but I'm afraid it's gonna be as linear and boring as those heavily calibrated NCIS shows

I recently watched the season 1 episode with the soldier ants and the close up shots of the ants and the sounds they were making made me uncomfortable I had to turn it off.

Agree- NCIS started great- turned into a 'soap opera'

See I enjoyed the 2016 MacGyver premier.. it wasn't fantastic.. but it was good.  Enough homages to the original to keep a fan happy.  They did a little gender swapping for the character of Pete Thornton, turned into Patricia Thornton... yeah, whatever.. that's fine.  I guess.  Not necessary but not a transgression against the show by any means.  It has potential... but I think they need to keep the stories to either one episode each (like the original, and NOT like tv today), or keep the bigger story arcs to just 2 or 3 episodes, or perhaps come back to it half a season later to wrap up or move it along, but not make it the whole point and only story across the entire season.

That being said, I look forward to more.

Watched it on the date it was aired thanks to cable tv plus it being on Saturday night (this part of the world). Overhyped I would say with all the high expectations pre-opening. But overall it was good. Would definitely watch it again.

You guys should notice the way they are naming upcoming episodes:

Ep.2- Metal Saw
Ep.3- Wire Cutter
Ep.4- Awl
Ep.5- Toothpick

These are the only undisclosed ones so far.

I bet he's going to use a Mountaineer in tonight's episode, and a Mechanic in ep.4.

I liked the second episode better than the pilot. Just finished watching it and turns out my prevision was wrong: Mac doesn't get to use a metal saw, although strangely enough, he uses a wood saw.
The new MacGyver seems to stick mostly to a 3 layer sak.
Also, as a side note, he carries it in the watch pocket of his pants (which I do too).    :cheers:

I agree but I dont want all those episodes planned  the same way. I want to see 2016 MacGyver fall asleep and bring me to some western world from time to time like the old one. I want to see great US outdoors landscapes as much as Africa or Asia or Russia.

Hope they'll bring that back

Now I need to watch that 2nd episode :)

Mac uses a sak 5 times in this second episode.
In my opinion, they were:
Fieldmaster, or possibly Mechanic or Tinker Deluxe- 1 scene
Camper- 3 (or less probably 2) scenes
Climber- 1 (or less probably 2) scenes

I'd love it if they'd show Mac going to his knife box in the morning to pick out a SAK for his next mission.  Imagine him opening a nice cedar box with one of every model SAK inside....

I wonder why they named this episode "metal saw" when there is no connection to it in the storyline. Am I missing out on some hidden metaphorical meaning?
By the way, seems like ep.7 will be named "can opener". Can't say I'm too crazy about this naming the episode after sak tools, feels a little too silly.

Yeah I wondered that too.  I didn't see him use the metal saw on anything but may have missed it.

maybe victorinox are now trolling / or perhaps trying to get their money's worth.

afterall, the first episode didnt have some tool name...and was named due to the formation of the phoenix foundation.
