MacGyver: Code + Artemis + Nuclear + N3mesis (2020) Season 4, Episode 9

This episode was disappointing & lowered my expectation for the series!

[1/10 · 15 September 2020]

At the start of the episode, a trio of female hackers are portrayed as selfish millennials who try to do good but fail miserably. But, two of them finally aspire to stop the catastrophe that their missing partner in crime has caused by her ill-fated decision to teach the world a lesson on the horrors of nuclear energy.

Sadly, her actions result in at least one death. The part that disappointed me was the jailhouse visit by one of her former hacker friends. During that visit, no mention was made of the death that she caused. No remorse for her actions. Just smiles and reminiscing about the good ole days. Hollywood continues to sink to new lows!

Walking Tall: Lone Justice (2007 Video)

Unbelievable and forgettable!

Combine a poorly-written script with unrealistic action sequences for a movie that would rate better than this one did. Fortunately for Kevin Sorbo, his fans won't care. They'd be happy watching him finger-paint for two hours. I like the man but his willingness to accept most any role just to get screen-time is shameful.

Most great actors usually have some regard for quality before accepting a role. Not Kevin. As long as he gets to use his fists, but doesn't have to think much, he's happy. But, if common sense or critical thinking skills are required, the role doesn't fit his brand of stereotype. Needless to say, I won't be rushing to watch his next film.

The Cape (1996–1997)

The Cape was a great show canceled before it's time by so-called network geniuses.

Unfortunately for viewers, their votes don't count. Shows get canceled due to studio politics. The producers don't invest enough time & money selling new shows to generate enough sponsor support. And, residuals aren't paid on new shows (not in the contract). Thus, great shows get canceled. If production executives, network presidents & studio owners cared about the viewers more than their own paychecks, shows might last long enough to generate a supportive audience. Instead, new shows are launched with limited fanfare, the shows creators are already working on their next big thing, and viewers are left wondering what just happened. Network execs. don't care when a show gets canceled. They just want the bottom line on profits. Thus, we (the viewers) are cheated out of great entertainment. Too bad the networks aren't owned by the viewers...things would change for the better. But, that will NEVER happen. Too bad. I miss The Cape and all other great shows like it, that are systematically replaced by less-appealing shows that cost less to produce. Follow the money, and you can prove this to yourself.
