High Control
A teddy bear! Oh, noes, what is this sinister m... HEY, that's Mac! Mac, in camouflage paint. Oooh. And double ooooooh, he does that straight-legged vault over the fence that I found so strangely attractive in... season 3? I think it was the one where Jack is brainwashed. 'Brainwashed'?
First foreshadowing of Pete's eye problems. Aw.
Ahaha, Mac, you're such a sucker for a hard case. So adorable.
Question: am I supposed to know Earl Dent from a previous episode? (Note from the future: Yes, he was the biker chick's accomplice in 'Harry's Will'. Geez, my three-second memory...)
Apparently Mac has garden furniture made of plywood. And a barbeque set up in the depths of winter... is this a thing that only Minnesota natives would understand? ;)
Mac's Harley under wraps in the garage! *has many, many Sam/Mac thoughts* And, oh, bless - he wants to wear a helmet but can't because he's trying to get in with a biker gang. *noogies Mac*
Ooh, Mac in a leather jacket (albeit with one of those silly chains on), oil-smeared blue jeans, aviator sunglasses, and on a bike. And is that a slight hint of the real grey in his hair? So. Hot. ♥ And then ordering tomato juice in the rough biker bar! I couldn't love him more.
Mac's (self-chosen) biker handle, "Mechanic". Heh.
Oh, I love bad biker!Mac. He smiles at wicked things, with a little rebel-without-a-cause curl to his lip. He's so dreeeeeamy. *leans chin in hands, sighs*
I have to say, these biker dudes don't really look like they know anything about crystal meth. But, okay, rich tapestry of the criminal underworld, etc etc. *handwave*
Mac, Mac, Mac. I'm fairly sure that Biker Leader shooting that guy can make you and Earl accessory to murder, no matter how good your intentions.
Do parole officers really carry guns and stalk their parolees? Reeeeeeeeally? And if they do, bright purple is really not the best colour for sneaking around.
Locking Mac in a crystal meth lab is foolish. Hello there, explosive materials. Why do they always do this?
Hee. Mac starting them off arguing for noise cover, and then unable to get them to stop. *g*
Ah yes, what a surprise, explosives. If it's supposed to explode when someone steps on it, surely it's going to explode when Mac rubs it firmly into the floor... oh, heh - it didn't explode when stepped on. Well, okay then, fair enough. *g* Mac is so disappointed that it didn't go boom.
Mac, that is entirely the wrong side of the door to hide.
ETA:
/ETA.
This whole ep is just to give RDA fun stuff to ride, right? (Note from the future: apparently the Harley may actually have been RDA's own bike.)
Oh, Mac, you're going to have to replace that trike. At least you got to blow up something, at last. You were determined not to let that opportunity pass you by.
Okay, this ending is INSANE. Aren't parole officers part of the police system? I'm fairly sure they can't just hire ex-cons to be their partners, no matter how allegedly well they worked together (and they didn't even work well together! They spent most of the time bickering!). That's just... stupid. But hey-ho, Pete and the Phoenix Foundation can apparently persuade anyone to do anything. *handwaves vigorously*
*rewinds to Mac in his biker getup, putting on his aviators, watches in a loop* See today's
rda_daily for reference. :)
