Been working on this since last week when news of MacGyver’s cancellation dropped.  I spent way too much time procrastinating.

[dreambelievergeek]

Asking everyone from all the various fandoms I’m in to please help the MacGyver fandom save our show by signing and sharing this petition. It’s really appreciated!  We already have over 17k in just a week! Thank you!

Definitely keep going!

This doesn’t look like a cast who wants us to stop fighting. So we must continue to fight for them! If y’all haven’t checked out savemacgyver.com I suggest you go do that! It has so many ways we can make our voices heard. We need all hands on deck.

Revenge for Lenkov. It’s as simple and horrible as that.

My brain knows in theory there’s no point in being angry about lower-rated or more expensive CBS crime shows being renewed, but it’s still disappointing.

Remember when SWAT had been pushed to midseason before the pandemic hit? Then it was the first show back in production and got to film 18 episodes. Kudos to them. Also, SWAT is paid for by Sony and doubles its ratings in DVR. 

But what’s Bull’s excuse? It cost CBS millions to keep the scandal hush-hush (only to come out anyway) and it doesn’t even do well internationally. Also was shut down several times when back to filming in NY (which is a lot more expensive to film in than Atlanta).

SEAL Team (renewed last year despite lower ratings) is produced inhouse so must cost CBS a lot more than SWAT. It’s also a lot more expensive to produce than a show with less action and CGI (e.g. Bull). I guess a military show looks good on the portfolio or why else are they renewing it every year despite low ratings? It also has its 3rd showrunner by now after several minor scandals. And it’s not easy to sell internationally because Europe doesn’t care much about US military shows.

Sometimes it feels like Kelly (CBS president) just renews what the likes…  also note that all CBS shows renewed yesterday are led by males while the two lower-rated female-led shows are still in limbo… (and one will probably be axed).

Diversity and renewing diverse shows only seems to work when the shows are co-produced (e.g. Magnum, SWAT, The Equalizer).

[dreambelievergeek]

It’s called revenge. CBS didn’t like that Lenkov was outed. He’s part of the click with the big wigs.

I just think its a slap in the face that cbs would renew a show where the lead actor made a rape joke to a co-star and still keep his job, and cancel the show where the actors risked their careers to get an abusive producer held accountable and fired.

I hope someone else sees the hypocrisy here.

I’m over on Twitter and it really is a roller coaster but one that will have a thrilling end when we #SaveMacGyver.

Y'ALL GO WATCH TRISTIN AND LUCAS'S IG STORIES

If you don't know what's happening on Twitter... Imma update you a bit.

We've been fighting like hell there. It's like fighting a freaking virtual war.

It's been a rollercoaster of emotions and emotions take a toll on a person. Specially if you're trying to tweet a hashtag as much as you can during the day.

Reminder that we aren't a big fandom, even if A LOT of fans made themselves Twitter accounts to help with the fan campaign.

But just when things get better: the hashtag starts trending (because there are fans tweeting literlly 24/7 since last Wednesday), the media acknowledges us (thanks to fans that spent all weekend contacting everyone), action is taking place (thanks to the fans that immediately after the announcement got the idea to start a petition and send paperclips), the cast and crew send their love via likes and sneaky RTs or IG stories, the writers take down the "goodbye" tweet...

Just when things get better, on Tuesday the promo pics for the finale get released and they shook us to the core because suddenly another week has gone by and we're closer to the finale and the cancelation is suddenly VERY REAL (although MacGyverCBS has yet to make an official announcement).

Just when we recover energies today (Wednesday) after resting and taking care of our mental health (it's difficult to keep a good mental health in a big group because one person's emotion can sway everyone's emotions for better or for worse) then we see that the set they rented to film said goodbye to MacGyver after 5 years but now the building was free.

And behind the scenes we're trying to organize rallies, watch parties, be all over the internet, recruit other fandoms, recruit our own fandom, search for prices for advertisments, billboards, baners, see what other shows have done to save theirs, send emails EVERYWHERE, TWEETING AMIDST ALL THIS, call offices to confirm internet information, produce compelling edits, produce content in general, talk to each other, be each other's strenght, trying to come up with new ideas while your coffee is running low at late hours of the night...

All of that is happening and it's a hard battle but then again we are not alone because when we were overwhelmed by the media attention and suddenly having success which a bunch of people quickly wanted to rebuke ("what you're doing is pointless") Meredith posted a picture of herself with a lot of paperclips.

After all the promos yesterday she also posted right before bedtime a comforting RT to a fan that comforted us all.

After all the emotions today, Lucas and Tristin team to share those stories.

And we know if they could they would be supporting the campaign very publicly but we have to understand, WE DO UNDERSTAND that they are doing AS MUCH AS THEY CAN.

Like, these litttle posts are literally as much as they can do and it honestly, it's enough for me.

Not only them but Monica and the rest of the crew are on this too.

That Monica hasn't said a single word this whole week about the campaign (nothing more than a bunch of likes) it's because they're working on saving MacGyver in their end too.

Well... I needed to vent. As you can see.

The conclusion is... er...

We're all in this together?

The conclusion is, it's going to be a long fight so let's not give up. EVEN WHEN WE'RE FEELING DEFEATED, LET'S NOT GIVE UP.

Networks can look like big monsters that cannot be taken down from their pedestal BUT IT'S BEEN PROVEN WRONG SEVERAL TIMES.

The answer is in our determination.

If you're feeling sad, anxious, upset or optmistic, relaxed, motivated... You are allowed to FEEL AS MUCH AS YOU WANT. That's good, that's what makes us human. FEEL and be grateful that you can feel!

And then, after you've allowed yourself to feel, remember to not give up.

Please share this!! Make some noises!! And share the link for the petition!!

[dreambelievergeek]

Oh yeah!!

After watching this week’s MacGyver episode (5x12) in which we learn about Desi’s ex-fiancé, Evan, whose body was never found, here’s what I think should happen:

The team are on a mission and after they find that week’s macguffin and defeat the bad guys they are checking the rest of the building. Desi finds a locked door, goes through and BAM there he is - Evan!

Imprisoned for years, thought dead and accidentally abandoned by the people who loved him - including Desi who feels horribly guilty and breaks things off with Mac so she can help with Evan’s recovery.

But during Evan’s debrief he mentions sharing a cell for a time with some American guy who kept calling him Hoss.... and when they figure out the timeline they realize it was after Jack was supposed to be dead.

And that can kick off a whole new story arc. Which, coincidentally, will throw Mac and Riley together more as they search for Jack.
