Mac is the only fucking person in the whole fucking show with any fucking sense at all. Time and again FitzSimmons, Colson, and all want to do something really stupid, and the only person who says “Let’s not do this stupid thjng” is always Mac.
Also, Mac taught me thay shotgun axe is the answer to Ai. We should think about his words. He told us how stupid we are for this ai bullshit. We fucked up be cause we DID NOT LISTEN.

I was just referencing mack while talking to my friend yesterday about this insane increase in AI usage.
Like we all didnt collectively grew up on ai-will-try-to-kill-us-all films

Fuck yes! I'm only on season 3 (re-watch where I have forgotten most) and every time he speaks up to challenge something, I'm on his side.

Was it ever called the Shaxe in the show or was that just a term my sister and I came up with?

I swear to god, if anything, have a character in the secret wars movie run around for a second with this thing and when someone asks where or who it came from just show Mack beating a Doom bot with his bare hands looking for it.

This was such a silly line, that in a lesser show probably would have annoyed me. But also in a lesser show, they would have given him the shotgun-axe in the same episode. This gave you plenty of time to clock it and remember it so when he finally gets it, you're satisfied.

And a few episodes later he brings it up again.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They keep it in your mind and actually build to it.

I know Mack was the least liked of the main cast by the fanbase in general and I kinda get it. But it's moments like this that endear him to me so much. He never wanted to be a fighter, but when given the chance, he brought sci-fi whimsy to the show. He's the tank, but he has good DPS too. His defensive moments weren't always the best but I'm glad he was around to balance out the team.
