Yasss I’m going to watch that episode for her! I just hope she won’t get killed off this time, okay?

Amy, please go on a show I’ll actually watch.

Please please hold off on another series in the (sadly unlikely) event that a POI spinoff will be made. Such a glam photo of her stunningly symmetric face at the top of this story! Of course I will watch anything she is in, but be a star!!

The only possible spin-of could be about the Machine in the Ghost in the shell-like future.

50-60 years in the future. The Machine still is nothing like human but she uses the personality of a woman who died a long time ago. She has a synthetic body and its designed to look like Root, because The Machine still loves Samantha Groves and will never let her go.

The Machine still sees everything, she fights for all people and AI lives with the group of her loyal followers and then BOOM! The new enemy rises. And he’s actually not new, he’s old. It’s Samaritan!

At least it’s a cool role (CIA operative). Love when Amy is cast in action/genre roles/shows, it’s her thing. I’m glad this is (hopefully?) a one time thing, though.

The original MacGyver wasn’t that bad maybe the reboot will be just as okay or hopefully decent. But yeah I’d like to see her in some badass leading role in a genre show someday.

I very much doubt that. Either way,like others have mentioned, Amy Acker deserves much better than to be resorted to the “love interest who needs to be rescued” part. I hope there is something better for her in the horizon.

I understood the description more like “a CIA agent who’s in trouble that’s why she needs to be rescued.”

And she also happens to be Nick’s love interest-ish. Because who wouldn’t fall in love with Acker? WHO? She’s so beautiful and stuff.

Sad that roles available for an actress of Acker’s caliber is of the love interest who needs to be rescued.

Such a fine actress. She does need to headline her own show. Hear that Hollywood?

I’m glad this is just a guest appearance, because this show is almost certainly going to be terrible and she deserves much better.

Now that Amy Acker is guest starring in the 2nd episode of the MacGyver remake I have a feeling that it won’t last that long.

Won’t last that long.. Welp, let’s see:

She guest starred on season 1 of Grimm – the show is still on air. She guest starred on season 1 of OUAT – the show is still on air. She guest starred on season 1 of Agents of Shield.. should I continue?

She’s sort of a good-luck charm if the show is done right.

POI got canceled only because CBS loves money too much.

POI got cancelled because Jonah was planning on killing off her character. The cancellation was inevitable. Look for yourself

Angel. Joss kills off Fred. Angel is cancelled.

Dollhouse. Joss kills off Whiskey in the future, Joss kills off Dr.Saunders replacing with Clyde. Dollhouse is cancelled.

Person of interest. Jonah is planning on killing off Root no matter what. He would’ve killed her anyway. The show is cancelled.

On Happy Town and Drive she was playing a damsel in distress/wife, so it’s no wonder the shows are no longer on air. You can’t just humiliate Illyria like this.

Think you’re confusing her with Summer Glau.

Now, if they had made Amy the new McGyver instead of the off-putting Lucas Till, I wood have watched that show.

She would make a fantastic The Pretender if there’s ever going to be the reboot of that show. She’s so much better at pretending to be different people than T.Weiss to be honest.

She would be a wonderful Miss Parker too, in a The Pretender reboot. Anyway she deserves a leading role, she’s too talented to be only a guest star.

You know spies: bunch of bitchy little girls.

This reminds me of Lucy Lawless’ stints on Tarzan, No Ordinary Family, The L Word, CSI, Locusts, Vampire Bats, Two and a Half Men and …. Celebrity Duets! You can do better Amy Acker, so very much better. And if you can’t because of Hollywood’s stupidity, then shame on you Hollywood – shame, shame, shame!
