A surprising admission, posted evidence so far notwithstanding!

Do let us know how the search for the other half goes.  :-)

Red herring city.  There have been continuity errors -- probably no more
than in many other shows, but we notice it more because there's a single
huge day-sequential story arc at stake and because we're eagle eyed
SOB's.  (Who gives a damn if MacGyver changes license plates!) 

And of course the 'sainthood' crack is just standard Newell-Post(TM)
material.  If Lynch/Frost really did go out of their way to plug another
ABC show, it's hardly grounds for beatification!  Damnation would be
more like it.

Anyway, *I*'m the one with half a brain for encouraging GN with a
followup, but the opening was too good to pass up :-)
