MacGyver: Lesson in Evil (1990)
It's a great episode
I have to disagree with the former poster about the plot holes in this episode. Yes, it is somewhat cliché and the numbers coincidentally corresponding to important things and also spelling out doctor is a bit much, but each time I watch this episode it is like watching a thriller-- of course we know how it will end but we don't know what tricks Zito has up his sleeve for the various protagonists. So love this episode, love the character of Zito, not as much as Murdoc, but just the same he's a great villain--would love to see s showdown with Murdoc, Zito and Macgyver--that would be pretty cool! Mac uses his wits to outwit Zito by getting in his head thinking what he would do, and he does a great job--yes, the script says certain things that they have to abide by, but still a really great episode, which is why the average rating is a 9 out of 10.
MacGyver: The Ten Percent Solution (1989)
comment
Sam was from Israel-he was an Israeli Jew and the actor himself was born in Israel, so he was not supposed to be German, but a Jewish man from Israel whose painting was stolen by the Nazis during WWII.
This was a great episode with awesome casting--always some humor thrown in by MacGyver even during tense situations. The recreating of the gas chamber caused chills because I had some relatives who were in concentration camps.
All in all a really good episode, and one that could actually play out even in present day America. Hatred runs rampant and there are those who think they are superior to others.
