MacGyver’s poisoned by spies and seeks help from runaway Lisa Allen [SPECIAL GUEST: Tammy Lauren!]
MISSION: Enemy agents inject MacGyver with a deadly serum and withhold the antidote until he returns sensitive military information he has stolen. He has six hours to get word to DXS where the information is hidden and to get the antidote before the toxin becomes incurable. Luckily, he happens upon the assistance of runaway Lisa Allen.
This week’s highlights include:
SPECIAL GUEST: TAMMY LAUREN!
This week, special guest Tammy Lauren (Alexandra Amberson from Wishmaster, Detective Maggie Sullivan from The Young and the Restless), puts in a call to the Foundation, Urgent 101! She tells us about her early career joking around with Robin Williams as a kid, and getting teased on the MacGyver set by Mr. Dean Anderson himself.
The S.S. Lane Victory’s film credits can be found here! (Featuring two Tammy Lauren projects and one Patrick O’Riley project.)
Magnetostriction (Physics)
The alignment of magnetic domains determines the strength and polarity of a given magnet. This magnetism can be amplified and altered in several ways, for example: banging a pole against a fire hydrant while pointing it exactly magnetic north.

MacGyver n’est pas si facile à tuer (heureusement pour Lui et pour nous) !
There’s an interesting mistake when the bad guys are waiting in the car and Neilson, while waiting in the car, says “Colton is going to make the pickup”, as if he realised that Dana Elcar’s character is not Colson anymore and corrected himself mid-word. In the Hungarian dubbed version this was corrected to Thornton.
I don’t know why Neilson didn’t try to help his case by explaining MacGyver the effects of the serum before he injected it while he was asking for the list and I liked that MacGyver refused without even asking in spite of his apprehension.
I think when Neilson said that the serum was specifically designed for MacGyver, he meant components mixed in to cause disorientation and amnesia to rob him of his brain power.
