201: '''The Human Factor''' ''[[1986]] [[September 22]]''


(First watched 2007-06-24)  Decent setup, but it reminds me of the first episode of [[MacGyver Season 1|last season]].  That is, no real "bad guy", just Mac against a secure building gone wrong.  In this case it's in the form of a security test which goes wrong, so things become really lethal.  I enjoyed the defense robots which looked like short cheap plastic Daleks, though the closest they got to "EXTERMINATE!" was the computer using the word "eliminate".

Trick of the show: The improvised rocket/battering ram to knock down a door was pretty useful.

203: '''Twice Stung''' ''[[1986]] [[October 6]]''
(First watched 2008-09-something)  They try to con the con-man... but basically end up framing them for a different situation?  Doesn't seem very legal.
Trick of the show: Getting a woman to open her shirt when she thinks he needs her buttons for a real trick?
