i saw McGyver do the skull thing years ago.

Warning: this episode may offend men who don't like being portrayed as either clumsy and forgetful, or mentally disturbed. What is the point? There is no intelligence to this very poorly written and highly sexist against men episode. I'm offended. At least we didn't have to put up with that annoying assistant. The ending is horrible, but underscores the abuse that men tolerate every day. When are men going to wake up and take themselves back from the shapes that script writers and society have (or tried to have) moulded them into? Men could save themselves so much trouble if they would validate themselves instead of looking for that from women and sports. Put your lab coat on before you continue with this episode, its a really great study in conventionality and sexism, and it will anger the liberated man.

However, I find myself asking lots of questions like... how did he get those shackles off so fast? Where did he get the keys! And when you find the perp gassing himself to death, isn't it first instinct to take the gas mask off first, to stop the continuous flow of fumes BEFORE checking the carotid pulse?

It just seems as though they would have at least used scent dogs to try to find the daughter. Oh well....
