Just watched this one again - I love how frustrated Mac is with Penny when he's made all the effort to sneak into the apartment to get the microfilm back and finds that Penny just walked in through the front door... headbutt.gif

Its not one that I have watched tons of times like most of the other episodes, mainly because Penny wears me out in that episode, though I do like her quite well in all the others. But she is over the top in this one.

I actually like the dynamic between MacGyver and Penny. It's because despite his original annoyance with her, he can see beyond that and comes to realize that she has a good nature.

I also love the facial expressions Mac has when Penny says something out of context. XD

I've finally watched this one all the way through on the new DVD's. I am not keen on Penny as a character - I guess she is the Harry Mudd or the Ferengi of MacGyver - the character they introduce when they want a lighter hearted episode. That said I did find myself smiling at some of the one liners (from memory) - small kiss from Mac - MAC "that's for luck", larger forced kiss from Penny "We need lots of luck", Panny "we're starting to think the same things" Mac "now that does worry me" - you have to listen to the dialogue closely, but if you can get past Penny's constant babbling some of the dialogue is funny enough to be worth listening closely to.

I just don't like the character Penny at all, so I'll give this one a 3/5.

Penny is a creature unto herself, but I like the show. It gives a different spin on players of the Iron Curtain!

I remembered this being a pretty forgettable episode, and Penny was never my favorite character, so I don't rewatch it much.

What I'd forgotten and really stuck out to me this time was the entire story revolving around the bad guys' Swiss bank accounts, misappropriated jewels, and frantic attempts to keep them from being exposed. Which is the kind of thing that keeps coming back in later seasons. This show really had its finger on the kind of ubiquitous petty corruption that made the Soviet Bloc (including and especially the secret polices) run. It's less riveting than stories about them funding terrorists or stealing military secrets, but given the way that corruption just exploded in a lot of these countries after 1991, probably an even more important thing to remember.
