i had to vote poor for her. I have nothing against the actor who plays her just the way she acts in this episode. One thing that bothers me is that she seems to know so much about the building even where the controls for the emergency fans are in the gas leak room however she doesn't know what the gas is. Second she just kisses mac out of the blue. Lastly she doesn't listen to mac when he tells her to stay behind and she ends up coming in the room anyway and getting shot.

The gas thing could possibly be explained by the gases used would change depending on what the research was, and being that the facility probably had multiple projects running it would make sense that she wouldn't know what gases they where using by other departments at the time. But if she had worked in there at some stage on her own projects, then she would know the layout of the controls. *shrugs* maybe?

I didn't really have a problem with her, she seemed able to keep up with MacGyver and I have to say she did seem better than some of the women he would encounter later in the show.

I must agree with MACGYVERISMYDAD about Spencer not lisiting to MacGyver, it really bugged me that she had to go in there after him. She should have listen to Mac.

I'll give her an OK, if it had not been for her look she would have got an average.

I like her.
She is brave – she doesn't run, she stays to help others.
She keeps her cool and yes, she has a mind of her own.
And thinking along with Mac, she comes up with the cold capsules.
The kiss is understandable. She probably thought they wouldn't make it, so grabbed her chance to kiss a handsome bloke, maybe the last one in her life.

I voted OK, because although there were some inconsistencies with whoever wrote her part in the script, she is a good actress.

sak.gif She seen Mac as an interloper in her facility and under-estimated Mac and his scientific knowledge. She had a grudging respect for him by the end of the episode.

I liked her, nothing special though. Definitely not one of the most memorable characters.

I agree with most of you... she was nothing special in the show and her acting was weird.

I voted ok, though, because she is a thing of beauty (she is my type, obviously!)
