And here I thought I was breaking some news!

As far as Pete firing a gun, the only other episode that comes to mind is the flashback MacGyver has in DOA MacGyver.

My guess is they spitballed story ideas for season 2 in the later months of season 1 and incorporated the future narrative into the show's bible. It's extremely odd though that the bible simultaneously claims MacGyver and Pete met in North Africa (confirming the camel story) AND that they met in hot pursuit of a villain in a taxicab. It's either one or the other isn't it!?!<br /><br />And interesting indeed that they ultimately decided to give Pete a son after the original plan was for him to have a daughter. I definitely like the way the "Phoenix Foundation" rolls off the tongue more than the "Tine Corporation". I also don't recall Pete's chess, poker, or tennis skills ever being mentioned....and definitely not his marksmanship. Am I mistaken or is "Nightmares" the only episode where Pete fired a gun?<br /><br />My hunch is the bible was revised at the end of every season. April 16, 1986, would have probably been right around the time that season 1 ended production and I'll bet it was written in the first couple weeks of the interim before the new season began and second season stories were being bantered about. Is this one of the four scripts you purchased or a secondary item?Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953380288384883179noreply@blogger.com
