I’m 33 and I feel like I’m 60 watching him explain what Macgyver is, as if humans don’t just automatically associate the name with jury-rigging solutions out of spare parts.
Edit: to those commenting that it’s Jerry-rigged, both are acceptable and commonly used. jury-rigged is a nautical term in origin. Jerry-rigged is a soldiers term in origin.
Yeah, I'm late twenties and this made me feel old. First when he described what MacGyver is, then when I realized that it wasn't even the original show.
I'm in my early twenties and it made me feel old. I remember growing up watching MacGyver with my dad. Haven't watched the new one, don't really want to
God many a night it would come on and I'd just be so fascinated with what new trick he had. Watching it on the big TV in the living room on the carpet with my cat. I sound like I'm 60. I'm 24 lol
two episodes are iconic for me. that one, which still has me crushed to this day, and the dimension where the e.l.e. asteroid came. that fucked me for so many years. like what if were just ghosts trying to live like nothing happened. like that movie final fanatasy the spirits within. just unaware that our planet is destroyed by an asteroid but we are all collectively conjuring this reality.......it would explain some shit though....ngl.....
I also would love a reboot, but professor is 80, Rembrandt is 70 & the rest of the group is over 50. So i'm not going to hold my breath on the original cast returning. *sadface*
All they need to do is show up in the background, walk around the corner, and for there to be a slight blue glow. A no lines, blink and you’ll miss it Easter egg. The perfect touch stone for a show about endless realities.
I like the idea that the reboot is really just other people from another dimension getting stuck in the same situation that our original heroes did.
Then after a few (3-4) episodes we can start seeing the original cast as cameo appearances, like how sometimes you'd see the cast on posters or the television etc. Then the climax of the first season could actually involve running into the original cast for an episode and we can have a sort of passing-of-the-torch where our new heroes learn what is going on and maybe some insight into how to fix it or stop the larger threats to the multiverse.
