Paper clips rule: MacGyver trumps Jack Bauer as hero.

*laughs and laughs and laughs*

Even funnier: the pic of RDA on the webpage of the Sydney Morning Herald is not from MacGyver at all, but SG1!

And I mentioned both in my answer to last week's [livejournal.com profile] ljdq!

Interesting... although I would probably have to say John McClane. I mean... Bruce Willis. C'mon.

(Now, if I needed a terrorist tortured, Bauer would be my pick.)

What's McClane do in Die Hard 4? I haven't seen that yet. All I know is that Mac guy is in it or something.

He runs a car into a helicopter. IN MIDAIR!

Hey, btw, those eps I downloaded? They're rar files, so how the heck do I view em?

You have to download winRar and UnRar them.

Have you seen the new SGA promos?

I have winrar, but there's not all of the rar bits there.

Where did you find the files?

And yes, at Gateworld :)

oh bother. I'll have to send you the links when I get home, because they're under a friend's f-locked post and I don't have access to that f-lock just now.

I honestly thought they were individual files and just many different links.

Apparently not -- and no rush, I don't have time to watch anything right now anyway ;)

I'd think some of it would depend on the age of the respondents, as I'd think a lot of younger adults wouldn't even have seen McGyver - not sure that I've seen that many reruns of it here in the US. Other shows, yes. But I don't typically see MyGyver pop up.

And I definitely don't think I'd be choosing McClane in a crisis. He's too ... don't know. Actually I'm surprised Jack Bauer rated so lowly, but I guess he's not everyone's cup of tea. Much more the darker side of getting things resolved - and of course there's the fact that if you're on his side you're just as likely to wind up dead.

I guess who I'd choose depends on the emergency - though that's likely why McGyver did so well. Because he's such a generalist, he could help out no matter what the problem. Many of the choices would only be useful in very limited situations.

A very practical answer! :)

With you no doubt thinking that it was a very stuffed shirt sort of answer! Came out a bit more seriously than I'd intended.

Well, I didn't want to say... :D

*hugs*

Good to see you around, btw.

*tries to picture Sel not saying what she's thinking*

*fails*

*runs*

;-)

And yes, I'm around a bit at the moment. Work isn't horribly frantic, though it appears as though that could be about to change with some customer likely to go into crisis mode. Ah well, it's why they pay me I suppose.

I'm practising being tactful and discreet. :D

*waits for Rob to stop laughing*

LJ's gone pretty quiet in the last six to eight months. At least, my section of the internet's gone all silent. End of SG1, I guess.
