I think Sam/MacGyver could be interesting, especially since she once used his name as a verb. It could be kinda funny. You know what would be really funny if Geek!Sam met Mac when he was in his Dexter disguise. I don't know why I love Geek!Sam so much.
I'll tell you a secret some people may want pummel me for. I don't think Mac has a whole lot of personality. I did really watch MacGyver when it first came on. Magnum, the A-Team, and Fallguy were the action shows I was into in the 80s. When the dvds came out I bought and watched the first 4 seasons like a good RDA fan. I was kinda surprised at how boring Mac was to me, because everybody gushes about how awesome he is. As cool as it would be to hang out with some that can make all kinda crap out of nothing his goody-two-shoe-ness would really drive me nuts after a while.
Wow, that really turned ranty.
MS has never really been physically attractive to me. His eyebrows bug me to no end. He seems like he could be really charming, but at the same time he seems like he could be a complete ass. I wasn't in the SG fandom when he left the show, but when I later read about it (and what I read could be complete here-say and biased) there was something about the way he left and some things he said in interviews that really rubbed me the wrong way and I really have not cared for him since. That and I think some crazy obsessive Daniel fans that have accosted me at cons and various other places for not bowing down at the altar of St. Daniel or at the very least slash Daniel and Jack that has really tainted my perception of MS and Daniel. It's sad because I really connect to Daniel in the Stargate movie. I actually found some drawings I did at the time and one of them had a girl wearing the Eye of Ra.
Dude, I went ranty again.
Must stop.
PS- I owe you a meme that I hope I'll post this weekend. I wait until I made a trip to my parents to collect some visual aids. : )
You owe me a meme? Cool! *has a memory like a sieve* I've forgotten what it is, but, visual aids? Yay! *g*
And yeah - Mac is rather goody-two-shoes, as you say. Not to my usual tastes. I do want to hug him and squish him and look after him, though. Also, he gets angsty on occasion. :) There was a bit in one I watched recently, though, that really made me laugh. Someone was spying on Mac, and had made a list of his activities, and it was so unbelievably, nauseatingly good...
Hee. I watched the A-Team, and Knightrider (had such a crush on David Hasselhoff! *can laugh about it now*). I don't think they played MacGyver over here... or if they did, I didn't see it. Oh, and CHiPS. Watched that a lot. *g* Ah, the 80s... what terrible and yet strangely loveable guff was produced... (I've tried to watch the A-Team in more recent years, but MY GOD is it dire.)
And I do know what you mean about MS. I'm leaning more towards liking him at the moment, but I get the feeling he can be quite a pain, particularly in his more actorly moments. He gives the impression that he might just count his lines (i.e. how many he's got, as compared to how many everyone else has). But then, I also think he's aware of that side of himself - that's what his blog makes me think, anyhow, so hence my liking him more at the moment.
And, that said, I bet RDA can be a pain, too, in his flakier moments - but I'm a lot more inclined to forgive him. Eh.
(Rant all you want! I like talking about all this stuff.)
Ack, didn't managed to get to that meme. I had a little too much fun at the concert I went to Saturday and thus felt particularly lazy Sunday.
I really remember Mac had the elaborate chemistry set to make no alcoholic eggnog and his grandfather being, "WTF, there's not point to it then is there?"
Yes, unfortunately the A-Team doesn't hold up well over time. It makes me sad. I have heard talk of an A-Team movie at one time and that George Clooney really wanted to play Hannibal which I think would be awesome.
Yeah, I bet RDA could be tough to work with especially for 'serious' actors. I'd probably be pretty annoyed with his improvising, but it seems to work quite well for him. While I'm not fond of prying into celebrities lives (until they're dead I guess. I love biographies.), I really wonder about RDA. He seems very contradictory in some of his aspects. I'd really like to get into his head. (Un)Fortunately, he's not popular enough in the mainstream for someone to do an expose on him.

Yes: even Mac's grandfather thinks he's too good. *g* I saw that one. Why the hell anyone would drink eggnog, alcoholic or not, is beyond me. Ergh. Mac seems to have a variety of disgusting drinks, often in large containers, barrels, giant plastic cartons, industrial blenders, etc. I dread to imagine his fridge.
George Clooney as Hannibal, ZOMFG! Hahaha! That would be excellent. They could have cast Jim Carrey circa Ace Ventura as Murdoch.
And, yeah, I was wishing I could read an official biography or such on RDA. He's just... he's really interesting. Lots of people seem to want to analyse him, I've noticed. I do, too. I wonder why that is? Maybe because he seems quite enigmatic.
