Greatest MacGyvers of Science Fiction

April 8th, 2008   Filed Under Misc News  

A nice fun article from io9 which gives a list of science fiction’s greatest MacGyver’s. I’ve picked this one out not just because of my love of MacGyver but they do mention something else Stargate! It’s Stargate: Atlantis and they’ve picked out Rodney McKay as one of the greatest MacGyver’s of science fiction. Personally I would have gone for Sam Carter, but hey!

Rodney McKay famously asks “What am I, MacGyver?” in this spin-off from the Richard Dean Anderson-starring Stargate SG1. But he actually does work technological marvels at regular intervals, making sense of Ancient technology. He built an atomic bomb for his sixth-grade science project. Not to mention, in “Condemned,” he totally one-ups Scotty when he says it’ll take two days to cobble together a new “Dial-Home Device” from secondary systems… and then downgrades that estimate to ten minutes in a pinch.
