    He mentioned "my dad" in the trailer.

    I assume his dad is MacGyver.

    Dude whose last name is MacGyver might have a MacGyver for a dad? Yeah, probably.

    I never liked the convention of calling a person nearly exclusively by their last name. Do people actually do this? I've never done so nor seen it happen myself. I certainly would correct someone if they tried it on me. Castle is a prime recent example, to the point I can't even remember what his actual first name is.

    Yes. Especially in areas where your job title (military rank, professional accredidation, etc.) are super important, or when there's more than one of you around with the same first name (my company has ... uh, 4 Davids?).

    And then, of course, people who are around that for a long time bring that tradition elsewhere, and it spreads.

    The calling people by their last names is a military thing that occasionally extends into other branches of government and civil employment where there is a quorum of ex-military people. MacGuyver spent years working for such a government agency before working for the Phoenix Foundation.

    (There's also plenty of ex-military people who hate it, and I've heard last names referred to as "slave names" by sailors on more than one occasion.)

    Most of my coworkers call me by my last name, I think its neat.

    Richard/Rick is Castle's first name. Military people tend to go by last name, as do police and emergency workers I believe. Also sometimes if you have a common first name and work with people who also have that name you go by a more unique moniker. Though if your name is John William Rodriguez well you're fucked in life.
    Eh. We'll just call him Bob.

    Yes. All the time. Doesn't even have to have anything to do with the military and such things people mention above.

    Hell, it was a big thing back when I was younger in my area and tons of kids went by their last names.

    Not a guarantee though!

    Probably leaving it out there if they can get OG Macguyver on board, but leaving it vague in case Richard Dean Anderson has literally anything else in the whole world to do. PLEASE HAVE SOMETHING ELSE TO DO RDA!

    And yeah Mayo that's where Burn Notice got the whole idea of explaining what you're doing from. That was the whole point of Maguyver, he explained the method while he was using bubble gum, a failed pregnancy test, and the constitution to make a cold fusion device.

    Well, he was willing to do MacGyver for a terrible webisode car commercial as recently as 2012. So it's probably on the table.

    While I doubt it's canon, in this he has a daughter.
    Also the voiceover reminds me of Magnum PI.

    During my military days we, enlisted, would use first names when hanging out off duty to indicate rank doesn't matter when hanging out for fun.

    more 1989ish than 1983, but it's done with more sincerity than I expected it to be. So good job team!

    Where I work there are six people with my first name, luckily I've gone by a nickname for most of my life -- but the rest of us we call by last name.

    Like most of Hollywood, they picked only one thing from what they are rebooting to carry over and it was the wrong thing.

    The hair just looks terrible, and other than the name I didn't get MacGyver from the trailer at all.

    And what they could have done is just recreated the original's opening credits with scenes from the new thing, I would have been all over that. You know what? I'm going to go over to Netflix and watch some of the original right now.

    They could still fix the show for super cheap too is the sad part.

    Just lock the tapes in a room with a paperclip , some rubber bands a piece of gum and Richard Dean Anderson

    The point of this show isn't to combine them into some sort of horrifying gestalt entity of pure 90's awfulness.

    It's meant to be therapeutic for the participants and give them a platform to confess and apologize. Sort of like those programs where convicted felons beg forgiveness from their victims.

    The alternative is far too sad.

    Star Trek Beyond isn't wowing me at all. A part of me is just tired of ships and helicarriers and everything flying being destroyed to show the gravity of the situation and stuff.

    Don't Think Twice feels too inside baseball. It's a worthwhile story about trying to get on SNL because so few are chosen (and even fewer are actually funny yeah boom what the show's sucked hard for the past few years), but man the mumblecore is strong there.
