I'd like them to still use RDA, and before you all scream impossible, I don't think it is. If this is about Mac BEFORE what we've seen, then why not get RDA to do some voice overs as if he's telling us what he got up to when he was young? I LOVED the voice overs in the original, and missed them when they stopped. That way we'd still have a link to the original - because I really do think 80's TV is hard to recreate.
Don't get me wrong, I will try this, but its going to have to be brilliant to win me over. JJ's Star Trek definitely won me over though, so it is possible. (I haven't seen Star Wars yet, so cant comment)
As for Casino Royale, I must be the only Brit who didn't like it! But then, I was never that mad on Bond, so maybe that's why - I think SkyFall is my favourite of the Craig offerings.

I would be fine with that...
Like I said there hasn't been a word regarding casing etc. so lets wait until we have something before we all start complaining...
Also I read Wan's Idea for the film a north by northwest styled smart espionage thriller with MacGyver at the center. I STILL don't get why people wouldn't want to see that. Again seasons 1-3 MacGyver was a spy simply put and to see a smart espionage thriller with MacGyver at the center but in television form yeah I am still failing to see the downside here.
However one things I feel we should discuss
1. do we know anything about the writers?
For me this all rests on who is going to play MacGyver
Also when will the next bit of news come I am hoping soon.

The voice overs stopped on Downings request. He figured the audience can see what he does, so no reason to explain and I'm glad they did.
The problem is the studios hardly (never even) listens to the fans. You can have that espionage thriller with MacGyver in it but that won't mean it'll work. I don't mind going dark again like Trail To Doomsday but a lot of fans don't want to go that way. What I don't want to see to start the reboot with is a treasure hunt. That's too easy, if I wanna see a treasure hunt, I'll watch Indiana Jones or National Treasure.
It's a very difficult something. If you want to remake or reboot something you got to understand what made it work in the first place and very few people do. They just go their way with it. Jurassic World sucked because of what they did and I can't understand Spielberg didn't step up. OK, so the movie was financially a success but it totally missed the point. It disregarded everything the first movie stood for. Something goes wrong at the expense of several lives and they do it anyway, like they haven't learned anything at all. It shows what greed can do, okay. But what I saw was a movie made by a director who wasn't ready for this kind of project. The script was poorly written and you see that in the movie. The actors were horribly cast. I'm glad Bryce Dallas Howard is a redhead, it was the only thing I liked in that movie. I can't look at Chris Pratt's face again.
I'll be glad if the new crew understands that they don't have to make it more than it is. That they understand the boundaries and make the absolute best within them.
Like I said, it is difficult something but it's more than just write and direct a script about a guy who improvises stuff along the way to get out of a jam.
I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver. Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you. It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.
