I was in my early-20's when this series started. My best friend and my wife thought this was the greatest series ever. I didn't. Now the series did have its good points: field agents of the intel services, special forces and other elite units use things like Mac's ever-present Swiss Army knife much, much more than they would a "Rambo" knife. They also use their minds much more than they would a weapon. But this is taken to an extreme in this series.
Don't get me wrong, most people in Mac's line of work aren't hard-cussing, trigger-happy thugs, they are more like Mac in temperament. And I realize that this is a fantasy program. But the story lines are just LAME. Most of the stories just don't make sense and the situations that he finds himself in just aren't believable. And this mess of NEVER carrying a weapon just isn't reality.
Anderson redeemed himself in the role of Col. Jack O'Neil in SG-1.
