Are you telling me that the younger version of the man who portrayed MacGyver would be less effective at MacGyvering a solution?!

    I said what I said. Just because O'Neil looks like MacGyver doesn't mean he has his skill set. Picard has like 400 years worth of military strategy to draw from that O'Neil would be ignorant of. Team Picard!

    Counterpoint: de-aged O'Neill (with 2 L's) still has all of his special forces training and years of experience. Jack is a black ops guy. Picard can fight, but he might never see O'Neill until after the fight is already over. Military strategy isn't worth a whole lot in a 1v1.

    Picard is no stranger to black ops either. In Chain of Command, part 2, the following exchange takes place. I'm quoting from Memory Alpha

    Gul Lemec, and his aides are seated in the observation lounge. Despite Jellico's assurances to the contrary, Lemec divulges that he knows that Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Lieutenant Worf, and Doctor Beverly Crusher have gone into Cardassian territory and killed fifty-five men, women, and children in what he calls a brutal assault on one of their outposts.

    That's more than 12 kills per person!
