They made that ship out of poorly-welded circus parts and twine.
Yeah but it worked !
MacGiver would have built a giant inflatable duck out of garbage bags and duct tape. Then steal the circuits from a nameless East-German terrorist organisation while saving a girl. EDIT : And at the end of the show, he will let the duck ship fly away while the girl make one memorable why-this-guy-is-not-trying-to-sleep with-me face.
The A-Team would have improved the concept with a 50's caliber machine gun on the top of the garbage can and rocket launcher bolted to the rear wing, but none of them will be just able to find the Power switch of the computer. Anyway, Barracuda won't fits in the cockpit and Face don't need such device to grab an highschool girl.
Walter Bishop from
Fringe will olny induce himself an LSD overdose and just spaced out to the E.T ship without building anything cool. That will olny lead to a reset of the actual story and the serie will start again from scratch.

Eleventh Hour would make a 20 minutes speech about what the chip is suppose to do then suddently arrest the janitor of the Lab for murder without any particular link to the story.
