I believe it was in the same universe as the serie "six million dollars man"", the boss of the main character was the boss of lee major in six million dollar man. | |

I think memories would last 24 hours or so. What he learned normally he'd remember, what he learned by imprint would fade - and not slowly, but all at once. I'm pretty sure there was a sequence where he had to drive a race car and they had to imprint the memories by remote or something and later he was racing to escape and had to get clear before his race car driving memories went away. It was a pilot that never made it to series. | |

| Jun 21, 2012 at 19:53 | comment | added | Wolfram | It could also have been that the guy was brain damaged because of an accident, and he had lost his complete memory, and these short-time boosts were the only way he could function again. After the 60 minutes he would once again lose his complete memory. Not sure which variant it was. | |
