I would think that the technology for cryo freezing people would have been newish by 1999, so there probably aren’t too many people from before then who woke up in 3000. There may have been a few people who froze and unfroze around the same time, so he may not be THE oldest, but I think that he’s the oldest person in the series

    Same episode, but Steve Castle (the 80s business guy) said he froze himself in the 1980s until there was a cure for boneitis

      As a side note, how’d you know that 80’s business guys name was Steve Castle? I feel like he was only ever referred to as “that guy”?

        Yeah, his name isn’t mentioned in the episode, but he was named in the script

        His name, as mentioned on the audio commentary and listed in the script, is Steve Castle, but he is only ever called “That Guy” in the episode.

        I looked up his name for the comment, i wasn’t sure what his name was and at the time didn’t realize it was as obscure as it is.

          Ah, ok, thank you for confirming I didn’t just black out a big chunk of that episode or something, cuz I read Steve Castle in your comment and I was like…who the fuck is that? He had a name??
