Re: KR2008: Pro and Con

I am surprised that you failed to mention the way NBC handled the show and dictated the direction of it. I have not forgotten it but you're correct that I failed to mention it. I think what Deanna Russo said about the revolving door of executives at NBC and a feeling that there was a lack of leader...

Re: Random Season 2 thoughts (should it ever happen)

^Hey glad I'm not the only KR fan thinking along those lines. It would also be nice if they'd put David Husselhoff in it. You know the relationship between son and father could be brought up there too ... ;) Hoff I think should be part of it even if he's not in every single episode. I think the fath...

Re: For those who would not want to see the GT500 return as KITT

I'd also have to wonder if in legal terms the whole KR franchise is basically tied in with Ford Mustang since the series which would then prevent them doing anything using cars from another company for any official KR project. Especially if there is even the slightest scrap of hope for KR08 to get p...

Re: Deanna Russo Confirms Knight Rider death

I think by the cheese comment she was in essence trying to say that the show should be escapist and not apologize for it.

KR2008: Pro and Con

Pros: I liked Mike. I'm not sure giving him the Matthew Bourne type backstory was strictly necessary because I think just having been involved in the war and being the son of the original Michael Knight would be enough to work with. I enjoyed him both when being a smartass but also I could believe h...

Re: For those who would not want to see the GT500 return as KITT

In retrospect I don't even think that it being a Mustang was the problem as much as it is that the GT500 Shelby Cobra was just more of a thick brick than what they really needed. There's just too much bulk to the ground effects IMO. The car, is basically too fat for the part. While I realize they wa...

Re: Live Discussion - Knight to King's Pawn

I want to throw in a bit here on this idea about wether or not the show is in continuity with the original series. Now, I agree that it is odd the way the characters tend to speak as if this whole talking car thing has never happened before when very clearly it has.

At the same time though, it has to my mind been pretty well established that it does in fact take place in the same universe. The entire pilot hinges on that, the series itself grows from the pilot even though obviously they have been trying to sort of clean up some things left over from it. Not to mention that GST has been trying to get Hoff on board for another appearence as Michael Knight it's as he said in his own words "a matter of timing."

Now, there is the question of okay if this show is in the same universe then on the surface of it looks like Graiman basically managed to make the exact same mistake twice in that he started with an AI geared toward self-preservation. Which seems like far to big a @&^# for someone who cares as much about using his tech to help people as Graiman does to ever repeat. Especially after what happened the first time.

I think in the explanation there is a story and that story will be told on this show. It might even be possible that whoever in the government has been pulling the strings on this project basically backed Graiman into a corner.

Maybe he was brought in to salvage what was left of the original KARR AI to create a new weapon. Since they wanted a weapon they likely found aspects of KARR's AI more desirable than KITT's. Perhaps the entire reason we even have a new KITT is because Graiman was wanting to have a plan ready if history repeated itself. KARR once again going rouge necessitated putting it into action, thus the new KITT was born. A lot of this may also tie into another mystery. What ever became of the original KITT car and his AI? Did Michael Knight retire or is there something more to it? The new KITT even mentioned gaps in his memory. Could this mean his AI is actually the original but he cannot recall memory files of his original adventures of even of Michael himself? At least not without help. At what point did the Foundation cease to exist as we knew it and all of this came under the governments control anyway?

I'm not trying to say that last nights episode was a totally flawless thing but I feel like we're well on our way to getting out of the growing pain stages and I'm willing to give the show the opportunity to really prove itself and to also answer these questions.

Re: Live Discussion - Knight to King's Pawn

I agree with the idea that it should have been a two-parter. One to tie off the thing with the SCC and Torres. The other to focus on KITT vs. KARR action. I think to that the advertising for the show was a bit misleading because it acts as though the entire episode is going to be about the showdown ...

Well, I freely admit that I didn't think much of Prime as a monkey either. :lol:

Hell of a finish to an episode I was not even expecting to be a two-parter. The villain was definitely a worthy scumball who sure made his mark.

Re: The Knight Rider 2008 Constructive Criticism Thread

I think KITT's dash could use some reworking. Don't get me wrong though because I understand the crews basic philosophy behind how it was designed. Thing is, I know we live in the era of i-pod but I don't think it has to mean the dash is so aggressively plain. Sleek is one thing, dull is another. I'...

Just want to throw in something on the positive tip.

Just caught it thanks to nbc.com. One of the things that I enjoyed was a small aspect of the overall show but one that just stood out to me.

Re: A problem with the KARR backstory....

Just a theory I have right now and if there's something I'm missing feel free to point it out to me. What if for some reason the government had talked Graiman into creating a weapon, perhaps one meant for the field in Iraq or something. With an AI like KITT's the programming wouldn't fit because KIT...

I think "reboot" is more in the sense of the difference between seasons 1 and 2 of Star Trek TNG vs. what it was when Season 3 started. Or for you comics and animation fans out there a more severe example, the difference between JL and JLU. It's a continuation but things are being rethough...

Hmmm. What if you put the double-scanner light set up KITT has now on the hood of that bottom red one? Also take the red one and make it black. KITT needs to stay black.

The silver one in that marker drawing is a nice design to as is the dark red one with the spoiler in that photo near the top.
