Re: Live Discussion - Fly By Knight

One thing I think needs mentioning:

when running a check on Mike's record, with the name of "Michael Knight," shouldn't that also bring up his father's record as MK senior?

Re: Live Discussion - Fly By Knight

Perfect, aside from the transformations (and Smith Cho). And I don't care what anyone says. I don't like them, and I have every right to mention that. Not liking the transformations doesn't mean I hate the show. Seriously, if the transformations stopped, the show would be perfection for me. On secon...

Re: Live Discussion - Fight Knight

The episode was perfection, except for one thing: The Transformation. Yes, I still don't like it, and no, you're not going to get me to change my mind. It's still too much. But at least it wasn't Ugly (Attack) Mode. The path the F-150 was on was still driveable by the normal Mustang. "Slipping ...

Re: Live Discussion - Exit Light, Enter Knight

Well, I was curious. My friend, who was also deeply disappointed with the KARR/KARR-E bait and switch, watched last night's episode and told me I should really catch it. Well, I have never seen such a turnaround in all of my life. The episode last night was perfect. And I actually cannot believe I'm...

Yes, the fighting does need to stop. And it can stop right here. Name-calling and insulting people is not helping.

Re: Live Discussion - Knight to King's Pawn

If it's one thing that I don't get, it's the fans that think the way to fix the show is to turn it into TOS Mark II. The idea of Hasselhoff and Daniels coming back full-time as the stars is not only stupid, fanboyish and a ratings destroyer, but it's completely unrealistic. They've both moved on. A ...

Well, that was the single biggest disappointment I've ever had related to a television series, let alone this whole series. What a rushed, wasted opportunity. I personally think the people who were overall pleased with the episode are certifiably insane. And I don't care how cruel that sounds. I had...

Re: MORE footage of KARR available!

Wow, I actually have to agree that Cullen's KARR performance is a little unexpected. It really is his Optimus Prime voice and not his original KARR voice, which sounded much better, I think. Although I guess that if this is the same AI from TOS, he could be trying to keep the more angry sound from F...

Re: KARR...Back from the Bridge CPU, or New Creation?

At this point, I'm hoping that's just a continuity screw-up and it's still supposed to be the same KARR from TOS. Although he flat-out says in "TDR" that his creator was Wilton Knight . I wouldn't put it past this show to make a blunder like that. If it ain't the same KARR, then, as I said...

Re: Huge letdown about Peter Cullen voiceover

Same here. I was a bigger fan of Frees than of Cullen, but that was mostly due to the given characterizations. TDR had a KARR was was naive and dangerous on accident, moreover. In KVK, he's downright evil, and actually seeking revenge, which I prefurred. But if I had the choice of Cullen or a perfec...

Re: Ratings for "Day Turns Into Knight"

Before the reboot, I agreed with the KR bashing.

But the show's turned around now and is WORTHY of the KR name. As the show currently exists, it needs saving. It's worth saving.

Re: Live Discussion - Don't Stop The Knight

I'm one for sticking pure to TOS mythology, but the non-lethal thing is something I don't mind seeing evolve. In the original series it was bourne out of restrictions on TV violence, so even if they did want KITT to be capable of killing (story-wise), they probably wouldn't have gotten it past the c...

Now THIS is more like it! If the show had been like this from the beginning, as someone else said, there would have been no beed for a retool.

I wonder what NBC expects from the ratings seeing as it is New Year's Eve..........Also, what did Charles mean when he said to Ryan Arrow about KITT's '"original prototype'"? KITT (K2000) or KARR(KARR(E))? Technically, "Original Prototype" would be KARR (80s KARR). K2000 would b...

My biggest problem with the new Attack Mode is that it's just damned ugly. It looks like the cheapest, ugliest Hot Wheels car you've ever seen. It's not "sleek," and it's not "cool." It's what a 12 year old would call "cool." Why ruin the beautiful look of the Mustang b...

I agree with the "this belong in Transformers" crowd. KR shouldn't be about transforming robots. But what's worse is this probably won't help the show. Most people are going to blast the show even more now, see it for what it is: an attempt to cash in on the success of Transformers. The on...

I'm no slave to continuity. That rude insinuation makes me seem foolish. But I fail to see what's not to grasp about my complaint.

You say "KARR." I think of that silver and black Trans-Am, not "Transforming Robot." Calling the new thing KARR makes me think of a carry-over of TOS mythology. That's what I expected. That's what I want in a sequel series. It's not unreasonable to expect this. If they said they were going to have Dr. Bonnie Barstow on the show, you would expect it to be the same character, yes (Whether or not it's the same actress)?

"Continuity bogs you down?" What kind of *?$# thinking is that? I'm sorry, but is it wrong to expect a sequel series to actually be a sequel series? If they didn't want to have to deal with continuity, than don't bait-and-switch using past continuity, simple as that. You like this transforming monstrosity? That's fine. I may even find it cool when it airs. But calling it "KARR" and not having it actually be "KARR" isn't cool. Call it KRO for all I care. The name doesn't matter UNLESS it ties into a major piece of the mythology and doesn't use that tie.

I really dislike it when fans just "accept" what is done. Naturally, we can't have things the way we want them. I can settle for things. But the KARR fiasco is inexcusable. And acceptance of it is even worse. THAT was a deliberate fakeout on the part of the production. If it's not "KARR" then don't call it "KARR." Simple as that.

If it's a sequel, continuity is required if you give a @&^#. If it's a restart, it doesn't matter. If they weren't going to treat the mythology correctly, they needed not to call it a sequel.
