Yeah, I have no problem with it as well. He's not his father. KITT could call him Michael when he was really frustrated though, that might be funny actually. My thoughts exactly. Actually, I'll take this a step further - I think that KI3T should be the only person who calls him Michael, while every...

That's not what I meant. I just can't imagine sending a supped up Mustang card at a girl and not getting slapped in the middle of a restaurant for show.

These aren't going to happen, unless someone starts paying for the show. The problem, see, is that the next frame from this: http://knightrideronline.com/forum/download/file.php?id=1290 is this: http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/9124/turbobusthx3.jpg We can all imagine how well that landing went.

Now, that's a sure way to get dumped on Valentine's :p

A few points here: - Andron doesn't have the experience to be a showrunner. - GST was asked to do this (twice, mind you), because NBC "wanted a show people would watch". Of course, they sort of forgot you have to pay to do a show. - I don't know how much creative input Andron has in the ov...

^^ KITT always refers to him as "Michael".

Heh, look at that. Increase. Didn't expect that. Though I stand by my earlier position that at this point, ratings have little to do with our hopes for renewal.

You're probably talking about "The Scent of Roses", what's considered the actual finale to the series (before it got axed, anyway). The disks should have it in airing order (IIRC), which means it's the penultimate episode.

Pfft. Amateurs. Transformers fan here. I have an entire toyline dedicated to me and my fanboyism. Two, if we count reissues. And I'm 23 years old.

I'd definitely pick a KITT figure up.

I think she gets a lot of undeserved bashing. She serves her purpose on the show and she's not really unlikeable. If they flesh out her scenes with Billy and their flirtatious bantering a little better (bartender, can I have mine with a little less sterotype, please!), she'll be just fine. I liked h...

It bugged me, though unlike before, it was less about KITT's basic programming and more about what point the show was trying to make. "Can we shoot something on the way?", asks the kid in the end of the episode. I'm not going to go into the usual rampage of "morally ambiguous" mo...

I can't remember for sure either, but without looking I believe it might have been after he unhooked himself from the tow truck and smoked the tires to start racing to Mike, perhaps That's where it was. But the nod wasn't really the music, it was the entire scene. It was an homage to the original K...

Don't even go in expecting decent ratings. In fact, at this point I don't think they even matter all that much, unless there is a tremendous and permanent change for the best. We have, what, three episodes left? If there isn't a significant drop from the norm, the only way we're getting a renewal is...

A spoiler was popping up out of thin air in Andron's concept. How is that more plausible than what we have now?

I personally like the alternate transformation more as well.

It's impossible to know what effect Hasselhoff would have in the show, should he be cast. Less older fans would despise it. His involvement would certainly provide incentive for more to tune in. But it's somewhat unlikely he will manage to keep those "intrigued" viewers by himself. In fact...

It was just a pretty bad show, hammered largely by '90s TV norms.

In retrospect, it's one of those "corny '90s shows that are so bad they're good", so I can't say I wouldn't sort of enjoy it, should I ran across it again.

How does someone getting away with insults qualify as "political correctness"? The message was posted merely two hours ago. I'm pretty sure this will be taken care of as soon as someone logs in.

Yay defensiveness?

Under GST, KR was a medley of Transformers, Fast and Furious, and other things. In all fairness, the "transformations" angle was brought to the table long before Thompson got involved. In fact, most of us out there were making fun of it when the pilot was still in production. Having said ...

Don't worry, Matt, still in control

Yes, I aimlessly go around bashing people because it makes me feel good. Or, it could be that the man was hired to do a job the way he saw fit, and rather than honor the established continuity for the benefit of a coherent series he chose to ignore it and rewrite it his own way. Or, to be most accu...

But that would mean we'd need some continuity from the backdoor pilot and Gary Scott Thompson's ego won't allow that.

I love how we can go around and bash people just for the kicks. The guy was hired to do a job his way and he did it. And he was very clear about it from the start.

Ego...

MY point was there's always a snide remark that anytime one of us complains about the T&A someone always assumes we're some ultra-conservative hypocrite when in fact I mostly complain that it takes away from the episode. The violence actually serves a purpose as making the bad guys evil, the se...

You're right, we don't need a problem to solve, lets just turn into a porno, good call. Maybe next week KITT and Mike can track down a cure for Sarah's persistent yeast infection. No, you're right. We should ban anything sex-related. It's much better to have Mike and KITT dissect kittens for the *?...

Let's see... Shots of KITT driving (even without the stunts) instead of being nailed to the parking lot? Check. Simplified but likeable story? Check. Plenty of action? Check. Some pretty decent attempts at humor? Check. The SSC bunch not hogging screen time? Check. Indulging society's hypocrisy that...

The doc's right, there hasn't been an actual reboot. A reboot is a clean slate; you throw everything away and start fresh. Thompson used the term, falsely, when he first talked about this new direction, but it's not really a reboot. "Retool" is a better fitting term.
