The first part has been reminding me very much of the original Pilot where K.I.T.T. charges toward the Comtron truck.

I have to give the producers/writers a lot of credit for even having an opening sequence. I seriously expected opening credits overlaid on the initial scene with Graiman and just a quick title flash. Having the updated theme song done and the car shots on the road with the graphics was awesome. It really made the film feel like a "made for TV movie" and not just a "plain episode" of a show.

I loved the title scene, and actually, I really like the new theme too! I think its a nice 'update' for it. Though it sounds really familiar, like something else...but I can't quite put my finger on it.
It's very dramatic and bold, but not too terribly cheesy/flashy. I liked it. ^^

Yeah that was my fave scene too.

When I was watching it for the first time, I remember hoping they'd show a montage KI3T doing a long drive from one side of america to the other set to the music. Would have been way cool. But they just kicked it into the titles (which wasn't too bad though I wasn't a fan of the "bubbles") which was good but not as brilliant as my plan.

That was a great scene because it captured the awe and amazement of a person in the KR universe to a Knight Industries vehcile speeding by. The car is not taken for granted as simply another Ford, but rather something incredibly special. We get to be that trucker and live as a person in that universe, and we understand how they feel. The guy knows right away that that wasn't an ordinary Mustang or other sports car whizzing by him. Plus, the original series had plenty of these moments with the first KITT.

There was some real KR nods in the pilot, but for the original fans it was a little sterile(still good though) ,Even so I have faith in the 08 continuation and i totally believe that if a new series is commissioned,they can re-create the magic for the present day and ultimately just have fun with it. Which I do believe is what all the real fans want.
