Just noticed...how does KITT get out of Apt in Good Knights.
In "A Good Knights Work"on the SCI FI marathon recently...KITT bursts into the apt window, and Michael says "How are we gonna get out of here?" or something like that... How would he get out ha ha!?? He took up like the whole room!
Also, in one of these episodes Michael says "Ive never been a quitter and Im not gonna start now.." for those of us that were discussing why they would say Michael quit for 10 years after the episodes ended...I just watched those episodes for the first time in a long time!

the ep was called 'a good knight's work' not let it be me.
anyway, its been discussed a lot of times. i suppose they just got one of those elevators that lift building workers up and down for kitt.

Yeah he did. It was a nice parachute though. I think it was all white with a Black Knight Piece.

remember that turbo boost was a record for kitt to jump into the apt in the first place...so therefore he would need a LOT of room to reverse that..and there wasn't.
so i think reverse turbo is out of the question. but the parachute could work.

Re: Just noticed...how does KITT get out of Apt in Good Knig
You have to take into account that when that episode occured, it was probably before Stevie got killed. After that, maybe he was beginning to lose faith in himself as things went along until he finally gave up. I mean, if you were responsible for the death of someone you loved, you'd question every step of everything you've done, though you wouldn't freely admit it. So, maybe that was the cause of the burnout and the reason why he left, because he didn't want to be responsible for another death (hence his reaction to Devon's death in "Knight Rider 2000", which he is forced to face the thing he felt he was responsible for, which was the death of someone he cared about. If it hadn't been true, then he would have been more than gungho to help out Maddock and Shawnin finishing what was started).oppenca2 wrote: Also, in one of these episodes Michael says "Ive never been a quitter and Im not gonna start now.." for those of us that were discussing why they would say Michael quit for 10 years after the episodes ended.

Well, K.I.T.T. doesn't necessarily need to have room or to be in motion when using the turbo boost feature (going forward or backward). Remember when KITT was trapped underneath the logs in the "Out Of the Woods" episode? KITT was stationary and blasted out of the spot he was in. He didn't shoot directly up into the air but forward. Doing a reverse turbo boost would apply here. Besides, we're missing the entire gimmick of the episode: we're supposed to find it comedic! I doubt the producers wanted everybody to question the logistics of the situation as opposed to just laughing and not taking it too seriously.Skav wrote:remember that turbo boost was a record for kitt to jump into the apt in the first place...so therefore he would need a LOT of room to reverse that..and there wasn't.

But if you remember, michael always had a running start first before hitting the turbo to give it that extra motion forward with regards to long turbo boosts. the stationary boosts were to just get out of situations, not concentrating on distance as such.
so with regards to this particular jump back, if he did it, he would need ample room to get a head start first.

Okay, I always thought that it ended with him in the Apt, but then I remembered that he ejected Mighty Mouth out at the end, I know that wasn't before the Apt scene. It makes much more sense now.oppenca2 wrote:I think it cut to commercial, thats why I was wondering
I was wondering how the topic of Stevie got brought up on this thread. I was so confused.oppenca2 wrote:I got it mixed up with Let It Be Me because I was thinking Michael was rescuing Stevie, but it wasnt her, it was the girl from that episode.

Well, Michael did have KITT rotate his Turbo Booster in "A Plush Ride", so I'm thinking they did the same thing and Turbo Boosted four floors down after stopping Cameron.Lost Knight wrote:I haven't seen the episode in I don't know how many years, but why not a reverse turbo boost?

"No. It's KITT!!! And he's gonna land on our brand-new car!!!!![b][/b]
If you don't make a difference, you are not the Knight Rider.
