Knight Of The Pheonix
I know it may be possible that this has been mentioned before but is Knight Of The Pheonix the episode where we see Michael Long and not Michael Knight??
I only ask because I caught Knight Of The Pheonix Part II last night on TV and discovered that Part I was on TV on Tuesday.
Thanks,
Mike

Uhhhhhhh....
Concerning the title of the episode, my take on why it is named "Knight Of the Phoenix" is because it's metaphoric for Michael being shot down only to rise again more powerful like a phoenix. The phoenix could also maybe be tied into the Firebird Trans Am as well, with the gold phoenix symbols.

That's very possible. The one that shocked me was KITT vs KARR - This is when I found out that Michael Knight was actually modelled on Garth Knight - the bad guy.
What I did like about the 2nd part of Knight Of The Pheonix was at the end where there's a voice over. I can't remember what it said but I thought it was great. Seemed a little wierd seeing the intro without the voice though. "A young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the powerless, the helpless. In a world of criminals who operate above the law." <-- Great line.
Best,
Mike

You're right, Tasha, this is an inconsistency with the story. The most likely explination is that the idea of the character of Garthe had not been established yet at the time the pilot was written. The producers also did not know the show was going to last (they didn't even know if they were going to be granted a second season), so I think it was more of a "make it up as you go along" type of situation. Ultimately the explanation has to be that Wilton blocked Garth out of his mind when he was sent to prison and turned his back on him, therefore maybe subconsciously Michael was modeled after Garth, but also consciously after Wilton himself as a young man.

could also be that garthe and wilton would have been very similar at the same age group, it's not uncommon in the world. and as for "making it up as you go", this is not the fault of knight rider, rather the fact that pre-planned stories and arcs hadn't really been seen in american telelvision and wouldn't be until the late 80s.

comparing would be no good because there is no footage or pic available of a young wilton.
