Aries said his character, Alex Torres, "Gives out the missions at the beginning of the episode. He shows them how much is involved in making sure our country is safe. KITT is too integral a piece of equipment and cannot be taken lightly. That's a big challenge for Michael Knight; to not wreck such an expensive piece of equipment."

Cho's character is a linguist, and Thompson noted, "In the first episode she speaks Spanish, Hebrew, Korean… she's sort of our contact with the outside world if we need to speak to [anyone]." Campbell added that she, "Keeps [Billy] off balance. He's madly in love with her. She's very snide and also very charming."

Asked about all the changes from the TV-Movie, Bruening said, "The biggest change is a visual one. It's more cleaned up from original pilot. They've added so many layers to my character. They're filling in the blanks and making him a much deeper, more well rounded character. It makes a whole new mythology for the new fans and the older ones."

Russo said her character is now, "beating up bad guys myself. The fight training has been the best part. My fight trainer calls me Annie Oakley, because I have such good aim."

So what about The Hoff? An audience member asked if David Hasslehoff might appear on the series, as he did in the TV-Movie. Thompson said he and Hasslehoff recently had breakfast, and that he told him, "Look, if we use you, I want to use you in a way that's story driven." He said Hasslehoff agreed it should be, "Something big. We both agreed there's no reason to bring him back unless it's something very specific. There is a possibility. It's contingent upon schedules. We are openly speaking."

Asked if the original KITT might show up, Thompson replied, "Look, you're probably probing my mind right now. I don't see any reason why we can't see the two KITTs side by side." And as for the evil KARR from the original series? Said Thompson, "Hmm… What do you think? That would be a yes. There will be some version of that. That will go through in our mythology."

Another fan asked if KITT's popular Turbo Boost feature would be back from the original series, and most importantly, would the car jump when it was used. Thompson said that indeed, Turbo Boost was back, and more so, "KITT's gonna jump. You're gonna go, 'Quit making the car jump already!'"

i really love everything i've read so far...

but both articles you posted (buddytv and io9) are written in such a negative and dismissive way, this has absolutely nothing to do with journalism! i don't get it why some "scribes" still think it's oh so cool to diss Knight Rider

We will see a "KARR" by episode 13 (which is the approved amount of shows)

David and Gary had lunch - and while he said its a strong possibility for him to come back for the right story - they've written up to episode 8 so far without him.
