Try turning up your sound when that portion of the episode is playing. The CPU box that is K.I.T.T. is making all kinds of weird sound and is glowing from lights, to boot. Michael (and, perhaps Bonnie) would probably be the only two people around who would have a chance of hearing and recognizing such a sound. Let's take into account that the garage door was open and that the environment was silent. Also, take into account that Michael had been driving KITT for so long at that point that he would have been sub-consciously very aware of all the odd sounds present aboard the Knight 2000.
In essence, he used the term 'sense', because he didn't quite realize that the brain box was putting out it's unique sounds and that he was identifying with that sound as KITT.
Though, I quite agree with cloudkitt. The place was picked clean...EXCEPT for the garage WITH an open door, obviously showing that stuff was inside. Michael and Devon, aiming for ANY clues, should have investigated this obvious source of potential and stumbled across the CPU over the very poorly explained bond of sense and sound.
I, too, saw the quick mention of KR episodes for the IPod. So, I checked out the Apple site. Seems that they don't have a system set up to find what can be downloaded. (That I could find.)
But, (as usual) the search box was far more helpful and uncovered this news page...
http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2005/dec/06nbc.html
...which revealed this list.
NBC Universal programming now available...from the 1950s to the present... NBC’s...
- “Law & Order,”
- “The Office,”
- “Surface,”
- “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,”
- “Late Night with Conan O'Brien,”
USA Network’s
- “Monk”
Sci-Fi Channel’s
- “Battlestar Galactica”
classic TV shows including
- “Alfred Hitchcock Presents,”
- “Dragnet,”
- “Adam-12”
- “Knight Rider,”
Considering that they are only hosting 16 shows at this time, I am very curious about how Knight Rider, and even a couple other titles, made the list. Very happy about KR winning such an honor, too.
As for the chip in the brain...I knew there was something about that. Thanks for the refresher on the comic. As, you have to realize that the show, itself, was a product of editing and alteration. Personally, I tend to see the several paperbacks as more original versions of the vision then the shows display.
And again, this reinforces my theory that there is a connection between Knight Rider fans and Apple.
