Knight Rider 2008: The Thread

[\S/JcDc\S/]

I enjoyed the pilot movie and the first few eps... BUT OMG it got into the "formula mode" quickly and I just couldn't keep the interest.

I had the same problem, even though Deanna Russo was always wearing something revealing.

I quit watching the instant I saw KITT turn into an F-150.

Wtf is that robot thing in the TV promo spot I saw...?

 

[TwilightPro101]

From what I recall from the last episode I watched the robot is the show's version of K.A.R.R.

How is this show still on the air?

That's my biggest problem with KITT. I don't mind him being able to transform, but the way they did it in the pilot is far more convincing.

They should have stayed away from what they're doing now. Exhaust pipes swinging down for a turbo boost I can live with. But transforming with parts swinging out where there can't be any doesn't work for me. Instead, stick with the nano-skin transformation they used in the pilot. That way, KITT's shrinking and growing can be explained by his skin just reshaping, flowing into a new form. And he has and stores all the extra nano-skin he needs in areas you can't see like the trunk.

So KARR is a Decepticon now? Awesome.

Indeed, changing color or appearance is one thing. But turning into a whole other vehicle...no.

Yep.

 

[wiegeabo]

A Decepticon voiced by Optimus Prime.

 

[Immortalfire]

Ironic.

Spoiler

Knight to King's Pawn synopsis: Sarah (Deanna Russo) is not coping well with her father’s death and decides to leave town. Concerned, Mike (Justin Bruening) goes looking for her and in return gets the answers he has been searching for about his past. Meanwhile, the NSA has decided to dismantle the SSC now that Dr. Graiman (Bruce Davison) is dead and they can then move forward with KITT’s nemesis KARR. With Torres’ (Yancey Arias) permission they take out KITT’s (voiced by Val Kilmer) chip that contains his personality and memories and place it in KARR (voiced by Peter Cullin). Upset by what has happened, Mike, Sarah, Billy (Paul Campbell) and Zoe (Smith Cho) devise a plan to find where KITT has been taken and get him up and running and destroy the evil KARR once and for all.

Kitt turning into a Transformer would get me watch it again. as stupid as that sounds, turning into a bumblebee stle bay bot is more interesting than switching car kits and that stupid pick-up truck crap.

I also like Cullen coming back as KARR's voice, that is a definite knod to fans the original series.

 

[BlackLantern]

I'll be watching it tonight.....I don't know why

 

[wiegeabo]

Because the Hoff tells you to.

 

[Gold Samurai]

I think that this is the episode that leads into the changes.

 

[BlackLantern]

Because the Hoff tells you to.

...and who am I to refuse the Hoff??

 

[Immortalfire]

No one refuses the Hasselhoff and lives to tell it.

 

[wiegeabo]

Damn right!

 

[TheVileOne]

If KARR is KITT, why would they want to destroy KARR?

 

[BlackLantern]

I thought KARR was a prototype that went wonky....then someone made off with it

 

[TheVileOne]

It's just that synopsis makes no sense.

If KARR is powered by the chip that actually is KITT wouldn't KARR = KITT and by killing KARR they kill KITT as well?

 

[wiegeabo]

I haven't read the synopsis yet, but in the Halloween episode, the evil agent was able to steal a copy of KITT's neural network.

So my guess is that whoever is controlling KARR, is using KITT as a foundation to (re)build KARR's AI. Or, they're trying to replace/modify KARR's AI with KITT's and it doesn't work.

 

[TheVileOne]

The continuity of the show doesn't make sense.

Apparently this is a sequel to the original Knight Rider. Yet they treat KARR as some sort of evil cyborg robot. KARR was not a cyborg robot.

And is KITT a new KITT? What happened to the original KITT? They act like the original KITT never existed.

Well if you watch the original pilot movie before the season started it briefly shows some parts from the first KITT in Charles (Sara's Dad) house, & the Hoff made an appearance at the end as Michael Knight, & I'm pretty sure Charles mentioned the original KITT too in the pilot.

 

[BlackLantern]

yes...Dr. Graiman talks about designing the original KITT and in the beginning of the TV movie you see pieces of it in his garage
