Knight Rider Discussion

[skyfire2261]

I liked this new Knight Rider. Good Acting and great action overall.

I think most of you are being waaaaaaay too critical about a lot of things and are forgetting that it's just meant to be a fun action show. I swear some of you must sit there with pen and pad writing down "things they should have done". I can't explain why writers do the things they do but to beat a dead horse over those little things just detracts from the premise of the show (which is to relax and enjoy, have fun with it etc).

First of the complaint the use of a mustang is un-warranted. I admit at first I thought "mustang? what? why?". But after watching the show I thought hey why not, it works quite well. Besides even if the studio were to go with a "sleeker" car what car would be sleek enough and cheap enough for all those stunts?

Second, to those bashing KITT's abilities lighten up already, it's a TV show, not a documentary on current tech. How does KITT scan the casino and locate every bad guy? Who the **** cares. I swear some of you are those types of people that have to have an explanation of how every sci-fi device works WITH blueprint. Like those idiots who ask how transporter's in
star trek work or how to build your own light-saber.

If that was the case then all of the worlds technological progress would be coming from hollywood instead of real life inventors/scientists/engineers etc.

Third, I thought Val kilmer did a superb (if not stole the show for me) as the voice of KITT. He had that no emotion air to it and yet you still felt like he was your best friend.

If you haven't guessed by now I'm really hoping this becomes another great action series (like Terminator). I admit I went in with low expectations so maybe that is why I liked it so much but either way I hope this gets picked up and NBC gets rid ( or have they?) of Bionic women and put this in it's place.
