After the incredibly lame turbo-boost into the prison in the last episode, I've officially given up on this show. If they can't even make something simple like THAT exciting, then there's just no hope for them.

Err, isn't that the synopsis from last week's episode?

I have to admit that this was a really good episode (which would mean average for any other series but I digress). Something about the last few scenes with KITT, Michael, and Sarah (specifically KITT's "Our father is dead" line) were fairly good.

- Good episode, lost of fast-pace action.
- I thought they were gonna do a whole hour of "Speed", Knight Rider style, but that didn't last long.
- When "Val d'Or" came up, I immediately thought of the city in Quebec too.
- So they didn't kill off Poitier after all. I did think though that she was gonna bite it at least twice in that hospital bed.
- That line "why do we always have to cut these things down to the last minute." was badly timed or badly delivered. Worked in Back to the Future III, but not here.
- We didn't see Graiman's body, so he's not officially dead. He could always come back.

Excellent. Plenty of tension, fun moments and despite the good guys winning, there was still an element of tragedy.
Oh, and Cullen's voice in the preview for next week = THE AWESOME.

I thought this was actually fairly good, with some effective drama and character work. The plot may have been driven by executive meddling, but it's added some emotional depth to the show. Having Carrie injured severely enough to have to give up field work is an unusual way of writing out a character -- and an unusually realistic plot development for an action show, where heroes can generally have a complete recovery from every injury by the next episode and suffer no cumulative deterioration from all their fights and injuries and brushes with death. And learning the backstory of how she became an agent and how much it meant to her -- especially when delivered by the likes of Richard Roundtree -- made it all the more poignant to see her reaction when she was told it was all over.
Unfortunately, Charles Graiman's demise wasn't as dramatically handled, and was kind of anticlimactic -- although I'm hoping the fact that we didn't see him die is a deliberate back door to leave room for his return. Not to mention the return of Gus the pilot. This guy we'd never seen before was the coolest character in the whole dang series so far.
But the final scene was very effectively handled. KITT's line -- "Sarah, our father is dead" -- hit me pretty hard, because it was so unexpected.
Actually, given how much time was spent last week establishing Hank the robotic arm and "his" relationship with Charles, when I saw Hank on the plane I was kind of expecting that Charles would sacrifice himself to save Hank or something. I guess that would've been a little hokey.
Is it possible for a cargo plane to stay airborne at only 130-odd MPH, let alone climb to over 50,000 feet at that velocity?
And why did KITT need to switch to Arizona license plates when he touched down in Phoenix? Since when was there a problem with a car having out-of-state plates?

So Carrie finally got the shaft.
Even with the turbo boost how could they pass up a jump off a construction site? The Dukes of Hazzard would disapprove.
He only needs a set of plates for states in the deep south.

Yes!
Except for KI3T himself, that is, I sadly agree entirely. Anyone know if that was Admiral Chegwidden from JAG? Sure looked like him, but it isn't on the IMDB page for him. Not that that means anything. People seem to be ashamed to be on the show - even Val Kilmer as the voice of KI3T is "uncredited"!Not to mention the return of Gus the pilot. This guy we'd never seen before was the coolest character in the whole dang series so far.

I rated it "Good". Too bad Billy and/or Zoe didn't die.
The Attack Mode transformation graphics with the police light bar were hokey. Seriously hokey. The Turbo Boost effect -- I could deal with that.
Poor Hank

I thought the same thing when Hank was shown on the plane.

Still uses cliches but this was the best episode to date and a real pity, KR didn't start like this and that NBC didn't keep its word to air this 2 parter on sunday. I loved the pilot he was a great character and also Mike going through the plant with a silencer was so cool
Misses out on a possible Excellent due to not killing off Poitier and it made no sense not to ditch the plane...moor Gus, Hank and Doc

Ok I broke down and saw it... and damn, why wasn't the show written this well from the start? The writing and action was much better than anything we've seen before, with some pretty good cliffhangers throughout.
And for once it looked like they put some real money behind an episode.
