Knight Rider 1x15 - "Fly by Knight" - Discussion and Spoilers

[Trekker4747]

From TV.com:

Mike investigates a case of a plane crash and discovers that the crash was faked. The plane had been carrying a federal witness, a 10 year old boy who witnessed the killing of his father. When Mike tries to help the DEA agent investigating the case, he ends up getting arrested. Mike realizes that it is up to him to find the missing witness before he is killed. Meanwhile, Sarah tries to secure the future and independence of the SSC.

I distinctly remember this episode from the first series.

I say again that the truck mode is pointless.

If KITT has the power and troque to operate similar to an all-terrain vechile in off-roads situations then his physical apperance is irrelevant. Does looking like a truck really help his off-road abilities.

Good teaser, BTW.

 

[Agent Richard07]

Was that Maria Menounos?

 

[Agent Richard07]

Looks like it is. They did well with the hottie of the week.

I know.

This episode has been great so far and the new format perfect.

I really want this series to survive now.

Heh.

I like how all of the name badges on the cars are covered up.

How did KITT move the lever?

Ummmm. Tractor beam.

"He's driving a black [product placed vehicle]! and it gets great gas mileage and 0% APR for 6 months"

"And wait until you check out the greay SYNC System!"

Interesting hot the "OnStar"-like system in the KR universe is hooked up to cars' steering system.

The Classic Mustang mode was kind of cool.

 

[Trekker4747]

So, really, the whole "Keep the car with the super-advanced AI a secret thing" is out the window?

 

[Agent Richard07]

Nice Disney ending.

 

[Trekker4747]

Nice Disney ending.

A kid behind the driver's seat of a car wouldn't raise any eyebrows wat all.

Who played the mom? She was cute.

^ The windows are suitably tinted. The Mustang I had as a loaner last week had windows that were so tinted you couldn't see through them from outside (yet they were perfectly clear on the inside).

I like how all of the name badges on the cars are covered up.

I noticed that only on the bad guy cars. Mike's you could make out (it focused on the Ford logo after all) and you could make out Zoe's Ford Focus. The bad guy's Explorer was crossed out and the DEA Agent's navigator were blocked.

^ The windows are suitably tinted. The Mustang I had as a loaner last week had windows that were so tinted you couldn't see through them from outside (yet they were perfectly clear on the inside).

Exterior shots of the car suggest otherwise. And what happens when KITT gets pulled over for having too dark of windows?

 

[backstept]

easy . . . he un-tints them
if he can morph into other Fords and has a replicator he can change window opacity

I actually thought this one was the best so far . . . I hope it continues to get better
