Re: Knight Rider - Season 1 (Wednesdays this Fall)
Well, although I missed part two of the intense two-parter a couple of weeks ago, I finally got around to seeing the K.A.R.R. episode last night. I thought it was quite good, actually. (It was a bit odd coming into the episode with Sarah grieving, but that's what I get for missing part two of a previous episode.) Incidentally, remind me not to get too friendly with Sarah should I ever see her in a bar.
I liked much about the episode. I wish they (read: K.I.T.T.) had coded the downloaded information more toward music; that would have been fun to decipher. But the way it was done (in the Portland, Oregon boy's Xbox) was kind of clever. I didn't like the attitude of the boy, especially since he had received a lot of free stuff from Billy. Where was his gratitude? So what if he had to play Halo 3 with an adult for an extended period of time.
Learning about Michael's erased memory was somewhat expected, although I did like how/why Sarah's father had to keep it from him. And the holograms of her dad were not (IMO) too overdone, and added some much needed information at key points in the episode. And how about the '
eternal' puzzle? I thought that was nicely done. I couldn't believe the amount of funds that were transferred to Sarah as they went to a commercial. It was nearing a half a billion dollars! I loved her line near the end, when Michael was questioning funding: "We're good"--LOL.
The only thing I didn't like about the episode was the transformation of K.A.R.R. I almost thought Darth Vader had come back in a starring role.
The clincher was when I heard 'destiny' (
). But all in all, it was a fine episode, and left the door wide open for the four remaining series regulars, should the show eventually come back from the dead.
