Thoughts on Heroes 3 / New Knight Rider

(1/8) > >>

RTSDaddy2:
Heroes, for my money, has made a hell of a comeback. Period. I don't really understand how it is that Nathan is still seeing Linderman (I did miss seeing part of the premiere), but I don't care....McDowell is just awesome.

Knight Rider: We've seen several people try to remake "old 80s shows."  Glen Larson, again IMO, is giving everyone a lesson in how to remake your past hit.  You start by involving it's orginal creator.  I said after that movie that I couldn't wait to see this new team on regular "Knight Rider" missions, and so far they've not disappointed.

The only thing I want them to move away from over time is this government cover up crap.  Just send Michael and K.I.T.T. out to stop ANY bad guy - they don't have to be terrorists every week!  Other than that, the one liners have been pretty good in past weeks, and I think Kilmer and the new Michael Knight are really beginning to get the hang of how important their interactions are.  Kilmer's K.I.T.T. may come off as just a little too computer for some, but there is the idea that this new AI car is having to "learn" about friendships, etc....

Bottom line: man I hope it lasts - it's been a fun three weeks so far.

Heroes is going good. It's kind of a rocky start, but it's better than last season. As for Knight Rider...it is teh lame! It's Knight Rider...not effin' Transformers! The story sucks, the car sucks and I hope it doesn't last the season. I'm just glad that there are other good shows on for me to watch/record.

Couldn't agree more.   Last season turned watching Heroes into a chore, so much so that I put off watching the premiere like it was dishes that needed washing.  But it's been moving at a brisk pace with some interesting stories without any new heroes that bring nothing to the table (i.e. "The Wonder Twins").  I'm actually looking forward to new episodes.

And Linderman just appeared one day and only Nathan can see him.  I knew they'd work him back in somehow.  You can't not have McDowell. 

SavannahLion:
In the pilot, Knight Rider had potential right up until that ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- nonsense with KITT on fire and putting the fire out by taking all the air out of the tunnel. A transformer wannabe, I can tolerate. A car with a revving engine able to operate in a vacuum is not tolerable. Oh right, don't forget to strip the main characters down to their underwear while panting, sweating and slipping around on leather seats for the sex appeal.

Don't get me wrong I loved Knight Rider as a kid. Now that I'm adult though, the writers better do a better job making the show believable enough to make a self driving, transforming, uber car more believable.

They ---fouled up beyond all recognition--- it up last time by making it a damn Chevy commercial, and they're going to ---fudgesicle--- it up again.

Heroes is looking pretty good though.

Sounds like a good scene to me. ;D  Assuming, of course, a hot woman is in there somewhere.
