In the shows defense with that scene, KITT stated that he could not harm or endanger a human life because of one of his directives, and only did so at the overriding command from the daughter of his creator who obviously had the authority (sudo /etc/init.d/directives override) to do so.

Driving at excessive speeds in order to elude pursuit while other vehicles are on the road could be considered as endangerment.

But then again, he drove on sidewalks with people jumping out of the way to avoid getting hit (even when they were 100 feet away from the car) and the end result if the pursuit were successful would most likely cause harm to the woman would contradict that theory.

I'm all for a little creative freedom in exchange for good drama/action but it was a bit much.

Oh, and whatever tires that thing has, I want. 600+ MPH for extended periods of time with little to no tire wear... I'm all over that.

Most of the shows out there have huge plot holes but I still watch them. Fortunately, Lost appears to exploit this and it's entire plot is based on the fact that the plot has holes, which I can accept and I enjoy. BSG has intentional holes as well and I'm fine with it but when there are holes and they don't even realize that its a hole, that's when I have a problem.

If I follow it too close, I start to think I'm a Trek geek reciting Klingon prose but I have to wonder, whatever happened to story boards and groups of writers sitting around asking, "How'd that get there?" or "When did that happen?" and they correct the problem.

Of course, in the end, it's up to us as the consumers of this product to dictate what comes next.

God only knows what Ice Cube is going to do with B.A Baracus but Woody as Howling Mad, that's awesome!

When I saw that Knight Rider was coming out I actually said to my wife that I would be complete with a remake of the A-Team!

Maybe I'm just too picky. Kind of like the Terminator series and the fully exposed terminator head somehow makes it through to the future. Wasn't that a HUGE part of the story of terminator, that nothing non-organic could come through?
Well they can send full terminators back in time so why not just the terminator head?

I'm pretty sure the flesh coating they have is just a means of concealing themselves in present time.


But yes Knight Rider was very bad

The deal from the movie was that you couldn't send anything that wasn't completely surrounded by living tissue.

It was just an excuse for why Reese had to show up naked, with no proof of his origins and his crazy story.

Exactly, damn kids, go watch the original movie. You can see Arnold's wang flapping against his leg when he's walking toward the punks in the park.

That was kinda funny.

I downloaded it this morning and finally got to watch it. Goofy, but then most of the shows bakc then were like that (A Team, Starsky and Hutch, S.W.A.T., etc.). They were good entertainment.

a coworker of mine also brought up that in the first movie Connor said they could only send things backward in time so the whole sending them seven years into the future doesn't fit either.

Ugh, last night was even worse... I want to hate sex that Termishemator and her stupid ballet with big sunglasses.

It's too bad this will be the last season of BSG and there's no 24.

I guess we have changed shows during the thread?

When does Battlestar begin?
