NBC's Knight Rider relaunch.

*twitch*

Makes the Bionic Woman relaunch look like Firefly. Really.

Avoid. I know, I know, you thought you didn't need to be told, but really. Avoid. It's worse than you thought.

"whenever I hear that music ...."

You mean the proto-techno? :) Yeah. They used the main intro sequence as an intro riff in the new theme, and I'll admit it, I got all a-tingly. Then it went into the bad synthmetal they've apparently decided is necessary. I couldn't even being to hum or describe the new theme... it's just not memorable.

I think it was a pervasive issue with the pilot. :P

OTOH, the last minute or so made me think it might get more interesting. Remember the long hauler they used as a roving base? And how KITT would roll out the back while it was going down the road? (Okay, KITT did it *once* and then they just labeled it 'stock footage' and kept reusing it...) Exit semi, enter large cargo plane doing a touch-and-go. Now that was neat. And much more practical, IMO. It was one of the few bits that showed any thought had gone into the ep.

Kilmer needs to not phone it in. Live actors need acting lessons. Writers need lessons on plot and character development. Carpr0n needs to be turned waaaaaaaaaaaay down. Composer needs to be replaced.

Other than those details, it was peachy. ;)

Ah well. Like you said, why do we care??
