    Garthe and Goliath Are Pathetic

    This may be the worst-ever script from the tv series with pretty much nothing but horrible scripts. Nothing makes any sense, Hasselhoff is absolutely ridiculous playing his own evil twin, and every character demonstrates utter incompetence with every single decision and action. It's like it was written by dumb little children.

    Ann Turkel wow! wow! wow! wow!

    The series had some clunkers as episodic female leads. Passing love interests. Some were a whole lot better than others, some were just bad choices. This episode though, a much better selection. Ann Turkel as the bad girl Adrianne St. Clair. Now, however much most people dislike David's performance as Garthe, I can be quite forgiving to the whole thing after that swimming pool scene* with Ann Turkel in her skimpy leopard-print one-piece. The lady is a classic. Check her out as a femme fatal in an episode of SILK STALKINGS as well. Come on, without her in this episode, no way I'd have given such a high score.

    Suzanne Barnes alone is worth another commendation. Superb! She joins the ranks of the (very few) great choices.

    Unfortunately, the great choices were rare.

    I cannot write down KNIGHT RIDER without saying "White Bird" because Catherine Hickland remains my ultimate choice.

    *David Hasselhoff as Khal Drogo? Check out GAME OF THRONES to spot resemblance.

    Michael Stache is back!

    It's the return of the angry Mac truck and the mustached Michael and that one cradle robber. It's a cool way to blend blend different episodes and characters.

    The episodes with Garth are horrible.

    The episodes that feature Garth are horrible. The Garth character is what the writers go to when they didn't have anything better.

    • Trivia
      This two hour TV movie is split up into two parts for syndication.
    • Goofs
      When Goliath is driven out of the garage, a model is used. To conceal the fact that there is no driver, the windshield has been deliberately obscured with dirt and mud. However in all other exterior shots, the windshield is perfectly clean.
    • Quotes

      April Curtis: [to Garthe] You might as well know what I think about you and your destiny. Your destiny is to never have a woman who wants you for yourself. Never have a man who respects you for what you are. Your destiny is death. And if you don't believe me just go take a good look in the mirror. There are holes where your eyes should be. And behind them there's nothing but blackness.
