There goes our isotope

Best season starter of the series, there were a few cool car moments and fairly decent acting. The cast was expanded and awesome modifications to the classic KITT look.

Larger scale, but awful characters

Props to the producers for upping the game for the fourth season premiere. It's supersized, got that "TV movie" vibe, and they actually filmed it in the Windy City (as opposed to setting the story anywhere in the U.S. and filming it among the dirt roads and mountains of obviously-Los Angeles). Production values speak volumes. It's an episode of gimmicks, be it a new recurring cast member or a sweet new upgrade for K.I.T.T.

Sadly, those upgrades don't cover the villains as well, which are downright awful. Cluesless henchmen led by waxy-handed robot guy. It undercuts the "death" of a major character when it's at the hands of discount bad guys.

Trivia
The prop in the vault was also used in Lt. Worf's sickbay room in the Star Trek The Next Generation season 5 episode "Ethics."

Goofs
When KITT's convertible mode is first revealed, we get a good look at the dashboard. Most of KITT's displays and buttons are seen to be cardboard cutouts or white tape.

Quotes
Fake Devon Miles: Michael, you're always complaining about aborted vacations, well, now's your chance.
Michael Knight: Now?
Fake Devon Miles: Yes, four whole weeks to do with as you please.
Michael Knight: What is going on here? You don't just throw K.I.T.T. away like a TV set or a toaster!
