    Lame

    Lame storyline that didn't even attempt to be a mystery, just laid it all on the line in the first five minutes. Michael needs to take the hint, he's never gone in an aqueduct and made it out unscathed.

    Average. No loners.

    I always found it strange how the title sequence calls the Michael Knight character a loner when there is basically a big family called the Foundation for Law and Government.

    Anyways, this is a totally average episode. Nothing particularly great. So why am I compelled to write this? It's being aired too often -- I'm not kidding. It's not the episode's fault or anything.

    Sometimes I think whoever at the station knew somebody in a show and keeps re-airing it. Well I'm sick of it. Doesn't matter what day of the week or time of day, the episode is aired. THAT episode.

    Same thing happened about a decade or two ago when A Knight's Tale was almost exclusively showed on a station back-to-back for months, if not over a year. I don't understand these quirks in the entertainment media industry.

    So this is just an ordinary episode of Knight Rider. There are so many that are better. Airing it more often doesn't make it better, and, in fact, makes me and other (probably) start to dislike it. Such as it is with anything forced upon somebody over and over again... like so many other things we see in society.

    • Trivia
      David Hasselhoff was injured whilst filming the close-up of Michael's slide down the elevator, and required "emergency surgery" on his posterior. He remarked to TV Guide at the time, "I'm on my feet and walking around now but I'm not sitting pretty."

      When the henchmen start shooting at Michael and Spider-Man, Michael tells K.I.T.T. they're in a crossfire. They're not in a crossfire as that would imply being caught in the middle of a battle between two sides. They're just being shot at, they're the only target.

      Crossfire only means that incoming fire is from two directions.
    • Quotes

      Bonnie Barstow: K.I.T.T's broken down the components of a smell he picked up on his olfactory scan. It's a mixture of natural gas and, eh, 'Avec Moi', a perfume.

      Devon Miles: Expensive, but not uncommon.

      'RC3' Reginald Cornelius III: How can a perfume cause an explosion?
