Night Moves, Nobody Does It Better, and Short Notice Review

Knight Rider, a shadowy flight into the dangerous

world of a man who does not exist. to champion

the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the

powerless, in a world of criminals who operate

above the law. Brought to you by the GCR and

audible .com. I am one of your host, TFJR Mike,

and joining me is Dion the Music Man. Hello.

Hello. How are you, sir? I'm good. We finally

got the hot water issue resolved. Oh, yay. Just

after that, yeah, I need to go on a diet because

during sleep last week when I was sleeping, I

must have rolled over the wrong way, and the

weight of me rolling over, because I'm 6 '1",

400, 450, something like that, I don't know,

the weight of me rolling over on the right side

of my bed, essentially just the box spring just

said, nope, sorry, and it went boom, the whole

right side of the bed. Because the box spring

wood broke. It essentially splintered. So for

about, up until today, as we're recording this,

I got a new box spring today. So it's all well

and good now. But for the past week and a half,

I felt like I'd been sleeping on a cliff. because

on the left side of the bed you have to get all

the way up there to make sure you're not going

to fall off. Oh god. Let that happen. Yeah, that's

probably more information that people really

want to know. Today we're going to be going beyond

the night and reviewing the final three episodes

from Knight Rider Classic Season 1. Hit the turbo

boost kit! First up today we've got we're gonna

talk about some night moves Michael tries to

catch hijackers who are knocking off shipments

carried by independent truckers oh I remember

this damn episode so the so the plot of this

one is that truckers are getting hijacked and

Michael must stop them but the sabotage comes

from a friend okay hmm okay Fast and the Furious

give Knight Rider some money damn it I swear

to God, as soon as I saw this episode, I was

like, yeah, that's pretty much the Fast and the

Furious from 2001. Yeah. But I know we mentioned

it last week, and I don't remember. I got to

go back and rewatch last week's episodes, I guess,

because my note for the plot of this one was

it seemed to me like this was the first time

we saw the classic semi, the black and gold.

The black and gold, yes. Yeah. with the night

chess piece. I could have sworn we said last

week that there was an episode last week where

we thought it was. I think there was one of the

episodes where we did say that, but I think this

is the official episode where we did see that.

Yeah, where we did see the full -on thing. What

is the deal with a lot of these 80s actresses?

Who are you speaking of in particular? Terry.

She was hot. Terry was not hot. She was maybe

not in the face department, but you know That's

kind of the point You know And I get the whole

oh, I'm a tomboy thing in this then yeah, I get

that but I don't know The plot overall like I

said, it's essentially, you know Fast and furious

with kit Kind of like a precursor. Yeah pretty

much But you know, it's it's the whole thing

of you have to oh these truckers are getting

knocked off and oh it's from a family friend

who is a rival trucker and you know a rival trucking

company and this and it it's just Know people

are probably gonna get sick of me and you and

whoever else if we ever have any guests on the

show Which you probably won't but you know, I

know people are gonna get sick of us saying this

but This is a cliched Classic 80s plotline of

oh the best friend editor. Oh the girlfriend.

Yeah, I Didn't feel like where I have and I think

I've said this before Where I personally have

the most connection to this show is episodes

where shit happens to the main characters. I

agree, yeah, because everything else is a filler

episode. Everything kind of goes out the window.

Everything else goes out the window. Yeah. Pretty

much. Did you have any thoughts on the overall

plot? No. This one's kind of, if you're interested,

great. Watch it. If you're not, turn your channel

or the DVD off or go to the next episode. I triple

dog dare anyone to watch this episode and watch

the first, the Fast and the Furious film, at

least the first scene of the Fast and the Furious

film, the very first film from 2001. Watch them

side by side. tell me that they're not the same

damn thing all right let's let's turn the scanners

on here it can move anything hey he can't do

that he moves the truck mm -hmm hot night now

that's a cold name oh god I'm gonna have so much

fun editing this episode with kits trucker speak

Sheriff the dang car mood by itself. I Love how

they make the music be all epic. Yeah, you know

That's a separate note actually, um, I you know

the whole sheriff thing is like, oh my god, it's

so stupid But I do love how that how Don Makes

the music be all epic and everything when people

are sneaking up on kit Yet when they attack the

car, there is then comical music to back the

scene. Yeah. It's so hilarious. So funny. I've

seen kit turbo boost through a lot of stuff.

And it's been really cool. And it's been freaking

awesome. But never has a turbo boost ever really

shocked me. This one shocked me. Wow. Was that

a turbo boost or what straight through the ass

end of the van? Cut the van in half Yeah, that

was like where did that come from and who dreamed

up that stunt? Yeah I believe I'm remembering

an episode that we'll get to at some point I

forget when or where but this will not be the

last time that kit has the CB speak Oh, I know

what it is. I know exactly when it is now It's

not really CB speak, but it's it's along those

lines and it's in JYD in season 3 so we'll get

to that Um overall an enjoyable episode to watch

even though the plot sucks. I did really enjoy

the whole thing of Really an an action based

episode Action episode without an actual story,

which I really did enjoy about it. What about

you? What are your good points for this one?

Michael teaching kit CB lingo And kit actually

kind of getting to enjoy the Uh kit getting getting

interested in the CB lingo and one of my favorite

lines from him is CB or what is it trucker shorthand

brutalizes my vocabulary banks So and then by

the end of the episode he is fully yes, he's

fully embracing the episode I love that I love

that and that was just great. That was awesome.

It was because At first, he didn't really want

to have anything to do with it. He's like, no,

no. And then near the end of the, you know, at

the end of the episode, he's just completely

enthralled in it. He can't get away from it.

So I thought those were great highlights of the

episode. That was awesome. What I'm finding about

rewatching this series is how much range. I know

William Daniels is an amazing actor. He just

is. Oh, God, yes. How much range he has as Kit?

You've got the CV speak. I don't know. I'm going

to have to research this from when we get to

it in season four. But Killer Kit. Was that his

voice? That was his voice with a voice changer.

Right. With a vocoder. Right. OK. Good deal.

Good deal. I was going to say because I ain't

your pal. Yeah, we'll get to that later. Yeah,

that was that was his voice with a voice changer,

right? but my point here is is that it has his

his vocal range and his emotion and Even even

the alien episode that we covered with you know,

hello earth It just the way that William is his

tones like okay. Sure. We know that when he's

in brain mode, I guess you could say, or brainiac

mode, where he's, you know, where, you know,

Michael, you know what the odds are on that?

Just the scientific stuff. Yeah, yeah. Scientific

gobbledygook. But, you know, I absolutely love

that about William Daniels in this role, and

I know that it, I believe it's been said that...

He didn't want to be known as the voice of the

voice of a talking car No, he did not but everybody

knows him from that show. I know and I don't

If we ever get to interview in which I'm hoping

we will at some point we have to ask him about

why he doesn't Why he didn't want to be known

as that because I read an interview They asked

him about that and they said that he would agree

to do it. But only if he's Only if his name was

not put in the credit in the credits as the voice

of a car He would write you that he would agree

to do the show. Yeah. Yeah All right, so let's

let's move on here it will enable you to monitor

the location of any a IT truck with a CB radio

No kidding. That should give kid a chance to

brush up on his trucker lingo Trucker shorthand

brutalizes my vocabulary banks. So let's turn

the scanners off. I only have one negative to

this, which I think if it wasn't in there, it

wouldn't have made the episode that much of a

difference if it wasn't there. So the middle

man, that third person that ended up getting

killed, that third guy. Was just unwanted competition.

It seems like a lame red herring. It seems like

Something that if it if that part of it wasn't

there and you still kept the main aspects of

the plot It would be the episode would have been

fine That's my only net pick for scanners off.

What's that? That same thing? Yeah, I mean cuz

as we said in scanners on you know, this essentially

is a full -on action centric episode with light

on actual story and that's fine because we all

love you know the action and stuff like that

but with the same time we do love a story um...

so yeah i mean that you know that that whole

part could have been dropped in this episode

would have still been pretty damn decent yeah

like i said the note that you're putting in here

for scanners off when i watched this episode

again that was my only nitpick for scanners off

was this note you know the third person it didn't

need to be there yeah really it didn't need to

be there so other than that everything else was

fine we're gonna move on to the next episode

Julian is a devious little worm. I wouldn't put

anything past him. He may have been fooling around

with her, but he didn't kill her. Now, there's

one road out of this now, and if I see either

one of you on it, the lady dies. Let's get him,

buddy! Up next is Nobody Does It Better. Isn't

that a, um... Carly Simon song. Carly Simon song.

Yeah, I was trying to think of the... I was trying

to think of the name, yeah. uh... mild intends

with interference from an overzealous private

eye played by gail edwards while he tries to

discover who's stealing computer software secrets

and the phoenix part three that uh... man not

really no but uh... not even close i i i have

to say when watching this episode It really drew

me in because they start this episode like they've

never started a Knight Rider episode Because

I do have a couple of plot notes here we start

with a criminal element at work exclamation point

Whoa that ain't no criminal or is it holy what

what the what the hell Is it first because at

first when you see the The guy in the ski mask,

you see him sneaking around. You don't think

about, oh, it's just a common criminal breaking

in somewhere, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

And then there's that however tall Hoff is. And

you see his face through the ski. I'm like, what

the fuck is going on here? Seriously, what the

hell? But I really did you know I thought all

the cloak and dagger stuff made for a really

really interesting episode And kind of a I guess

you could say an 80s jump the shark moment is

I Think it was the I think it was the private

eye chick that essentially screamed when she

found the woman dead yeah, I was like So yeah,

did you have any notes on the plot of this one?

No, the plot? You're right, kind of a small indentation

of Night of the Phoenix, but not as big. Well,

I mean, just by, you know, the computer ship

thing, I mean, that's just a little thing. Yeah.

I'm not saying that, you know... No, I'm not

saying that this is a complete... Okay, they're

borrowing from Night of the Phoenix. I'm not

saying that at all, but it's a small dent meaning

Okay, they're talking about computer software

whereas Night of the Phoenix dealt with a computer

chip and You know that type of thing but the

whole plot of this show or not the show but this

episode anyway was One investigator playing against

the other here. Yeah You know you had somebody

who was framed for stealing software Not to mention

this guy was very very nervous Julian Groves

was very very nervous and Just the whole the

whole thing of private eye against private eye

in a matter of speaking you have the foundation

for law and government and then another private

Organization who we don't even find out who she

works for So that very very high tension. Oh

she was a She was a private eye, you know, like

you go out and you get your PI license I mean

she was a private and like, you know you think

of Okay, I know I know that there's a difference

listeners. So don't you know? Crucify me for

this reference here. I know there's a difference

between a Private investigator and a bounty hunter,

but think of dog the bounty hunter, you know

They got their training, they got this, they

got that, they are deputized for the law. Same

thing with PIs. She was her own private investigator.

She wasn't reporting to anybody. The other guy,

I think, was reporting to somebody. The guy that

hit Michael in her place of business. Remember?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was working for someone

else that we I don't think we really find out

who who he was working for But but the Gail Simone

character was her own But I think I think yeah,

I think Gail Simone's character was hired by

Julian's wife if you remember, right? She was

yeah. Yeah, so yeah, you know Michael just kept

getting in her way, but or vice versa But no,

I really dug this. A lot of these types of television

shows, episodes, movies, anything in the visual

medium that upfront shows you a CEO of a company

at the very beginning that seems like you think

in the back of your mind, hey, he's the dude.

He's the guy that, you know what I mean? But

I didn't really catch it until, like, you know,

I didn't really almost catch up to it until almost

the end. And that's one of the reasons why I

really enjoyed it. I liked this episode for that

reason. Yeah, exactly. That's one of the reasons

outside of the solely continuity character -based

episodes why I can look at an episode of Knight

Rider like nobody does it better and say, this

was a really damn good episode because it told

a great story. It had great action. And it didn't

bore you to death. And it didn't want to make

you rip your friggin ears off from here some

dumb blonde soap opera bitch See I worked her

out without having to say the name of the episode

or the name of the character That was great.

I hate to tell you though. We will see her again

You never too old for video games let's turn

the scanners on This is, again, with any 80s

icon, whether that be Michael Knight, David Hasselhoff,

whether that be John McClain, Die Hard, Bruce

Willis, whether that be Marty McFly, Back to

the Future, any 80s icon that embraces some sort

of geeky culture is just simply amazing to me.

They are part of the gods. No, the reason why

I'm saying this is because of one line that Michael

Knight has in this episode, and we will probably

be using it somewhere in here. You're never too

old for video games. Ain't that the damn truth?

Oh, yes. Oh. Michael's playing video games while

Kit is driving. Yeah. Kit. Yes, Michael, just

keep driving. The turbo boost in this, right

before Julian explains the plot, wasn't that

a stock turbo boost shot? I believe it was. I

think it was. Again, I'm not saying that I don't...

I put it in scanners on because I liked it, I

thought it was interesting, and I like catching...

Well, I like catching in the episodes where the

title sequence gets the stock footage from. Right.

Or the title shot. So that's pretty much. And

as I already said, this episode has a great story,

a great plot. I mean, that's pretty much all

I wrote down. So what do you have for good parts

about this one? Great story, great plot. The

turbo boost scene was great. Like you said, I

believe that was from the stock footage. that

they used it from and what was kind of funny

is we get to see Julian hyperventilating in kit

um just what are you doing you know hang on and

it's just he's freaking out while you know um

Michael counts to three and you see him turbo

boost and things like that and they it was just

awesome It was it was just so very awesome So

let's turn the scanners off I have three actually

surprisingly even though I love this episode

Why does Michael always get involved with troubled

women? It's it's one of two things with him it's

either fast and loose women who want to jump

his bones or Troubled women that just are no

good Okay, yeah, this is a note to the I forget

what her name is the The PI there. The whole

point of being a private investigator is to observe

and surveil, not just bust in taking pictures.

That whole scene where I - That scene, yes, where

she finds the dead body. Where she finds the

dead body, yeah. That was the dumbest thing I

have ever seen. That was one of my notes for

scanners off. Yeah. So you want to share that.

Yeah, I mean that was the that was just so stupid

Just so stupid the CEO double cross really that

was Not I think if you really watch this episode

you were gonna tell that somebody was gonna double

cross somewhere Yeah Yeah pretty much. What about

you? What did you have for scanners off besides

the one that we shared? The CEO double cross,

like you said, and probably the chemistry between

Michael and the private eye. I understand that

it's a private eye thing and it's a flag thing.

It seems that if an organization such as the

Foundation for Law and Government and police

are involved in the same case and you're talking

to somebody who was hired from, you know, such

as Michael Knight from the Foundation for Law

and Government. There seems to be a very, very

high hostility level. Yeah. Yeah, there is. Not

that you mentioned it. Did you ever think of

that? It's been in the back of my mind, but normally

those episodes. with the exception of a couple

are Normally those episodes are the cops or the

sheriff or whoever the judge they're usually

corrupt but now that you you know now that you

think about it it you know if you look at a Nice

and decent not a nice and decent little town.

What the hell's the other one? The the pig -headed

sheriff and Dave Dave Dave Davey Good crap good

day at White Rock. Yeah Yeah, good day at wire.

You know, he wasn't corrupt. He was just blind

to what was going on. Yeah, he was like a peace

officer and he didn't really want to... But at

the same time, I can kind of see why law enforcement,

whether it be police or CIA or lawyers or whoever...

Like official governmental bodies. I can see

why they would be suspicious and um what's the

other one? I'm going with Marty. We're oh god.

We just Plush right no no not a not not a plush

ride. Yes the the final verdict Yeah, yeah, there

you go the final verdict um you know I understand

why That they actually, you know, why the governmental

bodies would have issues with Flagg. That police

officer had some serious issues with Mr. Michael

Knight there. Well, right, but the other thing

is, you got to think about this, though. Michael

Knight has only been alive for a year, two years.

Think about that, though. True. Remember? True.

Because before Michael Knight, he was Michael

Long and he was a police officer. And, you know,

and they even say in Night of the Phoenix, you

know, you know, three, you know, up until three

months ago, Michael Knight didn't exist. So that's

why I think we're going to see a lot of that

with the law enforcement and stuff. Now, there

are episodes like a plush ride where Devon will

come in with the police and they'll say, Michael,

do you need any assistance? No, just some privacy.

But I just thought of that it was like okay every

time flag or you know the flag and police meet

up You know if Michael Knight and the police

officers meet up with each other. There is some

very high hostility Yeah, there is pretty much

um like we said overall um this episode was pretty

damn good There's not real. I mean there there

are a few nitpicks nothing huge. Yeah, nothing

huge so We're gonna move on. Having fun now?

Yeah! What kind of car is this? I watch you tell

Tiny how sorry you are because you wasted his

brother. I can do! I'm facing a murder charge

here. I'd help you if I could. Come back to the

long pine and testify on my behalf. I'll help

you get your daughter back. And finally up today

we give our short notice Literally after much.

Yes after Michael unintentionally kills a cycle

gang member The only witness played by Robin

Curtis insists that he recover her kidnapped

child before she will help him Okay before we

get into the rest of the for you to the rest

of the plot everything else like this if you

If you really look at this episode You know we

were talking last week you asked me if last week

you asked me if I thought white bird would fit

after night of the phoenix and you know we we

had this guy I did now remember if you took If

you took episode 22 short notice and took episode

19 white bird and flip -flop them It would have

made a hell of a lot more sense because you have

a nice little and decent town, nice and decent

little town, Charita Gold. If you had short notice

there, that would have been fine. Night moves,

nobody does it better. And then Whitebird, making

Whitebird the season finale would have been the

best move for the producers and the creators

and everything else because... Short notice essentially

is it's not a season finale. It's you know, it's

it's it's not a season closer. It's a regular.

It's just a regular episode that kind of falls

in play with the rest of them. And you would

think Whitebird would have kind of said, all

right, this is how we're going to end season

one. You get to see we get to see a little more

of Michael's past. And and this is how we're

going to close it out. And I know we'll talk

about this again later on down the line for season

four. Not only season four, I don't think. Let

me look here really quickly. Let's see. You know,

not even four. Was it just season four? No, season

two ends on Big Iron. Michael and kids investigation

into the theft of heavy equipment from a financially

strapped contractor season two did it and Season

three did it season three ended with circus nights

That's right. Yeah again if you Okay Here's and

I know we should probably sit We should probably

save this because we're supposed to be here talking

about short notice But since short notice is

the season one finale. Here's how I see the four

seasons of the classic show Season one should

have ended with white bird Season two if I was

really choosing here Should have ended with the

Goliath Returns 2 parter. Yay! I'm glad somebody

else felt that way! Should have ended with the

Goliath Returns 2 parter. Right, the second 2

parter. Season 3 if you flip -flop Circus Knights

and Junkyard Dog. Because Junkyard Dog... Was

essentially where kit had to be rebuilt after

falling in the ass right and Then of course series

finale should have been sent to roses So yeah,

that's that's why I said Bring all this up again.

Oh Of course we will but but I understand. I'm

actually glad you're thinking the same way. I'm

Thanking for these seasons because I'm like,

you know season two should have had the second

Goliath to parter season three The episode you

just mentioned junkyard dog and then season four

the scent of roses So, you know as far as getting

back to short notice here, um It wasn't okay.

It was a weird episode. It was a weird Um, it

was just, it was really weird. I didn't care

for it as the season ender. The only part of

the episode I really liked was when they were

in the little town there, um, trying to get away

from the bad guys at the very end. That's really,

the plot is, it is just so cliched. Um, essentially

- Natalie was cute. Huh? Natalie? The mother?

The little girl. Oh, the little girl, yeah, yeah,

yeah. She was, yeah. OK, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah,

she was. The little girl was cute. The little

girl was cute because she's sitting there in

kit. And this is where that whole thing of last

week where I said the kids and the other guests.

The the other people that ride and kid this is

where I said about the secrets because this is

where she you know kids like let's just keep

it a secret, you know That was good But the whole

thing with the mother of I'm not gonna clear

you until I get my daughter I found that to be

so bogus and I'm like, you know what? Yeah, no

So let's turn the scanners on. What do you got?

Well, there's a couple of notes that I wrote

down and one of them is when Michael and the

mother Nicole leave Natalie inside kit and You

know Natalie's looking around and she's like

wow And she's talking about the car she's talking

about kit and everything and she's like well

no car no other car does this and you know you

hear Natalie say other cars say please close

the door and your door is ajar and what else

can you do and you see these huge eyes and she's

like you have eyes wow and she's like what else

can you do and so you know kids kind of showing

off a little bit and then the other part I like

is do you talk and I find this I found this to

be funny from William Daniels. My not Michael,

I'm sorry, Natalie, you know, cars can't talk.

I found that to be funny. The second note I have

written down was when they go into the town and

Michael leans in and says, you want something?

And she goes, yeah, ice cream. He's like ice

cream, one ice cream. She's like two. And Michael's

like two. And that is like, please. And she's

like, yeah, he's like two. So then, of course,

then you hear Kit saying, my what big tonsils

you have. Natalie responds with, I don't think

you're very funny. And kids like Natalie. Are

you mad at me? Yes, can't you tell? And kids

like, I most certainly can. Will you tell me

why? And of course, you know, Natalie's explaining

the whole thing of keeping a secret and things

like that. And Kit getting her to understand

that sometimes it's hard to talk in front of

grownups. And I just think that at least those

two notes there. And actually the third note

I have, the final note, is when Kit takes Natalie

for a ride back to Devon by herself. Those were

my three notes there. And those were just cute

moments in the episode for me. Yeah, they were.

I have often wondered if, OK. Okay, now this

is really going to come into play. I actually

put it in next week's episode post, but I screen

grabbed the image where Michael does the whole

turbo boost thing and he is pushed back into

the seat. And my note is, now I have often wondered

if that was just a stunt image. or if the boost

really does throw Michael back in the seat, meaning

if, like, okay, you hit the turbo boost, the

car goes, and maybe the seat automatically reacts,

or if that's, you know, David being in the seat

himself and him doing the reaction. It's very

possible. I've often wondered that if... that

seat when the turbo boost button is hit I've

often wondered if that driver's seat is a stunt

seat I'm not really sure if any of the listeners

that are huge nutrider fans want to write in

and let us know feedback at geekcastradio .com

It's just one of those things where it just it

really it didn't strike me weird I I love when

Michael does that because there were times You

know when one, you know as a kid when I was riding

in my mom's car Whatever else and we sped up

really fast. I would do that myself. Yeah, I

did it too. Yeah I found this really funny. This

is the only reason why it's a good note. Um,

Michael is heading to Arizona why is sweet home

alabama playing on the radio yes uh... uh...

uh... and i love that i thought i can tell areas

that when he has to save nicole one of the times

he picks up like a ragdoll and throws it will

throws are over his shoulder whether a young

boy or a young girl all kids will have fun in

kids yes they do and in the end i have to love

the and again it did it had a real old west feeling

it's a jousting of cars or an old west showdown

i love kit versus the white car that was kind

of cool i love the i love the the ending scene

we see the guy with the gun i don't remember

his name but the guy you know uh... the guy at

the gut he throws it down Advang you know Michael's

advancing towards the guy and they You know get

ready. They're getting ready to fight basically

Yeah, I find it funny that Well, I did I find

it funny and hilarious Michael gets the first

swing before the guy it can even react. It's

like whoa. Where did that come from? No is this

There was an episode. We may have already covered

it in a past podcast episode Huh know what what

now? No, I'm I'm asking We might have already

covered the episode that this happens in but

wasn't there another episode where Michael says

to one of the bad guys normally I let you swing

first Or I wait until you swing. He says normally

I let you swing first But your case, I'll make

an exception. No, he doesn't say I'll make out

this case. I won't make an exception. That was

in Whitebird when Stevie was in the car. And

that's right. Yeah. And he says, no, OK. Yeah.

Yeah. These episodes are starting to run together.

We're only we're only one season down of this

show and a lot of the A lot of the lines and

a lot of the episodes, unless it's that straightforward

continuity bits, a lot of the regular lines are

starting to run together for me. Have you noticed

that too? Okay, good. I'm not the new one. I

don't have to feel that way then. No naps. Perish

the thought. So let's turn the scanners off.

I only have two actually. for a second there

i was gonna say you mean to tell me that woman

slept through all the yes uh... when they're

in the hotel and the bikers come along and start

shooting the place up i thought the call was

still there and my note is you mean tell me that

she slept through to lulled gunshots but she'd

already she she already left you already ran

away Yeah, that was my note too, actually. Right,

yeah, yeah. I was like, wait a second, that's

not going to... There's no way in hell anyone

can sleep through a gunshot. No, especially since

they're that loud. Yeah, exactly. Okay, so again,

just like the last episode we talked about, Nobody

Does It Better, where there was that whole one...

Not nobody does it better. The episode before

that... Night Moves. Not Night Moves. There's

the whole thing of you have a plot point that

really doesn't... It's just added in there as

a red herring with the third guy. Same thing

here. The bikers show up to her father's house

and the maid is shown letting them in. Maid is

never seen again. Does the maid die? Do they

kill her? She was taken by the bad guys, yet

they never show her again. Um, actually she was

shown twice. I don't remember seeing her at the

end of the episode. Not at the end of the episode.

That's what I'm saying. She was shown once when

when Michael and Nicole went to her father. She

was shown then and she was shown again when the

bikers showed up to the house looking for Nicole.

She was also shown, and you had already mentioned

this, but before he goes to Arizona to track

her down. Right, but what I'm saying is we see

the maid once when we first have interactions

at the father's house. We see her again briefly

when she's taken hostage. No, no, no before that

we see her again briefly when It's like right

after Michael and Nicole leave her something

and then see her when she's taken hostage. Yeah

after she's taken hostage Never see her again.

So what what the hell happened to the maid? Did

she die? Did it doesn't really know it there's

no there's no continuity with that No, not at

all. What do you got for low moments of this

one? Low moments would be Why would Michael kill

a motorcycle gang member Well That's really not

I don't really I mean I I see where you're coming

from there But the thing of it is is if you if

you look at that beginning scene again The biker

did break into his hotel room. They struggled

with the gun and it went off and it went off

so i mean it wasn't like hmm i have to build

goliath oh there's a cameraman that's gonna see

me bang with my gun cane. There's a little preview

for season two people. You know, it's not like

that. It was, you know, a struggle and the gun

went off. I couldn't really tell if like, I mean,

I knew there was a break, but I didn't know if

somebody had the gun and maybe David. The bad

guy had the biker had the gun. They struggled

and it went off and it killed him. Yeah. You

know, it wasn't like Michael was standing on

a grassy knoll with a sniper's rifle. Well, and

even he says, you know, if I don't take care

of this, you know, the police are going to look

through my past with a magnifying glass. Well,

right, but he's saying that because it was, you

know, it was self -defense. He wasn't saying

that in the meaning of, oh my God, I murdered

somebody. You know, it was essentially. Yeah,

exactly. Nobody knows who Michael Knight is except

for Flagg. Yeah. And Stevie. Well, yeah. So.

I know a secret. Hey, Chuck. Hey, what's up,

right? You know how we talk about doing a podcast?

Well, I have some ideas run past you. Yeah, what

do you got? I thought we should base it on comics.

Well, there's thousands of podcasts about comics.

You kind of want to narrow it down a bit. Well,

what about Star Wars? Still, there's a ton of

those out there. What else you got? We could

always do G .I. Joe comics. There's still a ton

of those out there. What about the 80s franchises?

There's already a few of those as well. Then

let's forget about comics. Let's focus on toys

and action figures. Dude, then we're back to

thousands of podcasts. Well, is anyone covering

all those things I mentioned in one podcast?

No one would be crazy enough to do that. Then

that's what we'll do. Are you serious? Yep. Come

and listen to Star Joe's podcast. You can find

us at starjoes .com or find us on iTunes. We

.com Geek cast radio All right, uh final thoughts

on uh on today's episodes Wow, Knight moves just

here. You can watch it, but don't expect any

huge twists out of it. Yeah. What would you rank

it? What would I rank it? I would rank it two

out of five. Nobody does it better. Again, I

mean, yes, OK, it's a short dent of Knight of

the Phoenix, but not by much. Right, I mean it's

like I said in the episode. It just has the little

come right. It talks about the computer stuff

Yeah, I mean that's that's about it. Yeah, that's

the only reference we see I would give that a

three and a half and Wow this last episode it's

hard to rank I'll be very honest because You

have some heart in this one Yeah So I guess even

though the even though the episode probably In

it depending on rankings would get a one depending

on who was listening to this in there You know

from the listeners point of view. I would have

to give it a five Because there is some heart

in this Yeah, so for me Night moves gets a one.

Oh Yeah, the whole thing with the It just no

no trucking say the whole trucking thing Yeah,

yeah, and it's a whole plot thing and everything

else should have brought this up earlier and

it just made me think Devon again Once once again

has his moment. He has his spot, you know moment

in the spotlight Right. Yeah, but I didn't think

of that until now so But you gave that one a

one, huh? Yeah, I didn't really care for it all

that much. What about nobody does it better?

I give it a four. I really enjoyed it. I thought

it was I thought it was great I Thought the whole

thing of you know, the the mystery and the intrigue

was pretty awesome. So Would give that a four

as far as short notice as a season finale I give

it a one as a regular episode I can give it a

five because of the heart that it does. Yeah,

I agree with you there as a season finale I gave

it a one but as the heart part of that I would

give it a five Yeah Now, before we close out,

before we give out any information or anything

else like that, something I found out about a

little bit too late. I wish I knew about this

at the time. From October 5th to 7th, 2012, at

Universal City, California, there was Knight

Rider Reunion. Ooh. It was a convention type

thing in California. Yep, and The only reason

why I found out about it showed up Well, I'm

gonna go through that here in a second. The only

reason why I found out about that is because

of a Because of a video promotion that one of

one of the people on YouTube and Facebook that

I follow Randall Nigg. He does the Transformers

animation videos and stuff like that. He also

did one for this and everything else. Now after

I saw the video of Randall's, I went on to KnightRiderReunion

.com and I looked at the guest list. You're not

going to believe this. Peter Paros. Yay! Rebecca

Holden. Even better, yay! Michael Sheff, who

was the original Kit designer. Ron Martinez,

who was a producer on the show. Jeff Osterhage,

who played... Don't know the names. You will.

Think Kit vs. Carr. He played John Stanton. I'll

be damned! Yep. Musician -composer Don Peake.

the Knight Rider historians AJ Pomgren and Joe

Huth who wrote the unofficial Joe Huth the fourth

who wrote the official the the unofficial Knight

Riders guide yeah I haven't read that yet I'd

love to now get this okay you got musician composer

Don Peake you've got the Knight Rider historians

and then the very next person I don't know I

don't know how this convention went off without

a hitch Stu Phillips, musician, composer. Wow.

Makes you wonder if those two ever spoke to each

other. It really does. Richard Anderson, who

played Dr. Ralph Wesley. I don't remember him.

Now, I'm surprised that they haven't since the

convention is over. I'm surprised the website

hasn't updated these, but there's producer, writer,

surprise guest, which it does not. It does not

show the list. You've got Burden Aramis who was

a producer writer. You've got Lewis Race who

was an assistant director. Daphne Ashbrook who

was Catherine Granger. I don't remember that

role. I'm sure we'll find out. I do. I remember

her. Where is she from? She is in... I don't

remember the episode but we will cover it. She

was... Catherine Granger, she was the one in

season two about the locket. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

Now you want to talk about bringing in, um, you

know, all, all generations of Knight Rider, Carmen

Argeziano, Russell Maddock from 2000. Oh dear

God. And the director from 2000, Alan J. Levy.

Uh, the sondra curry who played francesca morgan

yeah francesca francesca francesca whatever but

it's francesca terry james who is half okay get

this terry james who is hassle hoffs stunt double

uh... fireball tim who is the hollywood car designer

and has two other mystery guests and it doesn't

have a classification for them I, as soon as

we get done recording this episode of the podcast,

or whenever, I am going to be emailing whoever

controls this website and asking them who these

mystery guests are, because I want to know who

else was there. I want to know if Latricia ever

showed. If they can get Stu and Don together

and the place doesn't explode. Yeah. You know,

I'm sure. And, you know, these are people from

All aspects and these other special guests that

aren't shown on the website could be, you know,

the, what is it, one or two slots? How many slots

was it? It was, there was one slot, producer

writer. That could have been someone from Knight

Rider 2008. We don't know. So that's why I am

going to contact the webmaster or the people

in charge of this website and find out. I wonder

if Glenn went too. Well, I'm going to email him.

That'd be interesting to find out. Yeah. Yeah,

it would be. You want to remind people of your

other love? Yeah, my other love was broadcasting.
