In "Merchants of death" Michael is sent to California before Devon diverts him to Phenoix. I thought FLAG's headquarters WERE in Los Angeles, weren't they?

No, Michael was in Reno, Nevada, and then Millston, California. Just because it was called Knight of the Phoenix, doesn't mean that it was set in Phoenix. In fact, the title 'Knight of the Phoenix' was added only after the episode went into syndication. Before that, it was called 'The Pilot', and after, the episode refers to Michael rising back up from his dead self to become Michael Long. He was reborn.

Michael was on his way to Southern California, because Kitt despaired. I don't think he was all too keen about Phoenix either! Devon calls and tells them to 'reverse course'.knightimmortal wrote:Technically, they were never really established as where they really were. It was assumed that it was in Los Angeles. But FLAG seemed to have bases around the country, and Michael was always travelling, so basically he could have been sent back to Southern California, maybe.

What I meant is that nobody is totally sure where the FLAG HQ is, but it was assumed to actually be in or near Los Angeles, KITT balked because of the song for the most part. (It was really bad continuity error on the writer's part.) I know they were being sent into Southern California. I am saying that they were being sent back.

Ehm ... Sent back to Phoenix? Do you mean Devon's line about 'reverse course' there? Sorry - lost the thread of your post, KI. I was agreeing with you about Southern California. Kitt wanted to know the appeal of 'girls in bikinis ...', etc., mentioned in the Beach Boys song he was testing Michael with, so it was both the song and Michael's identification with the Beach Boys' love of California that Kitt was objecting to, I thought. And there was a line cut from one of the earlier versions of the script that had Kitt bemoaning their destination of 'Electra, Arizona', too. Both contrasted with Camela's background and intelligence, which impressed Kitt no end!knightimmortal wrote:What I meant is that nobody is totally sure where the FLAG HQ is, but it was assumed to actually be in or near Los Angeles, KITT balked because of the song for the most part.

I thought "Knight of the Phoenix" meant like Knight of the Fire Bird. Isn't a phoenix a bird in Japan, or whatever? I thought it was like a catchy name. Fire Bird-since that is what KITT is, and Pheonix...i dunno. That was really hard to explain.....hehe.knightimmortal wrote:No, Michael was in Reno, Nevada, and then Millston, California.

The Phoneix is a mythical bird that lives for 500 years and then sets itself on fire and then rises out of its own ashes, a rebirth if you will. That was the idea behind the Firebird if I am not mistaken with its "Screaming Chicken" Decale.

I do think that the legend behind the Phoenix is a little too deep for KR. It's a lighthearted show but having such a title attached to it is kinda a rip off.
The Phoenix isn't really even associated with KR even though there has been some good theories trying to explain it but I just have never bought it!

I think FLAG were supposed to have had offices in Nevada too - their base during 'Goliath' - but I think the main building was supposed to be in California, hence Kitt's licence plates.
Although, I don't know how American plates work. Could Kitt be registered in California and based in Nevada, or would he need replacement Nevada plates if his owner - FLAG/Michael - resided in the latter state?
