Knight in Retreat

Post by Arjun » Fri Feb 06, 2004 9:12 am

This subject needs some rather open, honest opinions. What do you think of "Knight in Retreat"?

If you ask me, it was a mistake by Foster, Grimaldi and the group. Never seen a worse episode in this season than this one. Just plain cheap. Especially Bianca's right-hand woman, who enjoyed blasting everything and everyone with a zapper- that's what I hated most. Not to mention all those 'cheap scenes' of the victims. Someone asked for an episode to take out of Knight Rider, so I vote for this one.

i didn't like this episode much either, it felt rushed and silly, almost childish. and i always thought it was stupid to bring back that actress for the main guest starring role. i forget her name at the moment.

now i know guest stars would reappear in 80's shows, but she played such a large, predominant and let's not forget #reoccurring# role in season two, that it was just plain daft to bring her back as a different character!

I can't stand the characters played by Ann Turkel very much either. They were a real pain.

ann turkel!! thank you :D

i liked adrienne margot (or is it adrienne st.clair? hehheh ;)) in soul survivor, and her performance in the majority of goliath returns was one of the few redeeming features about that movie.

They did give Michael an cheesy name. It was Dr. Michael Knightwood. And he was supposed to be a scientist.

I also don´t think that Knight in Retreat was among the best episodes of the Knight Rider or in the season 3. However, I also don´t think that this particular episode is one of the worst episodes of the KR. I think that Knight in Retreat is the kind of an episode that you would watch without suffering but won´t consider watching it again and again. My feeling on Knight in Retreat is that it has been made just because they needed one more episode to season 3 or just because the producers wanted bring Ann Turkel back in business.

i do like KNIGHT IN RETREAT it's not that bad of a episode. at least it was last episode of ann turkel that knight rider showed her so at least they were good enough to bring one last epsiode her.
