VK's experience
Posted: Fri Jul 25, 2008 2:25 am
First I'd like to say its been a real pleasure meeting up with Neil, Sue, and Mike even if our discussions have been a bit brief. We're all trying to handle our own business and needs to get the most of our comic con experience.
I have to say it was very fun attending the Knight Rider panel and I like how they improved while the stars were stuck in traffic. I think there were positive things overall and with Neil's detailed transcript you can pretty much draw your own conclusions how to feel about the new series thus far. I think it has potential and visually it has some interesting concepts, especially the 4x4 morphing footage but again it all comes down to the writing and for me, respect for the original mythology. I'm not all that keen on this "new mythology" approach but I can understand that Mike Tracer needs to develop as a character who can carry the show, along with his supporting team.
I do want to say that I had the distinct honor to not only briefly meet three of the stars of Knight Rider but I also managed to get them to sign a very nice horizontal photo of the KR poster (blue and black one with Mike and KITT in a darkened garage) in silver sharpie.
I'd like to personally thank Bruce Davidson, Deanna Russo, and Justin Bruening for taking the time out of an already "over the limit" panel to sign my photo for me. I plan to post up a image of it so you can check it out for yourselves when I return home. I can tell you that Justin is a very cool guy and very fan friendly. He really appreciates the fans who have supported him and he has a geniune admiration for the original KR series.
I think as far as the main star of the show goes, Justin will do an excellent job.
Unfortunately I have niether a scanner nor a way to scale down my digital photos at the moment but look for it later next week. This is just day 1 of a 2 day gathering with the trio from KRO, I look forward to seeing what develops tomorrow with the attack KITT unveiling.
Till then hope everyone is enjoying the exclusive content that Neil and Mike are working hard to bring you. As far as SDCC goes, we're all enjoying the experience of learning new info about the things we love and when you can discover those surprises with good company, everyone wins.
I'll probably go deeper into things later (when I'm on my better laptop) but for now I have to get some rest for tomorrow. Carrying around all those bags of goodies will seriously kill your shoulders!

You must have edited it while I was making my post because all I saw earlier was VK's post being quoted and I think there was your message inside of the quoted area?
