[Nomad Soul]

I caught the encore tonight. Im kinda torn about it really. The original show was cheesy has hell but it was fun and still is fun to watch even today. Its lost some of the magic watching it now then I had when I was a kid but damn do I love it. Anyway its hard to say how I feel about the new one. It felt like a 2 hour ford commercial with Knight Rider elements honestly. The new KITT is alright I guess, but doesnt seem as awesome and futuristic as the old one since a lot of cars now can do stuff like have satellite navigation, internet capabilities and drive themselves.

The whole nanotech morphing thing seemed like a rip off of the older show VIPER which featured a morphing dodge viper so I dunno at least in Viper it could morph into a 4 wheel drive Viper with huge tires. The show I think focused TOO much on the characters I mean i know they need to establish who they are but Knight Rider was always about KITT and doing a crazy turbo boost at least once an episode and beating the badguys. I have to admit I smiled at the David Hasslehoff cameo at the end. But like he said in there "move forward" which I think tv producers need to do. Let the 80s stay in the 80s and make something new. It was a nice enough movie, but it also reminded me of how ive grown since then and the magic of talking indestructable cars has lost some of its luster.
