I don't know what the big thing is about people not liking this show. I admit that the pre-pilot was slow, because they were using a low budget for an untried show. But the premise is great. The show itself started slow, but it has gotten better and better each new episode. The effects are amazing, and most of the actors are pretty good. Justin could do a bit better, but I think his character is supposed to be a little wooden. If people gave this show a try for a few episodes, they would see how good it is becoming. That seems to be the trend with the viewers who have posted on here. The rest bailed after one of two episodes, and keep complaining about it not being like the original. Its 25 years later, and technology has really come a long way. The science of the show isn't entirely possible yet, but it is in the realm of it. I've seen a lot of complaints about the nano-tech and KITTs transformations. Nanotechnology has the ability to restructure things on the cellular level. When it is perfected, many years from now to be sure, a lot of what is shown will be possible. I do think they were trying to capitalize on Transformers, but it sure looks cool. This is a great show, who is finding its legs. I will be sad when and if it gets canceled, but I am hoping the ratings boost that happened from the last few episodes, though small, will be enough to give it another go. I was SO UPSET when Dr. Graiman died. He was a great character, and Bruce Davison is a great actor. They handled it well. The KARR episode was amazing, but I think it should have been utilized longer. However, this marks three times KARR has been defeated, so I am sure he is gone but not forgotten. I really hope it isn't too little too late, because the show is finding its legs and really is getting better. If you checked out early, give it another try. If you're wondering whether to watch this, then I say you'll like it. It just keeps getting better. I want a KITT, and perhaps a Sarah Graiman or a Zoe too. Heh.
