Knight in retreat

[coltras35 · 8/10 · 20 September 2021]

This is Ann Turkel's third appearance in Knight rider, but she's a different character in this one, but just as villainous, oozing cold blooded charm with ease. Her contempt for men is visible when she tells them that she will send the evidence of their involvement to their wives if they don't give her what she wants - one is a missile guidance device and the other a missile. The fun bit is when Michael breaks into Turkel's retreat disguised as Dr Knightwood, a nerdy scientist. It's a well-plotted, action-packed episodes that keeps you gripped.

Mass and Velocity

Wow they really love Ann Turkel as a villain, and it's understandable cause she's awesome, but it would be better if she played the same villain. Storyline was interesting and a few fun moments.

Paging Dr. Hasselhoff

[Fluke_Skywalker · 6/10 · 1 May 2024]

The only thing that stretches credibility more than a talking super car is David Hasselhoff as a physicist. Okay, so his character is only pretending to be a physicist, but still.

This is a pretty boilerplate and ultimately middling episode, but it does have its pluses. The best of which is guest villainess Ann Turkel. Ms. Turkel is an unconventionally attractive woman, with a sort of boss babe thing that kinda makes you want to do bad things for her. She's particularly good here as the genuinely cold and ruthless Bianca Morgan. Backing her up is Randi Brooks, who makes for a fun henchwoman, her questionable karate skills aside.

As usual the 'Hoff is the MVP, bringing his energy, enthusiasm and unfaltering likeability to his role as pop culture's most likable hero.
