Writer: ...................... Gary Scott Thompson Zoe Chae: .................... Smith Cho In the series premiere, Mike's new mission brings him face-to-face with people from a past he does not remember –- Mike and K.I.T.T. are assigned a seemingly easy package delivery -– until they realize the package is actually a man with vital top secret code decryption built into his DNA. The mission gets complicated when the enemies, including a mysterious woman, seem to know a great deal about Mike and a past he can’t recall. TRIVIA:NBC debuted this episode online from September 17th, 2008 as part of their Primetime Preview on Hulu.com, Amazon Unbox, the IMDB and iTunes. Paula Garces was scheduled to reappear in the fourth episode, A Hard Day's Knight, but her scenes were cut. Allan Graf, who is creditted here as a Euro Trash character, is a stuntman and made appearances on the original Knight Rider series; he can be seen in the Original Series' episodes SOUL SURVIVOR and VOODOO KNIGHT. Billy has advanced degrees in Applied Physics, Quantum Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry and Applied Mathematics. Zoe can speak 9 languages. Torres' codename for his secure line is "Shining Armor." Carrie uses SSC (Satellite Surveillance Chamber) "Bypass Security Protocol Alpha Delta 5-7-3." SCRIPT NOTES:Writer-Producer Gary Scott Thompson on the scripting process for this episode: "I guess the biggest thing is that I was watching the 'two-hour' [KNIGHT RIDER: PROMETHEUS] and I thought, 'In the early '80s, cars didn't talk. Now everybody's car talks.' So big deal! What was missing for me was, 'Can your car do this?' I said to NBC, 'That's what you guys are missing and that's what you've got to do. This car has to not just change colours -- this car has to transform into other vehicles. This car has to actually do things. Nano-technology is limitless. Why would you limit what you can do when the whole world is open to you? And with visual effects the way they are now, there's nothing you can't do.' I told them that it has to be balls-to-the-wall fast-paced action and it just has to go, go, go. My biggest objection about the 'two-hour' is that it played just like an episode from the '80s and we're not in the '80s any more. "The characters besides K.I.T.T. have to be fully-three-dimensional, outstanding and people you want to be around. The car is one thing, but the people need to be something else. Nothing against the 'two-hour', but all I know is that going forward this has to be much more elevated." (SFX Magazine #172, August 2008) The episode ends on a more upbeat note than the script, which concluded with the suspenseful scene between Graiman and Torres that foreshadowed Mike's story arc. Alex Torres was originally named Darien Rios. CASTING CALL - A KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR ADVERTISING:
