thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Knight Rider 2008 01.jpg

message: It should be addressed whether this new series is a re-interpretation/re-imagining or is a continuation of the continuity.
:Hasslehoff is making some for of appearance as Michael Knight, so most likely it is some sort of continuation, but until it airs or more plot details are released, it can't really be addressed with certainty. AnmaFinotera (talk) 04:48, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Of course it can, people involved with the show have stated in several interviews that it is a continuation and that Mike Traceur plays the son of Michael Knight though Michael Knight (and probably Mike) don't know it. I see some names are still not right, including Charles Kamen which was changed to Graiman later on and Mike Tracer is apparently going to have his last name spelt Traceur. In fact I'll go ahead and make the corrections now with a reference which will be the first video located on this page that plays when it loads. http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=14&id=47690   I really need to remember to sign my name...

thread_title: Continuity

message: Admittedly I have no legit source to back this up as the source is an apparent insider that is unverifiable but has posted legitimate info in the past before it was announced. The article that is used as a reference should not be taken seriously as what they have listed does not accurately reflect the new car's actual abilities, while I know some are true (the ones that have been confirmed by other sources), others should be taken with a grain of salt as apparently the producers were messing around and coming up with "ideas" on what the new KITT could do but not serious as PM apparently took it, it's especially apparent as you get further down the list with things such as "1000-Watt Quadraphonic Stereo System". They've also made mistakes on the original KITT's abilities or excluded them in the comparison list, most notable is there being no mention of Turbo Boost. The article really shouldn't be used as a reference in my opinion even if the sillier things are excluded from what is listed here. PHOENIXZERO (talk) 11:02, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Michael Knight 

message: IMDB's page has it as "Traceur". The official NBC page has it as "Tracer". I think in this case, the official page trumps the other sites. I haven't had a chance to look at the actual credits, but unless they differ from the NBC page, in which case a choice would have to be made, I think it's best to keep it as "Tracer". --Fru1tbat (talk) 15:50, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not only does the official site spelled it "Tracer", an onscreen profile of the character specifically spelled it "Tracer." Therefore, that's the canon spelling. -- Voldemore (talk) 22:22, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I noticed that according to a recent edit summary, the spelling "Traceur" was seen on his driver's license? Can anyone confirm this? Right now, the article is half and half, which is ridiculous... --Fru1tbat (talk) 13:42, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is quite ridiculous. I just changed it to Traceur in one of the sections and was reverted, with an editor telling me to check this talk page. I, of course, changed it to Traceur because most sources spell it that way, and this article's plot summary does as well (at this moment in time). If it's Traceur, then this article needs to spell it that way all the way through. Or at least decide on one way to spell it, and go with it...completely Flyer22 (talk) 00:36, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well it's been made uniform throughout the article. El Greco(talk) 14:47, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I just changed it back to Traceur, before I looked here, because this is the way it is spelled on-screen. --AussieLegend (talk) 14:51, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What scene is this? Cause NBC better get their act together if they're different. El Greco(talk) 14:53, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's at about 20:47 when KITT says that after ensuring Sarah's safety he has been programmed to enlist the help of Mike Traceur. There's an image of the dash display and his name is listed as "Mike Traceur". The name badge he is wearing in the photo reads "TRACEUR". --AussieLegend (talk) 15:08, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's good enough for me, looks like NBC made a spelling mistake on their site. El Greco(talk) 15:11, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tracer/Traceur 

message: The KITT heading showed that the Knight 3000 morphs into SPM, which is factually inaccurate.  SPM actually provides a power boost to the Knight 2000 that enables it to travel faster than in non-SPM form.  However, the morph of the Knight 3000 does not appear alter the power output of the car.  It simply functions to give the car a lower (and more performanced-based) profile in order to improve its handling at higher speeds.  In other words, it gives itself a body kit.  This does not mirror the functionality of SPM aside from the profile chances.  It seems to me that calling it "morphing into SPM" makes it fairly inaccurate.  I didn't make the change myself since this will likely draw a discussion; any thoughts?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.223.20.120 (talk) 16:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
