At least they solved one of the most vexing of Sci Fi problems - how to make a mustang squeal or spin it's tires? just stand in a lake all the time. For this show, just keep the roadway soaked wherever the car will be. Guess Dodge still had the rights to squealing on gravel left over from Duke of Hazzard.
Real cars spin their fat tires on clean dry hot blacktop. Since GM stopped making them, they could have used a Viper.



Been done

The Alliance said they were gonna waltz through Serenity Valley. And we choked 'em with those words. We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty.

KR 2008 is a backdoor pilot, meaning that if it does well it will be considered a pilot for a new series, if it does poorly it will be a stand-alone TV movie.

Wouldn't be hard to think that.

I saw it and it was ok. It wasn't terrible, it wasn't good either. The worst was when the truck smashes into Kitt and it didn't fly down the street (it just stopped the truck and kitt survived unscratched.) Oh Also driver of the truck survived as did the 90 year old man in the back seat on the passenger side of the car lived but the other people died. The Truck was driving about 60 - 90 mph.

I agree, that was abysmally stupid.
