Michael's Revenge | The Scent of Roses | Knight Rider

[@pam1244]

KITT's unwavering loyalty to Michael... KITT: I don't believe what you're doing is right, but I'll stay with you! If that isn't love for a friend, I don't know what is.

[@Longlostpuss]

Love for a friend??? Not to be a stickler, but K.I.T.T. nearly cost Michael his life right at the beginning of the episode by not giving him the heads up that the guys coming out of the building he was just about to enter, were armed to the teeth and watched him get pumped full of lead by an assault rifle. K.I.T.T. by this point of the series was not the same entity that began the show, he technically died in Junkyard Dog and the version that was rebuilt was, and continued to be, a complete liability. K.I.T.T. of seasons 1 and 2 would never have allowed that to happen. Dr Vonvordermen was right, he should have been reclassified for light duty, it nearly cost Michael his life, the very thing he was designed to protect! If you pick up on the subtle little nuances since Junkyard Dog, you'll see K.I.T.T. is haphazard and no longer the same diligent partner to Michael that he used to be. Case in point is Knight of The Juggernaut where he got complacent again and nearly had both of them permanently deceased. In fact, Season 4 saw many many near misses because K.I.T.T. became poor at detecting and pre-empting hazards.

[@Longlostpuss]

@@JustinMacri007 Wasn't my term, but think the engineer just meant normal recreational driving use, not for special mission use in the field where the driver would be put in dangerous situations and have to depend on K.I.T.T. with his life.

[@MichaelMyers689]

Even knowing the beginning, Michael didn’t know KITT that much he still respected him like a family member

[@a120068020]

Knight of The Juggernaut K.I.T.T. asks Michael to abandon ship and save himself, but Michael didn't and Michael was the one who decided to take on Goliath head on with a plan to take out a wheel - didn't work out too well. Knight Industries should have let K.I.T.T. have the final say as a logical being, not allow a human with all their emotions and biases to override the machine. In the future I believe that driverless cars will become so refined, they will take steering wheels out of them so humans can't get drunk, angry, drive with an impairment, tired, and just....human.

[@Anonymous-qg9xx]

When Michael asked KITT to block out the foundation....Michael must have thought "this is not foundation work...this is personal intense anger against my wife's murderer!!"

[@michaelcooper4986]

The mid 80's what a magical time for television series airwolf, mcguyver, the a team and knight rider

[@AdamDeanMusic]

Like many others have commented, I also consider this the final episode. Michael returns to the Foundation with KITT, but you can tell he is not the same person. A big part of him died with Stevie, and his depression eventually made him leave the Foundation for good. It ties into the Knight Rider 2000 movie perfectly.

[@UnknownRaiderGuy]

It’s a video game in the works that takes place right after scent of roses (Knight Rider : The Fan game)

[@dininliketony917]

@AdamDeanMusic I really hated seeing Stevie die. It would have been nice if she and Michael had have still gotten married. Maybe they should have saved that for the actual final episode of KR. But then there probably wouldn’t have been KR 2000.

[@Longlostpuss]

Should have just ended it here as originally intended. Knight Rider 2000 was an absolutely shocking and woeful entry in the season. I tend to just pretend it never existed for the sake of keeping the integrity of the childhood memories for this show intact.

[@CitroenGS]

I always thought that Michael should marry Bonnie...

[@Longlostpuss]

I do hope they show the final scene of this episode with Michael on the beach remembering Stevie as he tries to decide what direction to take the rest of his life, before he looks over at KITT and the music starts and they drive away heading home. Most powerful scene in the series I think

[@resetsetmefree478]

KITT: Where are we going Michael? Michael: We're going home KITT, to family! We're going to the foundation! (drives off)

[@Anonymous-qg9xx]

Michael was shot at...strangled nearly to death, his wife murdered...he had revenge on his mind!

[@athlonen]

If the trend wasn't to have every episode resolve itself at the end of each episode, it would have. Think about it this way for a long running drama: In the season 2 episode "A Good Knight's Work", Cameron Zachary finds out that Michael is Michael Long, who he blames for the death of his girlfriend at the time, Tanya Walker. Armed with that knowledge, Zachary goes to Elizabeth Knight and Jennifer Knight (Wilton's ex-wife and daughter), finds out that the foundation has a fraud for its figurehead, and tries a hostile takeover of the foundation, dissolve Devon's, Bonnie's, and April's role in the foundation, as well as take control of KITT. In addition to that takeover, they also get access to the blueprints for KITT, enabling them to make other prototypes/models of it, similar to KARR. Just that plot line alone could have lasted them another 6 years after their initial run. They had the tools there; the common thing to do back then was to resolve every episode, which is what doomed it.

[@The2Coolest2]

​@@athlonenYep. Kind of like modern Doctor WHO was having this issue so it started making two and three parter episodes.

[@athlonen]

@@The2Coolest2 I was thinking like how the entire third season of Star Trek: Picard was one huge episode.. something like that, but spread out through the entire series while still having different cases Michael and KITT were on resolving after each episode. It would have left the entire length of the series entertaining.

[@phoenixblack1220]

This was a pins and needles episode from start to finish. At the time it aired, I thought it was the end of the season/series. Very dark and gritty!

[@iVTECInside]

It was meant to be the final episode. Bunch of boring reasons that is didn't work out that way.

[@Anonymous-qg9xx]

It IS the final episode!!! No one counts Voodoo Knight as the final ep!

[@phoenixblack1220]

@@Anonymous-qg9xx I remember the Knight Rider Historians talking about how, I think Hasselhoff wanted this to be the end, but they decided to air it somewhere toward the middle of the season. I think most purists would agree, this should have been the end. It had a very cinematic feel to it and richer content quality than previous episodes. When you start with the grittiness of the pilot, this episode only makes sense as the logical end of the series.

[@iVTECInside]

@@Anonymous-qg9xx opinion doesn't change the fact that the steaming pile that is Voodoo was the last to air :(

[@chriswood1210]

Karr was so narcissistic, he would have not let a woman come between him and Michael and do away with Michael's wife himself. And blame her death on Michael.

[@grumpygremlin2379]

Karr would have probably encouraged Michael.

[@johnkozlowski8782]

I agree with those points.

[@chrisbullard5901]

It would’ve been interesting if, as a follow up to “KITT vs KARR” and “Knight of the Juggernaut” that KARR was being rebuilt by the Foundation as part of the attempt to spread the workload in acknowledgement that Michael was getting older and putting all that responsibility on one man is a failure waiting to happen. Just because one man can make a difference, doesn’t mean only one man should solve all the world’s problems. It would’ve been a great move if a reprogrammed KARR and RC3 were revealed to Michael as the plan to expand the program. As a result of “Scent of Roses”, perhaps Michael, knowing KITT’s ethical programming, goes and turns KARR loose, so KITT and he still have an alibi. A Peter Fries voiced KARR with just enough software patches to protect Foundation personnel’s lives over criminal suspects turned loose to interrogate, torture, and deliver Durant at Devon’s and Michael’s feet, begging for mercy, would’ve been an interesting scene.

@@tyrese3745 It's literally the second highest rated episode of the series after KITT Versus KARR according to IMDb users. You clearly haven't got a clue what you're talking about. This episode nearly saved the show for a 5th season -- it did amazing Nielsen ratings during sweeps week. Unfortunately, NBC panicked when they saw how low the ratings dipped for the final few episodes like Voodoo Knight.

Michael went to the dark side of the force. In this moment he was blinded by rage and was not thinking clearly. Basically, he was no longer fit to be in control of KITT. Tearing up the town ruthlessly beating up the bad guys was not going to bring his murdered wife back. Killing Durant would have been crossing the line from which there would be no return. KITT should have taken control and delivered Michael to the foundation so that Devon could talk some sense into him.
