RWBY Gaming: Who would play what faction in Total Warhammer 3
So with my depressive funk now gone, and my most anticipated game of the last year now released, i decided to get back into writing with just a quick and fun little thing I've been thinking of the last few days: If Warhammer Total War 3 existed in Remnant, what would they play? This is literally just a self-indulgent little thing i wanted to do so here I am doing it.
Ruby: Ruby would play the prologue campaign first and get heavily invested in Yuri’s descent into evil. She’d probably play as Kislev to try and defeat the Daemon Prince. She would play Tzarina Katarin, both because Kislev are the good guys here (as far as she can tell) and she likes their weapons and artillery. She will absolutely drop Kislev like a hot potato once the Chaos Dwarves are released.
Weiss: Weiss would also play Katarin, but for different reasons. Namely, Weiss would be enamored by Katarin and would project a little due to the similarities between the two. Plus, the Elemental Bear reminds her of her own summons, which would make her project even more.
Yang: She knows that it would play into the stereotypes about her and her semblance, but Yang would probably play Skarbrand the Exiled One. His whole thing about fighting as hard and as much as possible, and using any and all damage to fight even more, is pretty much Yang in demon form. Plus, his blood thrones and skull cannons look cool as hell (something she will say out loud to many groans)
Blake: Is a little annoyed that there aren’t any Faunus around (refuses to acknowledge the existence of Beastmen) she then decides to play Kairos Fateweaver because of the magical aspect of it as well as enjoying the general aesthetic of Tzeentch in general. Yang jokes it’s because cat’s like birds, Blake refuses to respond.
Nora: Would play as Chaos Undivided, name the Daemon Prince ‘Renny,’ and then proceed to conquer the entire map alongside a bloodreaper hero she names Nora. Because they’re together, except not together-together, well they are but not li- (Repeat ad nauseum until they finally make out.)
Pyrrha: Absolute powergamer. Puts it at the hardest difficulty as a challenge and plays Miao Ying as a one unit doomstack. Regularly watches Okoii in order to find more doomstacks to play.
Ren: Once he got over the general ick factor, would play Ku’gath the Fettid Brewmaster. The slow measured pace would allow him to grow and dig in, and he’d be impossible to uproot.
Jaune: Complains that he can’t play as Gelt for the ten millionth time. In all honesty, Jaune would probably play as Zhao Ming or Miao Ying because he strikes me as an Empire player and they’re the closest he can get to Helstorm spam till the mega-map. Regularly watches Legend to find more cheesestrats. Jaune would be an absolute nightmare to play against in multiplayer. 
Ozpin: Would decide to play a few turns as each faction to see which one he likes... a decision that lasts right up until he reads the in-game lore of Tzar Boris. A dead warrior-king brought back to life by a distant god to save a world gone mad from falling into inescapable ruin? Ozpin would project so fucking hard.
Qrow: The nanosecond he starts up the game the motherboard catches on fire and melts the whole computer, causing a fire that spreads across the entire room and burns all his clean clothes. Qrow trips several times and breaks at least one bone trying to put out the flame.
Winter: Katarin as well, sorry Kostaltyn. Atlas is just future Kislev but in the sky and Winter would project onto Katarin just as, if not more than, Weiss. Plus, Winter would crush hard on Katarin. Though to be fair, who doesn’t?
Oscar: Pre-possession he’d probably be too poor to play. Post-possession Ozpin forcibly hijacks his body to play more Boris even though Oscar wanted to play as one of the cool dragon people.
Roman: As much as it pains him to admit, he has the most fun playing as Greasus Goldtooth and turning the Mountains of Mourne into a massive criminal empire that attacks every caravan that enters. He’s swimming in gold, metaphorically speaking at least. So long as no one compares him to an Ogre he’s fine. Neo absolutely compares him to an Ogre.
Neo: Neo wants only three things out of life. She wants lots of ice cream, lots of money, and lots of incredibly hyper-violent battles. Even though she wants to play as Skarbrand, she decides to play as Skrag the Slaughterer out of solidarity with roman... which is what she’ll sign him when he finds out she deleted all his saves to do so.
Emerald: Pre-redemption she’d play whatever faction she thinks Cinder likes the most. After she’s joined and befriended the remains of team JNPR she’d probably play Kairos Fateweaver because his use of illusion, trickery, and playing people against each other plays pretty well into her own personal fighting style. Plus she thinks Tzeentchian daemons look cool. She and Blake bond over this.
Cinder: Daemon Prince, hands down. The ability to play actual gods against each other, steal their followers, conquer the world, and declare your soul for yourself? That’s basically Cinder’s power fantasy.
Salem: Literally anyone but a chaos faction. She’s had enough of gods messing with her life in the real world, she doesn’t need it in a video game too, thank you very much. Though she is tempted by the fact that the Daemon Prince campaign ostensibly ends in killing a god...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLINT EASTWOOD! The Bossman & his Ramrod. PIC SPAM ALERT! 😄📷
Tumblr media
WARNING: Long ass post, but it’s full of lovely pictures!
The total legend that is Clint Eastwood turned 90 today... holy crap 90!!!! I grew up watching his movies & Rawhide thanks to my Nana, in fact, I would never have discovered Eric Fleming had she not been such a fangirl for Clint. 
Tumblr media
Yeah, I can see why Nana didn’t mind my constant nagging to watch my favourite Trail boss, she had her eye on a certain Ramrod...😜
Tumblr media
Rawhide is famously where Clint got his big break, and not just the luck of the draw, this dude is cunning. The ambitious Clint’s career was still young and meaty roles weren’t exactly coming his way. So hearing via a friend that they were casting at CBS, rather than leave it all to fate, he started hanging around trying to get a look in, ending up with an audition, and not exactly following the script but performing it in his own style. Luckily, while casting may not have been enthused someone higher up was and realised it would compliment the already cast, known to be intense lead actor Eric Fleming. I’m summarising a bit, but hey, they clearly nailed it because the evidence is on screen, these guys worked so well together, their chemistry undeniable from the start.
Tumblr media
John Hart - a many times guest star on Rawhide - was interviewed for a 2002 documentary ‘Clint Eastwood: Star Power’ about his time on the show. Here’s what he had to say about Clint Eastwood and Eric Fleming’s working relationship. “They were just starting it when I started working on Rawhide. And they [Eric & Clint] used to break each other up, and they kept laughing and the director would get so god damn mad, and finally it got all out of hand. I don’t know what they did to stop it, but they’d start laughing between the two of them.”
Tumblr media
Whenever Eric was asked who his friends were off-screen, Clint would get a mention, Eric describing them as ‘damn good friends’. There was one early incident where the pair almost came to blows, according to Fleming, "We were on location and I was filming a scene on a hot day. I had to carry Martha Hyer up a hill and then engage in some dialogue with Clint. "Well, Martha is a lovely girl, but she can get a bit heavy when you're carrying her up a hill. I had to do the scene five times because Clint blew his lines. When it happened again, I lost my cool: 'What the hell is going on here?' I demanded, and Clint answered me back in kind. I would have hit him right there if I hadn't been so bushed from carrying Martha. I said we'd settle it back at the hotel....That night Clint and I met to have it out. But we were both so struck by the ridiculousness of the situation that we had to laugh. We never had a bad word between us afterward."
Tumblr media
Indeed the pair had a lot in common, especially a love of fishing!
Tumblr media
Oh and pretty ladies. 
Tumblr media
And we all know about star egos, especially when it comes to who gets the ‘lead’ status and all the shoulder barging and competitiveness of the acting profession. Eric and Clint didn’t seem to see it that way, at least publicly. As Eastwood said: “When I hear about the rivalry, tension and animosity that are standard among actors, actresses and executives turning out some of the television series around Hollywood, I just draw a deep breathe and say, “Thank God for Eric Fleming.”
“In my opinion, this Fleming is about the greatest Joe around. He and I have been working together on Rawhide for seven seasons, and if the viewing public continues to enjoy the show, we might go on for seven more."
Tumblr media
Sadly of course, season 7 was the end of the Rawhide trail for Fleming. Out of contract, a reshuffle of management meant he was pushed aside, and while Clint went off to make the second of the Dollars movies in Europe, Eric slipped away to live his long held dream of Hawaii before taking the role that lead him to Peru. It’s doubtful these two men ever had a chance to reconnect. Clint was back working long days on Rawhide and then off to shoot ‘The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly’, returning home to the sad news of Eric’s death in late 1966. Maybe it’s idealistic but you’d like to think that if Eric had lived, he’d have been happy for his friend’s well earned success. And wherever the roads of their lives may have lead them, Eric’s to a family filled bliss on the beaches of Hawaii perhaps, and Clint’s undoubtably to the heady heights of mega stardom, they’d have remained friends. 
Tumblr media
So here’s to you Clint Eastwood, you always put the story at the heart of your movies and it’s why all these long decades later you’re still kicking ass and showing them how it’s done, even at the ripe old age of 90! 
Happy Birthday Clint! 🎂🥳
📷MORE DELICIOUS PIC SPAM! 📷

Season 2 Shenanigans
AHEYYY sO I went on a giant Knight Rider binge the last few days, and I've FINALLY seen all of Season 2!!  Big thank you to @trust-doesnt-oxidize who watched with me and stayed up absurdly late because I wanted to see Garthe before I went to bed AIDBWJFNEM
I just wanted to post a quick reaction to all of the episodes, spoiler warning activated!
Goliath Parts 1 & 2
I LOVE MY DOOFY VILLAIN SON. K.I.T.T. is HILARIOUS, I love his dynamic with Goliath, as is evident by my handle oops- I hate how Season 2 starts with my son almost dying tho, almost had a heart attack tyvm! This is back before I knew anything about the direction of the rest of the series so I was legitimately in shock lmbo- Moustache Michael is a gem tho I love him. I SURE HOPE HE STAYS A DUMB VILLAIN WHO'S JUST REALLY SILLY TO WATCH. SURE HOPE THEY DON'T TAKE HIM TOO SERIOUSLY.
Brother's Keeper - Blind Spot
I- forgot that these episodes existed until I looked at the episode list for this, soooo...
I should really not be lazy and look up an episode summary and try to remember what I thought of these but the problem is that I am in fact going to be lazy because this post is already taking so long
Return to Cadiz
This episode is so,,, frustrating.  Not the plot or the format or anything like that, nono... I mean how they essentially introduced April.  Like, okay, I know that she has been here since the beginning of Season 2, but she hadn’t really said much up until now.  This was where we really got to know who she would be, and, uh... After this episode, I absolutely hated her.  Despised even.  She forces my son to go drive on the same ocean on the same beach where Karr DIED without any testing beforehand AND is chastising Michael in a flirtatious way.  The heCK is this woman?!  WHERE’S MY BONNIE???!!!  I was so mad at her you guys I.  But the thing is, I don’t hate April, not by a long shot.  In some ways, the rest of Season 2 does a better job giving her a character than all of Season 1 did for Bonnie!  I really enjoyed April and wish that both could have stayed.  BUT THIS EPISODE makes her SO HATEABLE and I just ugh.
also I tried to watch this a long time before I got to and after seeing the intro and not knowing the title of K.I.T.T. vs. K.A.R.R. at that point in time, I thought Karr was gonna come back based on all the panoramic shots of the underwater and I am so sad that he didn’t so oops this episode gets my wrath a bit
K.I.T.T. the Cat
0/10 there are no cats.  False advertising.
Seriously tho this episode was a pretty run of the mill episode.  The best part of the episode was Kitt, because it always is, but seriously that guy with the hedges was amazing- I GOT THE GAG BY THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED BUT THE FIRST TIME HE GOT STUCK IN THE TREE OH MY GOSH I WAS DY I N G- Also the fact that Kitt messed him up again trying to apologize is so sad yet funny ahosihdfiohasdf
Custom K.I.T.T.
APRIL GET THAT STUPID DECAL OFF HIM OH MY G O S H-
Somehow her 2-d design ideas looked almost worse than the actual thing and I thought the actual thing looked like a that default sticker decal that you get on a Hotwheels car.  I’msorryI’mnottryingtoroastanyartistsIjust I why there’s so much potential with giving Kitt decals :(
Seriously I want to use my drawing software to draw fire on Kitt at some point because it could be done so cool and that ain’t it chief.  I’m probably not going to be too great at it either since I don’t do backgrounds nearly enough and fire would be a background element for the most part but I could at least alter the colors ; m ;  OR LIGHTNING OH MY GOSH AAA LIGHTNING WOULD BE SO COO L ON HIM-  anyway it needed so much more red- and it was so asymmetrical too aHHHH-
I.  I’m fine it’s fine I’m fine it’s fi-
I don’t even know why Kitt needed a decal anyway, the other cars didn’t have to have decals to be considered custom, surely his dash alone could have done it-
ANYWAY
This ep was so WEIRD at times oh my gosh.  What was that series of insults the two ladies spat at each other?  Like the one just complimented her eyeshadow aggressively and the other one accused her of wearing “training bras” or something like whAT EXCU S E ME What is this episode?!  Kitt was so upset about the decal too :[
Soul Survivor
OH MY GOSH IT’S CUTE IT’S SO CUTE YOU GUYS-
I was recalling @knight-rider-fan-2000‘s theory about this episode (plz go check them out btw aaaa), and after watching it I totally agree.  Michael was especially kind in this episode, and he seems to be overall a more supportive mentor for Kitt this season, starting with Soul Survivor and being pretty consistent throughout.  I love their new dynamic so much- There’s definitely still episodes and moments where he’s closer to Season 1 Michael, but Season 2 Michael is a far superior human being in my opinion.
KITT’S SO ADORABLE LIL TINY CPU OH MY G O S H YOU’RE TELLING ME OUR SON IS ACTUALLY T H A T SMALL AAAAA
Michael really is so sweet in this oh my gosh, that whole arc where Kitt is his partner no matter what and that the car isn’t what made Kitt-- AW!!!!  ADORABLE!  Kitt being so unsure that he repeatedly asks Michael how it feels to see the Knight 2000 without him in it or fusses about his limited functionality as Michael patiently reassures him again and again that he’s wanted just the way he is, I just- Feelings.
One thing that hit me as funny though is when Michael finds Kitt’s CPU in the garage and the trash can is just like PULSATING and then he like yells at it like “tAlK tO mE kItT” and Kitt’s jus sitting there as a box of colored lights like “...”
I can just imagine a cut scene where Kitt’s like, “Oh and by the way Michael, if I could have said something I would have done so LONG before you started asking me to.  Believe it or not, I don’t like being in a trash can.”
“You Dingaling.”
Also Michael and his whole “I’m an honest man you can trust me listen I’ll give you a small TV just like this one” and then he proceeded to not do that.  Hmm.
Anyway, yeah, it doesn’t get any cuter than this.  The only thing that would have been better is if Adrianne didn’t exist.  Good thing she’s gone now~!
Ring of Fire
THIS IS SO TRIPPY THIS EPISODE IS SO TRIPPY
I would say that I hate Michael trying to get Kitt to subject himself to testing if he can withstand insane levels of heat.  I would say that if April did not then walk in and karma the crap out of him.  Gosh I loved it.  How he immediately was like whAT NOOO YOU WOULDN’T MAKE SOMEONE DO THAT and Kitt’s just like :/
dang hypocrite, Michael my feelings towards you are so complicated sometimes
anyway
So. Many. Dogs.  I usually love seeing Kitt interact with dogs but this started to get unsettling, I can’t blame him for not loving 6 different dogs all swarming him at once whAT- Have they nothing better to do than to jump on my son.  What the heck language were those banjo players singing in?  Was it a language or was it just gibberish keyboard spam that accidentally made it to the final script AOSHDIAOHSD
This whole swamp setting is really unique to this episode, and part of me really does commend the chance they took by switching up settings.  It’s almost always a small town on desert roads.  The way this all happened though was??? What?
I think the scriptwriters forgot that Return to Cadiz exists because Kitt got so much water damage AHSIDHAOISDH- I know April said the system was damaged but surely it would have minimized this a little bit.  Also did literally anything change by the end of this episode?  We didn’t see the guy get arrested, did we?  And the girl decided to stay living out in the swamp forest thing.  The only thing is that she, like, conquered her fear or something?  Even though she still isn’t acting in that direction?
This episode didn’t actually d o anything did it LOL
alsowhatevenwasthatexplosion
It’s not a bad episode though, just really bizarre.
Knightmares
YOU KNOW WHAT I SAID ABOUT IT NOT GETTING ANY CUTER?
I WAS WRONG.
THIS EPISODE this episode THIS EPISODE.  TOP TWO MATERIAL?  MORE LIKELY THAN YOU THINK.  TDR will always be my fav until the end of time I’m pretty sure because I don’t think another episode will get me to ugly sob like that (aLTHOUGH I AM MEGA HYPE HERE BECAUSE I WATCHED KvK AND IT WAS GOOD ALSO BUT WE’LL GET TO TH A T LATER) but in terms of sheer adorable buddies happiness this is the winner by all accounts.  I really like how they portray Michael Long, and I genuinely think the arc here has an impact on the rest of the season in terms of how Michael treats Kitt.
I love how Michael had told Kitt a long time ago how they were partners, like how he used to have a partner when he was a police officer, and how now when Long is so confused about everything everyone is trying to tell him, Kitt chooses this specific word to help introduce himself, and everything feels a bit more grounded for Long.  I love how Long immediately revolts against the way Devon and April try to tell him he’s wrong about who he is currently, which is, despite good intentions, the opposite of what he needs.  I love how Kitt then swoops in behind him and decides to treat Michael Long like a WHOLE NEW PERSON, one who Kitt tries to get to know.  I love how Long recognizes just how hard Kitt is trying and genuinely opens up to him.  I love how he never reverts to being mean or rude to Kitt after he gets in the car the second time, NOT EVEN ONE sarcastic comment.  How he never calls him a computer again after Kitt asks him not to, how he compliments his new partner left and right, how despite having no clue who Knight is he really wants to be that person for Kitt, because Kitt seems sincere and pretty great.  I adore that bit where Kitt gently, lovingly lists traits good and bad about Knight and how Long can finally connect to this other version of himself.
“One more thing about Michael Knight.”
“What’s that?”
“I was extremely fond of him”
I love how Long starts saying “Good work, Kitt” after they complete parts of their mission and how Knight does not stop this for the rest of the season, even after he regains his memory.  I love so much about this and could frankly talk about it even more than this but this is a brief summary so.  So yeah, we’re moving on ;W;
Silent Knight
It’s funny so.  I didn’t realize that Knight Rider had done any Christmas specials.  I knew about the Halloween specials, but I didn’t realize the Christmas special existed.  And so I was laughing at how funnee I was while I was like “SILENT KNIGHT HOLY KNIGHT ALL IS COME-” and then that’s exactly what the pun was meant to be.  they done bamboozled me.
ANYWAY THIS MIGHT BE THE STRANGEST CHRISTMAS SPECIAL TO EVER EXIST EVER.
They kept mentioning the Christmas banquet thing to make it mildly related to the season but then it wasn’t, it really wasn’t, it all revolved around clowns.  There was.  There was a Santa I guess.  Albeit a bank robber Santa--
And the kid is juuust obnoxious at first, I love how Kitt absolutely hates him immediately for some reason even though Kitt usually doesn’t hate people unless they do something really bad, but it feels so deserved because the kid is a jeeerk.  Maybe it’s because the kid accused him of endangering human life and that Hurt?
Kid: Just let me drive and I’ll throw away this dumb clock thing
Michael: No
Kitt: YES
Michael: W H A T ?!
Kitt: YES
Michael: ugh whatever
I was kind of expecting Kitt to pull some sort of shenanigans while the kid was driving as payback for whatever he absolutely despised him for, but Kitt was actually just really sweet and gave him a bit of freedom until he started endangering himself and then helped him get back into control.  Very wholesome.
AND the end was CUTE though, like the boy who had previously been a jerk going over and patting Kitt and being just sincerely nice to him ;w; wholesome
A Knight in Shining Armor
Gosh I always forget what this episode is about because the title is so loosely related LOL
The dynamic with Michael and the girl of the week was actually really cute and chemistry was not entirely nonexistant, so that’s a nice change from some of these that come out of nowhere.  Her arc was actually pretty sweet, how she resented technology because she wanted to be loved and cared about, how she thought computers were incapable of doing that until she talked to Kitt...
And the cave was prebby.
But why couldn’t she understand that her DAD was in PRISON.
“Why didn’t he ever come to see me?” “Because he was in Jail.” “oh.  But why didn’t he call???”
Diamonds Aren't a Girl's Best Friend
SOMEONE
AHAHA
SOMEONE CALLED MICHAEL
AHAHA
BERNIE CALLED HIM A DINGALING. Speaking of Bernie, all I could think this whole episode was
Tumblr media
White-Line Warriors
LONG-LEGGED PUNK-
Seriously idk what this season’s love affair with the baddies picking on Michael but I love it.
Honestly the twist of this episode was really interesting, I still don’t fully get how the baddies’ plan comes together though.  So the song plays on the radio and the police go to investigate the drag racers and the crims are IMMEDIATELY ready?  okay then.
Radio announcer Kitt tho.  That is blessed.
I want Radio Announcer Kitt.  Then again, I just want more Kitt in general so.
Race for Life
INHALE
Y’ALL ARE REAAALLY TRYING TO MAKE ME DETHRONE KNIGHTMARES AS THE CUTEST, AREN’T YOU?
Well ha, joke’s on you episode, you’re getting docked points for only giving Kitt and Becky two interactions.  And for making the donor obnoxious for most of the episode (although that end scene was pretty adorable).  So, okay, second cutest.
THE WAY KITT WAVED I-
HE IS SO CUTE
he is so cute.
Devon was really sweet this episode, not gonna lie.  I’m not sure if I’ve said it on this blog before, but I had strong dislike for Devon after Season 1.  I can explain that later if anyone wants, I’d be perfectly willing to compare the two seasons, but Season 2 Devon is pretty alright.  He doesn’t have much of a presence, but when he does, he’s kind.  I’m assuming he let Becky win at checkers, in which case uh, aW?!  Devon that’s cute.
KITT TRYING TO TEACH THE TEN YEAR OLD CHESS AHSIODHOAISD I LOVE YOU BUDDY
Also, I feel like this is the episode April really became her own character, separate from Cadiz.  She’d kind of just been a slightly perkier Bonnie, but now we get to see her family, her concerns... And April’s a pretty good character.
OH AND THE WHOLE “Kitt is family” ARC IS THE SWEETEST THING ASHDHAOSDohIAD
“Julio, meet Kitt.  He’s part of the family”
“Thank you, Michael.”
MY.  HEART.
Speed Demons
Okay so.  This is another one of those episodes where very little seemed to change by the end of the episode.  The guy who was actually in danger quit motorcycling anyway soooo...  The episode plot itself isn’t what I feel like talking about.
What was WITH that one announcer guy?  Were we meant to like him or not???  First he tries to Kick the Kitt and Kitt’s like :/ whatever
and then he comes back and they start to have like, a deep conversation, and he lovingly pats the hood before walking away.  And we’re like AWWW OKAY THIS GUY IS NOT TO BAD
AND THEN he asks Kitt to talk for someone and Kitt’s like “...” and the guy riots.  Why did Kitt not talk for him and why did the guy go so absolutely bonkers when he didn’t?  Were the cameras rolling and I just didn’t realize?  And then we kind of hate the guy again because he once again absolutely went ballistic at Kitt.  “That’s Showbiz.”
But then the dynamic with that coworker keeps coming up, and yeah, I guess she does seem a bit annoying.  But she also seems like a potential lady of the week and a potential protagonist.  So when she gets splashed with mud or whatever that was and the guys all like :D
What are we meant to be feeling?
Are we meant to feel bad for her or happy for him?
Because I just felt confused.
Goliath Returns 1 & 2
GOSH DARNIT ADRIANNE IS BACK
ALSO I-I-I I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING I SAID ABOUT YOU BEING A DOOFY AND STUPID VILLAIN JUST P L E A S E STOP ; M ;
SERIOUSLY WHEN DID GARTHE TURN FULL PSYCHOPATH-
THE FEELING I GOT REMINDED ME OF WATCHING THE SHERLOCK FINALE.  S H E R L O C K  F I N A L E.
Sigh, I should have known he’d gone off the deep end when he walked into a hot tub with jeans on.
I will forever be mad at some versions coughincludingtheoneIwaswatchingoncough for cutting out the fact that Kitt’s microchip was almost ENTIRELY WIPED/OVERWRITTEN AND PUT INTO GOLIATH.  Because uh, the way the show cut it up for TV, it seems like Kitt’s really in no danger other than being annoyed.  But no, literally everyone almost dies.  Fun times!
Seriously why did this convoluted garbage get a two-parter but Kitt vs. Karr didn’t?
This episode makes me sad.  Not just because Garthe tried, and almost succeeded, to take away everything we love in this show.  Not just because this episode strayed far enough from the typical formula for this to seem like some dystopian nightmare version of Knight Rider. Not just because freaking Adrianne is back.
I mean because I loved Garthe’s character, and this totally changed it.  I like that they went into Garthe’s trauma a bit more with this one, but unlike some villains in the Knight Rider canon (okay let’s not play games, UNLIKE KARR-), what he does is so dastardly, SO insaNE, that there is no way to argue that he might be justified.  No.  No.  Garthe, Adrianne, and Goliath are gone now, and that’s how it had to be.
OH ALSO GO O F F APRIL YES QUEEN I LOVE YOU- I honestly felt so bad for her when she turned around and broke down right after standing up to him, like dang, that hurts.  And Devon was sweet in this episode too ;w;
Okay but were they planning on making another episode of this?  Because that end scene was such an obvious teaser it’s not even funny.
“I hope we don’t run into those very much drowned people out in the streets again, Michael.  And I especially hope that they do not construct another semitrailer with the exact same scale and name as the previous one that was driven into the ocean.”
“Yes, I agree Kitt, this is also an anxiety that I possess despite the fact that they are very much definitely Deceased.  I sure hope that plot convenience does not interfere in the future.”
THANK GOODNESS THAT ADRIANNE IS GONE
wait what?  her actress is in another episode as another character who’s just as awful? wHYYYYYY
A Good Knight's Work
THAT BEAR NEEDS TO DIE. I am so glad Michael ejected the dumb thing at the end, Kitt deserved it. Especially after Michael essentially told him to temporarily kill himself. Michael's a cyberbully now ig. The arc with Kitt and the car salesman was cute. Apparently deactivation is considered programming now? Michael my mans you could have given Kitt any warning at all (I kind of take this back after one of the Season 3 episodes I’ve watched uHHHH this was a lot of warning compared to how Michael rolls in S3 what the heck is wrong with him). Cute episode overall tho I guess. ALSO I JUST NOW REALIZED "A GOOD KNIGHT'S WORK" IS A PUN BECAUSE KITT IS WILTON KNIGHT'S WORK AND I'M MAD AT MYSELF FOR NOT NOTICING IT SOONER-
Mouth of the Snake and that other garbage one that's title makes no sense
David might as well be a plank of wood. A plank of wood that yeets himself ten feet into the air whenever possible, but I digress. Does this count as superpowers? I just love how he offended Kitt 0.1 seconds after meeting him and then Michael proceeded to tell Kitt off for reacting. Love that soooo much. It's also hilarious to me how most of this episode has a similar structure to most Knight Rider episodes and then they randomly start reacreating the Most Dangerous Game--
Let it Be Me
Why isn't this the season finale?! I mean, I'm glad it's not, but why? This is way worse than White Bird like why- I feel like the Stevie episodes are kind of a controversy in this fandom? I loved the first one. This one's just, blegh it's okay. She and Michael still have pretty great chemistry WHEN THEY ARE SPEAKING IN REGULAR SPEECH. I do not like Stevie singing the same song with Michael 100 times. The duet at the end is kind of cute though, sue me I like corny things.
Stevie: I’m so sorry I shouldn’t have been with this one guy but ;m;
Michael: has been with approximately 100 women by now
Also Michael: How could you ;m;
Big Iron
This episode is kinda wild. Why does the guy manage to have a full out breakup with Lucy in less than one minute? Why is Michael a marriage counselor now? Why couldn't Kitt take the oxygen out of the cabin when Michael was definitely going to die if he didn't?  Since when does Turbo Boost use a ton of oxygen anyway?  Why does this man just immediately make up with his wife after finding out that she helped him? And most of all, WHY DIDN'T THAT BARTENDER LADY ACT THE LEAST BIT CONCERNED WHEN THEY ABSOLUTELY TORE UP THE PLACE??? Lmbo she's just like "Stop it guys :/"
It’s so bizarre that this is the season finale ahsdoifhasodf but go off I guess NBC
