MKSP: 112 A Plush Ride
Michael Knight Sex Project: 112 A Plush Ride
After working my way through two rather dudly episodes, I'm now at the start of a whole string of really fun and delightful ones. This one has jealousy on KITT's part, a lot of cool driving and explosions, Michael in danger (well *I* like that), and one of the best KITT lines in the first season...
There is a GotW, but I don't remember Michael having much of an interest in her. My memory's been bad before, of course.
--Hmmm, this is actually an interesting opening. Devon's sitting in his office watching the news, which is showing terrorist attacks that will threaten the success of a summit meeting that the Foundation, and Devon in specific, organized with the leaders of three countries harboring terrorist groups to try and get them to curtail terrorist activities. That's pretty damn current sounding current events for something that was filmed 25 years ago.
--Devon talks to someone on the phone about approaching the "mission" with a renewed sense of urgency. I think that means he's going to throw Michael at it. :D
--Devon, for all that he seems like a rather pompous stuffed-shirt, is quite the force to be reckoned with. He organized this summit himself, apparently.
--Heee!! Bonnie pulls something she doesn't like out of KITT"s engine compartment.
--Bonnie: "Michael, what is this?" Michael: "Seaweed." Bonnie: "What is seaweed doing under KITT's hood?" Michael: "Oh, yeah. Well. I can explain that." KITT: "Perhaps you shouldn't, Michael." Heee!! KITT's awesome. :D
--Given how much I enjoyed the second season episode "Return To Cadiz" the other day, I think I'm going to ignore the fact that Michael apparently drove KITT into the ocean with no ill effects except some seaweed.
--I am somewhat enjoying the fact, though, that those ignored activities appear to have gotten Michael *wet* and he's there toweling himself off.
--Devon comes in and needs Michael to drive him somewhere right away. *Naturally*, Michael's immediate response is "Okay, KITT will be ready in a second". Devon throws a spanner in the works by saying that they won't be taking KITT. Michael's rather taken aback by that but goes along.
--Leaving KITT with Bonnie. ::pets KITT:: KITT: "Why do you suppose they excluded me, Bonnie?" Bonnie: "I don't know, KITT. But don't take it personally." KITT: "I won't. You know I can't take anything personally." Ah, KITT, honey. I think it's kind of cute how valiantly (one might almost say desperately) he clings to the idea that he doesn't have emotions, even when he clearly does.
--The more I look at KITT's dashboard the more I *want* one of the owner's manuals that occasionally shows up on eBay. If only they went for less than $45...::sighs::
--So Devon's riding in the back seat of some big behemoth of a car and Michael's chauffeuring him. And grumbling about it. Not unreasonably. But Devon insists that Michael's presence is absolutely *necessary*.
--They wind out being chased and harassed by a sleek little sports car. Devon: "Lose it, any way you can." Michael: "Okay, Devon, but this sure isn't KITT." Eee!
--Michael: "We're like a tank against a fighter plane here. What am I supposed to do?" Devon: "Be skillful, Michael. Be skillful." Heee! :D
--I don't think that big ol' bulky car was made to do a bootlegger turn like that. :D
--And it turns out the driver of the red car is a good guy, Redmond. They were testing Michael's driving ability.
--Ah, ha! The plot appears! Devon suspects that one of the members of the security team for the summit meeting is a plant. All of the members of the security team are attending a special session of Redmond's academy for elite body-guards and drivers. Michael will become part of that special class and try to suss out who the plant is before the leaders arrive for the summit.
--Mmmm!!
--Michael's summing up of the plot: "So with no leads, I've got less than one week to catch a bad guy who may not even exist. It doesn't sound to me to be too simple."
--I'm such a fool for these shots where Michael's looking down and there are his eyelashes and just YUM!
--Michael: "Devon, let's say there is a bad guy and he overreacts and decides to waste me." Devon [in a somber voice]: "Oh, that would be a most serious and unfortunate resolution, Michael. [cheers up] But you're quite right, it would solve our problem." Heee!! Devon rocks the awesome too. I think I don't say that nearly often enough. :D
--And Michael looks so adorably hangdog about it.
--Oh, they don't show this little powering up sequence as KITT's lights go on in sequence nearly often enough. Power, Min RPM, Fuel On, Ignitors. Whee!! And then the awesome music starts and Sara is a happy girl! :D
--So basically their plan is to make the suspect blow their cover. KITT says it's a clever plan and must, therefore, have been Mr. Miles' idea. :D
--I wish it were easier to get good screencaps of KITT. I really do. I'd need to be able to do clips to really do him justice because he looks best when he's moving, and that doesn't screencap well.
--And here's the GotW, Margo.
--Oooo!!! ::fans self::
--In addition to Michael and Margo, there are four guys on the security team. When we first see them, two are doing that homoerotic bonding thing that guys do, no sorry we call that "fighting". They'll fight each other to a standstill and then be best friends forever after, you'll see. That's the way it always happens.
--Yep. And Michael mentions that tension and "excess energy" building up and one of them offers to "work it off" for him. No, really!! I'm not making this shit up!
--Michael being Michael, he sticks with Margo as the group breaks up. She asks him to help carry in her suitcase, which he does, with a brief stop at KITT's scanner so KITT can check out what's inside the bag. The relevant portion of which is a handgun with three clips.
--Redmond demonstrates the strength of the reinforced and bulletproof cars the security team will be driving by firing live ammo at them. They may be bulletproof, but KITT's prettier and sleeker and faster.
--Aw he's cute when he's sleeping. :D
--Someone set a smoke grenade in Michael's room. Apparently Redmond, and he put them in all the rooms of the people on the security team. Michael's the only guy with a single, by the way, the others are doubling up. :D The two who were *bonding* ::koff:: get their own room which probably cuts down on nocturnal traffic.
--Much as I love Michael's long long lean legs, just in his boxers is not a good look for him. Sigh.
--"Michael. Where are your pants?" Eeeee!! ::flails:: Heee!! Best line!!
--Michael goes to woof at KITT for not letting him know about Redmond going into his room despite Michael having left him in surveillance mode. KITT: "You yourself said that Mr. Redmond could be trusted." Michael: "Oh, is that an example of your logic?" KITT: "No, it's an example of yours." Heeee!!
--Michael's assessment of the security team, and Redmond, is that they all have different strengths (Margo is the brains of the team) and together they'd make a perfect combat unit. One he'd be pleased to go into battle with. One of the guys, Jacobs (not one of the two in the fight), he describes as a "killing machine".
--Bonnie makes an awfully damned cute cowgirl at the Buckaroo Club. :D "Trail boss sent me to round you up." Hee!
--On the other hand, Devon in a cowboy hat is pretty silly. :D
--Mmmm!! :D
--And Mmmm! again! These are my notes and I can indulge myself if I want to.
--[On returning to the academy] KITT: "Well, Michael, I guess we can call it a day." Michael: "Not yet, KITT. I want to search Margo's room." KITT (in a rather disapproving tone): "I've heard that one before." Michael: "It will give you something to brood about during the night." Oh, Michael, calling attention KITT's jealousy but still feeding it? Not on, dude, not on! (On the other hand, KITT's jealousy does rather delight me, yes yes it does.)
--Mmmm!!
--Michael just stuck *something* in the back waistband of his jeans but I'm not sure what. It doesn't look like a *gun* though.
--Do guys actually do that? Tote things around tucked into the waistband of their britches?
--Ah, it was a lock-picking kit. I didn't realize Michael had one of those.
--Just...damn! ::fans self::
--So Margo attacks Michael, as would any woman trained in combat who found a strange man creeping around her room in the middle of the night.
--Michael subdues her by getting her in some sort of arm-lock. Margo: "What are you doing in my room?" Michael: "Would you buy lust?" Margo: "I wouldn't buy anything at this point."
--You shouldn't sleep in makeup like that, sweets. It'll make you break out.
--On the other hand, she did just figure out that Michael's there to spy on them.
--The next morning, with 10 hours before the leaders arrive for the summit, they're doing an exercise where they're basically playing paint-ball. Michael's the VIP one of the guys is protecting him, and the rest are "the hit team" after him.
--Jacobs goes for live ammo rounds rather than the wax dummy rounds. Hmmm....
--Yay!! Michael calls for KITT to monitor the situation and keep him posted on where everyone is. So KITT drives himself over. Eee! Cutting across country and just *yay*!
--Redmond and Margo get there with live rounds just in time for Margo to stop Jacobs from killing Michael by shooting him. But not before Jacobs confessed to being the assassin.
--Devon: "Are you hurt? Tell me the truth, Michael." Oh, Devon, you need to stop making me want to slash you with Michael. It will only end in heartbreak for you, dude, because Michael belongs to KITT. You basically don't have a chance.
--There is smooching as he thanks Margo for saving his life.
--I suspect you'll get tired of me noticing this and being happy about it before I get tired of going Eeeee!! Michael's reading a magazine or something and letting KITT drive! :D ::bounces::
--I realize that Benton (my little car) will never look as cool as KITT doing one of those bootlegger turns, but it would still be fun to learn how to make one.
--So Michael's figured out that *something* is up, though I can't tell if he knows exactly *what* yet. He's definitely suspicious at how flawlessly their gameplan worked. So they're going back to the academy.
--WHere they promptly run into Jacobs, the guy Margo supposedly "killed" saving Michael. Hmmm...apparently they're *all* assassins planted on the security team, including Margo. At least all of them but Redmond.
--Apparently Margo gets her jumpsuits from the same place that supplies Bonnie. :D
--Margo, who showed almost no interest in him before, can hardly keep her hands off him while he's tied up. Which, okay, could be yummy I suppose though it's not my kink. But it's creepy because he's *not* interested at all, and yet she's still touching him. And she's an *assassin*. "Behind your pretty smile and your pretty face, there's nothing but a grinnin' skull." Margo didn't like that of course.
--Michael's got the comlink open so KITT can hear him, but KITT's voice isn't broadcasting into the room. Which is good. Particularly because KITT keeps talking to him, even having realized this.
--Michael, you're savvy like a *fox*, you are! See, they're planning on shooting him because he got in the way, which would, of course suck. So he manages to convince Margo that they need to stage a car accident for him, in KITT of course. At the same time, he conveys to KITT that he should cooperate with them. Well played!
--Well except that Margo has some chloroform handy and knocks him out. That throws a bit of a spanner in the works, I think. And how is it that KITT scanned the precise number of sets of undergarments she had in her suitcase, but missed the bottle of chloroform?
--So they put unconscious Michael in KITT and set KITT to rolling off the road and down a very steep embankment toward a cliff.
--KITT: "Michael, you can be very proud of me. I did exactly what you wanted. I let them drive me up here and put you inside. And Michael, you can stop pretending now." Oh, the thoughts this makes me think--because obviously KITT didn't like letting them drive him, but he did it for Michael. ::swoons::
--And, erm, yumm!
--Of course Michael *isn't* pretending that he's been drugged. And KITT should know that because he can scan Michael's vital signs.
--Eeee!! We get the wonderful continuity again! KITT uses the oxygen vent he was given way back in "Slammin' Sammy's..." :D And once again it wakes Michael up when he's been drugged. Sweet!
--So Michael wakes up to be confronted by a bit of a situation. "Michael we have a problem. Seven-eights of a kilometer ahead of us is a steep drop." Michael: "A drop?" KITT: "Actually, a cliff."
--Apparently KITT's pretty confident he would survive the drop, but Michael would not. Fortunately, while KITT's lecturing him about gravity and Newton's laws of motion, Michael tells KITT to rotate his turbo booster (apparently that can be done on the fly, who knew?) and then uses the turbo boost to stop them. Yay!! (Physics, we don't need no stinkin' physics!)
--Ah, that's an extremely sweet and sexy turn from KITT, even if he has gotten a wee bit dusty driving down toward the cliff and then back up.
--So the assassin team, five super sturdy and reinforced cars strong, is heading toward the airport to get the leaders arriving for the summit.
--Heee!! KITT's monitor screen would be more helpful if it showed things to scale. In reality they can't actually *see* the assassin team (the pink cars) yet, despite the fact that KITT's graphic shows them almost on top of them.
--Thus ensues much of KITT driving around and trying to take on the five heavily armored cars. It's fun, but there's not much to say about it. There is zooming and turbo boosting and fun stuff. :D
--For just a temporary place for the leaders to hang out while waiting for their rides this is a pretty funky space. WTF is up with the Rococco chandeliers in the *tent* though?
--Margo's zooming on the tent--apparently her method for schmeissing the leaders will be to drive through the tent--and Devon has guards shooting at her. That's not gonna work, she's in one of the armored cars.
--But Michael drives her off the road and into a parked truck. Don't ask why there's a parked truck of no noticeable purpose in this specially secured area. It does make a quite pretty explosion though.
--They did something unfortunate with his hair, but it's been *way* too long since my last cap of Michael. :D
--So Michael has the leaders there for the summit out to get lit and eat chili at the Buckaroo Club and is teaching them how to sing Home On The Range. :D Which, Michael, I adore you but don't quit your day job, yeah?
--Devon is all filled with offended dignity because they're all here for a serious and solemn purpose. And even more offended because Redmond called him "Devvy". :D
--But it all ends on a very happy note. Honestly, I think the evening spent getting sloshed and getting to know each other will do more for the process of the summit than any amount of somber and solemn discussion.
--Oooo! Lucky pause! :D
Final Verdict: Hmmm, I'd *really* like to be able to say "Hell no, Michael didn't get down with Margo because she was *evil*." But honestly...I don't know. There wasn't any sign of interest between them during what we see of him in her room. Not the slightest hint of anything at all. And Margo needed to have time to set up trying to kill Michael (and give him the red herring about Jacobs being the assassin) with her buddies. But the next day, after she "saved" his life, there's some smooching (though that could be mostly gratitude) and hot looks on her part and her bizarro world fondling. It's certainly plausible that they had sex after he stopped having her in the painful arm-lock and after she figured out he was spying on them. But, I would have trouble believing it in a story unless the author went to a bit of trouble to persuade me. I'd believe more easily that Margo's got a hell of a kink for having someone tied up in front of her and only finds guys attractive when she thinks she's bested them.
All screencaps are my own. Please feel free to use them however you like. Unless you like to use screencaps by hotlinking. That's not nice, so please don't do that.

Final Verdict: Hmmm, I'd *really* like to be able to say "Hell no, Michael didn't get down with Margo because she was *evil*." But honestly...I don't know. There wasn't any sign of interest between them during what we see of him in her room. Not the slightest hint of anything at all. And Margo needed to have time to set up trying to kill Michael (and give him the red herring about Jacobs being the assassin) with her buddies. But the next day, after she "saved" his life, there's some smooching (though that could be mostly gratitude) and hot looks on her part and her bizarro world fondling. It's certainly plausible that they had sex after he stopped having her in the painful arm-lock and after she figured out he was spying on them. But, I would have trouble believing it in a story unless the author went to a bit of trouble to persuade me. I'd believe more easily that Margo's got a hell of a kink for having someone tied up in front of her and only finds guys attractive when she thinks she's bested them.
