So here's a difference that I noticed between season 1 and 2. And maybe I'm making this up because I haven't watched the episodes in almost a year. But anyway, in season 1 it definitely seems like KITT is very jealous and disapproving of Michael's lady friends. But I'm pretty sure I remember several scenes from season 2 episodes where KITT is actually helping Michael score (like reminding him about dates and not to be late for them and giving him fashion advice and stuff like that - sorry I can't give references or exact examples), and KITT doesn't seem bothered by it at all. I know you haven't really gotten into season 2 yet, but I'll be interested to see if you notice it and if so what you think of it. KITT and Michael do seem a lot closer in season 2, so maybe they've come to some accommodation about Michael's sex life. And if they have (like Michael can play around as long as he comes back to KITT in the end) is KITT really happy about it or does he just feel like he can't reasonably expect more and should be happy with what he has. Hope that made sense! Thanks for the recap - they make me happy even if I can't think of anything worthwhile to say about them!
KITT certainly seems to be *quite* jealous of Michael's ladies and disapproves of the variety of them.
I'll be watching to see if it's different in season 2 when I get there, because it's a fascinating idea. I'm not sure I'll much like KITT helping Michael score, unless I feel like they have to come to some sort of understanding or accommodation. (I do love the idea that Michael comes back home to KITT in the end, no matter what. :D)
It's also interesting to ponder if KITT's really happy with that or just taking what he can get.
I'll keep my eyes open for it. :D
I'm so glad you're enjoying the recaps. :D I have *so* much fun doing them.
Yeah see what you think. Because I sometimes wonder if KITT isn't sort of thinking 'if you can't beat em, join em." Like how I sometimes wonder if women who do a lot of threesomes with their guys and other women really want to have a threesome with their guy and another woman, or are they just doing it because they hope it will help them keep their guy and get him to like her even more because she's all cooperative and into chics too. Like now they're conspirators together in getting him laid instead of he's just cheating on her and doing stuff she doesn't like. Does that make any sense at all?
It does make sense, though...well, I can't imagine being so hooked on a guy that I would do something (especially something *sexual*) that made me uncomfortable or unhappy just to keep him. Which might be why I have two failed marriages. Seriously, that's just totally outside my ken. Not that I'm not aware that it happens. It just...I don't know, makes me sad that the women won't just let the man who's obviously Not Right For Them (if he wants that and they don't) go.
And I'm not sure I can see KITT doing that...I need to think about though. And I'll keep my eye open during season 2 and see what I think. :D
I don't know what's wrong with me, but I like to make up these AU versions of KITT or Michael or both where they have these really screwed up relationships. Why can't I just imagine them happy and in love? I always imagine them playing all these mind games with each other.
But my other favorite is stories are the ones where they first start to realize how in love with each other they both are, so I'm really looking forward to your TDR story.

Oh I wouldn't say it's anything *wrong* with you. Just you have different buttons with fic than I do. As a friend of mine just said in a comment elsewhere on LJ: "YMMV is the foundation of fandom."
The TDR story is going to be my first thing in the morning activity tomorrow, I believe. :D
