Knightwatchers

KnightWatchers: The Call - The First EpisodeEveryone loves the stories about characters like "The Frog Prince," because everyone feels their true merit isn't recognized. Kids love stories about characters like Jim Hawkins of "Treasure Island," because they all want to escape and have a little adventure. This happens to be one of those tales."KnightWatchers: The Call" starts the series off with plucky fourteen year old Alayna who is searching the galaxy for a stolen crystal that has the power either to create a solar system or destroy it. Her search brings her to a flying pirate vessel where she meets Alabam, a scrappy teenage space-pirate with a funny name who has a big appetite for food as well as a fight. Together, the two attempt to retrieve the crystal from the clutches of the villainous (and not to mention, 'pompous') Captain Scorpion. Their adventure then takes them to Tecmonian Institute, a training school for the next generation of Astro-Militia. Here, Alabam finds himself in a league of young guardians where he meets Ace-2 Maverick (a young and cocky space pilot) and Flash - a teenage alien boy who has all the powers of a neutron star. Along his journey, Alabam must not only seek peace with his past, but must also learn that there is strength in vulnerability.Narrated in a tongue-in-cheek style with sardonic commentary, KnightWatchers is a new take on the conventional science-fiction series that pays homage to the old Saturday Matinee Serials like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers - with quirky characters that audiences, young and old, will enjoy.
