Review: The Bionic Woman

So after two weeks and two episodes, Bionic Woman is holding somewhat steady. There’s been a slight dip in the ratings and I’ve also read some pretty harsh comments online. Most of those comments seem directed at Michelle Ryan being dull or the character being dull, but they all agree she’s definately a hottie, after all…did you see her doing the one-arm pullups in episode two? Yowza!

I don’t find her dull myself. The problem is we all know where she’s going and instead of enjoying the ride, people are wanting to be there now. Just a tip, we all knew where Battlestar Galactica was going too, yet it still was some of the best television on. We also knew where Smallville was going, but after seven seasons, we’re still tuning in to see pre-Superman.

People are questioning the story, but it’s a far cry better then seeing the Six-Million Dollar Man fight Sasquatch. Remember that one? I actually liked the second episode a lot. It gave us some clues that her sweet scientist boyfriend was possibly more sinister then he seemed since he had a dossier on her that went back years before they met. It was also good to see Jamie Sommers have a beginning where she seems more lucky then talented as she stumbles through the use of her bionics while trying to save the day.

I liked the first appearance as Isaiah Washington as Antonio Pope. He’s introduced as Jamie’s “Supervisor” and even though nothing was really said, everything he did hinted that he’s a bad-ass. I think he was a fantastic addition.
And is Sara Corvis a villian or a really misguided bionic friend? Either way, Katee Sackhoff really grabs your attention when she’s on screen just like she did as Starbuck in BSG. Sara comes across as mysterious, dangerous, and sexy all at the same time. A very lethal combination indeed.

In the end, I’m keeping it on my weekly list to watch. Sure I have to suspend my belief in reality sometimes, but that’s the point isn’t it?
