The Bionic Woman: Pilot Review

The Bionic Woman: Pilot Review
For those tuning in to the new The Bionic Woman dvd series looking for some relief from Katee Sackoff withdrawal until the new season of Battlestar Galactica starts up, you will be happy to learn her first appearance happens within about a minute and a half. The show opens on a group of armed men running down shadowy (probably underground � buildings like this are always underground) hallways littered with lab-coat clad bodies. Looks like someone threw a bit of a temper tantrum, and it was guess who! The armed men come upon crazy Katee crouched over a body, blood dripping off her face and hands. This is certainly an ominous beginning, especially when crazy Katee displays some more than human abilities after asking the leader of the armed men, “Do you love me?” Is this just a random crazy question, or does this mean something that will come back to bite characters in the ass later? Cue the mental ‘Dun Dun Duuuuuuun’ and open the pilot episode for the new The Bionic Woman dvd box set.
We join Jamie Summers’ life already in progress three years after the happenings at the super secret underground death lab. She is working as a bartender to support her younger deaf sister (a plot point that was changed according to recent NBC news; now her sister is played by a newer, hotter actress and the deafness has been discarded) while dating Will, a professor of The Bionic Woman dvds. Oh, and it also turns out she is pregnant with Professor Boyfriend’s love child. Just after revealing this last fact to him and having him state that this is wonderfully wonderful news, they get into a horrendous car accident and Jamie’s chances of survival look slim. Suddenly the fact that Professor Boyfriend is really part of a secret government organization that rebuilds people from spare robot parts will come in handy as he puts her back together with nifty new bits and pieces. Jamie freaks out more than a little when she regains consciousness, though you can tell this was not exactly the response ol’ Willy was hoping for.

The hush-hush organization Professor Boyfriend works for has a meeting concerning what to do with Jamie now that they’ve put millions of dollars worth of toys in her body. Some want to let her continue on with her normal life (na�ve, Will, very na�ve) while others want to make a weapon out of her, and still others refer to her as a wild animal that should be put down before it realizes just how wild it really is. Eventually Will tries to grow a spine and helps Jamie escape, but I’m not sure what good it does when the agency knows every last little detail about her, including her full name, address, phone number, employer, and shoe size.
For a good 2/3s of the show it feels like the #1 thing working against this whole The Bionic Woman dvd sets program is weak men who can’t keep their feelings in their pants. Crazy Katee is supposed to be dead but because of her ex’s feelings (or some other mysterious guy’s feelings) for her she is off on her rampage of nuttiness. And Jamie wouldn’t be a secret government agency pawn if her meddling professor/surgeon/government patsy boyfriend had just left her to heal or not with old school treatment methods.

Anyway, Jamie goes back to her previously interrupted life, tries to make up with her sister who felt a little abandoned when Jamie ran off on a “sudden vacation,” and even returns to work like nothing has happened. But of course things have happened, and it’s starting to show. Her The Bionic Woman on dvd implants are wreaking havoc on her senses, and a familiar looking blonde psycho shows up at the bar where she works to have some The Bionic Woman dvds girl-talk. (By the way, crazy Katee’s character name is Sarah Corvus. It just isn’t sticking in my head very well.) This meeting between Jamie and Sarah is cute in that creepy “Get away from her, I know what she wants and it isn’t good!” kinda way.

Eventually Jamie ends up at Professor Boyfriend’s apartment for some screaming, accusing and, of course, sexiness (what all fights lead to in the wonderful world of TV reality.) Then just when it looks like the happy couple might ride off into the proverbial sunset together, Will is shot through his window by – you guessed it! – crazy Katee. Jamie takes off after the would-be assassin, in the rain, over rooftops, and it is, I’ll admit, very cool. Katee reveals herself to be the first cheap The Bionic Woman dvd woman (in this The Bionic Woman seasons dvd reality which does not include Lindsey Wagner’s The Bionic Woman dvd seasons reality), gives a list of her new and improved parts, and then the real ass kicking begins. That too is very cool. And it ends as you would expect it to end the first time these two girlies exchange fisticuffs, with no real winner or loser.
Afterward Jamie remembers that she has a possibly mortally wounded boyfriend who she had just decided to still be in love with and runs off to see what has become of him. She meets up with the cheap The Bionic Woman dvdss program crew loading Will into an ambulance. She and Jonas Bledsoe – aka Miguel Ferrer, who I have been enamored with ever since he did Shan-Yu’s voice in Mulan – have a heart-to-heart and Jamie decides to join the super secret underground buy The Bionic Woman dvds fun team GO! But she’ll only do it her way and if Jonas and his flunkies don’t like it they can kiss her The Bionic Woman ass (okay, she doesn’t have a The Bionic Woman box set ass, I just thought that would be funny.)

For diehard Starbuck fans there is certainly plenty of Katee running around. She starts the show off on a bloody note, pops up to cause the accident that brings on Michelle Ryan’s – aka Jamie Summers – own The Bionic Woman dvd set evolution, then is seen again in a hotel room for a clandestine meeting with a possibly bad news kinda guy (which brings about another of her random spoutings of “Do you love me?” I’m thinking she has some serious insecurity issues.) This is a lot more of Katee Sackoff than I expected, knowing that Starbuck will be in the BSG mini-series, plus the last season of the show, so this is only a part-time gig. Or is it? Does her constant appearance in The Bionic Woman seasons dvd mean she is the main baddy of the series? I’d hate to get attached to her only to have her disappear within a couple of weeks, especially when so far is she is the most well defined character we’ve been presented with. But there is such a fine line with villains. Sarah Corvus could easily become overdone � with the constant bad girl dialogues and spouting of “Do you love me?” to every mildly hot guy that comes along – so that after a couple more episodes I may be wishing her batteries would just die already.

It doesn’t take an elite Six-Degrees-of-Kevin-Bacon player to see the touch of a Battlestar Galactica producer all over The Bionic Woman dvd. The list of appearances by BSG actors keeps growing and growing. It’s nice to know they all found something to do job wise during the off-season, but it might get confusing after a while if they all keep popping up. Eventually viewers will be wondering if they are watching The Bionic Woman dvd box set or BSG: Alternate Universe.
This wasn’t the worst pilot I’ve ever seen, though I can totally understand why a lot of times viewers never even see the pilot episodes of shows. In the beginning it couldn’t seem to get its flow down, jumping from scene to scene without any kind of attempt at a smooth transition. The writers wanted you to know all the important facts right away and who cares if it made you kind of sick how they were force-feeding it to you! Michelle Ryan as Jamie Summers isn’t terrible, though she is no Lindsey Wagner, and I love Miguel Ferrer so I have no problem with him having a semi-important role. Seeing The 67th Annual Golden Globes box set disney movies are children’s favorite show and COLD CASE dvd is good show about men,Two and a Half Men dvd my favorite show is Two and a Half Men dvd The 67th Annual Golden Globes welcomed Ricky Gervais as host at a gala at the Beverly Hills Hilton, and it wasn´t long into his opening monologue before NBC COLD CASE dvd show is the best populor show on tv box set disney movies brass were doubtless holding their breath, hoping that jokes about his penis and its relative size didn´t go too far. Too late. But things settled down and the winners, true to tradition, were full of emotion and impromptu remarks. The most unusual thank-you went out to Jeff Bridges´ Mad Men Season dvd longtime stand-in, Lloyd, and perhaps the funniest acceptance speech came from surprise winner Robert Downey, Jr., who did a "no thanks" speech instead.

I'm not gonna lie: From start to finish, this was a pretty intense episode of Survivor dvd box set. The Wire dvd box set I'm not gonna lie: From start to finish, this was a pretty intense episode of Survivor dvd box set. Oh, I'm sorry. Was that too much?The X Files dvd I was just taking my lead from James and thought that to successfully get my point across that I needed to repeat myself a million times for no particular reason. You know what I mean… Y'ALL? Federico Fellini Complete movies dvd That's another thing: I have never seen more scrutiny over the alleged use of a contraction in my entire life. I have some vaguely southern roots and bust out the word Leverage dvd box set y'all" from time to time, and I'm usually mocked for doing so, but never has the inclusion or omission of such a word caused such a brouhaha. Entourage complete season dvd Now was that a great Tribal Council or what? James dissing Stephenie. Stephenie talking back to James. Colby jumping in and calling James out like he was taking on Transformers DVD set Jerri Manthey circa 2001. Then Tom jumping in and staring down a man twice his size. And there is nothing — nothing! — I love in the entire Survivor dvd box set Little Einsteins dvd universe more than someone still talking smack even after her torch has been snuffed. Before she took that long lonely walk down the blue-lit corridor of death, Steph turned back to James and said "Some advice. Next time 'ya'll' lose a challenge, lois and clark series dvd a little less cursing off your tribe might help." To which James offered the somewhat lame comeback of "Keep your mouth shut." (Something he had been unable to do ever since they lost the challenge, I might add.) 24 hours dvd season My immediate thoughts upon taking in this whole scene were as follows:
Thought #1: Did I just witness a bona fide bout of Roid Rage? Brothers And Sisters dvd Thought #2: I bet producers off camera were high-fiving each other like crazy the entire time. And then feeling mildly embarrassed and wondering if they should have fist-bumped instead. The King of Queens dvd Thought #3: What the hell are Stephenie and Sugar gonna talk about in the sequester House MD dvd set? I'm not sensing a lot of common ground there. I think it begins and ends at the letter S.The West Wing dvd Thought #4: Was Colby's lip quivering when he called James "bro"? And who still uses the word "bro" anyway? (The same people who high five, perhaps?) The Vampire Diaries series dvd Thought #5: Why does Amanda need glasses at Tribal Council? Is that to combat her image as one of the stupidest Tribal Council performers ever? Curb Your Enthusiasm dvd Thought #6: You know, Amanda doesn't look bad in glasses.
Thought #7: Then again, Amanda doesn't look bad withoutglasses either.
Ugly Betty dvd season Make no mistake: This Father Ted season dvd was an insanely satisfying Tribal Council. Sure, we've seen sniping and shouting at T.C. The Prisoner dvd release before, but not from a tribe consisting of the most popular and allegedly likable contestants ever. Merlin dvd box set I haven't seen Heroes go so downhill so fast since NBC decided to teleport Masi Oka back to 17th century feudal Japan. ER dvd season (Oh, snap!) But it wasn't just the angst and anger I loved; it was the stakes that were so clearly laid out. The first boot for the Chappelles Show dvd box set the show Heroes vs Villains, but rather Heroes vs Heroes (with the Villains all back sitting Torchwood dvd season around the campfire singing "Kumbaya"), and watching these pristine personalities get down and dirty in the process was a treat. Okay, let's back it up a bit and take it from the top. Mad Men dvd Season " star Christina Hendricks isn't happy with all the talk about her famous curves.

Despite her considerable accomplishments as an actress, Hendricks says the only thing people focus on is her voluptuous physique. La Femme Nikita DVDs "It kind of hurt my feelings at first," she told New York magazine. "Anytime someone talks about your figure constantly, you get nervous, you get really self-conscious. "I was working my butt off on the show, and then all anyone was talking about was my body. Homicide: Life on the Street dvd box set self-conscious. "I was working my butt off on the show, and then all anyone was talking about was my body."

So why are they all talking?

She's a "big" girl, at least HEX Complete Season dvd and the show for children Harry Potter films dvd or the show Superman Series dvd according to a New York Times blogger who came under fire for criticizing the actress' figure at this year's Golden Globe Awards. Others simply refer to her as classically, gorgeously curvy, since she's obviously far from large. Star Wars The Clone Wars DVD Hendricks, who plays the AMC show's office manager Joan Holloway, started her career as a model, mostly for catalogues. Right now, she's proud to be part of such an acclaimed show. Dirty Sexy Money dvd season and the series ally mcbeal complete dvd "Lots of television actors use the down season to go out and get creatively fulfilled, but I feel the opposite," Hendricks told the mag. "Anything else I get to do is just icing." the oc season dvd The actress, 34, just wishes more people would focus on that fine work nip tuck season dvd "It leaves a bad taste in my mouth," she says of the particular attention she gets. "Back when I was modeling, if someone said, ‘I'm fasting,' I would say, ‘Can't we talk about something else?' "ounced for the event as it approaches. Burn Notice dvd season One Tree Hill" scraps the lighthearted fun of the last episode with an installment full of crying and (impending) death. Fun! Sex and the City dvd season The James-Scott clan spends the beginning of the episode dealing with Taylor's pity party after being dumped by David. Seriously, though.Get Smart series dvd Dating your sister's very recent ex and then expecting her to feel sorry for you when he dumps you? Taylor just might be a sociopath. Ben 10 Alien Force dvd Everyone ends up at Clay's House MD dvd season in an attempt to avoid Taylor's insanity when Haley's mom (Bess Armstrong) shows up! Considering this is the first time we've seen her since season one (I think?) Golden girls season dvd it's quite the surprise. Also surprising is her showing up at Clay's house, considering there is no actual reason she should know where that is and that he entire family is there. Unfortunately, though, she's not there just to catch up with her daughters. Without A Trace dvd season She's there to announce her impending death. Understandably, the James sisters don't take it well, but poor Haley seems to get the worst of the deal when her Band of Brothers DVD mother explains she needs to be strong for her sisters, so everyone doesn't fall apart. Sounds like a terrible thing to ask someone to be, honestly. 7th heaven dvd Julian is busy directing his movie and is spending a lot of time working on getting the best acting out of Alex. Meanwhile, Paradox dvd Season he and Brooke are still navigating their working relationship. They seem to have settled on "friendly, yet with an intensely Britney Spears dvd uncomfortable level of longing involved." The only thing keeping those two apart is Brooke's pride, Vanished dvd Also in this episode: Millie finally gives in to her recovery and shares at a NA meeting, Alex is still randomly sad/amazing/insecure/confident, and she sleeps with Alexander. (Seriously, I can't figure her character out lately.)
Random thoughts: Project Runway dvd I don't know why, but I really hate Grubbs, the wise, drink-predicting bartender. Twin Peaks dvd Why was he in so many scenes tonight, anyway? And why does it feel like he is this close to having his own storyline? JAG dvd collection
crazy Katee play another delightfully fractured female character is always fun, as she does it so very well, but I’m not sure I care much for the way they are doing her hair and make-up. Oh well, that is just nit picking and I know it.
All in all I found the dialogue and interactions between Jamie and her sister to be the most realistic and believable. Their chemistry as sisters worked well, the way they argued and made up, it all reminded me of how I interact with my own sisters. (Of course taking out this sister is one of the big changes the grand high poobaas of the show made, which I think is a faux pas on their part.) Crazy Katee does okay, and that’s good since there is so much of her, but everything with Professor Boyfriend seems empty and lacking. Either the dialogue between he and Jamie is badly written or these two actors just have no chemistry between them at all. I wonder if it is too late for them to recast Professor Boyfriend as well as Sister Who is No Longer Deaf . . .
