After catching the premiere of Bionic Woman, I'm interested enough to want to watch it next week. While the hotties alone would make it worthwhile, I also like the style of the show and I'm feeling open-minded about where they'll be taking this schtick.
The new Jamie Sommers is a bartender instead of a teacher, and her boyfriend is a surgeon of the mad scientist variety, who replaces both her legs, one arm, an ear and an eye with super improved parts, following a devastating car accident. At the end of the pilot, she's left deciding whether or not to work for the organization that funded her overhaul, though we're not given the impression she'll have much choice.
Katee Sackhoff is definitely hot as Starbuck on BSG, but as the evil bionic woman, she's totally fuckin' smokin'. Holy shit. Unfortunately, she's not destined to stick around.
So, it looks like there's some potential here. It takes place in a dark, dirty & complex world where people do things that aren't always beneficial or wise. Sounds like a fine place to start some good tv. Perhaps it's just wishful thinking, but I'm hoping this show is more scifi and less primetime drama than the original incarnation. As always, we'll see.
