Sigh. Already we have boring repetition. How many more times is BBB (Bad Bionic Babe) going to meet/evade/escape her ex? BBB is great fun, but even her sexy, vampish, come-hither banter with Jamie is starting to get tired.

As for the sister...Yikes. I assume she is in there to appeal to the show's female audience (Bionic Gilmour Girls, anyone?) but she is a major, irritating, pain.

Mr. Washington better get that spin off-series up and running asap, 'cause the clock is ticking on this one.

I think it's all pretty much been said, but this show just does not work as it is. If it tries to be legitimate sci-fi, it fails miserably. Whereas Battlestar Galactica is pretty awesome when it comes to the minutiae, so vital to hardcore fandom, Bionic Woman feels weak. I don't see it ever building that sort of BSG fan base. Also, the fight scenes, the special effects, the writing, and most of all, the lead's acting, are all straight out of amateur hour.

If it tries to be light-hearted or campy, it fails even more miserably. This is a show that's taking itself way too seriously, with the Secret Organization! in the underground silo and the moody set design. I guess it didn't want to be spoofy like 'Chuck', but I gotta think a little camp would go a long way here.

Bottom line: This seems so much more like a JJ Abrams production, not David Eick--a total bungle (yeah, I'll sling a little 'Lost' hate, while I'm here).

*PS--the whole beer and ice cream thing? I think I was willfully choosing to believe that it was high-end root beer, like Thomas Kemper or something... I thought she looked like she was going to make a float, maybe? Hopefully, hopefully...

GARBAGE.

That was the worst episode thus far and one of the worst tv shows I ever watched.

The "actions" seens were terrible and even unbelievable if you think she is bionic. And when she fights -- LMAO. If she cost 50 million dollars, thats a waste of money!

And the little sister -- why do we have her at all? Can we speed up until the season ender she the little sis is kidnapped so we can all beg for them to kill her off.


NBC will pull the plug on this one real soon! Sad really because it has possibilities!

Let me begin with giving this show a stay of execution. I was quite pleased with this episode that I actually had very few negative things to say. Having said that, let's begin.

From last week's episode, Sarah was allowed in the apartment by Becca. During this brief stint, Sarah somehow drugged the drink Becca had and used her as a human shield against Jamie. Sarah does show her humanity and lets Becca go and she goes off and running. As Jamie holds Becca in her arms, I would have thought something would have been addressed about letting in strangers or that was Sarah a Fembot with a bad set of batteries.

The opening shot of Jamie running down the alley in high heels was one of the most dumbest ideas I've seen in a long time. One would think that sneakers or some other athletic footwear would be the better option for optimal running speed. As Jamie closes on a parked car, see finds Becca in the back seat making out with a guy. Of course Jamie is upset that Becca lied to her but this is one of the better setups for the story arc in this episode.

In my opinion it’s the Two Bionic Women storyline that doesn't work. They should have introduced the Sarah Character a little later in the series. I thought Will’s father was supposed to be the big bad in this show.

I took it off my DVR it's just... bad. Just horrible...

Let the NBC finger pointing begin. I've read that the different factions between the writers has made things difficult, but they can't expect us to swallow this pap every week. I'm sorry for Sackhoff because she is brilliant, but we'll see her in BSG RAZOR soon. For my part, I give up, delete from DVR.

I really am trying to give this show a chance, but it amazes me when the producers let crap slide and expect us to be wow'd by it.

1. Everybody knows it but they should've made Katee Sackoff the Bionic Woman, not this Michelle Ryan rookie. It's obvious that Katee is trying to act "over-the-top", but even though she is... she's still much more interesting than the lead actress. Bad casting calls.

2. This is really petty on my part, but I absolutely *HATE* the opening intro to every episode (where she's trying to break through the plastic sheet). I don't know who does their production, but fire them for their amateur-ish vision. Please.

3. The "bionic leaping" shots from last night should've never been released. Michelle Ryan's legs kept running while she's in the air between leaps? Could you look any more ridiculous or amateur-ish? What NBC lead is allowing this kind of crap to get through final cuts? Pathetic.

If this is the type of stuff that David Eick allows to get through on tv, then it sure makes Ron Moore look like Spielberg. I can't believe that 1/2 of the BSG superteam allows poor production to get to the public like this.

Please... improve... your... show...

Wow. Just wow. Not "wow" about the show, "wow" about you guys here. I was all set to come here and give this P.O.S. a scathing review when I see that there are so many people who beat me to the punch that I no longer feel the need to vent. Thank you, guys.

For a show that NBC was trying so hard to push down our throats, this show is pretty lame. 'Nuff said.

(actually one additional thing must be said. I, and everyone I know, love ice cream. I, and everyone I know, love beer. No one that I know has ever tried to mix beer with ice cream. Especially not a 15 year old girl. 15 year old girls tend not to like beer, which is why they sell wine coolers. Maybe she was trying to sweeten the beer with the ice cream to make it wine coolerish?)

Well Said Matt.
after seeing the pilot I wrote on my blog the show has great potential as long as they don't fall into some stupid mistakes.
1.For those who commented about the little sister, i say this she could be worse, the original girl cast would make u go crazy, a little chubby, deaf, tattoos, piercing and a nasty attitude all round.
2. I never like the running scenes it just looks horrible, in this day and age they cant get some better effects.
3. Jamie being retarded - I dont know why the show has her being so stupid, giving the flash drive away; how about sticking it in your pocket, who is going to reach in there and take it from you.
4. The guy that repairs her has potential but the writers apparently hate him, and want him to look stupid on screen.
5. Starbuck is the best thing on the show, her poker scene just awsome, probably using her bionics to cheat and beat those guys. I agree kill Jamie and leave it to the Original Bionic Woman - Starbuck. "Tada"
