Bionic Woman

About as hot as a plumber's crack.

Well, it wasn't that bad, but I don't think I need to watch again.

They're really pushing the envelope on believability.

Spoiler

The accident, surgery and recovery seemingly takes just a week (she explains to her sister she went skiing), and the explanations are extremely glib. In days she's kicking ass because, they said, the bionics rewired her brain.

That's a bit much.

Darn it, I forgot about it. No, seriously, I wasn't being sarcastic. I had been meaning to watch the pilot.

There were a few problems with it, but perhaps they didn't have perfect tools with which to create the show. So in every show there must be placed a flaw - otherwise there would be no creation at all.

I'll keep an eye on it to see where it goes. If nothing else, I'll still get to see Starbuck and the Chief every once in a while.

I watched up to the point where she woke up the second time in the hospital. I was really tired, and the dialogue was lamer than she was hot, so I turned it off. aTOMiC says it was much better after that point, so I'll probably watch the second episode tonight. But really, it wasn't knocking me out.

Saw the 2nd episode last night. I haven't seen any ratings, but I predict this series is going nowhere. But, Starbuck is hot.

I don't know - it might just be off to a slow start. I'll stick with it a little longer to see if it picks up. But I think the second episode was a little better than the first one at least. And there's another Battlestar actor in there - the woman who played the Roslyn's priest (who died on Kobol).

I missed that, who was she?

School principal.

I thought episode 2 was a bit lame, too. But episode 3 was pretty damn good.

Damn, my DVR screwed up and I missed Ep. 3.

Watching 3 right now. Just realized that there's ANOTHER Battlestar actor in the show. The guy that was in prison in the first episode - who is now helping Starbuck ... um .... what's her name now? (grin) was Baltar's lawyer (the one that Apolo was protecting - and eventually helping).

And I just saw the first commercial for Razor. Woohoo! (although it marks the beginining of the end - which is going to kill me!)

It is a neat show. Not my most favorite, but it is good.

Ratings have been dropping like a heavy stone since the pilot episode. We stopped watching after the 2nd or 3rd episode.

There hasn't been an episode to watch in at least 2 months. In fact, it appears to have been cancelled.

Actually, I didn't watch an entire episode ever. I only saw parts of the pilot and next ep.

Hmm, that first article says the show's been cancelled, but the 2nd article says it's just been suspended due to the writers' strike. However, it looks to me like the show's low ratings has sealed its fate in any case.

I ended up never watching an entire episode either. I'm afraid Michelle Ryan left me cold.
