Episode Review: Bionic Woman



What I Liked:
Sweet fight scenes!
Jamie and the Geek Guy after she breaks her toe
Sarah Corvis playing cards Starbuck style!
Bionic Shelf Life
Isaiah Washington being all evil-ish

What I Didn’t Like:
Super strength and jumping effects are obscenely cheeseball
This has all been done before (Alias, Buffy)

Random Thought:
How easy is it to break in and out of that secret facility? Cuz it seems they have really incompetent security

Overall:
A solid episode but I’m left to wonder if this show is too quickly becoming a stale Alias clone. New mission each week, shady characters, yeah it was done before Alias but this is still a bit too similar to ignore. Jamie’s sister appears and the story just stops, I know that we’re trying to see her have a home life, but if I were Jamie, I’d ditch the kid and go fully bionic. I wish we knew how long Isaiah was going to be around for; I figure he’s probably evil so I’m waiting for the reveal. Oh and Sarah Corvis is obviously not going to be on for much longer, so we’re going to need a new villain, like now! I complain a lot but I still fully enjoyed the show, at least it had action to break up the weaker moments.
