Bionic Woman season 1 thread (1 Viewer)

The pilot left me a bit wanting as well, this show should be fun and light but instead we get a loud, dark and dank emo-fest.

I'll give it more time and watch a couple more eps but I just don't care for the aggressive tone of the show at this point.

Her performance is one of those "Jack Nicholson as the Joker" moments, where you think, "Oh, this is really about the side character."

Oh, so you mean that she's a ham-fisted no talent hack that totaly screwed up the core of the character? Comparing her to Nicholson isnt exactly filling me with confidence.

Why am I thinking the govt controls that lab...liek some secret project? Is this not the case? That's what i took away from it...I think think the pilot does a good job of setting up the story...we shall see

Hmmm... Perhaps there are creative changes afoot. I just read the following in a Fall Season preview article over at Yahoo!The addition of Katims is a promising one IMO. His Roswell is a personal favorite of mine and I hope he can bring some of that sensibility to this series. Also and most recently, his season one Friday Night Lights work has been stellar.

I guess I may have to check out another episode or two before I pass final judgement on this one...

Yeah I got that that lab was some kind of black-ops government lab as well, and their mission is to keep ultra-sophisticated technology out of the hands of ...well out of the hands of everyone.

Just a reminder that Bionic Woman finally airs on NBC at 9 p.m. EDT tonight. (timeslot corrected)

 

[Kevin Grey]

Pretty sure it's 9pm.

 

[Patrick Sun]

Oops, forgot about "Deal or No Deal" in front of it in the 8 p.m. timeslot.

All I've been hearing from the BF for weeks is when the original Bionic Woman is coming to DVD. Maybe watching this tonight will shut him up for a while???

 

[Garrett Adams]

A lot of people have panned this show but I enjoyed the the pilot and plan to stick with it.

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

I just think that the show could use some retooling, dump the dark and unpleasant tone and make it a tad lighter, it was depressing to look at and it hurt my ears.

 

[Patrick Sun]

I'm glad it's finally aired so we can get on with the season, the previews look like fun, a little more lightened up from the pilot.

I'm guessing the new hacker kid sister angle will come into play as Jaime needs some help here and there. I wonder if Becca will play anything but petulant in future episodes.

 

[Chris]

It's not bad. But what kills me is how much better I think this concept could have been.

 

[DaveF]

Rough start. Worsened by starting 2 minutes early, so I missed the beginning. Some wooden acting.

A few intriguing ideas. I'll give it some more episodes, but I'm not wowed like I hoped to be.

 

[Will_B]

Ditto on that. The new sister was one note all the way through. The original sister (the one who got edited out) at least conveyed the reason she was pissed off -- she wasn't really angry, she was sad and frustrated about being left alone. The new sister was just pissy for the sake of being pissy, and probably would have loved to have been left alone. So that didn't work, storywise. I hope they write her out of the show. Send her to college or something.

So there are parts of the original rough cut I liked better than the finished version, but that is inevitable. (I also expected a better musical score).

Altogether it held up, though.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

I really liked the pilot. It's not a show to fall in love with, but the production is top notch and the writing was solid enough to make slick production enough. I'll be tuning in next week.

I really don't see what's so dark about it; apparently most of you don't watch Eick's "Battlestar" (which makes this look like an episode of "I Love Lucy")?

 

[Jose Martinez]

Not impressed. The only thing good was seeing some BSG actors in the pilot. Definitely needed some Bionic sound effects in the action scenes, which were pretty lame and didn't really convey how strong they really are. Also, wasn't Jaime's non-bionic arm broken by 1st Bionic woman? Yet she miraculously healed.

 

[Citizen87645]

It was funny seeing all the BSG cameos.

The pilot was okay, but felt a bit over-written and consequently over-edited. They should have removed the pregnancy thing for as much time was spent on it.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

They explained that in the episode. She heals quickly because the nannites that repaired her after the initial accident are still in her bloodstream.

I love these kinds of subtle promotional websites!
