Bionic Woman

[beyelzu]

Ani Difranco was on at the close credits.


I like this show, but the fact that they used ani well that means i have to give them mad props.

[viscousmemories]

I didn't notice, but then I tuned out the romantic pap at the end of the episode.

There are a lot of very beautiful wimmyns in that show, though.

[Writer@Large]

I watched the first three episodes, and I've come away very blah. The show doesn't know if it wants to be a dark re-imagining, or a family drama, or cheesy like the original. It just can't seem to keep a consistent tone! I have two episodes sitting on my TiVo, and I don't know if I'll watch them.

I'm much more enjoying NBC's two HEROES companion shows, though neither one is doing spectacular in the ratings :(.

[livius drusus]

Which shows do you mean, W@L? Journeyman and ... ?

Oh, erm, as for the topic, ya I just didn't like it. Like W@L says, it doesn't have the writing chops to pull off the dark revision that, say, Battlestar Galactica managed to (in the first two seasons at least), and the tone is just all over the place.

As far as I'm concerned, the real Jaime Sommers is selling mattresses, all you other Jaime Sommers are just imitating.

I like Life better. Damien Lewis is a kick ass actor IMO. Loved him in Band of Brothers.

[Clutch Munny]

Mmm... Jaime Sommers + mattress...

I gave it a chance.

CHUCK is the second one. Which has a fun premise, and I love the actors, but the "concept" can only sustain so long without getting old. But fuck, Adam Baldwin is hilarious in it!

[livius drusus]

Ah, okay. I haven't actually watched that one. I watched the first episode of Journeyman but didn't care for it, despite the fact that I :heart: Vorenus.

[Adora]

All I can think is "lol sellout".

[chick]

I see some of Bionic Woman when passing through the living room when my spouse is watching it, but I'm not compelled to watch the entire episode. It's ok but I'm not really feeling the need to keep up with it.

[viscousmemories]

So far it's slightly less painful than Charmed, which I occasionally watch for the same reason I watch Bionic Woman.

And that reason is? :popcorn:

[livius drusus]

:psst: Bewbs.

[Seven of Nine]

Ah. Does he watch Shark?

[viscousmemories]

Does this Shark have bewbs?

[Seven of Nine]

Does this Shark have bewbs?

Yes! So many, and of all ages, that there's hardly room left for a plot. :D

[viscousmemories]

:woohoo:

* viscousmemories rushes off to the dvr.

[Seven of Nine]

I'm pleased I could help out, vm. :D
..and surprised you aren't watching Shark already.

[Dingfod]

I likes me some Shark.

[Deadlokd]

WOOT! Saw an ad last night on our Oz TV. Not only is Bionic Woman on Thursdays at 8:30pm, but the new season of Heroes starts after it! Superkewl!

[Shelli]

I've watched the show. Meh. My husband really likes it but it's not his kind of show really so I suspect it's the bewbs.
