I officially give up on Bionic Woman. Like many of my generation, I had high hopes for this 70's rehash. It's produced by the same people who did an admirable job on Battlestar Galactica, so naturally I expected the same effort. Instead it appears they didn't make any effort at all. The actress portraying Jamie Summers, while attractive, does a poor job convincing us that she has any motivation. The scripts are weak and go nowhere. The point of the show is that this woman is bionic, but they don't showcase her abilities at all. I have no idea why she's a spy now and they spend way too much time pursuing a pointless romance. I imagine they're trying to attract female viewers but it's at the cost of the core male audience. They completely dropped the initial story line involving the other bionic woman and the father of her dead fiance. That held promise but they lost their way. I am now just waiting for the cancellation ax to fall and put a merciful end to this failed experiment. Still, I'm hoping they'll come to their senses and get back to basics before it's too late.
