Bionic Woman 102

I shouldn't really be talking about new episodes of the same shows, before I talk about the first episodes of new shows, but I can't help it! The second episode of Bionic Woman was... good..ish. I was hoping it would be a little more aah, a bit more oooh, and a twist more holy smokes! It disappointed me a little that it didn't have more pizazz and that maybe the plot was a bit fillerish. They clearly want to get themselves to a certain point in the story, and it seems like they decided to cram all the stuff that should happen up until that point into the second episode. Some things were just too convenient, and tied up in ribbon with a nice little bow.

Bionic Woman or Speedy Gonzalez?

The first few scenes really surprised me though, I have to admit. I didn't realise they were going in that direction, but I guess the addition of Isaiah Washington to the cast is meant to fill things out. I find it hard (as usual?) to figure out what exactly it was about the episode that bothered me. The ending it to was extremely anti-climactic. Oh boy, we got a big problem! Phew okay, that sorted that. What's that Jamie? Oh, super!

Body wire? What body wire?

I did really like some scenes however, such as her fight scene. It was a very reasonable start, and I'm glad she didn't turn into super woman overnight. The strange, slightly butch, blonde woman also made a funny. Again though, convenience saved the day, and they completely shrugged off the mystery they were building up. It was strange, but I think I will still be watching for a while yet to see how things pan out.

That's not lying, that's having an aneurysm.
