http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/04/BIONIC-WOMAN----Paradise-Lost.aspx So, I’m sitting there watching the second episode of BIONIC WOMAN, and less than five minutes into the show, I’ve already seen the funeral of Will Anthros (Chris Bowers), a grieving Jamie Sommers (Michelle Ryan) discover a huge file on her in Will’s apartment, and Jaime start to engage in rough anonymous sex in a public restroom. The first thing I thought of when Jaime and Steve (yeah, that’s his name) started going at it was Larry Niven’s famous essay on Kryptonian-human sexual issues, “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex,” and sure enough, Steve gets a rib broken in less than a minute. I bet Niven’s still laughing. Anyway, the private group behind the bionic project, personified by Jonas Bledsoe (Miguel Ferrer), is pushing Jamie to sign up for deep blue hero stuff, but Jamie’s not having any of it. Seeing your boyfriend fatally shot in front of you might make one less than amenable to such projects, especially when the shooter was the first bionic woman (Katee Sackhoff). But, after saving a woman from suicide, Jamie reconsiders and decides to put her awesomeness to good use. To that end, she gets introduced to her new supervisor Antonio (Isaiah Washington), a guy she already met in a bookstore. This ongoing surveillance and deep checking into her life doesn’t tickle her fancy in the slightest, but come on. Here’s a hypothetical: Beat people up with your bionic appendages or tend bar? Please, like that’s even a choice. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/04/BIONIC-WOMAN----Paradise-Lost.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/04/BIONIC-WOMAN----Paradise-Lost.aspx#1635 Well guys, this is another realy good fall show!!

I know times have changed, but I think I prefer the compassionate and wholesome Jamie Sommers to this show. I have better things to do with my time. ck2385 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/04/BIONIC-WOMAN----Paradise-Lost.aspx#1659 Sat, 06 Oct 2007 05:32:38 GMT
