http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/25/BIONIC-WOMAN----The-Education-of-Jaime-Sommers.aspx A recently repatriated P.O.W. gets up from his hospital bunk somewhere in Iraq. Without a word, he picks up a scalpel, slashes a guard’s throat, then picks up the guard’s weapon and lays waste to the doctors and patients. No, it’s not THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE v. 2.0, although it does turn out the soldier had a neural implant. As Jonas (Miguel Ferrer) tells Jaime (Michelle Ryan) at the beginning of this week’s BIONIC WOMAN, there’ve been a couple of other attacks by guys with similar implants, which are normally used to treat depression but seem to work well in engendering homicidal impulses. Bonus. This doesn’t sit well with the Berkut Group, so while Antonio (Isaiah Washington) goes on a hunt for whoever is distributing the implants, Jaime gets to go undercover at a university to check out the guy who developed them, a renowned neuroscience professor (Kenneth Walsh). Irony of ironies, her cover identity is an English transfer student, so Ms. Ryan gets to use her natural speaking voice for once. Anyway, she gets to know the professor’s T.A. Tom, which drives Jaime’s handler/lab tech Nathan (Kevin Rankin) slightly mad with jealousy. Maybe that’s why the professor catches Jaime breaking into his lab so quickly. $50 million and she can’t scan the area using those bionic appendages? Nathan can get the security code for the lab, but he can’t tap the surveillance feed? Come on, people. 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/2007/10/25/BIONIC-WOMAN----The-Education-of-Jaime-Sommers.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/25/BIONIC-WOMAN----The-Education-of-Jaime-Sommers.aspx#1927 not what i expected WAVELYN http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/25/BIONIC-WOMAN----The-Education-of-Jaime-Sommers.aspx#1927 Wed, 31 Oct 2007 01:03:40 GMT
