Bionic Woman on NBC

[rh71]

anyone else think this is Dark Angel reincarnated (yes I know BW was first in the 80s or 90s).

Alba did the attitude and one-liners so much better. God I miss that. As someone said, the dialogue is pretty bad.

I never watched Dark Angel, so I always say it's a mashing of Buffy the Vampire Slayer with the story elements of Bionic Woman.

It is too different from the original. They are sexing it up too much in my opinion. I want to see fast running, high jumping and the stupid sound effects, not skin.

This used to be a family show, now the kids have to turn their heads...

^ what network tv show back then had skin ? Even shows like The Apprentice show skin. Come on now...

It was an Ok show. I'll end up probably watching again just because there's nothing else to watch.

I'm wondering if they'll have any of the original cast doing cameo's in the new series. I've always found it interesting how writers would get them in there to draw old time fans.

this is like Dark Angel but with a less hot chick

I was hoping for more of a connection with the old show.
I like scifi but I always have a problem with bionic people.

If you bend over to lift up a car or pull open a locked door with bionic power, what keeps you anchored to the ground, wouldn't you fall over or just pull yourself forward , towards the door ?

Bionic glue I guess

What keeps your arm from being ripped out of the socket ? Or your back from breaking when lifting something ? did they replace the whole skeleton ?

The don't do any of that stuff in the new show. She gets her ass kicked when she's not prepared, she mainly only crushes things and throws people. None of that "if you lifted that, your non-bionic back would collapse".

It's okay so far. Not spectacular, but not totally terrible.
