Coming this fall to NBC...
The Bionic Woman. [link]
Really.
ETA: Spoiler video for the first episode.
Mal: Does she understand that? River: She understands. She doesn't comprehend.
'Objects In Space'
Boxed Set, Vol. IV: It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh. I hadn't realised that was going on NBC prime. I'd figured it would be somewhere further down the cable dial.
That's got Katee Sackhoff in the pilot, right?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Indeed it does.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I hope that the actors have a chance to work on their signing during the summer. That was pretty lame.

Thrive to spite them
I thought I read that Bionic Woman and another show were debuting on NBC but would move over to SCI FI and/or USA.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Oh, man. It's the pilot and they have the dead boyfriend cliché, ripped straight off Alias, down to the fact that he's a doctor.

Askye, that makes me feel a little less whatever-the-adjective-is-for-not-paying-attent...oh, right inattentive.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I loved the Bionic Woman as a kid. It does not hold up, however. A modern one might be fun. I watched the promo and agree with Vortex and also Jamie is supposed to have bionic hearing, not a bionic EYE!

Can't watch the video at work, so maybe this question is answered: Is she the first Bionic Person? I mean, if she has a bionic eye, maybe that means that she precedes the Bionic Man? And vision's just so cool they gotta give it out up front? I have no idea.

Art Crawl!!!
Oh come on, I thought it was enjoyable. And her kid sister is played by that actress that was the stony girl on GA.
