I started watching Bionic Woman and I have two things on my mind: Will Yun Lee! and Who's the blonde not played by Katee Sackhoff?
Off to IMDB.
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
She was in "Third Watch", ita with a completely different hairstyle.
I did not love "Life." I watch a whole lot of crime and I felt that the main character's weirdass quirks started getting on my nerves. I missed maybe 20 minutes in the middle, but I felt like it was generally a formulaic show. Like if you dropped Bobby (L&O:CI) in "The Fugitive."
I also got the distinct whiff of imminent cancellation while watching the pilot. NBC is premiering 4 dramas this Fall and odds are at most 2 will survive. BW I think will survive. That leaves "Chuck" or "Life" as possible show #2.

Aha! She was the one that got pregnant and had the abortion, right?

Molly Price, Bosco's partner and sometimes lover, and she had a son.
I think Life could do without the fruit thing. Though it didn't make me cringe as much as I thought I would based on the promos. Or maybe I just numbed myself to them from obsessive watching of said promos. I think I'm also just tickled to see shades of Mr. Gray peaking through every now and then.

Okay, I've finished the ep of Bionic Woman. Just not in love with Katee Sackhoff. I don't like her delivery at all. I know she's all Daddy's bruised little girl painting over it by being breathy and provocative, but ...bored now. Faith did it so much better. I think the lead's doing a great job, but I think I'd like to have seen more of her being tough as nails before the surgery, just because I think most people would cave entirely, and I'm not sure why she didn't. Her sister is beyond annoying. That may never change.
Oh, and trivially: Katee Sackhoff was wearing the best colour of lipstick in the bar scene, but when we see her in the bathroom later, it's not the same. Disproportionately bugged me.
Also, was there an explanation for why Badger's face looked so rough in his final scene? That's not how it looked when they visited him in prison, right?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
if i'm not mistaken, ita, i think the sister role has been recast. not that it will probably help.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
I'm on episode 13 of marathoning the first season of Farscape because --I'd never seen any of it. I didn't know if I would stick with it past the first episode, but I'm glad I did.
The incident with the pilot's arm in DNA mad scientist still really bothers me. I know it was supposed to, but three episodes later, I don't know if I can ever really like the characters involved in that decision. It was shocking, and horrifying, and I didn't think they would go through with it. I guess that is good storytelling even if I am left with kind of a sick feeling.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I didn't think they would go through with it.
Welcome to Farscape.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Austin! How very fun! I remember posting in here when I finally marathoned Farscape.
I had a similar reaction to "DNA Mad Scientist," Austin. I wasn't sure whether the decision was any better because Pilot could grow his arm back.
I didn't think they would go through with it.
Welcome to Farscape.
Heh.
I didn't know if I would stick with it past the first episode, but I'm glad I did.
Yeah, I had been told by many people that it started out not so hot, so I kept trucking even though it was mostly just mediocre with shades of goodness for a while. I think "DNA Mad Scientist" was the first sign of the show's real potential. Although I really enjoyed "Back and Back and Back to the Future."
Keep posting, Austin.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Welcome to Farscape.
I was afraid of that.
I had a similar reaction to "DNA Mad Scientist," Austin. I wasn't sure whether the decision was any better because Pilot could grow his arm back.
I considered this also, but I think my reaction is based on his reaction. He looked, at the time, traumatized. Despite what Pilot said, I still had a sense that he felt violated and betrayed. But then he recovered, albeit slightly sad, while I was still left with OMGWTF.
