Watched NBC’s Bionic Woman (the site is slow as hell, so click at your risk), mainly to see how Katee Sackhoff of Battlestar Galatica fame would do. She was good of course, great actress, but the rest of the cast was pretty lightweight, especially Michaelle Ryan as the main star, Jamie Summers, who gets a robotic implants after a terrible car accident. This first episode was very plot driven, designed to lay out future directions, while giving us a brief hint of the characters. It’s whirlwind of mostly cliche plot lines and characters you don’t care about, except for Sackhoff’s character, who was an earlier version of the Bionic Woman, but now seems to have gone a bit crazy.

Watch it again? Sure, just to see Sackhoff, who can really anchor a scene, and in hopes the rest of characters and show will develop into something memorable.
