Bionic Woman: Picking up speed but still lagging behind

As picket lines swamp the streets of La-La Land, the media has so far spent its coverage of the Writers Guild strike by either staring awestruck at the black hole that was late night television, or else cringing with fear over The Office and 24 shutting down. I'm more interested ... Read the full story.

Bionic Woman - Not Back Until Nov 7th!

Though it has occasionally tried to be modern and hip (particularly during its fight scenes, which use quick edits, generic guitar riffs and techno beats to mask some truly pedestrian choreography), the first few episodes of Bionic Woman have been mostly filled with the sort of eye-rolling melodrama that ought ...

Bionic Woman - Third Time not the Charm

In what was certainly an unintended moment of irony, this week's Bionic Woman revealed that Sarah Corvus has been diagnosed with a terrible truth: her body is killing itself and only an injection of new-and-improved bionics can save her.

Bionic Woman Episode 2: And the plot thickens...

You know how sometimes you meet someone and, maybe there’s a miscommunication or it’s just a bad day, but whatever the cause, you walk away with this lousy first impression that is only later revealed, and quite surprisingly so, to be the complete opposite of who that person truly is? ...

Bionic Woman - Why Should You Care?

I confess I don't know much about the original Bionic Woman show. I'm pretty sure it was a spinoff of The Six Million Dollar Man (which I remember more for Lee Major's gun-toting, ass-kicking cameo in Scrooged than for anything else). Like that 70's slice of candy corn-fed Americana, no ... Read the full story.
