La mujer biónica

Unless you took some hype for the show, the premiere was as good as you can get. Some of you make this sound worse then the "bionic dog" they had back in the old school. Oh but it's not. Watch it closely. Acting was good... to an extent. She was great but the babysitter job over the sister took a lot of time and might bring the drama to a halt, but the storyline itself shocked me. I was waiting for a disaster and now I want to see it run, well see her run.. AND thank god it's fast because if I heard that slow motion "speed and strength" sound fx I would of ripped my DVR from the wall. But overall, she is a beautiful actress with some nicely played attitude at the end which, if sticks, will guarantee a hit. I say give it a chance and it will be GREAT success. There is a lot of competition out there so they do need to slot it right. They can't run it during House, Hero's, Prison Break, or any other top drama (Don't forget Dexter!!!). Wow I waste a lot of time but helps me work at night since there is about 15 other shows too. But this one will make my list and time demands me to be a critic.

I loved the idea of this remake and I think the actress is good enough to do it. But I am left feeling very disappointed.

It is almost like the writer had a list of cliché ideas next to him and ticked them off one by one. The whole 1st episode is infected with old ideas.

The one thing that really annoyed me was the mis-timed pace of it. One minute she is with her sis and the next she is having a pointless fight on a roof.

There was no time taken at all to develop her character and show the bionic transformation. This just seemed to be an inconvenience and got in the way of the first fight scene. It is almost like this programme is targeted for the Playstation Nation who are too impatient to sit down and watch a story build so it just whizzes past anything of substance.

Too fast, too cliché and nothing new here at all. Pity. I am struggling to recommend this.

I don't know.

I was expecting a lot and it didn't deliver.

The one thing I do miss is the special effects noise that was made when Lee Majors and Lindsey Wagner ran. You know - Dadadadadadadada.

I was waiting for it and nothing.

And this BW seemed a little too upset at her boyfriend for saving her life - you would think should be grateful for being alive and put back together.

She could of been dead and/or no legs, arm, eye or ear.

I hope this show improves, if not - gone!!!!

I don't know - maybe I was looking for something and just wasn't there.

They seem to build on the characters of others beside Jaime. You know, she was like an after thought to the story.

Let's wait and see..

Yes, I said fun to watch. Will it win any awards for writing, acting, cinematography, effects, lighting, or music? Probably not, but then so what? It's still fun to watch. I admit having never seen Battlestar Gallactica, so I can't give you any comparisons but then why would I, they are not even in the same genre, sure they are both science fiction but that where it ends and it'd be silly to compare them just because some of the actors were in both.

It is a natural to compare this to the original show that was hugely popular back in the 70's, but... except for the bionics and her name there really isn't any similarity. It's a new show with new characters and modernized.

Sorry Oscar.

A great show? No. A good show? Maybe, a few more episodes will tell. Either way it's entertainment and I liked it.

This show seems a little too youth oriented as far as the lead character - and is just not too interesting. There is a great storyline here, but the show doesn't seem to be able to utilize it well enough to be fascinating and captivating.

The series is basically about an early twenty-something girl who is in a bad auto accident. She is reconstituted with bio-engineered enhancements and emerges with extraordinary abilities.

The only problem is that she's not very interesting to watch. There is no spark - the scenes often drag on without ever building suspense or intrigue -- or even any sci-fi appeal. Plus, the character is a little too young to be the sole focus for a general audience show. The music, as if too back this up, is what you typically get in teen dramas.

Unfortunately, there's not much to recommend here. Check it out if you're curious, but my suggestion is to pass on it.
