How Jaime got her Bionic back!
The new 'Bionic Woman' preview
Plot: Struggling as a bartender and surrogate mom to her teen-aged sister, Jaime Sommers didn't think life could get much harder. But when a devastating car accident leaves her at death's door, Jaime's only hope of survival is through a cutting-edge, top-secret technology that comes at a hefty price.
With a whole new existence and a debt to repay, Jaime must figure out how to use her extraordinary abilities for good, while weighing the personal sacrifices she will have to make. Ultimately, it's Jaime's journey of self-discovery and inner strength that will help her embrace her new life as...The Bionic Woman.
Preview Comments: The editing for the preview is kind of cheesy at points, but despite that the show actually looks pretty cool. I can't help but make a "Michelle Ryan is no Lindsey Wagner" comment (although in Ryan's defenseit's hard to be as hot as the Wagner ... see *fondly remembers teenage girl!crush*) but she looks like she can be pretty bad-ass, and she does an awesome 'almost cry'.
Plus, Katee 'motherfrakking' Sackhoff shows up in the trailer as Jaime's nemsis, the first bionic woman. And in true 'motherfrakking' Sackhoff style, she manages to make the "ta-da" completely awesome!
They show also stars, Miguel Ferrer, Molly Price, Mark "Badger/Romo Lampkin" Shepard, and Mae "Anne Beal" Whitman doing a very good, as Joy from "My Name as Earl" would put it, "deaf accent".
All in all, this show looks like it might not suck elephant cock (yeah, I'm looking at you PKJ! Getting my hopes up only to stab me in the heart every week!!!)

no subject
Yeah, the fight looked good. I'm hoping that this show will lead to some awesome f/f fight scenes that I haven't seen on tv since Alias got canceled. If Jaime/Sarah is half as awesome as Syd/Anna I'll be in love. Hopefully Katee will have a bigger role that Gina Torres did on Alias (though I doubt it since she's returning as Starbuck to BSG)
But did they have to cast Michelle 'Zoe from EastEnders' Ryan?
I don't really have any idea who Michelle Ryan is, I've never seen EastEnders, but I'm not really thrilled with her casting. I kind of spent the trailer thinking "This would be so cool ... with another actress". I won't say it was horrible casting yet, but its interesting in a way I'm not convinced is good.
*sigh* Jessica Biel, why did you have to forsake television?
