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!!!)

Hopefully it doesn't go all PKJ, but at least we have Starbuck bringing a certain level of badassness. I am a bit worried about Michelle though. It's almost like she's concentrating so much on getting her accent right that she isn't really acting. Just because she's the good girl doesn't mean she has to be timid.

It could well be good but it'll need a few brilliant arcs in the first season to keep people entertained. After all, it's a concept that was done to death 30 years ago and it's going to be competing with Heroes and PKJ in the genre. I wish them both the best but i fear it wasn't a great move for either of them.
