Filed Under: Season 1Discussion: C[1]mments
Jaime and Tom team up again in search of a List of CIA and Burka Group agents. And they get to go to Pairs to do it. Cool.
Becca gets picked up for driving without a license and calls Jonas. And they talk for a short bit about Jaime’s new job , which Jonas brushes off as ’selling timeshares’. I wonder how long it will be before Becca learns the truth about Jaime.
This episode moved alot quicker with alot more action than the previous episodes. If these can keep going like this I think the series will pickup. So far I haven’t been real impressed, I was hoping for more, but I am still holding out hope for this show.

This episode took a more dramatic turn towards Jaime being a true secret agent.
I thought it was odd that Antonio and Jaime were back together again in the office and working on a case with no grievances, after the fight that had in the last episode. But that is TV.
The story-plot of this episode seemed more real and intense than the last 2-3 episodes. I thought that the Al-Quida scenario was a good one to throw into a show about secret agents, in today’s world.
Jaime meets up with a CIA agent who seems to be slated to be in the next episode also, and searches for a microchip with government secrets on it that is being sold to the enemy. Real unique, huh? Sounds like a 1950’s episode of ‘The Green Hornet’ - but as far as this series goes… I think it was the best episode yet.
I am still waiting for this series to pick up a little more and become the series I was hoping it would be. There is so much potential to this show that they haven’t tapped yet. I hope they turn it around soon.

I think this was a pretty good episode. It shows Jaime discovering more of her abilities and it showed Sarah in the role of a possible ally instead of an adversary.
It seems to me that they are dragging out the story of the introduction of Jaime into her Bionic role. I think they could have easily made a 2 our premiere that covered all of this story-line that has transpired so far. So the series is moving a bit slow, but I do like the storyline that is evolving.

Filed Under: Season 1Discussion: C[0]mments
The 2nd episode of the series starts off a bit strange. A funeral for Jaime’s fiance, so apparently the character who invented bionics dies after the first episode. Strange. Also, Jaime seems to have forgotten that she told Bledsoe that she would work for him at the end of the previous episode, since she wants to go back to her life and job of bartending in this one. I guess she had a change of heart.
Anyway, I think the episode played well into the series kick-off. Jaime learns a little more about what she can do and how to use her abilities and she finally gets onboard with working for this clandestine company.
I believe that we will see a larger part of this virus that is released in Paradise and kills all these people, some time later in the season. And I wouldn’t be surprised to find the lonesome girl from the town who was the sole survivor pop up again and donate blood for a cure or something. My theory is that Sarah Corvis had something to do with it as well.
Next week’s episode previews shows Sarah and Jaime both fighting and working together. It should be interesting to find out how that ends up.

Great Episode. I would have been a little happier to see a 2-hour series premiere, but I think this one did quite nicely.
The original series was a little before my time, but I used to watch the re-runs when I was growing up. I vaguely remember the story. One thing I do remember is that the original Jaime was hurt in a skiing accident. I don’t remember her dating the guy who gave her implants. But I am not sure.
I think this series started well, they introduced many new characters and a few different story lines, some that we can see where they are going and some not. Hopefully they are setting it up for some plot twists coming up later in the season and a good cliff-hanger. That is what keeps people watching.
Katee Sackoff plays a good villain. She seems to like the sci-fi genre. And I find it funny that Miguel Ferrer was in this series after playing one of the cyborg technicians in the original Robocop movie. Seems a little coincidental, but he is a good actor so will probably do quite well.
I’ll be interested to see how long Katee Sackoff stays on the show, whether they will kill her off of keep her on the show as a reoccurring villain. Also I predict that the company that built Jaime will be somehow corrupt and found out as being a bad guy. But who knows, perhaps not. I will also be interested to see if Steve Austin or Oscar Goldman ever show up and if we will see a Bionic Man appear, perhaps with his own series, if this show does well. You never know.
