"Bionic Woman": Good promo, bad casting

i could care less about isaiah washington.

frakin' KATEE SACKHOFF!!!! kicking butt and full of snark...just the way i like her...

That promo has got me hooked.
It looks like its going to be great.

the action looks unbelievable and real.  i'm watching!

sure, isaiah washington's a whiner and has been pulling the race card, but that ain't much of a deterrent.  i've always liked him.  so he's got a temper problem.  so he pulls out derogatory words when he engages in temperamental name-calling.  who doesn't?

plus, i like that he spells his first name with two "a"s, as opposed to isiah thomas, whose spelling of his first name just bothers me because, phonetically, it doesn't work.

'twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Who needs the movie, the trailer pretty much wrapped it up.  They should have ended it after her horror of looking at her legs in the hospital.  That would have hooked me.   (Reminiscent of seeing my legs after a hike in the woods, same scream.) I think you may be right Scribe.  It's a bummer.  But, then again, it's a remake, so what should we expect?  nada. 

I still wish they hadn't done a remake of this show at all. I've seen some re-runs of the original here and there, and a huge part of its charm was the kitschy 80s special effects. There's so many more new ideas that need exploration and a TV time slot! :p

Did anyone get a Buffy/Faith *cough rip-off cough* from that fight scene in the rain? I guess the one good thing to come out of this remake is that hopefully there will be a tonne of homoerotic subtext all around.

Also, is it just me, or did your crush on Lindsay Wagner made your brain neatly rewrite the title as "The Lesbionic Woman" each time you saw it? :)

im more than just a little bit disapointed that you all were so willing to overlook the casting of isaah just because theres "hotness on the show". i was really excited about the remake and was definately willing to give it a chance. when i heard earlier today that he was going to be in at least 5 episodes that did it for me. im all for forgiving and moving on but after he was let go on greys he went on this spree of blaming everything from his race to other actors. there is no way in heck he means a word of what hes saying and im not going to watch the bionic woman if they are going to choose to let him be a part of their show.

I can't wait for...FEMBOTS! ^_^

I've always wanted a fembot. Or a Buffybot. :p

I loved the original show ( I even had the Lindsay Wagner doll with the roll-up arm skin and the Bionic Woman board game) and I'm looking forward to this version as well.  Think of all the different things that could "roll-up" on a Michelle Ryan doll...

I just finally got a chance to watch the whole preview.  I'm a little nervous because I don't often get my hopes up for a show, but I think they just sored past my walls.  That was a great promo/trailer.  I hope it was really indicative of what the show will be.

I can already see the slash fiction emerging.  :P  The fight sequences totally made me think Buffy/Faith, for whom I obviously have a weak spot.

The original Jaime Sommers was my very first little-girl crush.  I was absolutely hooked on that show as a young 'un.  I'm thinking the new show looks promising, but I have to say I was almost as disappointed to hear about I.W. being on it as I was to find out recently that the Bionic Woman playset I had was not, in fact, a secret Bionic laboratory as I had imagined, but the "Bionic Beauty Shop."  What the hell?  She was getting tune-ups in there, not having her hair done!

Back in 1979 when NBC had the orig. series they screwed it up royally by sticking it on Saturday nights at 8, back then a massive strong nite of tv, and the ratings suffered because of the day, instead of putting it back to it's orig. Wednesday at 8 ratings winning slot..then they just cancelled it without even giving it a move in time slot.

Did they really think we fans of the old show would forget that??not a chance idiots!

The new show looks like all the rest of the lame supposed ass kicking shows that come out..just as dumb , and with no heart or real feeling in the characters, beside that the casting is horrible..a brunette Jamie?? and a Brit at that>> give me a break...nothin against Brits, but Jamie is no Brit!

A friend told me the other day that Lindsay Wagner has just agreed to do some guest appearances on the show, and i was surprised, but that would be the only way i would watch...just to see her..and thats it..i have no interest in the show , and would much rather have liked to see Jennifer Aniston do the role like was first planned from the USA network.

Let me say this once ..all you kiddies out there listen up..no matter how cool you think this show looks..it is a total ripoff, the orig show was and is a classic, an no actress..NO ACTRESS will ever be better than LINDSAY WAGNER in this part!

The orig show was a huge hit because of Lindsay Wagner's down to earth real acting talents and the true human warmth she brought to the character..sure it was a simpler time..but this fast action tuff version lacks all the total charm that the fans of the orig loved so much an grew up with..when will TV and the networks ever get a clue that lame immitations will never work...

The worst of all is adding that creep Washington to the cast..that is a real joke!
