      <title>New Show Review: Bionic Woman</title>

Well, I had a vested interest in this update, since I grew up with the originals.
In fact, COL Steve Austin was my first intended fiance. So I Tivo&amp;rsquo;d, then I
watched as soon as I could. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The characters have been updated to reflect today&amp;rsquo;s American culture, and have
their own conflicts. Jamie has to take care of a younger teenage sister, obviously
not without some conflicts. And there&amp;rsquo;s this guy, a genius professor. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Then the car accident, and &amp;ldquo;THE CHANGE&amp;rdquo;. And yes, I jumped at the car
accident. Hollywood&amp;rsquo;s getting good at these surprise things. It was scary.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The bad guys are a mix of stereotypes and updates. I liked &lt;a href="http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0791968/" target="_blank"&gt;Mark
Sheppard&lt;/a&gt; as the bad father (and inventor of the technology) of the genius professor.
But then, I&amp;rsquo;ve liked Mark since &lt;a href="http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0118469/" target="_blank"&gt;SOF&lt;/a&gt;. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
They set up Jamie as a reluctant operative, which is interesting, and similar to the
original, either dropping or replacing the memory loss story line all together. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Pilot Pronouncement &amp;ndash; it will go on the TIVO list.
&lt;/p&gt;

        <p>
Last night I watched <a href="http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0116213/">Eraser</a> for
the umpteenth time. I hadn't seen it in awhile, and I needed to burn off some caffeine,
so I knitted (real simple knit every stitch - 45 stitch rows), and watched.
</p>
        <p>
          <a href="http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0000216/">Arnold</a> did some acting, and <a href="http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0001001/">James
Caan</a> was James Caan as a fed. The plot was interesting enough, and the action
scenes were well-executed and believable within context. <a href="http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0001853/">Vanessa
Williams</a> did a good job pretending to be an executive, but they didn't put too
much opportunity for real emotion for her character in the script. And <a href="http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0665123/">Robert
Pastorelli</a> - well, you just gotta watch. The only thing I didn't like is the lack
of romantic storyline. But hey, that's just me.
</p>
        <p>
Trivia alert - can you spot the <a href="http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0285885/">president's
son</a>? He was also in <a href="http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0418279/">Transformers</a>.
</p>
        <p>
Bottom Line - if you like action flicks, this is one of the better ones. Arnold, a
believable and cohesive plot, good rest of cast, well executed. I own this on
tape, but I expect I'll purchase it on DVD when I get around to it.
