Biooniline naine Pilot (2007) watch online HD

I'm not an avid TV show watcher, but was intrigued enough to download this for free from Amazon.com. I had occasionally watched the original Lindsay Wagner series in the 1970s and I liked the strength of her character and the fact that, despite her special abilities, the original Bionic Woman remained very human. So... I finally got around to watching the pilot for the new series last night, and found it slightly surprising and a little better than expected.

Michelle Ryan's character also starts out as a strong woman, but has a very different background, and a host of somewhat contrived emotional issues which are much more typical of 21st century soapy TV pseudo-drama . She's 24, pregnant, a bartender, and has a strong though problematic relationship with her boyfriend. Ms. Ryan's performance and the show's strong script, however, make her likable and believable - unlike many similarly cast TV heroes and heroines.

We all know the story... Promising young woman is crippled in what appears to be an accident and is given cybernetic limbs and a couple sensory organs. But the pilot also gives us a couple important twists. First - there is the shadowy and ambiguous sociopath played by the excellent Kaytee Sackhoff - is she going to be a mentor? Will she remain a murderous enemy? Or is it possible she will be both? Also, Miguel Ferrer's Jonas is perhaps the paradigm of the military organization that created the Bionic Woman - although the character promises depth, he shows up in the pilot as a ruthless, mercenary, military bureaucrat.

The pilot was well written, well acted, and well directed. The special effects are adequate but borderline cliché for scifi TV today.

All considered - worth a try.

OK... just watched the pilot for Bionic Woman and I'm not sure what to say. At first sight it seems just another action show where the producers mixed conspiracies, the US Army, superheroes & supervillains and a pinch of love. But...

I have to say I never saw a second of the original show, but, although the pilot isn't much, I'll give it a shot! Because it left me with a sour taste in my mouth, a craving for order & a need to clear the fog; definitely the story is predictable, but it also seems sort of mixed up... There are too many pieces missing in this puzzle; maybe something good will come out of this remake - they surely have everything in place!

Oh, and another reason to watch "Bionic Woman" (for those of you who haven't already done so) : "Prison Break" is on vacation and so is "Lost" ... So give it a shot!

As a child of the '70s, I was somewhat familiar with "The (original) Bionic Woman" that starred Lindsay Wagner with occasional appearances by Lee Majors as Steve Austin of "The Six Million Dollar Man" which "TBW" spun-off of. Maybe one of these days, I'll re-watch them on DVD. This version, starring Michelle Ryan, was pretty imaginative with Jamie having a boyfriend whose father happens to have invented the parts that replaced those of her after the accident and previously also replaced those of another bionic woman played by Katee Sackhoff who's no good. Nice to see Miquel Ferrer here having known him previously from RoboCop and "Twin Peaks". Can't make up my mind if he's a good guy or bad guy. Not a great pilot, but interesting enough that I'll keep watching. Since "Lost" won't return until February, "Bionic Woman" should fill the genre need on Wednesday until then...
