Given all the summer publicity and the fact that “Battlestar Galactica” producer David Eick was on board, I had high hopes for “Bionic Woman” heading into the season. But after a mildly strong start (which featured “BG” alum Katee Sackhoff in an interesting role), the show is struggling to find itself.
For example, last week’s episode began with Jaime Summers following a guy on a motorcycle. By itself, this isn’t troubling. But she was following him on foot. I realize that she’s bionic and that she can run really fast, but that’s not the point. What if the guy left the city? Jamie is fast, but she’s not freeway fast.
This scene, of course, led to a her chasing the bike down on foot and it ultimately didn’t have anything else to do with the rest of the episode, other than to throw yours truly into a state of disbelief.
It makes one wonder what a great show like “Journeyman” could have done with half of the publicity.
