Bionic Woman: Classy Remake or Fallen Hero?

There's a new crime fighter in town and she sharply resembles something out of the movie AI. On September 26, a new show will hit the airways by storm. The new show, Bionic Woman, is being touted as the Fall Must Watch show of the season, but will it really live up to those expectations?

After having watched the preview of the new series Bionic Woman, I am a little more than intrigued by the story line. The producers followed the general story line of the traditional Bionic Woman, with, of course, many changes for the advancements of technology.

The storyline for the series Bionic Woman is simple enough. The main character Jaime Sommers is involved in a massive car accident and her scientist boyfriend decides to help save her life by rebuilding her with bionic parts. When Sommers finds out, she is less than happy but later decides to use these extraordinary gifts for the betterment of the people.

What I found to be disheartening about the show, was the inclusion of a rouge bionic woman. The first of her kind, she has decided to take the evil road and proves to be a smart antagonist in the series. While I follow the general Bionic Woman storyline quite easily, I fail to understand how this rouge character will play into the series on a regular basis. And, if she is quickly brushed under the rug, how will there be anyone to ever match up to the new and improved Bionic Woman?

My predictions are simple and straight to the point for this series. I believe the series will gather a cult following of sorts. All of the old Bionic Woman fans will watch religiously, but the series will soon change time slots to a far less prime space and be canceled within a year.
