viktor_haagAfter watching the pilot, and oh, about 23 minutes of the second episode of "Bionic Woman" I have a really hard time imagining that this show will last past a full season, if that. The dialog is so very stilted, and the plots (so far) also a bit rickety. I'm all for shows packed with strong female characters, but wouldn't it be better if they were better?
If you want to start up a new genre show (especially one that's a remake of a not particularly good show from the seventies), I understand that it would be important to pack the first few episodes with all the standard bits and play out all the characters basic stories, like you're framing a house. But it would seem to me really, really important then, to make sure that (a) the characters are compelling, and (b) the dialog sparkling.
This new re-tread can't really claim success on point 'a', and as for point 'b', it passed success on the highway three days ago, headed back in the opposite direction.
