BW is a wasted opportunity. However all the behind the scenes shuffles haven’t helped. I think MR is a good actress but lets face it she is overshadowed by KS. Why did the producers make Sarah Corvus more interesting than Jaime?

The new showrunners need to find a direction for the show and stick with it. Stop picking up plots and then abandoning them.

My last point – despite the bad plots etc…i’m looking forward to it returning.

If they had cancelled Bionic Woman after just the eight episodes, they would have become open to the criticism of cancelling it too soon. As it stands, either the show will improve enough to be retained (which I hope happens!) or they will be able to cancel it without anyone accusing them of hastiness.

• Greg – Thanks for your comments. If they could manage to retool things on BW and resurrect it as something worth saving, I’d be absolutely thrilled.

Your comments, though, indicate you haven’t been reading my commentary on Bionic Woman. When everyone I knew was saying the pilot was a snoozefest, I was saying they were wrong; I was a cheerleader for BW long after most had abandoned it.

I’ve said all along that no one would have been happier than me if they’d gotten it right. The absolutely amazing thing is that with the cast and showrunners they had they were not able to. Even toward the end, I was still blogging about the bright spots I found, but I found fewer and fewer as the season wore (and I do mean wore) on. By the final episode that was aired, I could not believe how incredibly crappy it was. And even then, I still pointed out a couple of things I liked about it.

You are absolutely right that a show doesn’t get a chance like this very often: to retool based on what viewers think. If they do that, hooray! Will they do that? I dunno. We shall see.
