I finally watched the pilot of "Bionic Woman" starring some chick as Jamie Sommers and my girl Katee Sackhoff as her nemesis. Katee looks fabulous, btw. I suppose I should cut for spoilers? ( spoilers )
Is it wrong that I am totally rooting for Sarah Corvis - Katee's character - to convince Jamie to team up with her for some hot girl-on-girl action in between kicking ass?
Well, I'm right there with you, so even if it's wrong you are definitely not alone. Doctor boyfriend is so very creepy. And that's definitely Badger. :) I saw the pilot at Comic-con, and while it wasn't the worst pilot ever it also definitely wasn't the best. I don't know.
If wanting hot cyborg on cyborg action is wrong, I don't wanna be right! *g* And I thought that was Badger. I'm glad to see him getting work.
It was very pilot-y, in terms of setting stuff up, and my understanding is they've already revamped a bunch of stuff, so who knows what it'll actually be like. But it's Katee that makes me want to watch, my childhood love of Jamie Sommers notwithstanding.
Oh yeah, Katee was totally the best thing about the pilot, and I don't even watch BSG! (Yet, anyway. It's on the list.) I've heard they changed actresses for the younger sister, and that she'll no longer be deaf. It's too bad, I actually rather liked her. But they better be keeping Badger! Ah, Firefly, how I miss you.
I thought the actress playing Jamie was sort of meh -- not as terrible as my roommate thought she was, but not that great, either. It still seems a bit odd to me that they went with a UK soap star. At least her American accent is decent.
Oh, you really should watch BSG. It has lulls - the second half of season two and the middle of season three are... not up to par - but when it's on, it's on.

Me, too. I guess she wasn't cool or sassy enough or something for NBC. *is cynical*

I thought she was very pretty and sort of blank. Ah well.
Yeah, I watched the pilot as well. It was pretty "meh" overall, I thought, but, yeah, I'm going to be watching when Katee Sackhoff is on, and feeling totally cheated every time Jamie kicks Sarah's ass.
I didn't find the doctor boyfriend creepy, really, but I thought he and Jamie had no chemistry whatsoever. Their scenes were soooooo boring. Everything that didn't have to do with Jamie discovering her powers or Sarah being badass was pretty boring though, so that's not surprising.

I feel they went about setting this up all wrong. I want Sarah and Jamie to team up, not be nemeses, possibly because I like buddy pairings better, but surely there will at some point be some episode where they have to work together to fight a common enemy. I feel they must do this, and there must be oodles of UST and it would be AWESOME and that's the show I want. Um.

Yes! I too hope for this. What I really hope is that there will be some plotline that forces one of them to join the side of the other for a long stretch of time, so that Katee can be a regular on another show immediately when BSG ends. Because I have learned that there is nothing so awesome in a TV show as Katee Sackhoff swaggering around and kicking some ass.

The show would be much better if it were about that.
