If she runs in slow-mo. I'm there. Really. She's got that kind of talent.
-
Wait... did I spell that right? Also, who will be playing Sasquatch?
-
By that, I am wondering when a theatre movie will be done. She could do it.
-
...it'll be fine I'm sure. Plus ripping phone books in half in front of a classroom is always effective (no idea how I remember that episode).
-
Judging from those two photos, she's plenty NOT!!!
-
I still would though.
-
could we see your picture please?
-
...in this? If so, I will consider the shark pre-jumped (in slow motion, with a "doo-doo-doo-doo" sound). Unless, of course, Bigfoot's in it. Then all will be forgiven.
-
...she looks better suited to play Morticia Addams.
-
that she has guns for hands
-
I assume whedon is behind this.
-
She looks plenty hot to me.
-
Lips are a little too big, though. Like Steven Tyler big. Maybe it's just those pics.
-
They holding out for more meaningful roles?
-
she *still* looks like a zombie
-
... because Amercians are *entitled* to all jobs in entertainment by virtue of being American.
Clear logic ... -
I'd have hit puberty five years sooner. I loved me some Jaime Sommers as a kid, but probably won't watch this one. Unless Lee Majors guest stars as her creepy grandfather.
-
Queen of the chavs? Actually she's quite middle class and well spoken in actuality...still who'd have thunk that Kat Slater's daughter would be doing the slo-mo run?
-
London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go at it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out - and draw another breath... -
Time's a wastin'!
-
the point it is overdone, do we really need this show?
-
Perhaps Jessie Wallace could co-star as the Six Million Dollar Slapper.
"Oi ahhhm your muvver Jamie!!!" -
"EastEnders:A British soap that has been running since 1985, about the lives of people living on Albert Square in the fictitious Walford borough of East London." Wow. 22 years? Must be pretty popular. So they got this soap opera actress to play the Bionic Woman. I was never a fan of the original, but this may have potential if they avoid the camp factor that the original had. SHe's cute. Is she any good as an actor?
-
I would've thought they wanted someone who could act. This could be the most hilarious tv show on television with this girl.
-
From that cancelled (and disappointing) Blade series. No one else will do I'm afraid.
-
The Slaters Gotta Eat!
-
will this bionic woman have to do kegel exercises?
-
BUH Nuh Nuh Nuh Nuh Nuh Nuh ! ! !
-
starring Bruce "Old Spice" Campbell, of course!
-
Nice looking young lady but I had no idea they where turning this series into a Nickelodeon teen sitcom.
-
Lindsay Wagner can ACT. Remember the Bionic Woman happened because she was such a hit guest starring on Six Mil that they had to bring her back from the dead and give her her own show. If they'd planned a spin-off they wouldn't have killed her! It's the memory of how good and believable Lindsay Wagner was that's why Bionic Woman is being revived but nobody's talking about bringing back Six Mil, except as a comedy. AND WHERE ARE THE DVDS. I figure they're holding the DVDs until they can release them as part of the promotion of the new show, kind of like they did with BSG TOS DVDs. If a new show sucks but causes Lindsay Wagner DVDs to come out, then I'm all for it because I don't have to watch the new show.
-
Profit was much better than Bionic woman ever was. Sadly it was well before it's time. Bring that back.
-
How a bionic person with only one bionic arm can bend a steel bar without ripping the organic arm out of its socket. It should fail like sex on a waterbed; it's all about leverage.
-
pity about the face, and the fact that she can't act.Profit was great and we'll never know why he had to sleep in his cardboard box.
-
The short answer is no.
-
the answer is no. not anymore. There was time when they had strong characters like den and ang, but with the demise of Pauline Fowler, that has come to end. It has become horrible to watch(the jane and ian story was embarrasing and painful to watch as was the scenario in scotland with golfing trip. I know awful adam woodyat feels they wont let him leave), it is a joke and for some reason the bbc seems reluctant to slaughter is dying cash cow. to pinpoint where the show demised you have to look at the decision to bring back john yorke. Yorke is fully responsible for the debacle that eastenders has become. The first big story was the Carnival disaster. laughable. utterly laughable. Yorke said he was going to set up an acting and writing academy. This has not improved anything. Then there were that disasterous plot involving a muslim family and they were all terrible actors and they were moved fairly sharpish. There was dreadful billy/honey/petal story. Albert squares resident dimwit billy mitchell and his utterly dim wife Honey announce they are going to have a family and they name the kid petal, but the poor child has DS. the writers fucked that story up completely. then there is Albert square's most annoying family ever. they are black, nothing wrong with that at all. from nowhere up pops Denise abusive husband, who kidnaps their daughter. Even the who shot phill mitchell story was dreadful. I am not suprised that wendy richard wanted to leave. All her family have left home and one son died of aids. Martin is so thick a character, you wouldnt believe and even the way they tried to turn Sonia gay was cack-handed. I cant understand why the beeb deosnt just cuts its losses and kill this awful program. Byt the way if you dont know who killed Pauline on christmas day, look away know. Ray!
-
to tame her bionic vagina? These are the things I ponder during alone time.
-
And I hate all the douchebag talkbackers..everyone has to be negative or say something they think is funny or irreverant on this stupid ass site..I do agree with one comment , Jill Wagner would have been a great choice for this role.
-
We at LEAST have Richard Aoyade (Moss) reprising his role for the American version...and I'm hoping they'll get Noel Fielding to reprise Richmond for it... But this girl...well, that first photo doesn't do her any justice.
-
She's got the tits, but not the hips, or ass for that matter!
-
Did anyone else check out that Giant Squid footage on the BBC website Herc linked to?
-
...mainly as contrast to Steve Austin's bionic eye. So if their doing Bionic Woman without having Steve Austin what's the point with super hearing? Why not give *her* the bionic eye - or even more - - like a whole cybernetic sensory system that jack online through wifi.
-
just google her name. There's a couple of pretty hot pics, imo.
-
I don't recall her ever bending a steel bar using both arms. They always show her using only arm to do "bionic" things. Wonder Woman used to do that, but not the Bionic Woman.
-
Is anyone actualy looking forward to this? It's from David Eick the executive producer of Battlestar and Zen. I'm thinking it will be more Zen and less Battlestar.
-
Its fine. What could possibly be wrong with remaking Bionic woman? Its basically Buffy / DarkAngel / Alias. It will succeed or fail based on the details. The superpowered girl heroine is now a bona fide genre folks. Nothing wrong with keeping it going. We like it. Oh - and don't come in here demanding that it be ANYTHING like the original. This is one of those concepts that they should feel free to completely reinvent. There is nothing special about the last one. Keep the stuff, don't keep the stuff. For once, writers, do whatever you think is best.
-
She has time now that she has cleaned up the streets of Muncie, IN.
-
Also, throw in the return of Bigfoot and I'm there.
-
Or re-imagined or re-visioned or regurgitated. Okay, executives, your butts are covered by going with something that has already been accepted, thirty years ago.
-
Liv Tyler and Brittany Murphy had a kid...and then they found out they were related...CLOSELY related...
-
..would be a better choice if we are going the British route.
-
what's her Sleep Number?
-
Bwwwahahahahahahaha! Awe-sum!
-
Sure, she looks young and cute and bubbly, but it's not like anyone actually expected Hollywood to cast a dog-looking lead. Of course being young 22-something (as opposed to a more mature 32-something ADULT) raises the obvious story question WHY would the government would give a crap about spending a zillion dollars to bionicize HER. But, hey, I guess we'll learn that answer in the pilot and I guess I'm now showing my age a bit. I'm sure this will be made and marketed so it completely plays to the youth market, so maybe the way she gets funded is her fellow castmates at Beverly Hills Bionic 90210 hold a Hollywood fundraiser to generate the cash or maybe the story hook will be that her best friend's dad is a studio exec who gives her the millions to be bionicized by juggling the production company's books.Basically I have to say I'm not really thrilled to see a Bionic Woman TELEVISION show come along if it means it will be done so-so (ie. typical TV budget) and thus generate lukewarm rating, the end effect being that it kills any shot of a bigger budgeted $6 Million Dollar Man FEATURE FILM finally getting made. Basically I agree with others here. The only reason there ever was a BIONIC WOMAN show to begin with was because (1) $6M MAN was such a hit that ABC thought it could milk the property, but far more importantly (2) Lindsay Wagner made such an impact as a guest star on the show and as an actress/personality in the role that the fans WANTED to see her get a spin-off. So doing a BIONIC WOMAN show was warranted back then versus here it just feels like they're trying to reverse engineer demand for it. Frankly, it goes back to my earlier point. I just think far, far more people would rather see a big budget, kick-ass $6 MILLION MAN movie on the big screen FIRST and then take things from there...
-
One of the articles made it sound like she beat out a host of Hollywood actresses. Any big names?
-
BLOND???
-
with betty white where homer pledges 10,000 to keep on the air his two favourite british shows Do shut up and your mouth.
-
shut your mouth.

Plenty Hot? How 'Bout Plenty Not!
Maybe it is those two pictures, but I don't think she can be considered HOT. She is cute and has a nice rack... but HOT...
I'd rather suck on some Good & Plenty's and surf the web for pictures of Lindsay Wagner. -
"So...what parts are bionic?"

I would... and I think you would too. http://tinyurl.com/2p5zuo | http://tinyurl.com/2onwg7 | http://tinyurl.com/3drefw

Gotta love the slo-mo running when bigger golden gonzongas are in play.
-
What used to cost to build a bionic man or woman is now an actor's going rate. Damn, inflation! Hope Jamie Summers isn't built by the lowest bidders when they farm her components out.
-
Barely a woman. How old is she? Twelve?
-
Those aren't 12-year-old cans.

Those aren't 12-year-old cans.

About how the “re-imagining” of the Bionic Woman wouldn't focus on her as a government agent, but more as a young woman trying to deal with the demands of business and personal life in today’s society (or some extraneous bullshit like that). What a load of crap. Phuck this’ and phuck all of you Politically Correct Mulletards who don't think she should be fighting Al Qadea or the god-damn South American neo-communists.
Here’s To Bill Brasky!!!
-
Would have been a good choice if that's the look they're going for.
-
and the rack is fake. Lets hope it doesn't get past the pilot
-
hopefully only in a world where Bionic Woman is played by Jessy Alba and the ladies duke it out in a mud pit and wear bikinis .
-
oh dear christ thanks for that link.
Yes. Yes, i would go inverted on this woman.
I proclaim delicious sandwich. -
only reason she would get the part...
-
Give us a friggin break! She's ALMOST hot.
-
You need a strong core, back shoulders etc in order to pull off some of the things they used to do on that show. That being said, I'm looking forward to this. Hopefully they don't turn it into something cheesy.
-
was the Bionic Man's Space Probe episodes. The Sasquatch episodes weren't bad either.
-
I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna post the most shallow thing I've ever written. Her eyes are fucked up lookin', and she looks retarded. I'm sure she's a find actress, and camera angles make all the difference in the world. But, that's what I thought when I first saw these photos of her. I wish I'd not even looked, because now that's all I'll see when this show airs. Her weird-ass eyes.
-
Michelle Ryan? Shit this is going to be crap!! Who next? Shane Ritchie as Steve Austin?
-
http://img56.exs.cx/img56/1513/Michelle_Ryan-2K5-Arena-Calendar.jpg
Copy and paste the above and check her out. those other picturs sucked -
The pilot has her emotionally scarred after breaking some guy's pelvis in a bionic lovemaking scene, this series will go far. Sex angst sells.
-
she's a brunette?
-
Just a thought,,are there no more original ideas left? A remake of a cheezy TV show? Is this the best they can offer? Why an I writing with so many question marks?
-
Sorry, but she does. It's not too late to stop with the remakes. My childhood hasn't been completely raped... yet.
