Lindsay Wagner’s Tennis Shoes For NBC’s BIONIC WOMAN Pilot!!

Before everyone else. by Max Zorin	Feb 13th, 2007 02:45:07 PM
If she runs in slow-mo. I'm there. Really. She's got that kind of talent.
Sacrelige! by rev_skarekroe	Feb 13th, 2007 02:47:15 PM
Wait... did I spell that right? Also, who will be playing Sasquatch?
When will Sandra Bullock do a bionic movie? by theonecalledshoe	Feb 13th, 2007 02:53:01 PM
By that, I am wondering when a theatre movie will be done. She could do it.
as long as she battles FEMBOTS by Sir Loin	Feb 13th, 2007 02:55:51 PM
...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).
Do not want. by ron2112	Feb 13th, 2007 03:05:03 PM
Judging from those two photos, she's plenty NOT!!!
Queen of the Chavs by dastickboy	Feb 13th, 2007 03:06:41 PM
I still would though.
ron2112 by StovetopStuffin'	Feb 13th, 2007 03:09:12 PM
could we see your picture please?
WIll there be a bionic dog... by Childe Roland	Feb 13th, 2007 03:11:51 PM
...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.
seriously... by jimmy rabbitte	Feb 13th, 2007 03:35:02 PM
...she looks better suited to play Morticia Addams.
Michelle Ryan denies rumors by GunsForHands	Feb 13th, 2007 03:41:17 PM
that she has guns for hands
goofy looking by thecrimsoncurse	Feb 13th, 2007 03:44:51 PM
I assume whedon is behind this.
You guys have teh ghey by CTU Mole	Feb 13th, 2007 03:51:17 PM
She looks plenty hot to me.
Attractive for the most part by chrth	Feb 13th, 2007 03:55:49 PM
Lips are a little too big, though. Like Steven Tyler big. Maybe it's just those pics.
What - no American actresses up to the challenge? by Doctor_Sin	Feb 13th, 2007 03:58:36 PM
They holding out for more meaningful roles?
...upon further review... by jimmy rabbitte	Feb 13th, 2007 03:58:38 PM
she still looks like a zombie
Yeah ... by Superclone	Feb 13th, 2007 04:02:41 PM
... because Amercians are entitled to all jobs in entertainment by virtue of being American. Clear logic ...
If Lindsay Wagner was as hot as Michelle Ryan... by Blanket-Man	Feb 13th, 2007 04:03:06 PM
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 by dr_buggerlugs	Feb 13th, 2007 04:07:51 PM
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?
To: NBC and Michelle Ryan by jimmy rabbitte	Feb 13th, 2007 04:09:22 PM
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...
Where's the SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN on DVD? by brezzel	Feb 13th, 2007 04:12:53 PM
Time's a wastin'!
Given the plethora of female butt kickers to by superninja	Feb 13th, 2007 04:35:21 PM
the point it is overdone, do we really need this show?
Michelle Ryan?!? by Roger Moore Towel Thief	Feb 13th, 2007 04:41:53 PM
Perhaps Jessie Wallace could co-star as the Six Million Dollar Slapper. "Oi ahhhm your muvver Jamie!!!"
I had to look this up...... by Jimmy Jazz	Feb 13th, 2007 04:57:01 PM
"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?
If its true then god help this series by MontyPigeon	Feb 13th, 2007 05:06:48 PM
I would've thought they wanted someone who could act. This could be the most hilarious tv show on television with this girl.
Bionic Woman = Jill Wagner by B0D	Feb 13th, 2007 05:23:37 PM
From that cancelled (and disappointing) Blade series. No one else will do I'm afraid.
I kind of hate myself for this but... by Sly Fox	Feb 13th, 2007 05:27:33 PM
The Slaters Gotta Eat!
The real question by S-Mart shopper	Feb 13th, 2007 05:41:25 PM
will this bionic woman have to do kegel exercises?
NUH Duh Duh Duh Duh Duh Duh ! ! ! by Pound Sand	Feb 13th, 2007 05:42:04 PM
BUH Nuh Nuh Nuh Nuh Nuh Nuh ! ! !
I'd rather see a Buck Rogers make a come back to TV by S-Mart shopper	Feb 13th, 2007 05:43:06 PM
starring Bruce "Old Spice" Campbell, of course!
Los British Deben Comer! by Chanoc	Feb 13th, 2007 05:43:13 PM
Nice looking young lady but I had no idea they where turning this series into a Nickelodeon teen sitcom.
She no Lindsay Wagner by Anakin Whoopass	Feb 13th, 2007 05:49:40 PM
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.
Maybe this version will explain... by Bumpasses Dawg	Feb 13th, 2007 06:00:50 PM
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.
Nice body by DrFarben	Feb 13th, 2007 06:07:33 PM
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.
Is she as good as an actor? by jasper Stillwell	Feb 13th, 2007 06:10:05 PM
The short answer is no.
To the person who asked is Eastenders popular by emeraldboy	Feb 13th, 2007 06:10:10 PM
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!
So, do you have to have a bionic penis by Dr Gregory House	Feb 13th, 2007 06:11:06 PM
to tame her bionic vagina? These are the things I ponder during alone time.
Shes hot by optimus122	Feb 13th, 2007 06:45:08 PM
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.
The IT Crowd by Anna Valerious	Feb 13th, 2007 06:50:22 PM
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.
Doesn't quite have the hips for the job... by groovius1	Feb 13th, 2007 06:50:43 PM
She's got the tits, but not the hips, or ass for that matter!
Great Cthulhu! by Onomaki Forp	Feb 13th, 2007 07:00:48 PM
Did anyone else check out that Giant Squid footage on the BBC website Herc linked to?
Jaime Summers had bionic hearing... by Onomaki Forp	Feb 13th, 2007 07:04:29 PM
...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.
She's plenty hot but those pictures are NOT by oisin5199	Feb 13th, 2007 07:20:25 PM
just google her name. There's a couple of pretty hot pics, imo.
bending steel bars by CaptainBitchway	Feb 13th, 2007 07:26:43 PM
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.
The Bimboionic Woman by The Outlander	Feb 13th, 2007 07:41:40 PM
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.

Tabla Rasa by Cory849	Feb 13th, 2007 09:01:11 PM
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.
DAMN IT MAN....CAST TRISH STRATUS!!!!!! by Jabbu	Feb 13th, 2007 09:41:10 PM

Wow. Another old series gets re-made. by kabong	Feb 13th, 2007 10:15:35 PM
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.
she kinda looks like if by BadMrWonka	Feb 13th, 2007 10:16:02 PM
Liv Tyler and Brittany Murphy had a kid...and then they found out they were related...CLOSELY related...

So it's Beverly Hills Bionic, 90210... by Triumph poops!	Feb 13th, 2007 11:51:16 PM
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...
Question: who did she beat out for the role? by DarthCorleone	Feb 14th, 2007 12:29:02 AM
One of the articles made it sound like she beat out a host of Hollywood actresses. Any big names?

I'd Rather Look At A Good & Plenty by BojTrek	Feb 14th, 2007 07:39:45 AM
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.

"The Six Million Dollar Paycheck." by Uncapie	Feb 14th, 2007 10:58:53 AM
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.
Looks more like Bionic GIRL. by ZeroCorpse	Feb 14th, 2007 11:33:07 AM

Remember the last AICN article on this crap??? by Bill Brasky	Feb 14th, 2007 12:36:07 PM
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!!!
Busy Phillips... by Christopher3	Feb 14th, 2007 01:23:52 PM
Would have been a good choice if that's the look they're going for.

Will Bionic Woman face off against "Mrs. Smith"? by finky089	Feb 14th, 2007 01:57:53 PM
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 .

Give us a friggin break! She's ALMOST hot.
The whole body needs to be bionic by veritasses	Feb 14th, 2007 04:49:54 PM
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.
Best Bionic storyline ever by veritasses	Feb 14th, 2007 04:52:59 PM
was the Bionic Man's Space Probe episodes. The Sasquatch episodes weren't bad either.
Shallow by JumpinJehosaphat	Feb 14th, 2007 09:22:07 PM
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.

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.

Remakes by mclea	Feb 17th, 2007 08:41:17 PM
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?
She looks like a retard by Manatee	Feb 17th, 2007 11:32:11 PM
Sorry, but she does. It's not too late to stop with the remakes. My childhood hasn't been completely raped... yet.
