Thanks for commenting, Wendy. I agree with you that the relationship between the two sisters will cause some tension in the future, but is this relationship going to change at all? Or is it just going to be little sister misbehaving and Jamie layin the smackdown? I think that until the little sister learns about Jamie’s abilities and can really get involved in the narrative, she’s no more than unnecessary nuisance. But she’s certainly a cutie.

Thanks for your comment, watchlist. I agree with you and I hope after an episode or two more of introduction, we’ll get to the show’s meat and potatoes. I’m confident this show is moving in the right direction and we should feel at home in the series with one or two more episodes.

I watched the first episode (which I think was the pilot, I’m not sure), but I think the relationship established with Jamie and was sister was very well done. It set the precedence of showing how Jamie’s role of Bionic Woman will become much more difficult in future episodes, because of this relationship. I’d say put it in now as to not upset viewers rather than just throwing it in later.

Your complaint about a real lack of action/fighting is well taken. We still need to learn more about the character and the company but something’s missing. It’s still too much discovery and not enough sense of urgency, not enough of the character and her strengths being tested outside of a laboratory.

There’s still a lot of promise here though. Looking forward to next week.
