bionic woman 2007
replacing Lindsay Wagner (circa late 70's) as "Jaime Sommers", aka: The Bionic Woman, is Michelle Ryan, in NBC's new upcoming re-imaging of the "classic" tv-show = read more on Access Hollywood [via]in an attempt to sustain their (ratings) success with the superhero / super-powered HEROES, NBC has given the go-ahead for this retro-revivial, but instead of $6-million dollars (oops, that was the "dude", innit?), the new millennia bionic-fittings cost a cool $50-million instead (inflation and all dat lah - if not, go peep this "real" Bionic Woman) - i wonder if they'll still keep the iconic-bionic-sound-effect? = c'mon, you remember that bionic-sound right? (*heh*) ~ preview website online now ~
personally, Lindsay was "up there" with Lynda Carter, for me anyways (gawd my age is showing, innit? :p) - go down memory-lane with the original tv-show opening here:
*heh*
*added new show synopsis & details - after the jump*
"Struggling as a bartender and surrogate mom to her teenage sister, Jaime Sommers (Michelle Ryan, "EastEnders") didn't think life could get much harder. But when a devastating car accident leaves her at death's door, Jaime's only hope for survival is a cutting-edge, top-secret technology that comes at a hefty price. With a whole new existence and a debt to re-pay, Jaime must figure out how to use her extraordinary abilities for good, while weighing the personal sacrifices she will have to make. Ultimately, it's Jaime's journey of self-discovery and inner strength that will help her embrace her new life as the Bionic Woman." [full text via SHH
