Bionic Woman: The List
By fred | November 8, 2007
(S01E06) This episode felt a lot like last week’s episode, so much that if I remember correctly most of what I said last time, I think that - as far as I’m concerned - this episode only achieve one thing : to confirm everything I thought about the show, its characters, stories, everything.
And for those who don’t remember, that doesn’t mean anything good, at all. As the numbers showed this show is in trouble, and this episode was a new series low. And you know what, it only makes sense.
It’s pretty obvious that without the strike we got right now, NBC would have trashed this pile of crap long ago, and I don’t think no one would have complained. As I said, this episode only confirmed what we already knew :
- Jamie is a moron. How many times have I said that, despite their claim that she got a superior IQ, she was a total moron ? I pretty much should have mentioned that every time, because in every episode she does nothing but proving this little fact. I don’t even know where to begin now, so I’ll just mention her childish behavior over the guy, Tom.
She didn’t want to call, she had her boss to call. And she reminded Tom of that. And then she tried to flirt a little, and she got pissed cause he didn’t call, and then they flirted a little, and then they kissed and so of course the guy couldn’t let her do anything, with her being a girl the love of his life obviously, I mean they met like what, 2 days ago?
Okay, you’re right, they both are morons. And don’t give me that crap on how she knew Picasso was a painter, please. When the french girl asked if she was 12, I don’t think she knew how right she was. She doesn’t like 12, but she sure sounds and acts like a 12 years old.
- Can you say cliché? Everything on this show is cliché, and just because you got a self-aware line about the fact that indeed, getting locked up within a wine vault is a stupid cliché, doesn’t make anything better? It really don’t. Why didn’t any of them react sooner, why didn’t she just jump in and kick the door as they were being locked up, oh and, why the fuck did she had to call ? Oh wait, so we could get that line about how cliché the whole situation was, of course.
- Sister, sister. Why did they gave Jamie a sister in the first place would be a good question to start with. Because really, it never serves any point, all their scenes together are useless and quite boring, to say the least. Even though it might be the first time those two didn’t fight.
And it’s like they know that to have the sister kidnapped or used to get back at Jamie is too cliché and too soon, and they’re heard that the I’m a computer genius thing was lame, so they don’t use none of that. In fact, except for the pilot we’ve never seen her using a computer, or even owning one!
Instead, they sister is having stupid teenage problems that could find their place in series likes The O.C., but not here. It wouldn’t make them any better, but at least it would fit within the show.
- Do they think it’s funny ? What the fuck is wrong with the retarded bunshole behind Jamie’s eyes and ears ? He’s always making stupid remarks and commenting on whatever Jamie sees, says or does, like it’s supposed to add anything to the show, or make things lighter and funny… It really is not.
It freaking annoying, that’s what it is. I just wanted to punch him in the face until he wouldn’t be able to say one word, ever again. Jesus.
By the way : Jamie giving instructions when she left her younger sister alone to party at their house, with no more babysitter or anyone to watch over because, you know, she’s a teenager. And Jamie is so smart she figured out that teenage girls didn’t need any adult supervision or anything, especially the ones trying to have sex with strangers in their car on some lame parking lot, right?
Anyways, so amongst the “advices” was this one : no drinking? No drinking !? Oh men, was that a joke ? Cause that one had me laughing, for real. Ever since the first episode the little sister has been drinking, Hell at some point the two of them even share wine ! Underage drinking has always been part of this show, and now there’s no more drinking ?
What, is that part of the whole stupid “let’s add some stupid green advices no one cares about at this time on your screen” campaign or something ?
- Are they supposed to be spies ? As in, professional ones. I mean, okay Jamie is new and all, but before they got in they decided that they needed to “look” at as many people as possible, after all there was going to be hundreds of people there. To improve their chances they agreed to split up, to cover more ground.
And then what happened ? Oh right, that had a pretty important time constraint so instead of focusing and doing their job, they thought flirting and drinking was more appropriate. And making sure to explain to us all idiots who they were picking on and why they were rejected. How boring.
Seriously, could this show be any worse written that it is now? That scene, the two of them talking up on the roof, well no the whole episode actually, it sucks. It just sucks, plain and simple.
So unless they decide to make a special episode entirely dedicated to Sarah Corvus, that show can be canceled right now, I’d rather watch whatever is on my DVR, some old DVDs, or even a black screen, more than this crap.
