It's just simply been a massive bungle from the beginning. Intentional sabotage could hardly have inflicted more damage. "Alias with Bionics" is far too flattering. "Alias without the interesting bad guys" is again a much too glowing description. I honestly can't imagine people shelling out for the DVD set. As I've mentioned before, the best thing that could happen to BW, aside from not getting canceled, would be for all concerned with the show to be force fed at least the first 3 seasons of "Alias", and then sent to their rooms to come up with something that wouldn't embarrass their profession, not to mention leave the rest of us in stunned disbelief at how such a great premise could be so badly mismanaged. Just look at a partial list of the problems: -no suspense -no danger -no complexity -no continuity (Anthros Sr, Sarah, Euro guy on side of mountain) -no cliffhanger -no hint of an end game -no rivalry -no point to Becca -no point to Jae -no point to Ruth -no point to boyfriend -cartoonish portrayal of Sarah -Jaime's bathroom rape scene It just goes on and on and there's only 8 eppies. If BW is to continue, and I really hope it does, it cannot be successful without serious soul-searching and then NBC rolling out a brand new show. Who knows, maybe retain the cast and rename the show so they can go in a new direction (like that's gonna happen). As for what Lee and Lindsay think of Michelle and Co.. Who cares?

“Alias with Bionics” is far too flattering. “Alias without the interesting bad guys” is again a much too glowing description. I honestly can’t imagine people shelling out for the DVD set.

As I’ve mentioned before, the best thing that could happen to BW, aside from not getting canceled, would be for all concerned with the show to be force fed at least the first 3 seasons of “Alias”, and then sent to their rooms to come up with something that wouldn’t embarrass their profession, not to mention leave the rest of us in stunned disbelief at how such a great premise could be so badly mismanaged.

Just look at a partial list of the problems:
-no suspense
-no danger
-no complexity
-no continuity (Anthros Sr, Sarah, Euro guy on side of mountain)
-no cliffhanger
-no hint of an end game
-no rivalry
-no point to Becca
-no point to Jae
-no point to Ruth
-no point to boyfriend
-cartoonish portrayal of Sarah
-Jaime’s bathroom rape scene

It just goes on and on and there’s only 8 eppies.

If BW is to continue, and I really hope it does, it cannot be successful without serious soul-searching and then NBC rolling out a brand new show. Who knows, maybe retain the cast and rename the show so they can go in a new direction (like that’s gonna happen).

As for what Lee and Lindsay think of Michelle and Co.. Who cares?
