This crossed my mind the other day when thinking about the extent of Will Anthros’ creepyness (i.e.’grooming’ Jaime) and Jaime’s ability to move on from what surely should still be a very painful time for her (the loss of her baby, Will’s deception/death etc).

So what exactly would happen if one of Jaime’s ‘encounters’ (think public bathroom scene from episode 2) led to her getting pregnant? I assume that the Anthrocytes wouldn’t prevent her from conceiving (or would they?)? Whats more, would her pregnancy term be the same 9 month period as ‘normal’ woman, or would her pregnancy be expedited due to the rapid ‘healing’ that the implants give her?

But I suppose my most burning question is this: If Jaime were to give birth..would the baby be Bionic? Would the baby have Anthrocytes and implants passed down from Jaime? Was THIS Will’s plan..did he WANT a Bionic baby..is this why he was so ‘happy’ to hear that Jaime was pregnant (episode 1), was this why he wanted to marry her, in order to ensure that his investment bore fruit (literally)? Looking back it seems likely.

Of course the hole in this theory is that the ‘unexpected’ accident was the catalyst that made him install her with bionics (in order to save her life)..HOWEVER, from the secret files that he had on her, it seems clear to me that he had long planned to make Jaime Bionic and the accident merely expedited that process.

I know this can be torn to pieces but this is my theory…and I’m sticking to it! Think what such a creation would do to the ‘scientific community’..to be able to create a hybrid child which is genetically ‘bionic’..

Please let me know of any thoughts or counter ideas/theories that you have on the above, I’d love to hear them!

As for the title of this post..yes I tried to be clever with the play-on-words in reconition of the film (which has nothing to do with Bionics)..and I know..if Jaime did have a Bionic baby, it would be worth a lot more than $1 Million, seeing as Jaime is worth $50 Mil of Burket money ; )

*Also, just to let those of you interested know that the Episode Investigations for “The Education of Jaime Sommers” will be posted in a couple of days time – I figured that with there being no episode this week, I would delay it by a few days.

Mark Sheppard

IGN TV: When you cast Mark Sheppard, what was the idea to go with an actor his age and then age him through makeup? Why not cast someone older?

Smilovic: He’s a brilliant actor. You know with Mark that you’re going to get a great performance every time, and with that it’s worth it to go through the process of doing the prosthetics and aging the actor because you know you’re going to get a kickass performance.

IGN TV: Will he be on for the full season?

Smilovic: Yes. You know, it’s funny because I was on set. And they were shooting a scene and somebody brought Mark over and he was in the makeup. I said, “You look great.” And he said, “Well this is what I look like now, but when I start doing it…” And he started to sink into the character, and there was just this eerie feeling pervaded the room – immediately. And I said, “You did it. You’re going to be great.” I knew it right then and there. It was awesome he was able, just by lowering his voice, to change the barometric pressure of the room. It was awesome.

Smilovic obviously isn’t giving much away, but I get the feeling that we could see Bionic’s play a slightly different role in Anthony’s storyline. Afterall in the ‘real world’ we have ‘Bionic skin serum’, which is argued to produce an age reducing appearance..perhaps the Burket Group have not only developed a way to make a person ‘better, faster, stronger’..but also younger/older..?

I’m willing to throw that theory into the hat..i’ll build on it once the show actually starts and I have more to go on.
