Like many of you, I am disappointed with ‘Bionic Woman’. Regular readers will know that I do think the show has a lot of potential and a fabulous cast, but it’s just not working..it’s just not right.
So I think I’ve come up with a possible solution..well it was actually suggested by Page 48 who commented that perhaps it’s best if BW has a rethink and comes back with a brand new plan. Let’s face it, with ratings down 60%, controversy surrounding the two leading ladies and so many backroom shuffles, the show is struggling. These things appear to be an off-set of a show which has potential but has the wrong outlook on what the people want the show to be. In short, the formula is wrong.
I want to see better action, tighter scripts, connected episodes, cool gadgets, characters who have an actual purpose..etc etc. I know that this is only the tip of the iceberg, but perhaps NBC should use the strike and the proposed ‘January re-launch’ to completely rethink (or re-imagine) the show. I know these initial 8 episodes have cost them a lot of money, but seriously, just start all over again..take as much time as you need and come back in a year or so with a show that ‘works’. I realise that this would probably mean losing most if not all of the current cast, but with ‘reports’ of cast members falling out, it might not be the end of the world.
It’s just a suggestion and it’s unlikely to happen, but I’d rather see the show start over than die a sad sad death.
