Ryan Reveals NBC In For The Long Haul

I don’t want to jump the gun here, but it looks as if Bionic Woman isn’t going anywhere anytime soon! In a recent interview with the LA.com, Michelle Ryan reveals that NBC “will be giving the series a big second launch in January”.

Now, I’m not sure exactly what that means -  does it infer a second season? a re-launch? - but it sounds promising!

Ryan has also revealed that new love interest ‘Tom’, played by Jordan Bridges, will be around for “at least three episodes”. She goes on to add that Jaime and Tom have  ”a nice chemistry. I think it will be a good addition to the show.”

If Ryan’s words are anything to go by then this is just what the show needed - the network to place faith in it’s potential. BW has been a mixed bag so far, but I think most people will agree that if they can just get it right it will be one awesome show! I await more news as to what this “big second launch” entails!

I hope this is true because I would love to see this show reach its potential!

And I loved Jordan Bridges as Tom … such a massive improvement over Chris Bowers!

This is good to hear! I would hope that the second launch means that they’ve locked down how they want the series to be and where they want it to go, and hopefully it means NBC will be giving it a bigger push (and possibly a new timeslot after Heroes, maybe?).
Like most fans I’ve enjoyed the show so far, but it’s yet to truly fulfil its potential so hopefully this second launch will help the show become the excellent production it deserves to be.

‘I would hope that the second launch means that they’ve locked down how they want the series to be and where they want it to go’

Exactly the show at the moment has no real direction. Too many cooks spoil the broth. It doesn’t help that there has been so many behind the scenes changes. For the show to really work, they need to improve the writing and work on Jaime’s character.

I like the show but i am not really warming to Jaime. It’s never a good sign when a supporting character (Corvus) is more interesting than the lead.

The series really doesn’t need a big re-launch in January. Improve the scripts and plots; then viewers will come back.

I agree guys - the show does need direction and a steady hand to guide it - hopefully new showrunner Cahill is that man. I also agree that the show should move to Mondays after Heroes. I have to say that I do like Jaime, but I can understand why some haven’t warmed to her - I think NBC are listening to peoples concerns however, as they have started to make her show more emotion. As for this ’second launch’ business It’s still not clear on exactly what it means..taking what you guys have said, could it mean that they will give BW a ‘full’ 20+ episode season with the adjustments being applied to the remaining 10?
Margie: I too like Tom..he’s alot more interesting than Will when he was alive (although he’s become facinating since his ‘death’).

I love MR and therefore am willing to cut Jaime a lot of slack. Jaime isn’t the problem with the show. The problem IMO, is that this show has 1/2 the IQ of “Alias”. The sooner that issue is resolved, the more popular Jaime will become.

Michelle is like a jockey trying to race a horse with a broken leg. Give her a horse that can run and she’ll have a shot at winning.

I have to agree - the show dumbs down too much. At times I feel like my intelligence is being belittled. I think that they do need to trust the viewers more and to do that they need to have faith in what they are delivering.
