Mild Spoilers from Pre-aired Pilot
The other day I wrote a piece on the Burket Group - the shadowy pseudo-Government group who apparenly ‘own’ Bionic Woman, Jaime Sommers. However there’s also another group who might make an appearance in the show – enter the ‘Sykes Group’. Not much is known on them either, but we do know this: they were Sarah Corvus’ previous employers before Jonas Bledsoe convinced her to join his Burket Group instead. According to Corvus’ profile over at NBC.com, the ‘SG’ were a “private military and security firm”. The question I’m now asking is whether Corvus once again works for the Sykes Group – after vengefully massacuring the BG, did she return to the SG? (put that together and you almost get ‘BSG’..David Eick you clever man!;))..or does she really work alone? Afterall, she is ’supposed’ to be dead..
Perhaps the show itself will lend some more info over time? As a ‘LOST’ fan I know the excitement and intrigue that can be drawn from rival groups acting as the string-pulling pupeteers, battling it out for some unknown goal which usually something to do with their respective views on saving the world. Anyway, you’ll also find a top-secret paper on Corvus – if you’re willing to click around the ‘hidden’ buttons on NBC’s Bionic Site..but if you’re not, i’ve capped a copy for your viewing pleasure:
What does all this mean – i’ll tell you what it means, it means that Sarah Corvus is kickass and you don’t want to mess with her! As if we didn’t already know ;)
By the way, why the ‘Sykes’ Group? and why name the Burket Group, the ‘Burket’ Group? Surely these aren’t random names plucked from the NBC sky? If anyone finds any relavence in those names i’d be glad to know (You can tell i’m also LOST fan)!
Next up, i’ve got some more insight into Jonas Bledsoe and his apparent motives..
