This is another example of OSI wasting the Bionic Woman on routine cases that a normal agent could do. All they needed was an agent (male or female, no bionics required) with computer hacking knowledge to go undercover at the campus. Problem solved. But instead they send the Bionic Woman, wasting millions of tax payer dollars.

This episode is a little too clunky and simplistic and unsophisticated, but it's still kinda fun to watch for nostalgic reasons. You get to hear people say "turkey" and "boogie" and "I can dig it", and that's always fun. People just talked much cooler in the 70's than any other decade.

I thought the best part of the episode was the ending which I won't give away. That was a nice surprise and fun to see.

One of the best episodes of Series 3

I think it's fair to say that Series 3 of The Bionic Woman was patchy. But I thought this was one of the best episodes of the series. OK, it's not heavy on action, but it has a coherent plot and raises some important moral issues and questions. Is stealing to use it for good actually acceptable ? Why - even today - is it so hard for poorer people to get access to higher education ? I don't know if this was one of the first TV shows to highlight it to if someone else got there first, but showing the world the future perils of cyber crime in a computerised world was years ahead of it's time and still rings true today. Possibly even more so today. Only thing that lets this episode down for me is the overuse of seventies slang which now sounds excruciatingly dated. Did people really use to talk like that in the seventies ? Mind you, they will probably saying the same about us in thirty years time. Good episode.
