Memorable albeit lacklustre episode features Jamie infiltrating the palace of an Arabian Shah (Loggia) whose underlings are conspiring to assassinate the unsuspecting ruler.
As well as the aforementioned belly dance (which presumably employs a body double), we have Jamie awkwardly fencing a palace guard before doing her bit for the women's lib and modernising the palace's misogynistic customs bringing the age of female subservience to an end (except for polygamy which Loggia refuses to abandon). Way to go girl.
It looks at times like the grinning Loggia is trying hard to withstand breaking character, whilst the youthful prince Lance Kerwin doesn't quite get to fulfil his 'older woman' desires as manhood approaches, despite his father's obvious enthusiasm for 'harem perks'.
Overall it's a bit underwhelming, lacking in tension, and there's not much for the 'bionic' talents to do against these inept villains. If it weren't for the bare midriff and belly-dancing antics, there'd be precious little to recommend.
