The Bionic Woman (TV Series) The Bionic Dog (1977) User Reviews

Good thought-provoking story.

[prdeller · 9/10 · 3 July 2021]

A much better episode than I was expecting. Raises questions to to both the audience and Jaime herself about the ethics of animal research testing and makes Jaime question her future when her life now depends on bionics that may well eventually kill her as well as face up to the truth that neither she nor Steve Austin would be alive without Max. Great acting from Lindsay Wagner as always as she bonds instantly with Max, perhaps recognising in him the same one of a kind uniqueness that she feels about herself. Second episode falls away a little bit and largely relies on action sequences rather than plot but overall a good and important part of the overall series story arc. Definitely worth watching.

Jaime discovers that she and Steve are not the only ones that are bionic!

For a season three opener I thought this was a great two-part story!

Lindsay Wagner is on fine form as ever and the story has something for everyone. Nice to see the season three theme slightly revamped and the incidental music pacey; I particularly enjoyed the musical contributions from Robert Prince with his 'Friends' song.

Also lovely to see supporting cast featured as well as the introduction of a bionic dog!

Some great action sequences and clever stunts and it's a credit to all concerned for making something that could have looked not so good to a first class piece of television, mixing science fiction with an everyday situation.
