Trivia:

Michelle Ryan puts on an American accent for her role as Jaime Sommers. In Episode 5, "The Education of Jaime Sommers", however, she speaks in her natural English accent, a fact to which subtle references are made throughout the episode. When Jonas (Miguel Ferrer) tells Jaime she is to pose as an exchange student from Oxford, he asks her "How's your British accent?". When Nathan ('Kevin Rankin') is talking to Jaime over the radio and asks her why, when they are the only ones there, she is still speaking in a British accent, Jaime replies "Because I'm a method actor".

AS bad as it can get!

I was a fan of the ORIGINAL Bionic Woman and Six Million Dollar Man, but this series is severely lacking. The actress is nice enough but the character is way too naive. On top of that they have her performing bionic jumps and 40+ MPH run in MID to HIGH HEELS? Give me a break.

Come on folks - pay attention to the details!

This series needs drastic changes if they want a second season, character needs to get smarter, attention to details needs to happen - especially where bionic moves are occurring. She also needs a supporting character she can trust and depend on during her missions. The current organization she works for is apparently composed of spies and double spies as no one seems to trust one another. In any hostile environment, you need someone to watch your back - someone you trust 150% of the time. Don't get me started on her younger sister.

Unless things change - series will tank.
