Bionic Woman (TV Series) Faceoff (2007) User Reviews

Face Off is a pretty good episode of "Bionic Woman"

[tavm · 7/10 · 18 October 2007]

Jamie goes with Antonio to Paraguay to find this doctor. When there, Antonio has themselves arrested which results in them meeting the man. Because he knows something he's not suppose to, Antonio tries to have him killed but Jamie stops him as she takes a bullet. This doctor later treats Jamie and tells her she may die soon. Meanwhile, Sarah, held back in a chair, takes a psychological test under Ruth which leads nowhere. She manages to break free as she nearly chokes her ex-boyfriend. After Becca finds out older sister Jamie lied about going "away" with a friend, Jamie tells her she can't say where she's going but she'll always look after her. I'll stop there and say while this episode wasn't as exciting as the one before, at least nothing seemed out-of-place either. Michelle Ryan seems to grow into her role and Katee Sackhoff is excellent as usual. Will review again next week...

Improvement

Finally! An overall improvement of the new "Bionic Woman"! In this episode the age/desires conflict between the 2 sisters deepens: while Jaime is interested in saving an American doctor/secret agent/spy caught by terrorists in Paraguay, her sister, Becca seems to have a more egocentric behavior: she's a teenager. Also, in this episode Sarah is caught by Jonas's boys, but she manages to get away after taking Jae hostage. Ruth does some psychological tests on Sarah (not relevant for the story, nor for Sarah's illness), Antonio gets a hell of a beating from Jaime, and Jonas lies,lies,lies: Jaime has only 5 years to live; after that the bionics just stop working! He promises to help Jaime, but we'll see if he keeps his word. The episode ends with the single poorly acted scene (except of course the fight scene between Jaime and Antonio) between the 2 sisters (secrets, promises, trust, the same emotional stuff, just badly done! Those 2 should really take some acting classes!). That's all for now! Really glad the show improved!
