    Recycled Batman Story - Dumb Episode

    This episode's plot is a rip off of the final episode of the 60's series Batman. Even Lindsey Wagner's sympathetic acting can't redeem this one. Also, what government agent meets a spy in the middle of a football field - completely exposed no matter how empty the stadium is or how early in the morning it is?!?!

    Bionic Brain Wash

    First, I'll say right off that I strongly dislike TV episodes where the star of the show gets drugged or brainwashed. It doesn't matter what the show is I don't like it. And then when you add to it a strong soap opera vibe, which is another thing I don't like, you have an episode that is working hard for me to dislike it. So I grew irritated and impatient with this episode as it went along. Just not my cup of tea.

    Oh, I almost forget, another thing I don't like is the Bionic Woman wearing a top with a plunging neckline. Lindsay was flat-chested and flat-chested women should never wear plunging necklines. It's a fashion no-no. It just looks horrible. It's like a man with super-skinny arms wearing a tank top. Ugh. Don't show off what you don't have. It just makes it worse. There, that's my fashion tip for the day!

      Jaime is getting her hair shampooed; from the front, her hair looks barely wet, even dry in certain frames, but every time they cut to the shot from the back, the person's hair has very sudsy white shampoo covering her head, including her entire hairline.

      Jaime Sommers: [about the hairdressing salon] Ya'll have a very busy place here.

      John Bernard: Yeah, well, it's getting there. Someday I'd like to have every congress woman, senator's wife and even the first lady come in here.

      Jaime Sommers: You're also very ambitious.
