Trivia:

At least 3 versions of the pilot episode were produced. The first version had Mae Whitman cast as Jaime's deaf sister, a character that sparked criticism from hearing-impaired rights groups when it was learned the actress wasn't deaf in real life. This version of the pilot was one of several widely circulated on the Internet during the summer of 2007; at the 2007 San Diego Comic Con, an edited-down, half-hour version of this pilot was shown to audience members as a preview of the new series. For broadcast, however, several scenes were filmed, and the cast changed with a new actress playing Jaime's sister, and the hearing-impaired subplot being eliminated.

The most boring protagonist ever

This show has flash gordon to compete with which is a shame as flash gordon has a good protagonist and no budget and this show has a nice budget but a pathetic protagonist. A clumsy woman that doesn't even want her powers? Im really not feeling this new wave of remakes that overfocus on drama to try to humanise the protagonist and give the plots feasibility. Its a shame too as there's a nice chunk of actors in this show, some you'll recognise from movies and starbuck from the new galactica as a baddie. If you really do not have anything else to watch then give this a shot but expect to want to kill the bionic woman yourself as shes such a miserable character.
