I like that they tried to go sci-fi in this episode, but overall it's kind of weak and low-budget and slow. It doesn't have much sizzle and pop. Seems like they barely had any money to work with when making this episode.
They throw in some romance for Jamie, but I don't want some guy putting his grubby hands on the Bionic Woman. I guess she's entitled to fall in love like any other woman and her heart is not bionic so maybe I shouldn't be annoyed, but I am. When they throw her into a romance it just cheapens the whole series. In this episode especially it feels totally out of place. And this is yet another episode where they make her look too weak. She's the Bionic Woman! She don't need no man to carry her!
ODD MOMENT: The Bionic Woman is standing next to a chain link fence and when a guy cuts the fence it swings swiftly toward her and comes within a few inches of hitting her in the face! This was not supposed to happen. And it was not a stunt woman it was Lindsay Wagner. That could have been a disaster.
RANDOM THOUGHT: I hate it when the Bionic Woman's boss calls her "babe". She ain't no baby! She's the Bionic Woman! Show some respect!
Overall, I liked that it was Sci-Fi (sort of), but it doesn't have enough good things, and a few too many bad things, to give it a high rating. And it brings to mind that the series as a whole was given 2nd rate treatment. It needed more money, better scripts, better stories, better sets, etc. That's probably why the ratings waned and the show was cancelled. And that's too bad.
