NBC's new "Bionic Woman" - She becomes Bionic after a Skydiving Accident. Sigh

Recommended Posts

From PopBitch today: http://www.popbitch.com

Eastenders' Michelle Ryan scores the lead role in the re-make of the Bionic Woman. The show is much praised and secures a prime-time run on NBC.

In the show Michelle is a super-fit tennis pro, who gets a $50 million bionic body after a skydiving accident which gives her super-strength.

Executives from other networks and at least one top casting agent have been heard gossiping this week about Michelle's "massive weight problem". Because, of course, a sportswoman should look just like Nicole Richie. Women just can't win in LA.

Bad news kids....
In this version, she got hurt in a car accident!

http://www.nbc.com/Fall_Preview/Bionic_Woman/

"Struggling as a bartender and surrogate mom to her teen-aged sister, Jaime Sommers didn't think life could get much harder. But when a devastating car accident leaves her at death's door, Jaime's only hope of survival is through a cutting-edge, top-secret technology that comes at a hefty price.

With a whole new existence and a debt to repay, Jaime must figure out how to use her extraordinary abilities for good, while weighing the personal sacrifices she will have to make. Ultimately, it's Jaime's journey of self-discovery and inner strength that will help her embrace her new life as...The Bionic Woman."

That clip is very realistic.

It is a two way with video. Here is how the bottom end goes:

1. She points at her altimeter, letting Steve Austin know they are low.

2. They fly together for one more point rather than tracking off.

3. They pull without tracking and hose the camera guy.

isn't that what happened to the orginal Bionic Woman too?



Yep.

Don't sigh folks. They're keeping true to the original series. I wonder if she'll have "Max" her bionic dog... :P
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

the altimiter showed like 8,000 ft. I guess that's low in wuffo eyes.



According to Pat Works skydivers in that era (in his group) would deploy around 1,000' "unless they were close". They'd go for another point if they were, -then- deploy. :o
