• 'Bionic Woman': Identity crisis

  Well, there you have it folks, the last Bionic Woman for quite some time. Tonight's episode was the last produced before the writers' strike ...

• Bullet time on 'Bionic Woman'

  Note to Bionic Woman: I know I've been harsh on your show, and I know that you've gone through a dozen or so show-runners to...

• Bathing in mediocrity on 'Bionic Woman'

  Bionic Woman has so far suffered identity crisis after identity crisis, going through tonal shifts the way Lindsey Lohan goes through her mom's liquor cabinet. It's hard-core sci-fi! It's a wink-wink genre! It's a family drama! It's a feminist take on the modern woman! It's really freakin' terrible! It's kinda sorta OK! And after all these twists and turns, the show seems to have landed on its feet: as a retread of Alias.

• 'Bionic Woman': Getting schooled

  Well, it didn't take Bionic Woman long to bust out the British accent, did it? Only took five episodes for them to finally let Michelle Ryan talk in her native accent.

• 'Bionic Woman': The policy of truthiness

  Well, here's the silver lining of tonight's episode: at least no one shouted, "You can't handle the truth!"

• 'Bionic Woman': Sisterhood of the traveling bionics

  I think I've been a bit too hard on Bionic Woman. It's not that this week's episode made me think, "By Jove, I've been looking at this show completely incorrectly! This is genius on par with 'Hamlet', 'Metamorphosis', and the later film work of Corbin Bernsen!" But I do think I brought a Battlestar Galactica mentality to this show, which wasn't quite fair. Had a Battlestar producer, had some Battlestar actors, and even had the Battlestar modern remake in its favor.
