My Over-All Thoughts:
Now over all what do I think of the Bionic Woman remake? When all is said and done I enjoyed it very much and glad I have it in my collection. I just wish it was never canceled. And to this day I blame the writer's strike for it being canceled. How would I compare this Bionic Woman to the original? I absolutely loved the original... the stories were great and the effects while lower tech then they are now were still fun to watch.On this remake I enjoyed most the stories. The effects in the remake are more awe inspiring then they were fun. Of course that is not a bad thing. Just different. I do like Jaime's home life in the remake a little better... as I like the addition of the younger sister that Jaime must raise while dealing with her new life. I think in the case of The Bionic Woman I don't prefer one over the other. I believe I enjoyed both equally... but for different reasons.

The quality of this set is as good as to be expected being a new series. Extras wise... while not what I would call loaded there is a respectable amount. On disc one we get a commentary track on the pilot with Executive Producer David Eick. On the second disc w get some featurettes. We get The Making of the Car Crash, The Stunts, Real Life Bionics. Then we get documentary style profiles on the Characters as we get the actors/actresses talking to you about their character on the show. Some interesting stuff but nothing overly impressive.

So in my opinion this is a good set for a really enjoyable series that ended well before it's time. Once again... I believe that is thanks to the writer's strike.
