Upcoming "Bionic Woman" tidbit

David Eick (one of BSG producers) is going to be heading up a "revival" ("reimagination") of the old "Bionic Woman" series. One specific detail that came out recently (see appended article) is that Katie Sackoff (Starbuck from BSG) will play an evil bionic woman in the pilot.

I do wonder why, when you have a technological marvel, there is always an evil analog. Back in the 70s/80s, you could attribute it to the Soviet Union doing parallel secret research in the same area. I think there was even an episode or two of "Six Million Dollar Man" about this. This time around, I wonder how they'll explain the existence of an evil bionic woman. The Chinese? Aliens? Secret branch of US Government?

Sackhoff Guests On Bionic Woman

Katee Sackhoff, who plays Starbuck in SCI FI Channel's original series
Battlestar Galactica, will guest-star in The Bionic Woman, the SF NBC
pilot from Battlestar executive producer David Eick, according to The
Hollywood Reporter.

Sackhoff will appear in the pilot for the series, a reimagining of the
1970s show, which again centers on Jamie Sommers (Michelle Ryan), a
woman who is turned into a walking technological miracle after a car
crash.

Sackhoff will play Sarah, an evil bionic woman and nemesis to Sommers.
The casting comes on the heels of the recent apparent demise of
Starbuck on Battlestar.
