I liked La Femme Nikita (the tv series, I mean), so I should like this new version of the Bionic Woman. Maybe. I kind of wanted the sister to die in this episode to simple things up. (On the other hand, I don’t want Sarah to prove to be a cold stone killer, even though that is pretty much a given after her sniper activity in the pilot.)
Not sure what to think. It looks like there is a parade of abusive men manipulating the women (both bionic women). Could be a theme (pretty much straight out of Genesis 3 where Adam is right with Eve letting her take on the serpent to see what will happen if she eats.)
I’m actually liking Proson Break even though it almost seems like a different show now. I guess they could have Michael imprisoned in different places all over the world by various groups wanting someone extracted…. Which would be very lame. I hope the season is good because I fear the rationale of the series is fading.
Heroes seems OK, thought the flying boyfriend was too easy to write into it. I’m sticking with it.
Moonlight. Ugh. I’ll view the rest of the second show and decide what to do next. But so far it looks like it is built entirely of cliches.
Happily, I have season 5 of Angel, of which I only originally viewed four or five episodes when it was on the air. I think watching it through this year would be my best revenge on NBC.

One more in a long list of reasons to hate Fox.
I fear a bit for “Heroes.” I think they need a constrained time horizon for the series — five years, or something like that — to conclude the overall story arc. If not, I’m afraid the stories will become flabby, which they were to some extent already in the first year, as they add characters and subplots that don’t really move the overall story along.
