What I'm Watching: Bionic Woman

Bionic Woman: Season 1, Episode 6 "The List" (C+)

I am happy to say that this is the best "Bionic" installment yet. Teaming Jaime back up with her CIA beau could have been a bad idea, but they work as a good if uncommunicative team. Tom makes for a compelling character because he is efficient without being cocky or obnoxious. Some of the spy stuff is corny, like them actually getting locked in that room, but for the most part, some good action and fight scenes make up for it. This is the best usage of Jonas thus far as a surprising ally for Jaime's sister. I am continually appalled by the presence of "Battlestar Galactica" cast members. Seriously, I doubt the auditions are that long after a casting director sees the sci-fi drama on an actor's resume. Unfortunately, the role given to BSG's Leoban, a.k.a. Callum Keith Rennie, is not a particularly meaty one, but hey, someone has got to hold down the fort while Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) and the seedy lawyer (Mark Sheppard) MIA.
