One More Time, Maybe

Did you see the first episode of the new Bionic Woman tonight? I had to watch. The plot was even more unbelievable than the original series, which was no surprise. The characters were OK but not terribly appealing. The special effects were better than in the 1976 series, but I didn’t hear that sound when the bionics kicked in.

I might watch one more time. Maybe.

But Life, the show that follows Bionic Woman, is very cool. It has an unbelievable premise too but the characters are incredibly appealing. It’s a drama but there are funny moments. Every other scene has another surprise. Twists and turns in plot lines and characterizations. Unpredictable. I definitely will watch this one some more.



And a cool technological side note for Boomers … the main character has been in jail since 1995, so a few of today’s commonplace items are new to him. He had to ask what an “IM” is. He didn’t realize that the ringing sound was the cell phone in his pocket. He was surprised to learn that a cell phone can take pictures. And he was amazed by Google.
