This is only a personal opinion of course... based on the pre air DVD release.
There are going to be some minor changes in the actual broadcasted version, but not much.
I can say, this show is cheesy as hell. But, look at Reaper or Chuck. Such a dumb and cheesy plot... yet something still makes it entertaining. Oh yes. The fact that those shows don't take themselves seriously, whereas Bionic Woman tries to be the next Lost or Heroes, or, since there are BSG producers working on the show: the next BSG.
It fails so much, it's ridicilious. The acting is sub par. Michelle Ryan can't even deny she used to be a soap opera actress.
Considering this is a show about a woman who turned into a robot, and has all sorts of special abilities, the CGI is poor as hell, which, is funny, considering this was one expensive pilot. The fights are plain bad also, feels like a high school performance.
Plot-wise, it's really not worth wasting time describing it. The opening with Katee Sackoff's character was spectacular, but from there on, it all went downhill. The most pathetic scene had to be either the first few moments after the operation, or the scene where Jamie is running faster than a car.
The dialouge is so painful, you might want to wear earplugs. On the upside: this is a real good snoozer!
