The Doctor Who Easter special Planet of the Dead was on over the weekend – with Michelle Ryan (bionic woman, east enders) as the female lead.

The basic story was a cliche, Doctor gets stuck on a planet and he needs to stop the flying alien metal eating things before they come to earth story.

Michelle Ryan however was a sleek addition to the cliche , playing an art thief – turned wanna be Doctor Who companion…she even kisses the Doctor.

In the end though he doesn’t accept her as a companion, but hey we’ll see if that changes in the future….

Michelle Ryan – most famous in America as the lead in the disastrous Bionic Woman series is set to become the next Doctor Who companion.

Ryan, 24, will star with previously little-known actor Matt Smith, 26, who was announced as the 11th and youngest Time Lord earlier this month.

A great move by the BBC – certainly something that will generate some excitement in the show. And without a doubt this will be the youngest Doctor Who combo ever.

Bionic Woman 1×7 Trust Issues. Time To Quit This Show. November 15, 2007

That’s it. ShowMeSciFi.com is now officially done with Bionic Woman. This week’s episode ‘Trust Issues’ was yet another weakly plotted story that was poorly acted and directed.

It’s great that Jamie has a love interest – it’s dumb the cliched lines/scenarios they are put into. The death of Antonio in the mirror version of the plot is such a weak plot tool…it’s enough to think that this episode was written by scabs and not a member of the WGA.

The show started out with high hopes but it just hasn’t shaped up. Jamie’s use of Bionic’s isn’t properly played up with proper special fx or sounds, plots are weak and there isn’t proper overall large plot issues to make anyone want to really watch this show week to week.

Michelle Ryan is great – it’s unfortunate that the writers and the producers of this show have failed her – and her fans – so very miserably.

Adieu Bionic Woman – it was fun for a bit but now you’re just lame.

With Jamie’s new love interest..i was beginning to worry that this show would really lame out.
That wasn’t the case.

Another solid (though predictable) episode where the Bionic Woman gets her man.

What this show is lacking is a greater depth in plot and much better visual effects for her bionic strength attributes. If the producer could beef the show a bit it would be enough to put it over the top.

Finally! Michelle Ryan uses that awesome English accent!

beyond that..i’m not a fan of the love interest being CIA and the plot was borderline nonsense.

Nice to see Jaime making use of her bionic..and looks like they’ve rolled in some sound effects (minor) when she does.

5 years…..that’s it and then Michelle Ryan is toast….who’s to say that the show will last that long or not though…

Lifespan was easily the best episode yet – now we’ve got lots of overlapping plot elements which makes this a very deep and rich show from a story point of view…

That said – the new ‘Oscar’ is a MAJOR weak link in this show…he just sucks. The fact that we don’t have an entire army of evil fembots (yet) also is something i’d like to see..

overall though…good stuff. Jamie is really coming into her own…

Not bad..

Not bad at all.

The series premiere of the new Bionic Woman was a solid show. Katee Sackhoff is an awesome fembot, fearsome and maniacal and in my view – stole the show.

My favorite parts of the show both involved Sackhoff..showing her true cylon …er fembot colors.. The first was when Sackhoff shot Jamie Sommers boyfriend – the special effects of sommers bionic eye tracking the bullet and seeing the fembot…WOW awesome.

The second highlight was when Sommers met Sackhoff for a bionic woman battle – and just before they get started – Sackhoff calls for a – TIME OUT!! ha! brilliant.

Well i say TIME IN for Bionic Woman. Michelle Ryan(the former east-ender) was also solid and believable – though hey she’s no Lindsay Wagner.
