	: (...) the entire premise of the show -- that Jaime becomes a "saving the world" type -- is founded on the idea that she has no choice because her body literally does not belong to her.

			The show was not well-received. Some months after its demise, Katee Sackhoff said of it:
			: What went wrong on Bionic Woman, where she played the psychotic original bionic woman, was that there were "too many cooks" and "too many hands in the pot. You can't agree on what you're trying to make, [so] you get a stew that's full of shit." (At least that's what that last part sounded like to me.)<ref>[[Charlie Jane Anders]], [http://io9.com/373565/starbucks-true-love-is-not-who-youd-expect Interview with Katee Sackhoff], ''[[io9]]'', 2008/3/28.</ref>

(...)		: This time around, Jaime isn't an independent career jock: she's a 23-year-old bartender and college dropout who has just gotten pregnant and is about to marry her surgeon boyfriend. (...)
	: This kind of weirdly retrograde treatment of Jaime and her relationship is all the more perplexing because the show is produced by David Eick, whose other show, [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 ~~series~~)\|Battlestar Galactica]], is known for its strong female characters. Indeed, when Eick talked about Bionic Woman before the show debuted, he claimed it would focus on how we feel about women's roles now that we know women can do anything men can. Jaime is hardly the kind of woman to tell that sexual equality story. She's in a low-status, low-paying job, looking down the barrel of her future as little more than a rich man's wife.		: This kind of weirdly retrograde treatment of Jaime and her relationship is all the more perplexing because the show is produced by David Eick, whose other show, [[Battlestar Galactica (2004)\|Battlestar Galactica]], is known for its strong female characters.
