As rumors swirl that Michelle Ryan may be the latest apple of Owen Wilson‘s eye, her freshman show Bionic Woman remains in limbo thanks to plummeting ratings and the ongoing writers‘ strike.  Despite its uncertain future however, one of the show‘s mainstays claims she is prepared to stick it out in case the series does manage to hang on for dear life.

The edgier, if not darker, remake of Bionic Woman may wind up yet another casualty of the ongoing writers‘ strike.  If the standoff between the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers isn‘t resolved expeditiously, there may not be enough material to take the freshman series past January 2008.

Bionic Woman “Sisterhood” premieres tonight, theme heavy title and all.  The episode seems to really portray a multi-layered approach to the character treatment, morphing the concept of sisterhood across the lines of biology and into the congruous area of captive similarity that exists between Jamie Sommers (

Bionic Woman‘s pilot was a landmark for NBC‘s opening week, but will the second episode live up? The second episode opens with Jamie (Michelle Ryan) at Will‘s funeral. There seems to be continuity flaw after continuity flaw here. Didn‘t Jamie give a speech on doing "this, whatever this is," but on her terms?
