Must-see TV, bionically

Here’s my Heroes tip of this season: Watch The Bionic Woman. It is superb.

The series is brought to us by the same folks that brought us the update/remake of Battlestar Galactica, which is also pretty damned good. The producers really have a great way of writing strong women characters, and oof—I really like the new Jamie Summers. Plus, she has a doppelganger, played by Katee Sackhoff, Starbuck from BG.

It’s a great match for Heroes fans. And like Battlestar Galactica, there’s obviously a past that we’re going to be filled in on as the season goes along.

And for those of you trying to figure out who the actor is who plays Will’s father, he played Badger in Firefly. (That was driving me nuts until I IMDB’d him.)

If you missed the pilot, it’s on Sci-Fi network sometime, and probably online as well. Really. Watch this one. It was great.
