I don't usually like the villain best, so this'll take some getting used to

First thing: I hate you NBC.com. Watching shows on you is so difficult. With Bionic Woman, the show is practically muted, so I have to turn the volume all the way up on my computer, and then it gets monstrously loud when the stupid ad comes on. Second most frustrating thing ever. Most frustrating thing ever is how the episode kept freezing.

Okay, so Bionic Woman. I'm up in the air about it at the moment. I'm sort of confused, actually. I don't know what's going on. All I know is, I'm going to keep watching it whether I like it or not, based on these two things:
1. Katee Sackhoff
2. The bionic women are named Jamie and Sarah.

I don't really get why Jamie was crying all over herself and flipping out over the bionic stuff. I mean, I guess the initial shock would be pretty bad - but after that? Why would she be upset that she has new limbs and stuff that look the same as they did before? She looks fine! Chill out lady! Why are you crying in the bathtub? You're basically a superhero now. And I really, really rolled my eyes when she was standing on the roof, and then she jumped over it or whatever. EXACTLY like Spiderman. It was the same scene.

The biggest thing I'm confused about - is the boyfriend dead? Because at the beginning of the episode, I thought he was going to bite it really early on - you know, like in Alias. But then he didn't, he was the scientist guy who fixed her up. But then at the end, Starbuck shoots him in the chest. So is he still alive, or...? I think so, because when they finally took him in an ambulance, they turned the siren on. It's just that no one really seemed all that concerned about him. Not even Jamie. Who he had just slept with in a random and unnecessary sex scene. I feel like I missed a lot thanks to NBC.com's crappy video player. Whatever though.

Katee Sackhoff, I love you. I hate that you get all these cheesy lines. "Time out!" Please. I hope that stuff doesn't keep up... because you are better than that. And seriously, what is up with that Jamie girl asking "what do you want from me?" when she found you on the roof? Don't you think it would make a lot more sense for her to have asked you, "why'd you shoot my boyfriend?" She showed almost no emotion whatsoever. Didn't really make sense. But, ok. And you seem kind of messed up emotionally. "Tell me you love me," you keep saying. I'm sure it's supposed to be sad but all I can think of whenever you say that is this video.

Chief Tyrol?!

I also noticed Baltar's lawyer is the boyfriend's dad, who was in prison. I also noticed that you couldn't really see how short that guy is. He is really short. He's in a few episodes of Firefly and he is just tiny. They didn't really let you know that when he was on Battlestar Galactica, and they don't let you see it here either. But I just think it's funny. Because seriously, he is short.

I CAN'T STAND Jamie's sister. She is such a brat. I don't like her at all. Am I supposed to like her? I don't know. Get back to me on that, writers. If I'm not supposed to like her then you're doing a great job.

I really have no idea what was going on in this episode. The more I think about it the more irritated I get, because it's due to the fact that the player kept freezing and I kept having to restart it and find my place again and I wasn't able to pay as much attention to it. All I really know for sure is that Katee Sackhoff is swell. So I'm going to keep watching, and hope that it gets somewhat better in terms of writing (and that NBC.com improves their idiot video player).
