She's Done With Bionic

Slice of Sci-Fi picks up on various reports indicating that Katee Sackhoff won't be back on Bionic Woman. However, it's also most likely that Bionic Woman won't be back at all anyway, since the ratings have slipped so much.

Is NBC shocked that people quit watching that crap? Katee was the only draw on that show anyway. And a fine actor like Miguel Ferrer was woefully underused. It seems like that show never knew what it was, and it felt like they had too many chefs, when all they needed was one good one.

I don't know what happened with that show. I was excited about it, and tuned in to see Katee....but it turned out to be unbelievably bad. It's like they were trying to ruin it. I've spent the last few weeks hoping it would be cancelled so Katee could be freed up to do other projects.

I feel bad for Eick and that X Files producer who ended up bailing on the show. Sounds like they couldn't protect their baby pilot from the net and it got away from them.

I like the show, it fills my personal need for some sort of LA FEMME NIKITA/ALIAS type show...but it has certainly been going downhill over time. Could have been better on cable where the showrunners would be left alone to create. I mean really, can you imagine what probably would have happened to BSG if it ran on NBC or any network? Would not have gotten to Season 1.5. And Starbuck would certainly not have been a woman. I doubt the Roslin or Head Six characters would have become what we see today either.

Poor BW. And if the rumors from the Burbank Con are actually true, I'm gonna miss Sarah Corvus. Sigh.
