Episodes
After a terrible car accident, Jaime Sommers awakens in the hospital to find that her boyfriend Will has gotten her bionic implants to replace the parts of her body that she's lost. Now part machine, Jaime is stronger and faster - advantages she will need as she comes up against Sarah Corvus, another recipient of bionic implants with malicious intentions towards Will.
Mourning for the loss of Will, Jaime decides to channel her grief by joining his organization, hoping to use her powers for good. For her first assignment, she investigates an attempt by terrorists to unleash a chemical weapon.
Tasked with the most recent assignment of protecting the daughter of a Canadian defense contractor, Jaime finds herself forced to choose between saving Sarah Corvus and saving herself.
Jaime uncovers the truth about her lifespan with her bionic implants while on assignment in Paraguay to help an American doctor.
Jaime gets to have the college experience she missed out on when she goes undercover as a British transfer student to investigate a professor who is suspected of dealing illegal implants to terrorists.
A man has been making money selling information on the identities of both Berkut and CIA operatives, so the two organizations must work together to bring him in. The mission places Jaime and Tom together in Paris, the city of love.
Jaime and Antonio are sent to foil an assassination plot that the organization learns about, but when Jaime overhears a suspicious conversation between Antonio and the killer, her objective becomes much less clear.
The death of Antonio and the trauma of acting as an assassin for the first time triggers an emotional breakdown for Jaime, causing Jonas to order her to take a vacation after she completes a mission in Montana.

Critic Reviews for Bionic Woman Season 1
All Critics (25) | Top Critics (18) | Fresh (13) | Rotten (12)
Much like Nikita and Alias' Syndey Bristow, Jamie's simultaneously a babe in peril and a woman in charge, and Michelle Ryan catches the role's film-noir shades and comic-book angles with all due verve.
[Michelle] Ryan's star-making performance makes all of this intrigue worthwhile. She brings high-voltage intensity to the role, summoning a new and furious resolve after initially wishing herself dead.
[T]he biggest problem with "Bionic Woman" is the title character -- or the main one, anyway.
This 21st-century "Bionic Woman," whose rebuilt hero is estimated at having a $50 million price tag, isn't money particularly well spent - for the heroine or the series.
If I'd liked "Alias," this might have me all excited. But I didn't, so I'm not.
Created by David Eick of "Battlestar Galactica," it's a solid piece of mainstream science fiction that has both tight action sequences and ripe villains, led by Katee Sackhoff's kickin' bionic she-devil.
The girls, though, look promising...They see each other in their dreams, they're both mad at and distrustful of the men who remade them, and they look at each other with sincere appreciation.
[S]ometimes Bionic Woman was cool. There were some fun action sequences and some clever and witty exchanges. But as a whole this was a very murky, unfocused series that never could find a consistent tone or theme.
"Bionic Woman" comes pre-sold to a certain segment of the audience, which will probably buy the show a little time to find its footing. That, along with the presence of Ryan and Sackhoff, will probably be enough to carry it for a while.
This "Bionic Woman" pilot is a downbeat drag, but buried somewhere beneath all the moping is an intriguing show that might yet emerge.
The dialogue is often flat, and some supporting characters seem clichéd. Worst of all, some of the situations just don't make much sense, even for a sci-fi show.
I'm hoping that with Eick behind the show, the series will succeed in the ratings because based on the pilot episode, there's definitely a lot of potential for this series to be great.
