Bionic Problems
"Cane" producer Jason Cahill has stepped over to NBC's "Bionic Woman" as the showrunner replacing "Friday Night Lights" exec Jason Katims who took over from original producers Glen Morgan and Michael Dinner who left the series in the summer. Meanwhile, as the re-imagined sci-fi drama loses its Nilesen luster, some fans would argue that Katee Sackhoff is stealing all thunder right under bland star Michelle Ryan's nose.
There was an attempt to make the series, originally conceived as dark and brooding, fun and sexy instead. But the drama has encountered creative problems and they appear to have reflected upon the ratings. Last week's episode averaged only 8.5 million viewers, 37% below its promising debut. Can NBC salvage what appeared to be their only freshman hit?

Katee Sackhoff is definitely the most compelling star on the show, but Michelle Ryan isn't half-bad. This week's ep didn't have Sackhoff's character in it, and it was still a pretty good show.
But I agree with the critics who end up saying that the show would be more compelling if it focused entirely on the story behind Sarah Corvus.
Here's my review of last night's show:
