    Katee Sackhoff, who plays Starbuck in SCI FI Channel's original series Battlestar Galactica, will guest-star in The Bionic Woman, the SF NBC pilot from Battlestar executive producer David Eick, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

    Sackhoff will appear in the pilot for the series, a reimagining of the 1970s show, which again centers on Jamie Sommers (Michelle Ryan), a woman who is turned into a walking technological miracle after a car crash.

    Sackhoff will play Sarah, an evil bionic woman and nemesis to Sommers. The casting comes on the heels of the recent apparent demise of Starbuck on Battlestar.

    Seems as if the Bionic Woman has been greenlighted and given a full run for the upcoming season on NBC. I would have selected to put the show on SCI-FI or USA for the rating requirements are just unattainable for nearly all science fiction shows on NBC (Heroes being the current exception).

    The Bionic Woman sure does have a nice Hollywood pedigree with David Eick (Battlestar) and Glen Morgan (Space: Above and Beyond, …).

    A person has provided a review and a synopsis of the pilot episode of the new Bionic Woman (spoilers)

    Few pages of images of Michelle Ryan. Some are ultra high resolution. While not a hard body she is fit and stacked. Nice face, eyes, and hair as well…

    Man, I really have my doubts on this project… but hopefully they'll be able to pull it off.

    It could be a neat show but my gut feeling is that it will not.

    A problem that I never overcame with the original is that the Bionic Woman only had two bionic legs and an arm which should preclude many of the feats of strength seen, such as lifting a car using the bionic arm. Katie Sackhoff's character seemingly has bionics throughout her body which should provide the structural system needed to pick up a car.

    Also if the nanites could beautifully repair, the new bionic woman,  Michelle Ryan's face after it was cut to the bone then why install the bionics (macro mechanical robotic parts) as they are seemingly superfluous.

    Eh, it is a TV show and Michelle Ryan is a babe…

    The Bionic Woman is  to be broadcast on Wednesday nights in the 9pm slot, NBC announced. That is going to be a hard time slot.

    David Eick, Glen Morgan, Jason Smilovic, Michael Dinner and the lot are going to have a hard time with that time slot.
