Bionic Woman was one of my favorite shows when I was a child (I was born in 1982, so I only got to watch in re-runs). I went with my sister and a friend to a "Comic Con" convention in Chicago last year and Lindsay Wagner and Richard Anderson (Oscar Goldman) were both there. By chance I happened to catch her at the right moment in a temporary lull in people and she looked up, smiled and waved at me... made my day! Then walking by I saw Richard Anderson... nobody was talking to him and he was reading something. I didn't want to bother him, but as I walked by, he looked up, smiled and waved too! I'm kicking myself for not at least just saying "hello" because the opportunity will probably never present itself again, but it caught me by surprise and I didn't know what to say really. He looks great at 84, pretty much like he always did.
Lindsay Wagner and Lee Majors both talked about the dark and more violent tone of the remake series... I somewhat agree and was disappointed since I was looking forward to it. You can't produce a show with the same tone as those done in the 70's since it just wouldn't survive (or even be sold to any networks in the first place), but the show had little direction, seemed poorly cast and just could not compete stylistically with other shows that had similarly dark tones. A wasted opportunity...
Back on topic, I agree with those who are disappointed in the album title. But names/titles don't really matter so much to me... I'm just looking forward to hearing the music! :D
