Over the past few months us TV viewers have been given two shows that feature strong female characters. Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Bionic Woman. Now both have the potential to be really something but what lets Bionic Woman down can be summed up with two words Special effects. Ever since the late and much respected Christopher Reeve brought us Superman the general TV watching and theatre going public have been treated to what should be seen when a film is portraying and person with superhuman abilities. The scene when Superman has Lois Lane in one hand and a helicopter in the other is a classic. So us viewers know when we are being fobbed off. This is where Bionic Woman lets itself down. first they give us another bionic woman so when she and our Jaime have a fight there's few special effects and then when Jaime fights an ordinary mortal blows that should knock the mortal out still has them on their feet seemingly giving as good as they get! Whereas with terminator you see in the first instance that super strong androids are fighting. Producers must realise that when you embark on a TV show that features enhanced human beings you cannot skimp on the special effects budget.
