Bionic Commentary: A Bionic Woman Fan Asks Some Questions
Regarding the fight scenes on Bionic Woman, Chris asks:
When is this stupid hand-held camera fad going to end? It was moving around so much that it was hard to tell what the hell was happening. The back of a chair can stop high-velocity bullets? Jaime stubs her toe jumping a fence but emerges unscathed after crashing though a window and falling three stories? More judo lessons in the Batcave with Jae? When she’s fighting during training, she never uses her super speed, and ends up losing. If she used her speed when fighting, the opponent would be dead before they hit the ground. All she does is kick people every week. This is The Bionic Woman, not Hong Kong Phooey. I also love the way she hits a guy with her “bionic” arm and he gets up and continues to fight.
All valid points. Thoughts?

That has been the most disappointing aspect of the show to me, so far. I do not watch BW to see martial arts, I want to see a bionic woman bend bars, leap high buildings, run fast, crash cars, not hit other people with her bionic body, and potentially kill them. They should focus on the former stuff, and I believe I would say this even if the fight scenes were halfway decent.
