Bionic Woman Quicklinks for November 14, 2007
The Los Angeles Times suggests the Bionic Woman writers use their time on the picket lines to rethink some of the more annoying aspects of the show, and come back with more action and less Becca.
Berkut Group prez and actor Miguel Ferrar was all over the gossip blogs this weekend, after his cousin George Clooney mentioned him in an upcoming W magazine interview. George revealed that Miguel was the man who taught him about prostitutes, but the story is not quite as scandalous as it sounds. Apparently the two were driving around L.A. in a Porsche shortly after young George came to town … "We pulled up at the stoplight, and all of these girls came over, and they were like, ‘Hey, do you want to party?’ I looked at Miguel and I said, ‘Chicks love me, man! I’m on fire here!’" Miguel is also the source of a recent OK! magazine story reiterating Clooney’s vow to never marry again.
Someone else to add to the list of people who think that casting Isaiah Washington was a mistake: Steve McPherson, the head of ABC, was recently quoted in the New York Times as saying network exec Ben Silverman was “clueless or stupid” in the way he negotiated to bring IW to BW.
A lot of bloggers have been laughing about the iPhone scene in The List, as it seems guest star Callum Keith Rennie was holding the phone upside down for at least half of the scene where he is threatening to kill Tom while negotiating the price of his life with Jaime. Some of them wonder if the error was on purpose, given NBC’s well-documented dispute with Apple.
Michelle Ryan has gotten some press recently for expressing a desire to break into movies, which she may be able to do sooner rather than later depending on what happens with the strike.

I could not get access to that LA Times article, but I agree with it wholeheartedly if your summary is accurate; MORE ACTION! We need to cut down big time on the romantic and familial love angles, and focus much more on JAMIE SOMMERS KICKING ASS!! That felt good to get off my chest. We need to see Jamie “showing off” her bionics a little, show some attitude, intimidate some men, we need some real GIRL POWER, and we need it now to salvage this show!
