Jaime Sommers is Dying, Did Will Anthros Murder Her Twice?

In last week’s episode we learned that Jaime has five years to live, and this dramatic revelation changes the way Jaime views herself … and the way that the audience views Jaime.

When the pilot first aired a lot of commentators painted Jaime as ungrateful and whining, a girl who got a second chance and did not seem to grasp how lucky she is.

But now we know more. Now we know that Will Anthros was probably never in love with Jaime, in fact he had been studying her for at least two years before they met as a possible candidate for his bionic implants. Now we know his decision to rush her into surgery after their car crash was not the instantaneous move of a man desperate to keep the woman he loves, it was a surgery that had been pre-planned in his mind and the car crash simply moved up the time line.

This changes everything. Jaime is no longer an ungrateful girl who got a second chance, she is now a young woman who was targeted by a corrupt scientist who studied her, seduced her, and then implanted her with his technology … not out of love but as part of a larger scheme we do not yet understand. Jaime’s involvement with Will got her killed once, she was resurrected for his purposes and profit, and now she is slowly and painfully dying once again. The clock is ticking for Jaime, and her bionic implants are not a second chance but a time bomb.

Assuming someone does not steal her, reprogram her, kidnap her for experimentation purposes or kill her somehow before her bionics can. Will did not simply implant his technology into Jaime, he implanted it and then apparently sold it to at least one terrorist group if not more. Jaime is now a moving target, whose every specification is in the possession of unnamed shadow organizations.

This is a horrific prospect, especially now that we know Jaime can be hacked. The first scene of the series was the horrific bloodbath of death that followed Sarah Corvus’ system being taken over by someone for reasons unknown, that loss of control hangs over every scene with Sarah Corvus and is what drove her beyond the realms of sanity.

Now that Jaime’s specs have been sold and are in the hands of terrorist groups, or only slightly more reassuringly the CIA, she is vulnerable to the same hacks that Sarah endured. We do not know who Will was working with, or why he did what he did to Jaime … but one thing seems certain, dark days are ahead for the Bionic Woman.

    Excellent piece Margie. I think people are gradually beginning to warm to Jaime, and you encapsulated it well - Will Anthros didn’t save her because her loved her..it was all about protecting his investment and that is such a powerful thing. I wish they would actually show Jaime reflecting on this more!

    [...] Ryan as Jaime Sommers and Jordan Bridges as Tom.  These two are smokin’ hot together and unlike the romance with Chris Bowers’ Will Anthros character, I actually believe that Jaime and Tom could be a couple.  Jaime and Tom’s mission took [...]

About Bionic Woman

Welcome to the best site on the web for news about Bionic Woman! Bionic Woman is a re-imagined, updated television drama inspired by the original 1970s show starring Lindsey Wagner. Helmed by the same creative team responsible for reviving Battlestar Galactica on the Sci-Fi Channel, the new Bionic Woman is darker than the 1970s original series but not quite as dark as BSG. The new show stars Michelle Ryan as the title character, Jaime Sommers, and Katee Sackhoff as her nemesis/frenemy Sarah Corvus. Each episode provides Jaime with an opportunity to further adapt to her bionic implants, and plots usually focus on her struggles to raise her teenage sister Becca while fighting techno terrorism and other types of crime. Bionic Woman airs on channels around the world, and in the United States it appears on Wednesday nights at 9:00/8:00 Central on NBC.
