After the first few episodes, the writers and producers of Bionic Woman are doing everything right. It's as if they're calling audibles from Joss Whedon's playbook.
You've got an independent woman displaying bravery despite overwhelming odds, a tough-but-fair father figure* who sends his female warrior into battle, a status quo that changes from one show to the next, an intriguing mythology being built, and life-or-death consequences for the main characters.
Oh, and every episode Jamie knocks a guy out with a hurled muskmelon or swings a terrorist into a glass table like a hammer. Quoting Kevin from The Office: "It's awesome."
* Miguel Ferrer should appear in every TV show and movie ever made--effective immediately. He should also be digitally inserted into I Love Lucy instead of Desi Arnaz just so he can say, "Lucy, I'm going to the Tropicana...and no funny business." Because digital Lucy would listen to him.
