Bionic Woman Pulls Double Duty
There was a bit of a surprise when Katee Sackhoff told reporters that her time on the new NBC series "Bionic Woman" went from "one episode" to "recurring." But all of that can be explained in one simple sentence: Sackhoff simply wowed network executives.
Sackhoff's character originally was slated to be offed in the pilot, but executives liked her so much that she is now going to be pulling double duty between both shows which are filmed in Vancouver and produced by NBCU.
Sackhoff apparently isn't the only BSG alum to be making the show either... two more actors familiar to "Battlestar" fans who have some type of role in the pilot.
The Bionic Woman airs Wednesdays this fall at 9/8c on NBC. See NBC.com's Bionic Woman web page for more info.

"She absolutely steals the screen in 'Bionic,'" Angela Bromstad, president of NBC Universal Television Studio, told TV Week's James Hibberd.Some of the clips featuring Sackhoff, best known to genre fans as Kara "Starbuck" Thrace in SciFi Channel's "Battlestar Galactica," have been released to the Web by NBC Universal as a way to promote the series, which will make its debut this fall. In it, Sackhoff plays the original bionic woman who gets in a rooftop bionic battle with Jamie Sommers, played by series tar Michelle Ryan.

Pimpin' Thoughts:
I love Katee Sackhoff and Mae Whitmann. I used to Match Mae on Saving grace and she was so cute then. Wow how time flies. This show is pretty interesting...I'll definitely check it out.
This looks very, VERY interesting.
Wednesday will be an interesting night - this on NBC and "Pushing Daisies" on ABC....hmmm.
What's with NBC and the supernatural stuff, though? Can we expect a remake of "Manimal"?

This is gonna be good! Don't know much about the actress, Michelle Ryan, but I was a big fan of the Bionic Woman when Lyndsey Wagner played the part. Wednesday nights on NBC oughta be good!
This looks SO good. Kinda reminds me of Dark Angel - that show ROCKED for awhile and then they messed it up... Bionic Woman has the potential to be great... really great.
