		<title>&#8220;Bionic Woman&#8221;: Post-Mortem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This season, I’ll be summing up this unusual 2007-2008 season with a post-mortem on the majority of the shows I’ve reviewed during the year, ranking from the very worst to the very best.  In some cases, the term “post-mortem” is all too applicable.  This is Part 1 of this 11-step journey, focusing on the short-lived [...]]]></description>

		<title>Episode 1.8: &#8220;Do Not Disturb&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Written by Jason Smilovic This episode may be the series finale, depending on the network and the length of the writers’ strike. That may seem premature, but at this point, it comes down to network expectation. The series debuted with solid numbers, after all, but the ratings have plummeted to mediocre levels. With all the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Episode 1.7: &#8220;Trust Issues&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Written by Kerry Ehrin Directed by Alex Chapple “Bionic Woman” has always been a series in crisis. Every episode or so brings with it a new showrunner, and the show has suffered wild tonal shifts as a result. A show that once seemed ready to explore new ground has fallen back on questionable tropes that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Episode 1.6: &#8220;The List&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Written by Bridget Carpenter Directed by David Boyd This episode of “Bionic Woman” follows in the footsteps of the previous episode by re-directing Jaime’s character even further from the supposed feminist roots of the original premise. Instead of taking charge of her life and challenging the Berkut Group in an intelligent, self-interest manner, Jaime spends [...]]]></description>

		<title>Episode 1.5: &#8220;The Education of Jaime Sommers&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This episode of “Bionic Woman” is another confluence of contradictions. On the one hand, there is a definite rate of improvement in the overall presentation of the series. The quality is steadily improving on a few key fronts. On the other hand, some of the creative choices in this episode are annoying and derivative. As [...]]]></description>

		<title>Episode 1.4: &#8220;Faceoff&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first few episodes left me concerned, so I was happy to note that this episode was a lot more coherent. There are still some basic storytelling issues at play (something that may never be fully resolved), but the series is making a little more sense. The major sticking point continues to be the main [...]]]></description>

		<title>Episode 1.3: &#8220;Sisterhood&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This episode continues the evolution of the series from the version presented in the original pilot to the current status quo. That process continues to be difficult. Shifts and politics behind-the-scenes are showing up in the final product, and to a certain extent, it feels like the show is still trying to figure out what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Episode 1.2: &#8220;Paradise Lost&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Written by Jason Smilovic Directed by Tim Matheson One of the first observations upon watching this episode was the abrupt beginning. Will Anthros is dead, despite some of the plot elements introduced in the pilot that were specifically tied to his character, and Jamie is not dealing with the situation well. Over the course of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Episode 1.1: &#8220;Pilot&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Written by Laeta Kalogridis Directed by Michael Dinner This series has quite the interesting pedigree. Several of the producers and writers have been associated with some of the most revered genre shows in recent memory: “24” and “Battlestar Galactica”, for example. In fact, several of the recurring characters in the pilot are “Galactica” cast members, [...]]]></description>
