TV Faux-drama Infraction: Bionic Woman

In the pilot of Bionic Woman, where she discovers deals with the fact that most of her body has been replaced with robotics/nano-tech (ooh, spoiler! like that was really unexpected?), the show commits a grievous offense upon the audience.

You can’t just use a song like Sia’s Breathe Me, one which played along one of the most emotional moments in TV history a mere 20 minutes into your series where the audience feels little to no connection to your main character. Slow the hell down, and give us the chance to actually care about it.

Oh, and let’s not even get into the casting of Isaiah Washington, canned from Grey’s Anatomy after his homophobic remarks on the set, as one of the key characters in this series. Way to shoot yourselves in the foot.
