From what I've read, I don't think it's too closely connected to the prior movie, I think it's more starting from scratch with the premise. Which is fine with me, as I never saw the earlier movie version anyway, so I'd much rather they just started over.

So, Jane is like Wolverine, then - she heals but it really hurts while it's happening (and I guess it hurts more depending on what it is that is injured/wrong?)? Where did her powers come from (or is that one of the points of the story, finding that out)?

Actually, I think she doesn't feel pain at all, and it's the side effect of an accident.

Twilight isn't about vampires, it's about teenagers with sharp teeth.

I was confused after I read this, because I've never read the comics - so I looked it up on ScifiPedia, and it says:
Quote:
During the course of her first investigation with her new team, Jane discovers that she too possesses formidable powers. She cannot be killed. Plummeting from the 46th floor of a building and living to tell the tale definitely proved that. Unfortunately, she can still feel pain.
So, it looks like she CAN feel pain, but it didn't say anything about why she can't feel pain, or how/when she developed this power. I wonder if it is from something like an accident that caused it, or if it was from something physical or genetic, the way the powers develop in shows like Heroes?

Interesting. Apparently I need to watch the show more.

Thanks for the news dukesmom...I'll set the time aside when I get ready for Stargate.
