Nad, thanks for posting the overnight ratings I am glad the show is holding on, hopefully after a few more weeks like this they will pick it up for the entire first season!

Max I couldn't agree more. This seems to be the kind of show that will get better and better with every episode.

To me this is the most compelling storyline so far. The actresses have great chemistry together, and they make you care, esp. Katee. I think that Katee is just unbelievable in this role, and I know she even overshadowns Michelle right now, but that will change with time. Michelle is still kind of growing into the leading role, and Katee did only 5 episodes (she will be back for more later, but that is all she shot and then had to go do BSG).

Here is a brief review

The Good: First, let me say, I enjoyed the fact that David Eick wrote this episode. It had a distinct BSG feel to it, just like we have all come to expect and love (where are all my fellow BSG fans out here! )

Michelle Ryan improves every episode as Jamie. You can tell she is more comfortable with the "abilities" factor and her vulnerabilty and emotional sides are more in touch now reflective of the character she portrays. I really enjoy seeing the little moments of Jamie being an older sister and a friend to Becca. It definitely humanizes Jamie as a character, gives her depth and it's important that our reluctant hero stay grounded. Becca is what keeps her grounded and from going off into the deep end right now.

Katee Sackhoff is a genious. OK, maybe not, maybe it's David Eick or whoever is responsible for casting her as Sarah Corvus. This role is written for Katee and takes advantage of Katee's abilities as an actress. She plays the broken down bionic woman perfectly. Her scenes were dynamic and had you feeling for the character and yet she showed enough ruthlessness (like when she shot one of the attackers or at the end when she had Becca) to keep you on edge and to remind you how dangerous she is. I just can't say or in this case "type" enough about her and the job she has done so far on the show. She is our anti-hero, our loose canon, dark show like this one needs to have a character like Sarah.

The ambiguity, the fact that she had a sister of her own that died, being "dead" and coming back to life less human and more machine...I mean how do you play someone like that convincingly. It's very strong emotional material and yet she is not supposed to "be able to feel" emotions, just basic instincts, like in this case self preservation. Someone once said "Do not underestimate the will to live". Yes, another BSG theme from S2! I'm kind of thankful that David Eick isn't afraid to borrow some from BSG, the best show that nobody knows about on TV.

Having Will's father back, working with Sarah is a big storyline to follow. What is his end game? To get back at the company that send him to prison or more sophisticated than that? Is he really helping Sarah out with those injections, or are they actually the reason why she is getting progressively worst? What happened to the guy that helped him escape from prison in the premiere, the one that said to Sarah that she failed him? Wonder if he'll show up.

Thank you NBC for having the brains and guts to add Isaiah Washington to the cast! His scene with Jamie during her training session was dynamite. "Unleash the Beast" Or the "Animal" in that case. I'm sure we'll deal more on this subject as the show goes on. It's really good that Jamie has more than 1 "tudors" or "teachers" or whatever you'd like to call Isaiah and Will Lee's characters.

The GPS device thing was really neat, and loved the blood "effect" for turning it on and off, now at least the audience can tell

The fight in the nail place was awesome, Jamie kicked butt and I loved Sarah storming in there and asking for pink (that is what she asked for, right? Pink toenails, )

The Bad: Didn't really care for the plot with the Candaien Defense Minister's daughter, but I get it that Jamie needed a mission or something to do. I just wish they would have done a better job there and not just something so silly.

The Ugly: Nothing here, two weeks in a row! Keep it that way Bionic Woman.

OK, I rate this week's eppy a strong 3 star: out of 5.

After watching the episode last night I have to agree with everyone who said that "Sisterhood" was the best episode so far.

*raises hand* Here's one BSG fan Anyhow, I didn't even notice David Eick wrote the episode - I need to pay more attention to the credits again

Agreed - she certainly is the person that keeps her grounded. Even though I'm still wondering what's up with the comment about Jamie's grandmother... I hope we'll hear more about it in the future.

I had a little BSG flashback at this point - Starbuck on New Caprica, captured by Leoben (somewhat vulnerabel and caught in a really bad nightmare).

Absolutely, it's not a good idea to underestimate her, even when she seems 'nice' for a change.

The fact that Sarah had a sister of her own is definitely very important to understand the puzzle that is Sarah Corvus. The fact that both her and Jamie had/have a sister kinda forms a bond between them - they both know what it's like to care for a sister and to life in fear of loosing her.

I was wondering about him as well - is he still out there somewhere, working for Anthros or is he still alive, did he get killed...? I hope they'll clear that up at one point.

Jamie sure kicked butt, even though I kept wondering why all those guys were still on their feet after they ran into her for the first time (okay, I'm nitpicking again ).

Oh well... they had to give Jamie something to do. And Sarah's "you shut up when adults talk" (or something to that extend) in the garage scene made me smile .

I still think Molly Price and Miguel Ferrer are underused . I really hope their characters get more stuff to work with in the upcoming episodes.

Alexander

Nad, I almost didn't notice it either, and I have not had a chance to watch the episode a second time, usually then I notice them

I really like that, it's brilliant writting to do it this way. As we go, we will no doubt find out that Sarah and Jamie have more in common than they both realize

Maybe he's the one who helped organize "Will's death"? It's possible.

Well at least it wasn't as bad as the previous episode, where Jamie got her butt kicked until the very end of her fight with the mercenary guy.

No doubt that Katee has the sexiest "lines" in the show I was really hoping she would actually "move in" next door to Jamie's apartment but yeah, wishful thinking!

Yes, they are coming off as "stiff" and "one dimentional" right now. Hope that changes.

Nad

I'd be willing to bet on that as well

Interesting theory - would certainly explain why we haven't seen him again since the pilot.

Yep, she's making progress - I'm sure no one will be able to stand up again after she hit them shortly.

That needs to change, otherwise people will lose interest

Johnnie

I liked it when Sarah scared the girl when they were in the parking lot. It seems she needed something drastic like the events of that day to make a life change.

I love how it ended with the scenes between Sarah and Jamie... I wonder how long it'll be until Becca figures out what's going on with her sister.

I agree about the blood thing being great to tell when that's been turned on and off, though I wonder if there will be any bad effects over time from constantly turning that on and off if it causes bleeding.

Overall, I loved the episode.

Nad

Hey Johnnie

I image it would do some harm over time, given that the chip (or whatever it is) is implanted in her brain. Bleeding never is a good sign IMO. Maybe Sarah's problems have been caused by turning on/off some of her features as well.
