Once again I'm a couple weeks late to the party. (I need another July to recover from this one! %-} ) On the upside, though, lots of stuff is now googleable for my convenience.

shadowmaat's comment on the "ten shows" meme the other day was my first inkling that the tinkering with the new Bionic Woman included scrapping kid sister Becca, at least as she was seen in the clip that was posted online a couple months ago. (Which is, alas, no longer available on the Trib's website. Also, for the record, I'm not saying I've seen any more of Becca than that. Not saying that at all. Nopenopenope. Because That Would Be Wrong.)

( In which Val rambles at length about the scuttlebutt putting a crimp in her inner six-year-old's Bionic Squee )

I'm still holding out hope for a good show. But my inner six-year-old is seriously wanting to kick some suit-clad kneecaps right now. :-PPPP

Via bentleywg, a few tantalizing clips of the forthcoming new Bionic Woman:

- Jaime wakes up after surgery (1:00)

- Three clips--two with Katee Sackhoff, one with Miguel Ferrer (total: 2:18)

I see a blog with no videos at this one, but maybe you'll have better luck:

- Two more clips in yesterday's Chicago Tribune (with sponsored ad before each clip)--one has interview with executive producer; the other is a scene of Jaime with younger sister. link

[ETA: And because Bentley is a genius:

if the Trib vids don't work on the webpage, try these links:
- the exec producer interview
- the clip with the sister (both play in Windows Media).]

I had to correct the spelling of whoever put them on YouTube, because I am that big a dork. :-}

I am six, I tell you. SIX. Squeeeeeeeeee! JAIME!!! Okay, not MY Jaime, 'cause nobody has Lindsay Wagner's smile. Not even Lindsay Wagner anymore, but I wouldn't either if I were hawking mattresses with built-in air compressors. But a Jaime, and what looks to be a very cool one indeed. I'm getting some definite Alias influence vibes, but as long nobody goes straight from one Sooper Sekrit HQ to another in the same dayglo hair, I'll be okay with that. And Miguel Ferrer's character will make me miss Oscar *snif*, but looks potentially interesting.

And yet. With the squee.

Man, this better turn out to be as good as it's starting to look. Look for me to take it hard if it doesn't. ~meep~
