ltdiver 3 #1 January 4, 2007 Okay, maybe I'm not the geek I thought I was, however I didn't know that the original bionic woman (Linsey Wagner) got her bionic parts after being injured in a skydiving accident?! http://www.tv.com/story/7844.html News to you? Anyone see the episode (or was it just referred to in the series)? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sundevil777 102 #4 January 4, 2007 The skydiving injury was never part of an episode of the series - it was part of the title scene that they played at the beginning of every episode.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d_squared431 0 #7 January 4, 2007 As a kid I loved that show and watched every episode. I don't remember seeing the episode of her skydiving or how she became the bionic woman.

rehmwa 2 #12 January 4, 2007 QuoteThe skydiving injury was never part of an episode of the series - it was part of the title scene that they played at the beginning of every episode. it wasn't part of it. But I do think it was part of the 6 Million Dollar Man I think it was something like this: Steve Austin and (Bionic Woman - Lindsey Wagner, can't recall the character name) fall for each other. She gets serious hurt in the skydiving accident. They save her at Steve's insistence, by making her bionic, but she then has severe amnesia and can't remember her feelings for poor old Stevie-boy. Thus a spin off TV series is created. But I haven't seen those shows in something like 20 or 30 years. Still, slow motion running is pretty cool. edit; was her name "Jamie Summers"? now that's nerdy to remember that ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

willard 0 #14 January 4, 2007 Gee, I guess I am getting old. I thought everyone knew she was hurt in a skydive accident. If I remember correctly the whole story line started in the pilot for the series. She had the accident, Steve Austin was her boyfriend and had all his bionic parts by then. He managed to convince his boss (owner?) that she would make a great secret agent and that he should spring the dough to get her the upgrade. He shouldn't have got her the ear though. It's bad enough that women can read our minds and our lips, but to enable one of them to hear us whisper from 1000 yards away? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #16 January 4, 2007 Quoteslow motion running is pretty cool. You've got to wonder how they came up with that idea... "Okay, we've got a bionic man that can run 50 miles per hous. How are we going to film that for TV? Hey, I've got it. We'll show it in slow motion, with a "boingggg" sound, and just let the viewers imagine that it's really 50 mph!" Goofy stuff! Why didn't they just speed the tape up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moodyskydiver 0 #19 January 5, 2007 LOL! After a hard landing and some complications I had to get full prosthetic knee braces.My hubby started calling me The Bionic Woman.I thought it was just b/c of all the hardware of the knee braces,but I guess he pegged it more correctly than I thought.

I never knew a PC could collapse like that - mine never did. The whole running thing was part of the magic for teenage me. What I find interesting is that nowadays the TV network would probably ship her off to a fat farm. Back then guys just thought she was hot. She was. Back then pretty women were allowed to have some meat on their bones. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
