Skip this if you haven’t seen at least the first two episodes of Bionic Woman already. Potential spoilers after the break.
So Isaiah Washington’s been offered a spin-off series from Bionic Woman on the strength of a five-episode guest arc, one that hasn’t even aired yet. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t see many signs of why he or his character should be deserving of such a thing.
Here’s my theory: Isaiah’s character is the first bionic man and the spin-off series would be a new version of The Six Million Dollar Man, neatly reversing the order of the 70s’ series.
