what you might expect: Lots of action; Cast requests;Angst;
Retro stuff... and of course, Fembots!

In the fans own words....
"I want to see a strong [female]
character-driven series where she fights bad guys
and uses her bionic abilities to do so. Okay,
update the scenarios to be relevant to our time,
but we still want to see her lifting cars, running
at 60mph and jumping great heights" - Chris
Noone
"Fembots! There must be fembots!
The bionic sound should stay the same, especially
the whistling missle sounds when jaime chucks
something. The opening credits ,ust show a shot
of Jaime bursting a tennis ball in her hand -
thsi is an absolute must!" - Hawkman Dave
"I'd like to see it use lots
of bullet time as an updated version of the slow
motion running. Have some updated cyborg effects,
maybe make the cybernetics believable; have robot
arms that would have to be kept covered apart
from the hands, and let's have some angst"
- Rhialto
"The fembots definitely need
to be back and doing bionics in bullet time is
a good idea. Nto too much 'woe is me I'm not a
real woman as I have fake limbs' nonsense either
- maybe just abit at the end of the day without
she wouldn't have fab superwoman powers and would
also be dead" - Dr R Wells
"What about an unknown actress
for the role? Then it would be up to the story
to be even more fab!" - Sinead
""I'm not bothered about
an updated Bionic Woman to be honest, but
I guess if it's going ahead it would be nice to
see her get really battle damaged on occasion"
- Thing
"Go with alot of modern technologies,
bluetooth built-in mobile, internet connection,
etc. She could operate her care by remot control
or any bluetooth device, access satellite images
and even local CCTV. But don't just be an action
series. Deal with the effects of bionics too."
- Basileus
"How about less of a focus
on the career of Ms Bionic, and more of an exploration
of corporate politics and intrigue?" - Ticketsformalkovich
"Would it be too much to ask
for realism?" - jstarbuck
"Cameos for Lee Majors and
Lindsay Wagner. Maybe they could be suffereing
from some form of cancer or something due to their
bionic implants which is why there's been no more
bionics since the '70s." - goodcaptain
"Bigfoot has to return, and
the Fembots' faces have to fall off when hit.
Yes, these classic moments along the rubber iron
bars are what ,ade the Bionic series what it was."
- Gaz:THFC
