Fembots. Fembots! FEMBOTS!!! This three-part paean to misogyny (the second of which is on 6MDM) might be consigned to the scrap heap, but for one tiny nugget of improbable casting. The spurned doctor-who-plans-revenge- on-Oscar-while-scheming-to-conquer-the-world-with-evil-female-robots? Boys and girls, that would be one john houseman (THE PAPER CHASE, THE NAKED GUN). Mr. Smith freakin' Julliard Barney himself. So yes, keep any actual boys and girls away from this one, but the chilling image of a powerful, beautiful woman with her face removed to reveal wires and circuits is a fright that will never be erased. Jaime and steve storm an island lair, Oscar leaves taped instructions to have him killed...brilliant. Now, mr. johnson, i'd like to discuss my trust issues with women.

One of the finest of the franchise

If you were a child back then, Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman were "must see tv", to put it mildly.
The fembots were one of the most frightening of the franchise. Although I think this episode is weakest of the three, it's still quite good and this three part story was basically a mini movie, made for tv.
This trilogy had so many memorable moments. The one I remember most distinctly was when Jaime was fleeing Callahan's apartment and was forced to jump beyond her bionic capabilities and her legs all but exploded when she landed.
But there were many more. Steve in the lightning chamber, Steve watching Oscar crush a pencil, "Oscar" attempting to kill Jaime in the hospital, the abduction of Oscar. Great stuff!
