Steve Austin teams up with Jaime Sommers once again
friendsfor0118 December 2007
This is really an episode of the three part cross over: "Kill Oscar" from the "bionic woman". It is weird to see cross overs on TV but this is an exception.We see several times Steve and Jamie teaming up in both shows.Maybe the idea to create another show with Steve and Jamie together crossed the producers mind.It all started with episodes of "the six million dollar man" where Jamie was introduced(4 episodes) then the saga of Big foot being the first part from "the six million dollar man" and the second part from "the bionic woman".Also other episodes where Jamie appeared just for a while.It means both shows were connected to each other: "the bionic woman" was a spin off. Sometimes it could be a confusion from the people who project this shows."kill Oscar" is a living example.When I was a kid I never realized it. I knew about this some years ago.In fact, the version that I saw in English some years ago through cable TV shows this second part the beginning and the end from SMDM(credits).In Spanish, I saw only the end the SMDM credits .That's why It's considered in the list of episodes of SMDM. In this episode, because Jamie had a terrible accident fighting the fem bots, she passed the ball to Steve who was in action all the episode.He has to face Disgruntled former O.S.I. employee Doctor Franklin and his deadly scheme to take over the government agency by replacing Oscar Goldman, his secretary Callahan, and Doctor Rudy Wells' secretary Linda with robot duplicates called Fembots.This is quite a good episode with full action.However I prefer th SMDM music rather than the bionic woman's that is shown here with only the main melody of SMDM.Its a good idea to confront powerful robots with bionic people.The idea of showing faceless robots comes from previous episodes ("day of the robot" and "Return of the robot maker")We see again a robotic duplicate of Oscar Goldman and at the end a fight between Steve and the robot which is good although there is a big distance between this one and the previous fights with robots from early episodes perhaps owing to the fact that the series became family oriented. The robots(fem bots) are very powerful but are only machines while Steve and Jamie are humans that can think of themselves.
