The Bionic Woman was a remake of a 1970s show of the same name, aired on NBC in 2007. The show starred Jaime Sommers (Michelle Ryan), who, after discovering that she is pregnant with her boyfriend's child, is in a horrific car accident that terminates the pregnancy and causes her boyfriend, a doctor working for a clandestine agency, to replace both her legs, one arm, an eye and an ear with advanced cybernetic augmentations which give her super speed, strength, hearing, and vision. Jamie, not wanting to be turned into a medical experiment, escapes from the facility and, in the process, discovers that she is the second woman, Sarah Corvus (Katie Sackhoff), to undergo this transformation and that the original bionic woman was the cause of the car accident and subsequent murder of her boyfriend. Due to how much capital has been sunk into Jamie by the organization, she is recruited by Antonio Pope (Isaiah Washington), trained by Jae Kim (Will Yun Lee), and commanded by the leader of the organization Jonas Bledsoe (Miguel Ferrer). Along with struggling with her responsibilities as an unwilling superhero and spy, Jamie also has to contend with her 15-year-old sister Becca (Lucy Hale), whom she is raising after the death of their parents. The show ends with the discovery that Jamie will eventually begin to lose her mind and faculties like the first bionic woman did unless they can do more research and find a way to stop the inevitable transformation.
