Crossing Jordan

Slightly misleading you, since this post is all about Bionic Woman and not that other NBC show the same name.  Bionic is still pretty much a mess (more about that below)... but what has made the last two episodes much more enjoyable is the addition of the dreamy Jordan Bridges as Jamie's new love interest, Tom Somebody, the CIA agent.   

I was disappointed when they killed off Jamie's surprisingly hot first boyfriend in the first episode, but if that loss was for the gain of Mr. Bridges... well, all is forgiven.

I had never heard of Jordan Bridges.  What to do?  Head over to IMDb and do a search, of course!  Mostly sporadic guest spots on network TV, a handful of Dawson's Creek episodes and, just last year, his first lead role in NBC's failed lawyer drama, Conviction.

If the pretty face isn't enough, I would have though he would have had more work just based on his name alone... a look at his personal info uncover that yes, he is a part of that Bridges family.... son of Beau Bridges... thus making him the nephew of Jeff and the grandson of Lloyd. 

Let's just hope he sticks around Bionic Woman since he's providing a nice distraction from a show that still need to get its act together.  I've read that there's been quite a bit of turnover behind the scenes, which has been pretty evident.  The whole transformation of Jamie into the the Bionic Woman was rushed through in the first episode and now, it's pretty much an "assignment" a week.  The whole "what is this secret/rogue organization" has taken a back seat and sadly Sarah Corvus, the first Bionic Woman (cheekily played by Katee Sackhoff), has gone A.W.O.L taking along with her own that sub-sub-secret/rogue sub-plot.  We'll see what happens... that is, if the Writers' Strike doesn't end up killing it first.
