What got me going on this

I loved the Bionic Woman as a kid, I have realized recently how much the TV show and the character of Jaime Sommers helped me develop. I lost that for awhile, but I feel like that influence is back now. And with the series coming out on DVD, the third season coming out next month (MAX! the bionic dog!) I just got really back into the fandom.

The star of the series (because we're talking the original), Lindsay Wagner, has appeared on some episodes of Warehouse 13. In this season there was an exchange, perhaps a message to her Bionic Woman fans. She had two men vieing for her attention.  One was an old lover (Rene Auberjonois who had appeared with her playing an artist, forger, in the BW episode "The DeJon Caper"), who drew a picture of  her looking as she did in BW as it would have been about that time, another someone who came into her life recently. The latter expected her to reunite with her old lover, but she showed him the drawing and said something like "when he looks at me he still sees this young girl. She's inside of me, but she's not me. When you look at me you see me."

I realized that I do see how she's grown, the things she's done since then, changes. But I still want to be that young girl!  Or what she might have become. And not necessarily what Lindsay has become, although I'm not saying that's bad but she's a real person and I'm not her. I'm not Jaime either, but at least it seems a little less creepy to want to be a fictional character than it does someone who's living a real life.

So for how Lindsay Wagner developed since the Bionic Woman you should go to her websites LindsayWagner.com and Lindsay Wagner's "Quiet the Mind & Open the Heart".  This will be bits and pieces of how this show influenced me in my life. And how I failed to live up to it and how I got back. So this is about me, not bionic, but still trying to be Jaime. Sort of.
