Bionic Woman And The Subconscious MInd

First let me point out controlling bionic limbs with toughts is really not far fetch as it sounds. In fact it is possible to amplify the nerves electric signals with a device, but unlike the fantasy science fiction shows like "The Six Million Dollar Man" and "The Bionic Woman" they won't be jumping 20 feet in the air or turn over a car with a bionic arm

The Bionic Woman is a spin-off of the "Six Million Dollar Man" Lindsay Wagner was cast  for The Bionic Woman for her sister's birthday  "The Bionic Woman Parts I and II".The Six Million Dollar Man's name is Steve Austin.

Jamie was planning to marry Steve Austin but while  skydiving Jamie had a parachute accident, it got caught in tree limbs and the parachute ripped dropping Jamie 20 feet to the hard ground .Jamie was later  made bionic.

In part 2 of The Bionic Woman her body began to reject her bionics causing her extreme pain and she ran off,at the hospital she died.The story was going to end there but ABC got tons of letters to bring  The Bionic Woman back.

In  the episodes of "The Return Of The Bionic Woman" when Jamie was brought to life she suffered partial amnesia.When Steve visited Jamie in the hospital  her first question was "Who are you ?" then she started to feel extreme pain. Dr. Ruby Wells re-check her bionics ,as well as her human body and everything was fine.Once again Steve tried to visited Jamie and again she felt extreme pain.

Steve figured out later that it was him causing Jamie subconsciously  physical pain. Even his picture in the newspaper would set her extreme pain off, so Steve decided to leave, so Jamie can enjoy her life without pain and they were never to see each other again.

Both "The Six Million Dollar Man" and "The Bionic Woman" both have cartoon overtones. Both Jamie and Steve have bionic legs and a bionic right arm. Steve also has a  bionic right eye while Jamie has a bionic right ear. Why on the right side for both Jamie and Steve? To make it easy for the directors.

By the way, when you see Steve or Jamie jumping on top of a building it is actually a stunt person jumping backwards, then they run the film backwards.
