The Six Million Dollar Man: The Return of Bigfoot (part 2)

episode number: (this is actually a Bionic Woman episode from 1976)
viewing setting: home DVD, 4/22/12

episode synopsis: With Steve on his deathbed, it's up to Jaime Sommers, the bionic woman, to track down the aliens and Bigfoot, stop their plot, and get the serum needed to save Steve's life.

impressions: Aside from a few questionable science type things (bending time and teleporting) this was pretty good. It focused on Jaime, not Steve. The aliens proved to be no smarter than Earth people, especially concerning the level of trust they put in each other. All in all, though, this wasn't as much fun as the original Bigfoot episdes.

notable guest stars: John Saxon (who I didn't recognize beneath a heavy beard) is the main bad guy alien. Charles Cyphers is another of the aliens who joined the bad guy group.

significant bionic antics: Jaime not only fights the Bigfoot, but also powers a generator by fashioning a makeshift crank, and breaks through a stone wall. Steve later joins in the fight against the bad guys.
