Esteemed Scholar: Sudhir Rajagopalan Total Posts in Six Million Dollar Man & Bionic Woman 38 1. What do you like about this show? I love the idea of a cyborg , a part man and part machine concept as I am a great fan of sci-fi. Also, I liked the fact that Steve Austin was a very kind and compassionate cyborg and was not a hotshot who went around showing off his bionic powers. One episode where Steve persuades Oscar to let a female alien escape back to her planet instead of being subject to many tests and experiments by NASA was very touching. ANother episode where Steve consoles a young girl who has ESP and feels like a freak because she is alienated by her friends. Steve tells her that she is special and unique and should love her self and accept herself for who she is. 2. Favorite character and why? Steve Austin - due to his kindness, compassion and concern for all forms of life whether terrestial or extraterrestial. 3. Least favorite character and why? The Severn Million Dollar Man (Monte Markham) who acted like an arrogant hotshot and went about showing off his bionic powers and injuring people in the process. He should realise that he should use his special powers for eh good of mankinf like STeve Austin and Clark Krnt. 4. Favorite episode and why? The Day of the Robot where Steve has to fight against a full machine and he had to use his ingenuity to beat the robot. Another favourite episode was THE ESP Spy where Steve relates well to a young girl with ESP and consoles her when she feels like an outcaster due to her unique powers. 5. Least favorite episode and why? The Steve Austin Look Alike episode was very unbelievable and very unrealistic because the person who imitated Steve Austin was able to speak just like Steve Austin and his build and height and face was exactly the same as Steve Austin. What absolute rubbish!! 6. Which character do you identify with the most and why? Steve Austin because I have gone thorough much hardship in life myself and like Steve Austin also I believe we must always be good to others,believe in ourselves and not let our setbacks and problems in life affect our relationship with other people. 7. What was so special about this show? The concept of a cyborg was unique and very original and this was the first attempt by movie producers to create a concept of a part man and part machine living entity - it was a real pioneer in the field of cybernetics and and set the stage for other similiar movies like Terminator 1 and 2 etc. 8. What one change would you have made to improve this show? Steve Austin should have had both his hands bionic instead of just one because many of the feats he accomplished in the series could not have been done with just one bionic arm - it needed both arms to be bionic to be more realistic. 9. What's one kind of episode they didn't do but should have? The first episode Cyborg or other early Six Million Dollar Man episodes should have given more detailed information about Steve's bionic parts. It is much more than just one bionic arm, 2 bionic legs and a bionic eye. The original Cyborg episode or the early episodes should have followed the book Cyborg from Martin Caidin (which the series was based on) more closely.It was mentioned in the book that Steve's damaged ribs were replaced by metal parts, his skull was strenghtened with metal parts so that it could absorb blows 10 times harder than what a normal skull can could endure, the fact that his broken jaw was strenghtened and also that one of his heart valves was damaged and was replaced by an artificial metallic valve called a Hufnagel valve. All these was not mentioned in any one the Six Million Dollar Man episodes.
