Filmed at Guasti Winery and Chapel, Guasti California: staging spoiler!
Blog-271 March 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I was working as a school bus driver at the local school during the week of filming of this episode. Guasti is a little winery (Brookside Winery), post office, and school sandwiched between the Ontario Int'l Airport and Interstate 10 east of Los Angeles.

One afternoon, after delivering the kids home, I stopped by the set watching the filming. At one point Jamie lifts a car. What you didn't see was the crane and cable doing the lifting and a stunt double under the car.

Lindsay Wagner was sitting a few feet away waiting for her next shot. I was one of only a few people, and as I asked her for an autograph, she said she didn't give out autographs while on-set. However she was very friendly and we talked for a while.

The next morning I was driving to the school (5:30 AM) and had to go down a street lined with Motor Coaches on both sides. Lindsay Wagner stepped out of her coach and I had to slam on my brakes to keep from hitting her. I apologized, and she recognized me from the day before. She went inside and autographed a picture for me. I still have it. (be still my heart!).

She was dressed in blue jeans, a sweatshirt and her hair was tied up in a bandanna but she was the most beautiful women I had ever met. She had star quality and lit up the whole area when she smiled.

I hung around as much as I could for the next few days, but most of the filming was inside the Guasti chapel, and out of sight from the road.

I always liked the Bionic Woman series, and my close encounter with Lindsay Wagner only cemented my infatuation with her..even though I saw behind the Hollywood magic! Even now I drool thinking about her in her "Sleep Number" bed!

The Bionic Nun
MiketheWhistle29 January 2020
Typical ep but seeing Jaime run bionically in her nun's habit is a hoot. Having gone to Catholic School, this truly entertained me as I tried to imagine the Sister's that were my teachers run bionically in their habit.

Nothing particularly special otherwise about the ep and the plot is ok.

I almost skipped over this episode, thinking it would just be serious, dull, and depressing, but it's actually quite cute and humorous, never taking itself too seriously. And it even has a verbal reference to the Flying Nun TV show, now how adorable is that! It's got diamonds. It's got barrels full of drugs. Those nuns are not so innocent! But we have to figure out what's going on. That is, Jamie has to figure out what's going on. That's the story. And she uses her bionic powers along the way. Or.....is she really using God's powers that He has bestowed upon her? Perhaps food for thought. Anyway, a fun episode that should not be skipped over. Watch it and enjoy it. BTW, there's lot of music by Johann Sebastian Bach, a bionic composer if ever there was one.
