Isaiah Wasington's "lethargic" performance in "Bionic Woman" slammed by TV Guide...
The photo has nothing to do with the scathing review but I just thought it was kinda funny. In the Cheers & Jeers section of TV Guide, Isaiah Washington gets the kind of "Jeer" that is every actor's nightmare and I feel it is my duty to share it with you word, for word:
"JEERS to Isaiah Washington for his tragically lethargic performance on Bionic Woman. The former Grey's Anatomy lightning rod was clearoly brought onto NBC's sci-fi remake to generate controversy - and ratings - but he sucks the life out of every scene. As Antonio Pope, the trainer/guru of Jaime Sommers (Michelle Ryan), he's adopted a too-cool-for-acting style, mumbling his lines and only coming to life when he's kicking somebody's ass. Washington needs to take a cue from his Bionic cast mate Katee Sackhoff and amp his energy level up several notches. He should be better, stronger...and less boring."
Ouch!

why are you bashing this man is this because of his homophobic comments
Greg: I was so looking forward to this show, until that casting decision.
And to the previous commentor - why? Because of the homophobic comments!
Oh, and Greg - seriously, dude I love ya & your blog, but PROOF-read before you post!
You really need to stop hating on Isaiah, let it go already, get over it move on, get a life!!!!!!!
seems that everyone is hollywood gets a second chance but Isaiah. I actually didn't see anything wrong with his performance.
I agree with 'mo' and 'Deacon', there is more wrong with BW than Isaiah. Indeed, everyone does seem to get second chances... Move on already!
Wondering...is it just me or did anyone notice that when Michelle Ryan got to use her real accent in the last BW episode..her acting was tons better! They should have just let her be British from the beginning. She was great in Hyde on BBC
