    One common motif is that the recipients of the bionic prostheses saw
    themselves as somehow less than human.

    I never understood that ...

    Cool

    As usual, the original "The Bionic Woman" was much better than the
    awful reboot version which for some silly reason starred a British
    ex-soap actor who couldn't act (and hence is back on the same soap
    again). Thankfully the reboot was quickly cancelled again. :-\

    They were still mourning the loss of important parts of their natural
    bodies. The prosthesis doesn't eliminate how one reacts to major trauma.

    That may have been the only thing that was realistic.

    The novel's title was literally Cyborg.

    At the end of the the 1987 movie, RoboCop, nearly a full body replacement, accepted he couldn't live Murphy's life any longer. Not sure he still saw himself as all that human any longer.

    Michele Ryan was good in both Merlin and Doctor Who.
    Now, Katie Sackoff, she stunk up the screen

    Ryan made a Frankenstein movie I?ve never seen. Hmmm

    One key difference being, the ?bionic? prostheses were so realistic
    that nobody could tell.

    The person with the bionics still knows though, and it's in their mind
    that the problem is. It's also not helped every time they go wrong and something happens like bursting a tennis ball trying to pick it up. :-)
