"Doomsday Is Tomorrow" Fan Trailer 2007 (6min)

- "Doomsday Is Tomorrow," is perhaps the finest episode of the original Bionic Woman series; a two-parter that pits its title character against a super computer -- with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Paying homage to the classic "2001: A Space Odyssey" and the often overlooked, "Colossus: The Forbin Project," "Doomsday" mixes super science with dramatic themes, many of which remain relevant today.
But for all its ambitious inspiration, "Doomsday" is still a small screen production with a small screen budget. It would take a lofty directorial vision, stellar guest cast, and the reliable magic of regular cast and crew to make this two-parter seem bigger than what its screen dimensions could offer. And they succeeded. "Doomsday Is Tomorrow" is powerful and poignant and its message is timeless.
I have always believed it worthy of the big screen. So here is my tribute to "Doomsday Is Tomorrow" -- a contemporary theatrical trailer. But can such a thing truly be done with a 30 year old piece of television? You decide. Based on this trailer, would YOU go to see this in the cinema?
EDITING NOTES: Although I call it a trailer, at 6 minutes it's more of an extended trailer -- much like the sneak previews movie studios release. For music buffs, the main cue used is "Myotis" from BATMAN BEGINS composed by James Newton Howard & Hans Zimmer. Bookending the trailer is music from the actual episode and Bionic Woman main title, by Joe Harnell and Jerry Fielding, respectively.
Three episodes of The Bionic Woman; “Kill Oscar”, “Deadly Ringer”, and this one are arguably the best written, and best episodes of the series! This episode alone should have given Lindsay Wagner a Emmy nomination if not a Emmy win, because it was so well done! She had it all in this episode and “Deadly Ringer”, because you FELT Jaime’s soul in both of them! Would love the three episodes mentioned uncut, because they were movie quality and way better than stuff coming out of Hollywood now!
Doomsday is Tomorrow is one of the best written and acted tv episodes of all time, thought provoking and anxiously exciting as our mortality is made to weigh upon us. There's much to be appreciated of this two part series that it has never left me and I must revisit this full rounded masterpiece from time to time, it's enthralling!
@TRguy64 , Jaime said a line that hit home, that the doctor who invented Alex that he took every world leader right to the brink of their own funeral. The response Jaime's cohort said was just as hard hitting, but would they remember tomorrow?! Very thought provoking and how would we all feel if we were bought right to the edge of extinction!
Omg this should have gotten her a first Emmy.This episode was epic.
@Chris J.P. Black That is a dumb azz question, evidently you are not a fan. So why the fuk are you here?Get lost!
I dont know what that has to do with Doomsday is Tomorrow?
Totally agree
Way Ahead of its time ,As a Kid In the 1970s I remember watching this episode. Better than Plots made today
This episode was a very classy piece of television and along with Deadly Ringer repesents two of the best Bionic Woman stories. The line "but will they remember it tomorrow?" is excellent. They were actually screened back to back on British TV, whether they were filmed in that order, I don't know.
This is a brilliant trailer, by the way, what a talent.
Impressive work. Practically flawless. Your work has made this simple television episode very motion picture worthy. I am very impressed with your editing and production work. Amazing job.
WOW! It's been so long since I've seen the show. Very impressive edit. Brought back so many memories of doing the show. Thanks.
@Guerin - After a conversation I had with someone about strong, female leads in movies and television, I was inspired to re-watch this particular episode today! Even though the tech is a bit outdated, the story, and acting were superb and chillingly relevant today. This episode would not be the same without your brilliant vocal talents. "May the best... one... win.", I couldn't imagine anyone else delivering this line as effectively as you did! Thank you sir for helping my childhood be so awesome!
I had the flu as a child when I watched this for the first time. I was delirious with fever through most of it, falling in and out of sleep, with my imagination filling in the blanks. It was surreal and haunting what my mind conjured that my eyes missed. I saw it in reruns years later and got the full story. Parts I & II are definitely my favorite episodes. This trailer is a beautiful tribute to a great artifact of the 70's.
Wow! I am (was) The little pigtailed girl running through the park. It is so bizarre to see myself again. I've haven't seen this since it first aired way back when. I remember being on the set and not getting where I was supposed to "sit" right. They had to re-shoot the scene like three times because of me. I remember the director getting really upset. I was horrified! Still, super cool to see it and show it to my kids. My daughter is about the age that I was then (9). :)
Diane Jones that’s cool
Fantastic!
The best episode of 'The Bionic Woman' ever.
This was a real ground breaking work of art. I like how they referred to the Sino Soviet War of 1969 & brought up the emerging issue of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Like trying to remake the Manchurian Candidate, remaking this for the big screen would be an impossibly tall order in the Hollywood of today. For one thing, the stunts in this episode were live action, the only graphic stuff was maybe the beams from the directed energy weapons 'level 16 fortifications'. What a masterpiece, starring the fine journeymen actors and actresses of the 1970s. Long life to the cast of this episode! :-)
I love the emotional potency of this episode! You captured it all very well in this trailer!
Jamie's speech scene is awe-inspiring, too. The fact that she delivers this soul-touching speech about the beauty of life, but ALEX is unaffected by it is just gripping!
Lindsay Wagner should have won an Emmy Award for this ground breaking Episode. I watched this Episode on Television when I was 10 years old. It is still as powerful today. It stands up. Brilliant ! ❤️
I remember being terrified watching this episode as a little kid, and this fan trailer gave me goosebumps. Doomsday is Tomorrow is probably the best of the entire series.
This trailer of the episode ''Doomsday Is Tomorrow'' created by a fan of The Bionic Woman TV series, is a superbly done, beautifully edited piece. The only flaw in it is that in the trailer, the scene between Dr. Elijah Cooper and Jaime Sommers is shown after the scene in which Jaime Sommers is trying to convince the Alex 7000 computer about the beauty and preciousness of life is shown, whereas in the episode the scene between Jaime Sommers and the Alex 7000 computer occurs much later in that episode after the scene between Cooper and Jaime Sommers.
Incredible work, my friend! This was indeed the best Bionic Woman episode ever made and I have thought so since I originally saw it in the 70's!
i wish they would bring it back i would definitely be glued to my screen tv
Richard Anderson may you rest in peace.
Beautifully done ! You took two episodic television events and created a rekindle of powerful memory for this kid watching and being frightened by the then Soviet threat of nuclear war. Most excellent, I encourage you to give us more to see . ..
This is Awesome!!!!!!!!!! This episode scared the hell out of me when I was a kid.
This is a great episode full of action BUT it has an excellent moral that I wish ALL people could see and learn from today! The world in my opinion has become much worse regarding violence since that episode was made in the middle 1970s. I wish that someone could do today what Dr. Cooper did in this episode (try and blackmail the world into peace) and would remember the final words that were said by Jaime's partner at 5:14 into the video after Jaime said what a good thing Dr. Cooper did "but will they remember it tomorrow?" They have NOT in my opinion and they need to!

I would like to thank you for putting this on. It is brilliant with how you took a show from the 70's and turned it into something fresh and exciting. I would have loved to have seen and heard the scene where Alex could not understand how Jaime was running faster than a normal human could. Thanks again and all the best.
I love this Trailer - It might be an interesting actual movie - it would be hard to replace Jaimie almost as hard as replacing Wonder Woman... this episode was probably my fave along with the one when that girl was her double from prison. Thank you for making this - I really enjoy watching it.
@ captainsmith1. As you indicate by your question, no other actress could ever play the role of Jaime Sommers as phenomenally well as Lindsay Wagner.
That was an awesome trailer!! One of my favorite episodes!! Thank you!
You've done an excellent job! This was ALWAYS my favorite episode! I'm so glad the show is being formally released on DVD!
we miss U Bionic Woman
Thanks, Guerin! You gave voice to one of Bionic fandom's favorite adversaries! Look forward to talking with you soon! - Paul
Fantastic job on this one - so very well done. It's being favorited. You have a great editing talent - please give us more and share more of your talent with us!
Holy crap...
That actually brought tears to my eyes at about 4:42 to 4:45. Bravo.
Man, I don't think there are any shows on TV that will be looked back on so fondly 30 years later.
OMG, OMG! DUDE! I have no idea what you do for a living, but if it is not editing trailers for movies, you are definitely in the WRONG field!! Your editing was flawless! As a fan, of course, I remember these episodes. And watching your trailer brought back all the excitement that I felt when I viewed it for the first time and then some! Absolutely amazing!! Thanks so much for that wonderful trip down memory lane. BTW, I just ordered Season 1 of The Bionic Woman!!
The best episode of the Six Million Dollar Man/Bionic Woman franchise
This episode, and Kill Oscar, and Fembots In Las Vegas were my favorites! Alex and the Fembots---- sounds like a cheesy rock band from the 70s. With Jaimie as the lead singer. 👍😁
WOW!!! Almost 24,000 hits after being online for just over one year. Not bad for a show that is over 30 years old!!!! Universal Studios is mad not to settle up with Martin Caidin, the author of Cyborg!!! I want my platinum DVD collection with commentary from Wagner and Easter Eggs!!! Ah, it is a shame to keep such loyal fans waiting!!!
The world really needs to see this. Art truly does imitate life...
Oh and I always felt that these two episodes as well as Lindsay Wagner should have won that Emmy for.
Lindsay Wagner is one hell of an actress and many young tv series INCLUDING many young movie stars need to learn from her
This was a very nicely done trailer, I have not seen these episodes and now I want to see them!
I *need* to see this ep again! I remember being a kid watching and being so upset when the terminal that helps Jamie fix her leg gets crushed by ALEX. So good!
This was a great episode. I think this was one in which Lindsay was either nominated for or won an Emmy.
Loved that, loved that, loved that! I was thinking just last week of watching the episode again, and now I've caught your trailer! AWESOME!!! So well done. Please do the Bionic woman & bigfoot next!!! :)
I am always astounded at the sheer talent some people have. That was INCREDIBLE! I have this show on DVD, and I know this episode (a 2-parter) very well! I thought you did an EXCELLENT job! I believed I was truly seeing a BW movie trailer. Adding this to My Favourites for sure!!!
Wonderful. That's all I can say is wonderful. Perfect editing. Perfect use of music. I would try to make it shorter so it's more of a standard trailer length. But it is wonderful
That was the best!
Incredible!
More than ever I need to own the Bionic Woman on DVD!
This is freaking genius!! Excellent, bionicfans!
That was amazing-thanks for sharing a great and very timely video of a memorable episode!
Classic series
Kudos!!!! I am such a fan of the Bionics team .... this was spectacular!!!!
Doomsday Is Tomorrow" Fan Trailer is great great job
Fantastic! The best story (after Deadly Ringer). Please do more
Loved this show and I love this video. Fun feeling the excitement again while watching this well made movie like trailer.
This was EXCELLENT! WHY didn't the "new" Bionic Woman series just remake EVERY original episode. THIS is what made the Bionic Woman such an awesome TV show! I'm dying to have the DVD series and keep hoping that Universal will wise up and release it. I don't want to buy the overseas set because I'll have to buy a region free dvd player. Anyway, THANK YOU for creating this. Incredible work!
What a GREAT idea;too bad it was fictional.
THAT gave me goosebumps!!
This was / is undoubtedly the best writing for an episode of The Bionic Woman series. It also was a very good Public Service Announcement about curbing the making of nuclear weapons, the countries that have nukes can blow the earth up 500 times and still have nukes left. It's sad and I PRAY that NEVER happens in anyones lifetime from here until many, many years after I pass on..........
Yes, I would go to the cinema after seeing this trailer. Wow, how exciting you could turn a classic tv show into a 2008 blockbuster. Thanks
OMG! I am crying like a baby! That was terrific! What a wonderful tribute to the series and Lindsay Wagner! Bravo! Well done! I am so happy!
Season two of The Bionic Woman will be released on DVD May 17th. These fantastic episodes will be included. I can't wait to rewatch these old classics! Jaime VS ALEX!! May the best...one...win.
I would'nt take a bubble bath after this episode. Classic stuff.
I vaguely remember snippets of this episode from when I watched it as a kid
AWESOME how you did this, Two Major Thumbs Up!
This was always my favorite episode though years later I would realize the concept for Alex was probably ripped off from HAL.
If anyone has the entire episode, please post it. I'd love to watch it again.
Wow that was epic!! We need to get the youtubers who put trailers like this together in Hollywood as the Execs in Hollywood today are just crappy
Congratulations for this super pro trailer you made!!! Absolutely no doubt this was Bionic best episode, toghether with the ones with the Fembots, tough for different reasons. You should try a trailer about them too. The "vintage" spirit they have now contrast with the universality of the message. I still remember Alex 7000 spanish version voice which I used to hear (Argentina), quite more impressive and scary than the one in English. Besides, in my country we saw this series in B&W!!
This was absolutly fantastic!!
Muito legal! Clássico Sify!! 🥰
Wow! Amazing trailer! Good work.
It's like a modern-day trailer, it spoils the entire story. 😉
You should give a class to the so called "experts" in Hollywood on how to make a quality trailer! Your editing is nothing short of awesome! If you don't work in the business you should, your work is A++!!!!!! Again outstanding job to a great old favorite of mine!
That was priceless.GREAT JOB!
This is very nicely done.
a super powered plot? I love this!
EXCELLENT!!!!!! I loved it. You did a good job
Wooooooooooooooow ... unbelievable ... great work !!
You are awesome this meant so much.
I remember watching this doomsday episode when it was first on ABC in the 1970s. As I recall, it was a 2 part episode. i was an avid viewer every Wednesday night at 8pm in the 1970s.
Lindsay Wagner was impeccable as Jaime Sommers. Her character was very believable since she let you know that she was imperfect (i.e. her fear of snakes).
Why isn't this great show available on DVD?!?!
Dude, this trailer would have PWN back in 70's =)
I still love this show to death. That horrible remake can't hold a candle to it.
30 year old footage, could have fooled me looked like it was done yesterday! That ruled! The way that was edited looked better than the crap they try to so hard to sell today. I remember the original story and it was one of the BEST episodes, EVER, of the Bionic Woman. Only "Kill, Oscar" was as well written.
excellant!!love it every long bit of it!!
excellent trailer... GREAT job
Absolutely Kick ASS! Kudos and Accolades!
I loved it when it first came out and still do.
WOW!!! Great Work
OUTSTANDING WORK !!!!!!!!!!
Fabulous!!!!!!!!!
is there a place on the net where you can watch all the TV shows from the past. All I'm finding is junk and scams. let me know please.
Super! It's sooo GREAT your job!!
If you could re-do this with the higher-quality footage from the new DVD releases it would be amazing! But it's a lot of work...
She's brave 👑👑
@voyager202000 I agree, this is an ABSOLUT KICK ASS work of Art!!! I watched this episode when it first aired and I feel like watching it again right now.
AWESOME! I am 41 and watched this way back when. Did you make one like the for: Kill Oscar "fembots"?
Miles
I want to see the last episode of Bionic woman!!!!! Do You have it?
Wonderful.
4:08, 4:09, Jaime is dismantling the Alex 7000, just like Dave dismantled the HAL 9000
in 2001, A Space Odyssey.
Excellent!! Done good!!
Excelente! Felicitaciones!
Is this available on any streaming service?
This ep. is on da il y moti on…
Being a die-hard bionic fan, I would be lying if I didn't admit I would go see this as a movie based on the trailer alone. Pretty much shows the power of talent/technology at the risk of taking a past successful and dramatic primetime series (way ahead of its time) and putting it in the present, even if it's just a teaser. Kudos for your work...
My favorite B.W. episode I don't suppose Y.T.'s censorship will allow you to post the whole thing,will they.
haha!!! Great one! You did a great job!!!
Great Job!!
