Here is the note the creator of the trailer had to say:
"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.

Guerin Barry played the voice of Alex....from page 6 of The Bionic Book by P.J. Pilato.
Thanks for sharing Nevs!
I just watched this again .. damn that trailer is good !!
I wish he would do this for other BW episodes ..
I left him a comment on his YT site asking him to do that ..
Cool! Alex 7000 another Skynet Computer System! Shades of Matrix as well? But definitely Hal 9000 of 2001 a space oddesey. Yes a theme used many times throughout Movie and Television History.
Still pretty cool, and I like the Jamie angle the best.
It is an excellent trailer, I have not seen it before, I wonder how I could miss it. Fantastic ! Thank you Max for sharing.

By far the best traillor for " Doomsday is Tommorow " I give it thumbs
up to say the least - well executed
I have expressed myself more than once about " Doomsday is Tommorow " episode and above totally solidifies my thoughts.
By far this fan traillor is the BEST interpretation I have yet seen, gives the audience a good resume of the episode and the music is FANTASTIC. Bravo to whoever created it !
TIMELESS THEME , I can not agree more.
What I would love if someone out there, billionnaire philathropist as an example, to commission well talented profesionals in film to make a movie based on this episode.. with the right cast and writters and lots of budgetary money.. it's a sure bet will be a success and a great movie.
I would definately see this in a cinema - no problem
