Last week the Sci Fi Network premiered its new series, ‘Painkiller Jane.’ In the pilot episode we were introduced to Jane Vasko (Kristanna Loken), a DEA agent who eventually gets hired to work with a secret government organization whose mission is to track down and capture “Neuros.” Neuros are people with extraordinary abilities, similar to the characters in the NBC Show ‘Heroes.’ Though unlike most of the ‘Heroes’ characters, all of the neuros we met in the first episode are up to no good.
The title character is more than just a tough government agent. After getting thrown from the window of a building and surviving the multi-story drop, Jane learns that she’s virtually indestructible. Unlike her nickname suggests, she can in fact, feel pain. Her ability to heal quickly proves to be very convenient for her in her line of work. By the end of the first episode, she survived the big fall, was shot multiple times and cut her hand with a piece of glass and there’s literally not a scratch on her.
Tonight’s episode is titled ‘Toy Soldiers.’ Jane and the rest of the small team of agents attempt to detain a neuro who might be targeting the President.
Below is a clip from tonight’s episode which will air on the Sci Fi channel at 10 PM EST.
