My final blog and it's been a very fun two months watching this show in the longest time and going over each episode.
Episode 56: The Boy Who Knew Her Secret: Part 2
The second part had two problems for Wonder Woman. The first one being the invading alien race in question trying to force her to stay out of their business by making her forget she was Wonder Woman but that one kind of didn't last too long when a forgetful Diana interacted with Skip and "Wonder Woman". The other being Skip being aware of Wonder Woman's true identity and the latter's attempts to make her forget not working. Yeah, even Diana got duped by the power of a tape recorder. Oh and there was a choice bit of dialogue that was very relevant to the next episode. 8/10
Episode 57: The Man Who Could Not Die
This was the last episode to be filmed for the show and also should've been the last one that aired. I say this because this episode served as a prelude to what a fourth season would've looked like had the show not ended. Gone was Steve Trevor and Washington and instead you had Wonder Woman relocate to California where she got a new boss, a precocious wise cracking kid sidekick, an invulnerable monkey and a former football player turned computer scientist turned invulnerable man named Bryce Candell (Bob Seagren), whom Wonder Woman had decent chemistry with. It's very much a pilot episode for Season 4 and while I definitely would've written out the kid sidekick, this could've potentially worked had things gone differently for the show. A shame we'll never know. 7/10
Episode 58: Phantom Of The Roller Coaster: Part 1
Yeah, for a series ender, I'm not sure this two parter was the best idea. It's almost like this whole two parter should've aired before The Boy Who Knew Her Secret because it's pretty much just a spoof off The Phantom Of The Opera throughout with a disfigured and generally sympathetic man named David Gurney (Jared Martin) who generally "haunted" the rollercoaster. There's also Leon Gurney, also played by Jared Martin too, so you do get a bit of a dual performance in this one. 6/10
Episode 59: Phantom Of The Roller Coaster: Part 2
The last ever episode and it's mostly to round off this fairly middling two parter. There's a nice reunion between both David and Leon as they work with Wonder Woman to stop a foreign spy ring threat but compared to the three episodes that preceded this two parter, it's not a very engaging ending for the series. Saying that, ice enjoyed the catch up in the last eight weeks and Lynda Carter really did cement herself as an icon for this career defining role. 6/10.
Well, that's my series rewatch of Wonder Woman complete. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
