Wonder Woman - Episodes 44-47 Reviews

In this batch of episodes, there's dolphins, a fake Wonder Woman, leprechauns and a giant freaking brain. 

Episode 44: The Deadly Dolphin


We're in a terrain of some sillyish episodes with this batch and this one involved some dolphin snatching by a greedy land owner. Diana worked with Billy (Britt Leach) and Dr Sylvia Stubs (Penelope Windust) in order to rescue the dolphins of the episode. Aside from one damsel in distress moment with Diana, this was a solid enough adventure. 6/10

Episode 45: Stolen Faces 


We open the episode with a fake Wonder Woman, who saved a boy from being hit by a car. The fake being a petty criminal named Nancy Clark (Diane Lander) working for a modelling agency using fakes of influential people in order to pull off lucrative heists. I found this one rather entertaining with Nancy being a sympathetic enough guest character forced into more criminality due to circumstances. Steve popped up but did very little to help save the day tbh. 7/10

Episode 46: Pot Of Gold


Begora, it's an Oirish themed episode. Well, not quite. I mean it's not even in Ireland. You get scenes in England but the leprechaun in question was an ordinary looking man named Pat (Dick O'Neill) but yes, a pot of gold was the object of the baddies of the week. As someone who hates the Londinium three parter in Batman 66, I didn't have high hopes for this one but I found it a lot brtter than that aformentioned three parter. Oh and that's a little bit of Christmas in this one. 7/10

Episode 47: Gault's Brain 


I swear this episode might have unintentionally inspired the future Doctor Who story Mindwarp. You've got a dying rich guy named Harlow Gault (John Carradine) who decided he wanted a younger body to continue his life. That younger body being the rather athletic Morton Danzig (David Mason Daniels). Throughout the episode, Morton gets duped into thinking he was on to a good thing until he encountered a giant brain and nearly had Harlow's consciousness inside him. Fortunately Wonder Woman came to his rescue and his worst outcome was a terrible wig by the end of the episode. 7/10

Next blog I'll tackle the episodes Going Going Gone, Spaced Out, The Starships Are Coming and Amazon Hot Wax.
