Wunderfrauline
Here's where I'm coming from---my wife sort of wishes she could be the Wonder Woman.
Ergo! I have watched a good portion of the "First Season" on DVD,
have invested countless unwitting dollars to the cause of a small
collection of Wonder Woman dolls, have told the wife from time to time,
"Baby, you know you look just like Wonder Woman," etc.
(Incidentally, isn't this
annoying?) (Yes, that's the word "this" in a "yellow"
font.) ("THIS" is a paragraph of parenthetical
"STATEMENTS.")
The section on the Golden Lasso of Truth was particularly
stimulating, in that I found it enjoyable to imagine different people I
know getting lassoed, and how they would respond. Incidentally,
everybody I imagined in the situation was saying, "Man, you're hot," in
their own unique way, much as---I have to argue---ANYONE would, being
under not only the very Golden Lasso of Truth, but also the steely,
blue-eyed gaze of one Linda Carter!
All things considered, the best argument I could ever come up with
for re-making Wonder Woman is this: those episodes I watched on DVD
were terrible. It literally COULD NOT be worse. But here's
the real deal-breaker---
There's no replacing Linda Carter.
