ingra88 Please people who read this get one thing straight, you should not base the looks and design of the TV wonder woman on Lynda Carter! She played wonder Woman doesn't mean every one has to be like her!Adrianne Palicki is perfect for the roll, why not? She has the height and build of a amazon! she's tough and thats what counts, the 1970's version was too politically correct to meet TV censorship of that time! Were in the 21 century now get over it!Her acting was OK, its the overall story line that holds everything and everyone back preventing them showing their true potential!Funnily enough, the action is very good, I enjoyed it very much, but the story line is crap and makes no sense what so ever, not the plot but the characterisation that the premise works around! A total rewrite of the story is needed with Adrianne she is suited to the part, Lynda Carter even endorsed her for the role!

chad snow I did watch the 70's Wonder woman several times and was a huge fan. This by all accounts blows 70's WW away. By today's standards WW of the 70's was very silly. Spinning into uniforms (motorcycle, swimming, etc...) silly sound effects when jumping, Iraq computer with dog that gets pulled around by fish wire. I always thought Linda Carter was a little soft to be WW (you could tell she did not workout) although she had a pretty smile. The Adrianne Palicki was a great choice, the was bad-A fighter and beautiful. They took out all the stuff that made WW 70's silly, like the spinning into uniform and expanded on other things like use of the lasso (not a cheesy truth machine, but as great fighting tool.) I just saw the latest GIJoe movie and "unimpressed and boring movie" but Adrianne Palicki was the best part about the whole thing and the only decent scenes were with her. Another great think I loved out the pilot is she practiced street justice. If someone was guilty using the law protect them, she would not care, she would still go after them.

Michelle Levine If I was not a major WW fan, I'd still have been bored to tears with this mealy-mouthed whiny production, but as a Wonder Woman fan, I'm OUTRAGED!!! Wonder Woman is NOT Superman, nor Batman - she is not simply out for the pursuit of justice, as portrayed here. WW left her home (Paradise Island/Themyscira) to come to man's world to teach us to live in peace and harmony - thus she is always written as an uplifting and inspiring character. As David E. Kelley dresses her down, she is more depressing and disappointing than Rachel Mcadams in the Notebook, which we find her watching.Many writers have portrayed Wonder Woman over the last 70 years in the DC Universe - and all agree that Wonder Woman avoids needless killing at all costs, yet David E. Kelley paints her as a heartless killer. In FACT, Diana is so amazing partly because she never needs to kill, nor torture people for information, as David E. Kelley also has her doing. THAT IS WHAT THE LASSO OF TRUTH IS FOR. Kelley's ignorant writers have her using it as a sort of high-tech cowgirl lasso, for reining loose criminals in, when in FACT, the LASSO IS HER BIGGEST POWER - when inside the lasso, one is COMPELLED to tell the truth, and even to SEE THE TRUTH whereas before their own perspective was clouded. What if they invented a new Superman who couldn't fly? a Green Lantern with no ring? THAT IS WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO WW by making her lasso a flaccid toy. The magic of the lass of truth is part of WW's on-screen magic - but making magic is apparently something Kelley and his team oppose on principle.WW fans the world over have blasted her awful pants suit, and while it's hard to imagine an intelligent person approving that outfit, I wouldn't disqualify the show based on her poor pants and plastic bracelets/headgear alone. I've been looking forward to the new incarnation of Wonder Woman WAY too long for that. No, sadly the problem is the writing, the direction, and the casting of Wonder Woman herself. Palicki is pretty enough that i can see why they AUDITIONED her, but to cast her? She is a good enough actress for a sitcom, but not for an iconic role like WW. She played her very mainstream mundane with zero charisma...her under-acting in the hospital scene with Willis and her response to hearing about his passing were so off-putting that it's clearly director-error to not at least try to get some emotion into this brunette barbie-girl. Clearly Palicki does not have the BASE HUMILITY to watch a few Lynda Carter episodes, to understand the type of magic she should be bringing to the production. Palicki belongs on Gossip Girl or One Tree Hill...not in the league of superheroes! If fans get our due and Whedon redoes this, he should bring back the original WW theme song, but rebooted, and play it for dramatic effect during a press conference that builds energy - this whole thing was so lacking in energy it almost put me to sleep. NOT the way you want to feel after watching A PILOT episode.

tkessandoh-851-824036 I will start my saying I own and have read pretty much every Wonder Woman comic. I also own all the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman DVDs.I saw this unfinished Pilot and liked it a lot. Kelley read the source material, he took the best and interesting parts of Wonder Woman Mythos and ran with it. The result is an interesting story which left a lot of unanswerd questions which is a good thing for a show expected to run at-least 3 seasons. Wonder Woman in this seemed very familiar to me but not so familiar that I could perdict her actions in future episodes.Kelley drops us smake dabb in Wonder Womans world this is not an origin story. Based on the publics reaction to Wonder Woman she has been on the scene for a while and people love her which gives her certain advantages when it comes to doing her job.Wonder Woman is un-questionably a vigilante but by definition all superheros are. The difference is that she does not hide from this fact. She identifies criminals and annonces her intentions to the public. Nobody stops her because she is extremely loved and has done so much good for the world. Her symbol is the lasso of truth which plays well in a world full deceit and corruption. The rich are protected while the poor suffer. Wonder Woman tackles this issue as only she can. No other superhero does this. Kelley illustrates this well.The fact that Wonder Woman is bold and completely transparent in her illegal vigilante actions calls into question some constitutional and legal issues of her behaviour. Which is a very good plot point for this show had it been picked up.This was a pretty good pilot which left me wanting more.
