When people talk about strong female characters there's always one version of the Wonder Woman character that they never mention. Which is a shame because that's the version of the character that made the character as a whole popular with mainstream audiences and so then join me as I review the episode that saw a member of The Addams Family become a queen with the episode in question being called simply just "The Feminum Mystique" enjoy.
The plot of these episodes is Diana's sister comes to America looking to bring her sister home but when she's kidnapped and Paradise Island is attacked it's up to Wonder Woman to save the day before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good with this episodes plot being movie quality good because it's that good of a plot in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in these episodes is Lynda Carter as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman and Lyle Waggoner as Major Steve Trevor. Also starring in this episode is Richard Eastham as General Phil Blankenship , Beatrice Colen as Etta Candy , Debra Winger as Drusilla / Wonder Girl , John Saxon as Captain Radl , Carolyn Jones as The Queen , Charles Frank as Peter Knight , Paul Shenar as Lieutenant Wertz , Kurt Kreuger as Major Hemmschler , Curt Lowens as General Ulrich , Erica Hagen as Dalma , Pamela Shoop as Magda , Kurt Grayson as Harris , Jay Fenichel as Tommy , Brad Rearden as Joey and Rayford Barnes as Lt. Weil.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. With these episodes cast members all turning in some really good performances and all of them making the script for these episodes seems alot better then what it actually is and that will always be a very good thing.
This episode is the shows first ever two part episode with the show very rarely if ever having two part episodes. If there was any episode that needed to be a two parter this one really wasn't it since you very easily could have condensed the storyline of both episodes into the one episode but the fact that it was a two parter means that the story could feel alot more epic then what the standard episode of the show could have done.
Whilst the version of Wonder Girl that we get in this episode isn't the full creation of the character Drusilla is perhaps the most least known version of the character. Since when people think of Wonder Girl they rather rightfully think of Donner Troy but that doesn't mean that they should ignore this version of the character since Drusilla is naive but at the same time she's more then willing to do what's right even if it means that it will ultimately mean the end of her own life which does make her an oddly compelling character.
This episode does very sadly retcon it's first episode since in that episode it's established that Diana is an only child. Yet for some strange reason she's given a sister with no reason given as to this sudden change and while a small retcon like this isn't that bad the fact that it then leads to the N*zis finding out about Paradise Island the home of our hero the fact that this episode then made a retcon now seems like a big a issue since the enemies could now attack Wonder Woman's whenever they felt bored but sadly they don't do that but to this episodes credit the second part of this story does kind of explain why they don't attack paradise island.
I did notice what might be a mistake in this two parter since in the second part when Drusilla is about to deflect a bullet she puts her arm up way before a single bullet has even been shot. As such the commanding officer could have literally shot anywhere else around her to archive his goal this might be put down to the fact that Drusilla isn't a superhero like her sister but it is a very noticeable mistake and one that could have been fixed even n the day of filming the scene in question since all it does is make the overall show look pretty bad.
Now these episodes has / had an exact grand total combined running time of exactly one hour and thirty minuets. Which is a great amount if running time for this story to last since even tho this story would have been told if it was just thew single episode the fact that this story was told over two episodes made it feel all the more the epic then just the typical of this show and alot of that is due to the fact that it had roughly a whole extra hour in order to tell it's story which really did help the story flow alot better as well.
So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. Even more so when you take into account that this show was made on a small budget and yet all of the action scenes in this episode whilst they are kind of campy are still really cool and impressive to look at in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this was a rather fun two part episode that was way more epic then what it really should have been and it's an episode that just goes to show you just how good this show was when it was it's best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these very episodes in this very review and as such that means that these very episodes earn themselves a grand total combined score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Wonder Woman fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.
