Hurray for Lynda Commentary!

Warning: Spoilers
My teenage idol is missing

Reputedly the 3rd series is where the big changes take place. Less and less Steve with one ep having none of him at all, a more serious WW who leaves behind many of the features we've come to associate with her (no Amazons, no invisible plane etc), the series confident enough to now continue on it's own mythology. Also less and less of Diana in glasses and her hair looks slightly different. Must say I'd never heard of Leif Garrett before watching this, unfortunately according to Wiki he seems to have sunk into heroin addiction since. Lynda's commentary is great, she seems to be full of warmth for him. She seems wistful for the way she used to look back then (don't worry Lynda, you're still a fox) and points out that we see WW in her cape once more, conveniently covering up the WW stuntwoman's harness as she climbs up the side of the building in true Batman style. Motorbiking WW again and Lynda admits that whilst she rode the bike on screen she left the jumps to her stuntwoman, the studio obviously having learnt their lesson from Anschluss 77. Beyond that we have young girls obsessed with pop stars again as we saw in The Pied Piper. Interestingly Lynda thinks that WW's life is incomplete because she doesn't have children? 7/10 but better with Lynda's commentary, wish we had more

AN ENTRY TO THE THIRD SEASON WITH TEEN STARS
asalerno1015 May 2022
This Season 3 entry isn't very creative, but it does have the benefit of featuring siblings Dawn Lyn and Leif Garrett. She was a very popular star at that time who had already participated in countless series and he was at the height of his singing career, so both were an ideal hook for the teenage public to tune in to this first episode and get a good impact and audience. In the story it is simple and somewhat unlikely, it deals with the kidnapping of the singer of the moment to ask for a large ransom from his representatives but the criminals do not count on the fact that the original can be replaced by his twin brother, both were separated as children, and all this lead to the fraternal reunion.

Wonder Woman now becomes a promotion of teenage singer!!!!
elo-equipamentos12 December 2019
Sorry for Wonder Woman series, now it becomes in a vehicle to promotion teenager singers, what's coming next? Lost a credibility with their fans, it's quite sure that had a strategic guidance for younger audience, the plot is really preposterous, a promising teenager singer was kidnapped nearby his next show at Los Angeles, the ransom is two millions bucks, however the promoter has a stunt of the singer, a perfect carbon copy, more he is also a singer too, well I must to stop here after so foolish plot, the results everybody knows, Wonder Woman saves him, to make it worst on final scene we have to hear a double action of both singers, an overdose even Leif Garret was an average pop star, not for your music at all, that really crap, but he was a sex symbol by many girls on those time!!

Resume:

First watch: 2019 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 5

Mediocre episode starts off third season
armansyal20 August 2022
The first episode in the third and final season is about a teenage popstar who gets kidnapped and put up for ransom. The new theme is great and in my opinion better than the previous one. As for the action, there was very little of it other than a cool scene at a junkyard. Nonetheless, this season looks to be better and more fun than the second season; that is, if it chooses to be more silly and cheesy with it's storylines.
