While I never considered her to be a great actress, I viewed Linda Carter as being one of the better ones. Whenever I saw her portraying Wonder Woman, she seemed to have zilch acting skills. As Wonder Woman’s alter ego, she seemed to do a good job. I often wondered (no pun intended) if she was so unconvinced of the Wonder Woman concept & persona that she could not do it well. I imagined her as stifling laughter and/or being embarassed at the ridiculousness of the concept. Does anybody else at this forum have similar impressions of Linda Carter as Wonder Woman?
` Anybody who couldn't be "convinced" by topnotch plot devices like the episode where the nazis invaded Paradise Island intent on seizing the magic bracelet metal mines the better to produce invulnerable panzer hulls is simply not a team player, IMHO. Think about it, though - how could anybody take the thing seriously ? I mean - it was based on a comic book. The costume screamed "cheesecake". More easily seen in hindsight, of course, involvement in this show probably guaranteed the curse of typecasting as a "bimbo" bereft of any talent but filling the bustier cups of the aforementioned outfit. Can't for the life of me recall what the first role Carter landed after the demise of this ''television blockbuster'', but didn't she pretty much disappear for a time afterword ? On the other hand... she smilin', ja, ja... "Get us out from under, Wonder Woman. . ." Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I should have known something was up when I was getting turned on at nine and ten by the Wonder Woman Underoos. You know, like that whole bit of Frankenfurter's. What? Would you rather have the simmering, pent-up me back? I don't have time to give serious consideration to the bloody news anymore. Nor religion. Maybe when I'm permanently reattached to the network, yeah, because then the coincidence of desire and leisure will have better odds. But nothing's changed. The president is still an idiot, the Christians are unsettling me more and more of late, and my wagons are circled around my core principles while the rest of my life goes through a mildly-traumatic reshuffling softened only by a steady diet of medical mindbending. Strangers with effing candy, says me. Hello, world. Hello, walls. Just nod and grin. And wonder who will rock you to sleep tonight when the suggestion of Tiassa and Wonder Woman Underoos simply will not cease to stain the insides of your eyelids. There. Are you happy now?
` Only you could turn visions of Wonder Woman's ass into a bawl-a-thon concerning your personal conundrums & whatnot - albeit an uncharacteristically brief one... you feelin' OK ? Stash a bit low ? It's covered. I'll nod off with a grin picturing this: (Guess where you sittin', sunshine... heh, heh, heh...) Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

Feelin' Minnesota? Better than I have in a long time. It's taken care of. In fact, that's the problem with being a killjoy. You wouldn't know Joy if she rimmed you. But ... just to make my point .... :m: (cough!) :m: Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! A bit morbid, I suppose. Feelin' okay? Self-esteem in a hole? Don't mistake Death for Joy. The bliss of a martyr is as quiet as the bliss of a victim. Were it a topic of merit, I might feel guilty. But as with other things, you wouldn't know humor if it slapped you with ten inches of joy. Wipe your mouth when you're done. But to contribute to the topic, some may be overlooking Lynda Carter's place in the "fresh-scrubbed, wholesome girl-next-door" mania. Of course, you wouldn't know wholesome even if you were about to stain it with the seed of your killjoy. Acting? Who cares? The whole point was to outshine Lindsay Wagner.
