The Boy Who Knew Her Secret: Part 1

The stories of aliens usurping bodies have already been done dozens of times both on television and in the movies, but they are always entertaining if they are done well. Here we have one of those well-told, well-made stories with some different ingredient that makes it different. To others. Diana travels to the town of Cristal Lake to investigate a strange phenomenon, the fall of 99 tetrahedrons from space. Upon contact with humans, these small pyramids seem to absorb their humanity and turn them into entities without will. This process is simple but quite terrifying since the suffering of the victims is noted when they are abducted against their will. At the end of the episode we have a cliffhanger where for the first time a human being is an eyewitness of the moment in which Diana transforms into Wonder Woman.

Every popular TV show and movie is built around a consistent character and premise that stays the same every episode. Radar doesn't imitate Groucho Marx or brew his own gin on MASH, that's Hawkeye's part. Superman and Wonder Woman never reveal their disguised character. But the last season comes, no one worries about the ratings, and it's always time to try something different. In the "different" episodes, it's sort of depressing to see Wonder Woman show up and look helpless while the bad guy gets away. So, I rated this show lower because it happened over so often. It's a nice parody of Invasion of Body Snatchers, but a bad misfit for the characters and it was too gruesome and violent for younger age groups, I thought. Plus, they could have avoided letting the guy think he knew Wonder Woman's secret from the way it ended.
