WONDER WOMAN’s Best: A Look at the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman As Part of Watchtower of Babel’s Seven Days of Wonder Woman Celebration, it’s time to take a look at the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman series. The series was developed for Television by Stanley Ralph Ross (who also wrote for the Adam West Batman series and it shows) was produced by Love Boat Producer Douglas S Cramer (and it shows) and starred Lynda Carter (duh!) and Lyle Waggoner (playing both Steve Trevor and Later Steve Trevor Jr and we’ll get to that.)

SPOILER REVIEW: Arrow: 5.11 “Second Chances”
Here we go. Please bear with me. I’m new here, I’m a huge fan of Arrow, with a need for a slight romantic vibe, so needless to say, I want Oliver to be with Felicity, but we can get to that some other time. I’ve watched this show from day one, so I’ve been with it through all of its good days and bad days. In my opinion, there’s more good than bad, so I will disagree with many critics of this show. But down to business. This week’s episode covered the introduction of the (potential) new black canary. I’m extremely partial to Katie Cassidy’s portrayal of her, so I…

Mid-Season Recap: ARROW Season 5
Warning: This review contains mild spoilers. Arrow season five has brought the show back to its roots. Oliver works alone (with Felicity as tech support), and he’s doing everything he can to stop crime in Star City. This whole set up is similar to the show’s first season. With Diggle out of the picture and Thea retired; Oliver needs all the help he can get. Felicity wants to build team Arrow from the ground up, and convinces Oliver to recruit new allies, but Oliver isn’t to keen on the idea of having new partners – especially after losing Laurel. Oliver does listen to Felicity and recruits Rene Ramirez (Wild Dog),…

Recap: SUPERGIRL S1 Finale “Better Angels”
WARNING: This review contains spoilers. The season has finally come to a close, and boy it was a doozy. We pick up right where we left off. Alex and Kara are in a battle to the death, and it’s very reminiscent of the fight in a certain Blockbuster movie released last month. Anyways, the fight is over fairly quickly and it ends with Mrs. Danvers giving a speech that brings Alex from get mind control. This leads into the symbol of Hope speech Kara gives in her broadcast across National City. I’m kinda iffy on the speech Kara gives; in fact this whole scenario fell flat. The entire city is going…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 2×16 – “Trajectory”
The Flash (2×16) – “Trajectory” Written by: Lilah Vanderburgh & Lauren Certo Directed by: Glen Winter Okay! So between working thirteen days in a row, a little indie film I went and saw about the Dawn (Go ahead, ask me if I loved Batman v Superman!) and winter’s parting gift of a chest cold I’m not exactly timely with my Flash review but enough with the procrastination and on with the review. When we last left Barry and Team Flash he’d vowed to get fast enough to return to Earth-2, defeat Zoom and avenge Jay’s death. What better way to do that than recreate Evel Knievel at the Snake River…
