This season leaves behind Diana's origins on Paradise Island instead just dealing with the villain of the week. It often enters science fiction territory with stories about aliens or living brains. But there are also the episodes that deal strictly with international intrigue like "Hot Wheels" or "Stolen Faces." And I must mention a personal favorite, "Amazon Hot Wax." As a cross promotion for her recent record, Lynda Carter gets to sing two songs in this fun episode. The show winds down with Diana moving to California and the IADC branch there. While presented in their original broadcast order, I'm guessing that "The Man Who Could Not Die" was intended to air last since it introduces us to the characters I'm sure would have been regulars had the series continued. "Phantom of the Roller Coaster," meanwhile, finds Diana back in DC with no explanation of why she's there. Of course, that episode is fun for me since "Fun Universe" is really an amusement part I've been to many times here in town. Once again, we have a great set for fans. The 24 episodes collected on four double-sided discs in full frame and stereo sound. We are treated to a commentary from Lynda Carter on the first episode in the set, "My Teenage Idol is Missing," which is worth a listen although it doesn't need your undivided attention. Also included is a 13-minute documentary on Wonder Woman as a feminist icon, a topic I had never really even thought about before. Yes, the fashions still seem laughable today. And there definitely are some over the top episodes ("Formicida" springs to mind), but these are kept to a minimum this time around. Ultimately, fans of the show will enjoy watching these episodes again and those without fond memories will probably best look elsewhere.

Saving the World One Last Time
Review date: 2005-08-08 Rating: 10 out of 10
Wonder Woman is back with one last season of adventures saving the world from the forces of evil. These 24 episodes pick up where season 2 left off with Diana Prince as a field agent for the IADC. She's confident, capable, and always gets her man. Of course, it helps that she has a secret identity as Wonder Woman.
