So they have an actress for the new Wonder Woman tv project, which I hope to change the franchise in a big way, & void any long-term influence of the JMS NuWondy. Possibly also scramble everything else we knew of Wondy (Myndi Mayer under 40? Really?), but evs.

Adrianne Palicki.

I like that she has moderately dark grey eyes, instead of those freakish pale blue eyes Lynda Carter had. And I'm amused that our Venusian perfection has a definite asymmetrical freckle on the bridge of her nose.

But mostly, I'm glad they didn't go for someone who looks like Lynda Carter. For that matter, she doesn't look like most artists' renditions of Di--a neat trick considering what a wide range of likenesses Di has had. Well & good; she's an actress playing a role, not a flawless embodiment.

Kind of busty for that one bit in the pilot script, though.

We can realize that our smartness is not inherent, and do things to protect and increase that collective intellect.

Or we can claim we're smart, and sit back and relax while everyone laps us around the track.
