ORIGINAL AND VERY GOOD.

From the beginning the episode is strange and shows a great mystery to solve. On the street Wonder Woman saves a child from being hit by a car but ends up injured and unconscious. Once taken to a hospital we discover that it is an impostor, Diana tries to discover the plot that is hidden behind this curious fact. An entertaining and well-told episode, it keeps the mystery of the true purposes of the villains until the end.

Doubles all round

Stolen Faces Another Wonder Woman double and frankly a not too convincing one. It seems that WW is not only known to the general public but they're also aware of her link to the IADC, the Dr treating the fake Wonder Woman phoning them when she's brought in. One interesting factor of this ep is that Diana actually seems to check out Roman as he walks down the corridor. Is she suspicious or interested? The plot makes absolutely no sense whatsoever but that really isn't that unusual. You think she'd have saved herself a lot of trouble by just throwing the lasso around the first impersonator and forcing her to tell her the plan. A nice little feature is Diana and Steve all dolled up at the end going out to a fancy restaurant, a date? 5/10

The most lines Lyle Waggoner has had in a while

Unfortunately, that does not improve this episode.

This is a very slow moving episode, with barely any plot, and has been noted, barely any Wonder Woman.

Maybe the license for the Wonder Woman character included a dialogue word count, and they were running low on money?

The concept was interesting, with the double take on having the audience robbed by actors, who are then in turn "arrested" by other actors, and the loot taken as evidence by the fake Steve Trevor.

Of course this is foiled by the appearance of the real Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor.

This is not a well written episode. Too much time wasted, and bad decisions by the characters.

For example, when the car is coming at Diana on roof of the parking structure, why not move out of the way by sliding over the hood of one of the two cars, instead of jumping over the wall?

The character of Todd is a kind of a stalker who is turned in to a kind of a hero?

Most of the acting is very muted, not much above just reading their lines.

There is also not much suspense or danger, and very little action.

As far as the "goof" of Nancy tripping, hitting the trash cans and being knocked unconscious, it may look like a simple trip and fall, but if the character had hit her head on the sidewalk, it could have resulted in a serious head injury. People in real life have died in similar situations.
