The Christmas Experiment 2016 Hours 9+10: We Wish You a Wonder Woman Christmas

Time for some Wonder Woman. Yes, Wonder Woman. At Christmas.

Wonder Woman: You remember how we just had Cronenberg body horror? Well, we got more.  We're watching the 70s Lynda Carter Wonder Woman which had a Christmas episode. It's kind of awesome.

In this episode, some scientists have been replaced with androids. One of them melt right in front of a group of people into a puddle of goo and robot pieces. It's creepy as all get out. It keeps on happening also. At one point, Wonder Woman chases a man running out of a room and when she lassos him, he melts also. This is the most body horror Christmas ever!

One of the things I loved about the 70s Wonder Woman series is that they had the bathing suit costume but she was still an important character. Oh sure, it had camp but no more than say The Bionic Woman or any other 70s action series.

Anyway, the villain this time is an evil Toy Maker, played by Frank Gorshin, who is planning.... something. Not quite sure but it works. He even makes a Wonder Woman android. I... I'm really not looking forwards to her melting.

Anyway, Wonder Woman gets kidnapped.  When she escapes, we get Robot Wonder Woman vs Real Wonder Woman. Naturally, there's no way to tell the difference unless you know how this always works. The heroes win, it's all good.

The OC: You might wonder what any of this has to do with Wonder Woman? Well, this episode, "The Greatest Chrismukah Ever" has the character of Summer dress up as Wonder Woman. I'd post a picture but nah. The OC was that series that started just as I went into College so I don't have as much knowledge of it. Outside of Julie Cooper being awesome. Because she is.

The crux has to do with Adam Brody's character celebrating a mega-holiday because one parent is Jewish, the other is Christian. There's some other drama that I can barely be bothered to care about. It's teenage drama that meh.

Non-Viewing Thoughts: I really want some Chicken parm. Like, good Chicken Parm that's crispy around the edges, nicely breaded. Need to stop. Getting hungry.

Late Christmas Ideas: The ability to better appreciate being single and alone at Christmas.

Notable Commercials: I saw a commercial for something called V.I.Poo which is apparently just stuff to make your bathroom smell better after... well... someone poos. They suggest giving it to everyone you know for Christmas. Yeah, how about no?
