Goofs

In reference to Diana's changing into Wonder Woman while wearing a nightgown then arriving at work in her work clothes, Wonder Woman has been seen transforming into various outfits via her transformation "spin" in various other episodes so it is not necessarily a continuity "goof" to imagine that she might also be able to do so with her Diana Prince outfits.

Quotes

Steve Trevor, Jr.: [viewing the Malakarian reception on a TV screen] Wonder Woman would have loved this.
Diana Prince: Oh Steve, she's... she's probably seen it all before. With the original cast.
[both laugh, freeze frame on Diana's radiant smile]

User Reviews

OK as it goes

The Queen and the Thief David Hedison and John Calicos, two famous faces from 1970s fantasy. Hedison the only man to have played Felix Leiter twice in the Bond films and also naval officers in 'Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea' and 'The Enemy Below' (both used in The Bermuda Triangle Crisis). John Calicos the original Baltar from Battlestar Galactica. For all the show's feminist credentials when it comes to going undercover Diana is still the domestic servant and Steve still gets to be the President of the American/Malakar Cultural Association. But it does mean we have Diana in a rather fetching maid's outfit. We also have her turning into Wonder Woman and leaping her way to work just because she's a bit late in the morning (does Bruce Wayne use the Batmobile when he's late for board meetings?) For once it's Steve who get's chloroformed. Aside from that not much remarkable or to be recommended for it 5/10
