Seance of terror

[coltras35 · 7/10 · 15 April 2022]

A young boy's extraordinary ability to contact the 'other world' haunts a vital peace conference when three delegates are spirited away and Diana finds herself the scapegoat for a breach in security. But ghosts are never quite what they seem.... or are they?

A spooky episode that keeps your attention and features some cool WW moments such as rolling off a conveyor belt. The atmosphere is quite good, and the acting from the boy is really good. He blushes at the end when WW kisses him. Lucky sod!

NOTHING WE HAVE NOT SEEN BEFORE

An organization that responds to anarchist interests develops a sophisticated plan to sabotage a peace meeting to be held in Washington. To do this, he uses the paranormal powers of a teenager and convinces those attending the event that their deceased loved ones want to communicate with them through a spiritualist session. The episode could have been more interesting than it was, its development has little suspense and the ending is quite predictable.

Spooky-ooky

Seance of Terror Spiritualism on Wonder Woman. Diana is a believer in magic whilst Steve is the skeptic. Surprising considering he's seen what Wonder Woman can do and there's no rational explanation for that. Great scene where Diana manages to spin into Wonder Woman by rolling off the conveyor belt but by the time she's recovered the villains are gone, defies your expectations. Psychic photography was all the rage in the late 70s and also during the Victorian era, no less than Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle a believer. Does Diana ever pick up an object that doesn't knock her out? (TWICE!) Steve actually takes Diana off the case and tells her to have a holiday, their argument about it all quite heated. That's one BAD wig Lynda wears in her merry widow role. Unusual to have an episode of a show with such a large kids following dealing with the occult, nowadays you think the Christian right would be outraged. Once again this is another storyline used in The New Avengers, a lot of similarities between the 2 series. If Mathew's power is real why does his guardian need to rip people off, surely his kid's powers are amazing enough to make money from anyway? At the end of the ep Steve makes Diana take a holiday, does she go back to Paradise Island to visit her family? 5/10
