Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman

Adrianne looks kind of tired. I'm sure it's because this was taken on a day where she had to run across the street over and over again, but I'm also sure being part of this show is exhausting. It's a ton of scrutiny -- so far, none of it good -- and a whole lot of tight pants.

"... oh my God, you guys, this job is like Halloween EVERY SINGLE DAY, except I can't eat any of the damn candy. FAIL."

On the one hand, I wonder if they really designed this thing with much thought to what it would look like when Wonder Woman is running.

And then I thought, "Of course they gave it thought -- they just thought different things than I do." For instance, they probably thought men ages 18-35 would pass out when her boobs threatened to pop out of the corset like that.

Whereas MY thought was, "This is Exhibit A for why women wear sports bras."

I feel like this new Wonder Woman show has to be doomed. Right? Firstly, if there's one thing NBC has proven, it's that it doesn't know how to revamp an old classic (its Bionic Woman was just ponderous and awful, and Knight Rider was a hideous embarrassment, even though Justin Bruening is cute, and ahoy, he appears to have been cast in WW now too), and secondly, it's David E Kelley, which I fear means that Wonder Woman herself will be a total neurotic mess who sees dancing babies and requires constant external validation in order to do anything, and also stammers through all her lines. Indeed, the external validation thing seems to be right on track, even though it has nothing to do with poor old Adrianne Palicki: As soon as this photo was released of the original "fresh take" on the iconic costume, everyone freaked out because it's a crazy blend of cheap, cheesy, and trashy, so the show revamped it by scrapping the latex pants and blue heeled boots in favor of a more... breathable material, red flat shoes, and less lipstick. The result: not much better, and unfortunately, I think it's because the corset makes her boobs look weaponized. And when she runs... well. [poll id="2102"] [Photos: Pacific Coast News]
