I like the final look, the WW costume turned out pretty nice (at least from the knees up)...as did Erica Durance.

Guess they had to get use out of that costume somehow.
Not that I'm complaining....

It would have been more meta if they got the actress who was going to play WW to do it but not complaining on who they got.

It's not too often when you work at a job where you get to have fun with your bosses over something like this. I think it's cool David E. Kelley was able to rub their noses in it by having a cameo of his version of Wonder Woman on his other show. 
I won't quibble here about who would have been a better actress to play Wonder Woman or whether the show was really going to suck or not. I'll just say that as good as Lynda Carter was the only way there will ever be another Wonder Woman show is if the fans give someone else a chance at the role. The only thing that really bothers me about the failure of Kelley's pilot is that the fanbois reacted -so- negatively to it that it'll likely be years before anyone risks trying it again, even if the next person who wants to try it has a really good vision for it.

Comics Alliance expertly dissects Kelley's epic trollery: "To recap: a performer everyone loves for playing a character everyone loves on a show that everyone hates appearing as yet another version of a character everyone loves (and wants her to play legitimately) on a show that nobody watches and wearing a costume everyone hates from a show that nobody will ever see."|

In any case, this is what Erica Durance's Wonder Woman costume looked like the previous time she dressed in one:
That article was brilliant.
Oh, and for the record, I watch "Harry's Law" and I love it.
Well for the record I never once said that I thought Kelley's vision of Wonder Woman was perfect or that I thought his show was a guaranteed success. I simply believed it deserved a chance to be on the air.
The problem with this Internet age we live in is that the fanbois were not only able to rip Kelley's pilot apart before the studio suits had a chance to decide on it but they reacted -so- negatively to it that I suspect the networks won't even bother to give anyone else a stab at the franchise for a very long time. Everyone's hatred of Kelley's show not only prevented him from having a chance but probably poisoned the entire idea of Wonder Woman for anyone else.
When faced with another decade or two of NO Wonder Woman at all I almost would have liked to have seen a few episodes of Kelley's questionable attempt at it. *sigh*

I think it's hard to just start off a TV show about Wonder Woman with "BAM" here she is in XYZ city fighting crime. I think with the lore of Wonder Woman a TV series would have to begin most of its first season in Themyscira and then move into the World of Man after that.
Maybe Adrianne Palicki was poorly cast because...even though this is a bit unfair... Durance just looks far better in that costume.
Also the Smallville amazon costume has always looked bad to me

Makes you realize that even if Adrianne Palicki wasn't perfect and/or a fan favorite there could have always been something worse out of Kelley's show.

So....David Kelley needs to create a new show featuring Erica Durance in skimpy outfits........and she fights crime while believing that she's Wonder Woman, and it may or may not turn out that she actually is WW.

That's all you really had to say.

So basically a show with ED in it spending a lot of time in the hospital for getting getting beat up and knocked out on a regular basis. She could co-star on any of the 10 dramas dealing with doctors/emergency rooms etc. |

Wow... that is horrible. Bad CG, Bad fight choreography, bad characterization which leads to bad acting. Seriously Live action Sailor Moon looks better than that...
