Electra Awesome?

If you're a child of the 70s, you may remember the short-lived campy Saturday morning live-action, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. Did you know there was an attempt to reboot the show in 2001 for the CW? The unaired pilot starred Markie Post (Night Court) as Electra Woman (played by Deidre Hall in the original series). We find EW has fallen on hard times since her hey-days in the 70s. Dyna Girl ran off with her husband, and now she's a bitter, disillusioned, promiscuous alcoholic living in a mobile home park. A young woman who EW rescued 10 years earlier is determined to get her clean, sober and back in the superhero biz. So... yeah, if you want to watch, here it is.

And there are those whose objections have a physiological basis as well as an ideological one: the pitch and timbre of her voice, the rhythms of her speech, her syntax, and the way she coats acid and incoherence with cheery musical inflections join together in a sickening synergy that distresses the listener, triggering a fight-or-flight reaction. When Palin talks, my whole being wails, like Nancy Kerrigan after Tonya Harding’s ex-husband kneecapped her: “Why? Why? Why?”
