"DISCO
DEVIL" Air Date: October 20, 1978. In "Disco Devil",
a disco "king" named Infra red has come up with a
unique means of discerning what he needs to learn.
He opens a disco club, promising the ultimate
experience for patrons, and then, while they're
dancing the night away, he uses his ability to learn
the secrets of their mind. The fact that many of his
patrons are government officials, makes this
particular plan a threat to national security.
"SEANCE OF TERROR" Air Date: March 10, 1978. "Séance
of Terror" takes a more supernatural bent, as a
young boy who has the ability to create "psychic
photographs" - images that are able to see the
future or the true motivations of those who are
captured within them - is being used to manipulate
power brokers around the world, and threaten
international peace talks. Wonder Woman must remove
this child from the mix, stop those who have been
using him and try and give the child a normal life.
*** Popular motion pictures inspiring television
series to "pay homage" to them was certainly not
something that was new to the medium in the 1970s,
and Wonder Woman was no exception. Several months
before this episode was originally aired, John
Travolta was burning up movie screens in the film
that helped launch the disco phenomenon, Saturday
Night fever. Portraying Infra red in the episode was
Wolfman Jade the popular radio disc jockey who
viewers can see on film in George Lucas' American
Graffitti. "Seance of Terror" serves as a
suspenseful and somewhat frightening episode, whose
protagonist in some ways predate the kid who sees
dead people in the feature film The Sixth Sense.
Wonder Woman didn't often delve into the realm of
the supernatural but when it did, it usually
resulted in an episode that stood out from the
rest.". |
