However, the utterly appalling dialogue in those two clips might have quite a lot to do with why it was cancelled... Can nobody write a believable conversation anymore?

Which reminded me -- I've read somewhere that DC editor Julius Schwartz wouldn't let his writers use the verb FLICK or name a character CLINT.

Here is a link (from Google search). (this is not fake)
www.seedpeer.com/details/3683694/Wonder-Woman-2011-Pilot.html
Personal Review:
Well the episode looked pretty good, some awful dialogue aside (but hey, I never expected shakespeare here:)). Personally Adrianne looked really good in the part and its a shame it never got picked up.
It is unfinished (wirework showing in some scenes), but overall looks pretty complete. The runtime is only 45mins (though there were rumors that it was going to be 2hrs) and apart from the scenes already shown, not really much else in terms of WW in action.
But, hey, take a look for yourselves and see what you think
Peace.

And then there is the unresolved relationship with Steve Trevor and the loneliness of her secret identity. A woman, not exactly of this Earth, who lives with a cat and has no friends as Diana Prince. A woman living three lives, two of them very public and exciting, and one crushingly private. Yet its the Diana Prince identity that she holds most dear. That's somehow the real her. She's a bit lost and lonely in "man's world".
I also liked the focus on her manifesting clinical schizophrenic tendencies, and of people reminding her of that. Her sidekicks were very much the kind of people you'd hope to find in corporate America. I enjoyed that. (I tried a play on that theme in a Powergirl story I shared a few months ago, although I might have gone too far with the craziness in terms of PG.) I believe that deliberate (but still clinical) schizophrenia is part of the whole superhero/alter-ego equation, and this show did justice to it.
Also, they did a good job with winking at the obsession men have with Amazonian figures, not to mention more than few references to "feeling her muscles". The writers and producers largely "get" the superheroine genre. They weren't working with perfect pitch for the genre, but closer than anything else I've seen lately.
Hopefully this series will get picked up at some point. I think it has legs (and not just Miss Palicki's!) and I think it would be popular for many viewers, and not just to manic fans of superheroines like ourselves.
But of course, the WW fans mostly hated it. Too bad. I'm sure it would go the same way if they brought a Supergirl show to the screen where she tried to fit into the 21st century. Personally, I think its vital that TV characters are portrayed in the culture they live in, today, and not just redo them in terms of decades old perceptions.
In fact, that's the great fun of writing stuff related to this... trying to put a 21st century face on an iconic heroine.
Anyway... enough said. I liked it and would definitely watch the series if it was produced. For my part, I thought it was very complimentary toward both our favorite genre and the WW character.

Unfortunatly is one of those attempts that crushed against an extremly divided and complex fandom. This is a very modern rendition of WW, one that has to measure up to other TV shows (Xena and Buffy in particular) not to mention a more psychotic and complex image of the superhero. Is it a possible 21st century version of WW?
Yes and no. The authors have tried to do an operation similar to the latest Marvel movies, a condensate of the character inserted ina contemporary context. Unfortunatly the request for a more clasic approach and the general distrust of TV networks toward action-girl production (despite the above examples) trashed a very good product.

I'm obviously disappointed not to have seen more action scene where she uses her strength, though the big one action scene was great.
But the good thing is that Adriane is very pretty and woawo... She is very tall when she's wearing high heels !: a real amazon!

She looked awesome in the pilot. Action scenes were great as well. I am telling you if Argo,Lfan,
DKC and I had teamed up to write we could have done a 100 times better job. It was god awful!
A guy is knocked out on the ground doing his job providing security and she kills him? It is not like he just raped a girl and threw her off a building and landed with splat. She objects to her look alike doll having "Tits" (her words) that are too big and then like 5 minutes later tells a cop that "This outfit opens a lot of doors for me", as she wants to get into a guy's hospital room to torture him. The news lady on TV talks about her "Lasso of truth." If she has a lasso of truth, why doesn't she use it to get the info instead of torturing the guy? She is a smoking hot super babe, and on match dot com lists her only friend as her cat?
I think this thing was written by Rumsfield and Chenny!
What a waste of a beautiful actress, kick ass fight and special effects scenes and a great final costume!
How much money did NBC waste on Pile of you know what?

The difference with WW, and this is key, is that unlike Spiderman and Superman, who lived their lives as ordinary people for a long time before becoming super, WW was born a goddess. She travels to a strange place, Man's World, and arrives as a full blown action figure. She then has to learn how to live an ordinary life, which is very hard for her. She wasn't born to be ordinary, yet she's trying to be just that as Diana Prince.
Of course, as that one scene shows were she's walking into her apartment complex dressed as Diana Prince, and the camera is following her perfect backside, watching her hips work overtime along with those long legs, I can't believe she'd be lonely for long. But that lonely, misunderstood alterego thing is a required trait for superheroes, per most of the comic books over the years. Spiderman and Superman were mostly duds in their alterego lives, despite being fabulous in costume.
It also opens the door to explore the what happens when a love-interest lives in both their super and their alterego lives. The way that creates conflict. They were setting the stage for that.
I enjoyed the idea of her objecting to being exploited with a doll with too big of tits, and objecting to being called an action hero, yet she dresses and acts to emphasize exactly those traits. Its part of the writer's view of a conflicted WW, stuck somewhere between her world and man's world. She knows how men respond to her, and she wants to use that, but she doesn't want to be objectified. We all know you can't have it both ways, but its a theme the comics have touched on but rarely developed very well. It was over simplified in the pilot, especially the "this costume opens doors" comment that was way too blatant. We know it does, but she doesn't have to say that. That was a major goof in my mind.
Then there is the relationship with Steve Trevor, someone she lived with for two years and then dumped. Her reasons make no sense to the viewer (or Steve Trevor, who still doesn't understand why he got dumped). But that's part of her "complexity and conflict" thing that the full series would have been able to explore and resolve, but not in one episode. Clearly she and Steve would somehow get together again in the series, but not until lots of romance-novel style problems are overcome.
In my opinion, yuou can't view a pilot as anything more than setting the stage for the story that's coming, which makes it very frustrating when the rest of the story never comes. My take is the writing was pretty good for a pilot that was intended to create questions about the character which would be answered during the full series. To create inconsistencies and conflicts that could be solved later, keeping the viewer hooked all along the way.
