The Secrets of Isis: Difference between revisions

* [[Contrived Coincidence]]: So, Andrea Thomas is (implied to be) a descendant of the Egyptian queen Hatshepsit and thus heir to the amulet and the powers of the goddess Isis. Well, it's a good thing then that '''she''' found the amulet on that archeological dig, rather than someone who might have used it for evil -- or, at best, put it in a museum. To be fair, this can be easily [[Hand Wave|Handwaved]] as the gods making sure the amulet winds up with its rightful owner.

* [[Glasses Pull]]: Andrea does this more often than her bespectacled superhero contemporaries... and yet her friends '''still''' can't see through her disguise.

* [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]: Isis would usually appear within the last five minutes of the episode.

* [[Expy]]: Isis has been described as a [[Wonder Woman]] ripoff.

* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: The [[And Knowing Is Half the Battle|moral lessons]] from each episode were excised when the show went into syndication. That is to say, they were excised from the '''master reels''', and were subsequently lost. The DVD release included as many as they could scrounge, mostly from third-generation re-dubs and over-the-air recordings.

** The series DVD set might also count, as it is now out of print. But it can still be found.

* [[Opening Narration]]

* [[Poorly-Disguised Pilot]]: The series' only two-part episode, "Now You See It"/"Now You Don't", was intended as a pilot for a spinoff series involving teen sleuths. [[Vaporware|It never materialized.]]
