This Was a Kids' Show???

Title of the review aside I thought this was a fantastic episode dealing with the mature topic of stalking and obsession in a Superman-ish way. Sure it ends in fisiticuffs between Supes and the villain but the real hero is Lois who works tirelessly to unmask the perpetrator behind increasingly unhinged and elaborate attempts on her life all while dealing with the psychological anguish of knowing a technologically sophisticated maniac is out there wishing her harm- the dream sequence in which a shadowy male attacker invades her apartment and launches her off her own balcony is particularly harrowing.

Oh yeah, and just because I will likely never have another forum to mention it my golly LL as drawn here and voiced by Dana Delaney is such a megababe. Wowza.

Not a strong episode for Lois and Supes

Hang on, so it's just going to be a series of Lois Lane attacks through the infernal episode? Falling from heights, runaway car, runaway elevator? This is one of the low points of the Superman: The Animated Series. Better episodes before and after. Keep watching this and Justice League.

Check out those laser beams at the end? They go smaller, wider, smaller.

I'm glad they addressed how Superman always shows up when Lois is in danger. A valid question.

I'm glad Lex wasn't the villian in this case. And I'm glad there were a few red herrings: could it be Lex? Could it be a rival journalist? Could it be? It did keep us guessing, but not strong enough.
