  • Bolt from the blue debuts a useless character, Resplendent Man

    While Bolt from the blue did have its moments some of the content in this episode was kind of disturbing and ridiculous. I don't know why Resplendent Man was so perverted. It really didn't add to his character of a greedy and selfish old man in my opinion. Also I thought it was stupid that they had him have the opposite clothing of Superman. Since he's been on the bottom of the barrel in life I can only half understand why he charged those who he saved money. I am glad, however, that he did not use his owers for evil. That would be stupid. I also liked that the Lex plot started to build up again. This episode gets my reccomendation for big Lois and Clark fans only.moreless
