"Mediocre"

By Skinnygrl, Feb 05, 2006

So-so episode, the plot was a little silly, the storyline was dull and predictable, but there were a few nice Lois and Clark moments. I, like most other fans, really only watched the show for the relatiosnhip between Lois and Clark. This is one of those episode in which Lois realizess how much Clark really means to her.

- Emmet Vale: It's called kryptonite. And it never runs out. Johnny: Just like the bunny, huh? Johnny is referring to the Energizer Bunny, which is a marketing icon and mascot for Energizer batteries. It is a pink bunny rabbit that beats a drum while wearing shades and blue sandals. It has been appearing in television commercials since 1989. The Energizer Bunny has been marching endlessly, presumably still running on the original batteries from 1989.
