"Superb"

Wow! Is it possible for someone as old as Raquel Welch to be so hot? I'm serious, she's what, 68? So this episode aired like 13 years ago, which would've made her 55 when they filmed this episode. I've never seen a 55 year old women look so hot! Especially in the scene where Superman comes to her apartment and she's wearing a tight black dress and trying to seduce him, that's my favorite scene. It's too bad that when she kisses him he starts feeling sick because of the kryptonite lipstick. She was very hot in this episode. She looked great.moreless

TRIVIA (5)
ADD TRIVIA
- Goof: When Lois breaks the glass to get into Clark's apartment, there is a reflection of the boom-mic next to the knob.
  EDIT SHARE
- Goof: Kryptonite is radioactive, so why would radioactive uranium counteract it? Radiation poisoning is treated by using an agent to flush the radiactive residue from the body, and treatment of the symptoms with antibiotics.
  EDIT SHARE
- Diana Stride is another person who knows Superman's real identity. She saw him on the couch in his apartment, opening his shirt, exposing the suit, as well as the suits hanging in his closet. She lived to tell the world, but since she was sent to prison, no one would believe her. The Planet printed an article saying that her show was a hoax because everyone saw Superman and Clark, together thanks to Martha's Hologram.
  EDIT SHARE
- Goof: When Clark has everybody downstairs for the press conference he is behind the microphones when Superman appears. Right before Superman flies away, you see the wires holding up Dean Cain as he flies.
  EDIT SHARE
- Nitpick: When Diana Stride sprays her left hand to tag Superman so that later she can identify his true identity, when she jumps he saves her she caresses his neck with her right hand. Of course, it's possible she had previously sprayed her other hand, just to be sure.

ADD QUOTES
- Lois: (confessing about stealing Mayson's beeper) I did something that I shouldn't have. (hands over the beeper) Mayson: You stole it. Lois: Yeah. It's not the first time I've bent the law for a story, but I did feel bad because after I finished rationalizing it I realized that a big part of why I did it is because... I don't like you. Mayson: (pleased) Really? Oh God, that is such a relief! I don't like you either!
  EDIT SHARE
- Rolf: There is something I have always wanted to ask you: when I wear my very tightest ski pants I always get a bit... chafed. Do you find this happens to you? Superman: No, but it helps to be invulnerable.
  EDIT SHARE
- Clark: Lois, you know, I really hope someday that you learn, that sometimes what it seems like people are doing isn't what they're really doing. Lois: What are you, a fortune cookie?
  EDIT SHARE
- Rolf (about Superman): So good, so decent. Don't you just want to vomit? Diana: Nice quads, though. Rolf: Eh.

ALLUSIONS (5)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Title The fictitious show Diana works for, Top Copy, is modeled on the popular newsmagazine show of the time, Hard Copy.
  EDIT SHARE
- Diana: I've got you under your skin... Diana is quoting the lyrics of the song "I've Got You Under My Skin", written in 1936 by Cole Porter and recorded by such famous singers as Frank Sinatra, The Four Seasons, and Ella Fitzgerald.
  EDIT SHARE
- Lois: Well, she's watched a little too much Perry Mason. Perry Mason is a fictional defense attorney in a series of novels and short stories written by Erle Stanley Gardner, later adopted into a television series of the same name which ran on CBS from 1957 to 1966.
  EDIT SHARE
- When Perry says: "Hey, I've been told I look a little like Nixon but I've never been to the White House" he's paying homage to his role of President Richard Nixon in The Final Days in 1989.
  EDIT SHARE
- When Diana tells her cameraman, "I'm ready for my closeup Mr. Demille." she is refering to the closing line of the Billy Wilder film Sunset Boulevard.
