    This was a great episode. No super villian here, only a guy that had sound as a weapon. It was great to see how much sound pounding Superman could take. Seeing Lois (Teri Hatcher) as a trashy brunette was very cool to say the least. All-in-all, a great episode to watch.

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Camden: (to Lois and Clark) Are you my 'appointment in Samarra'?! The story Appointment in Samarra, by Somerset Maugham, tells the story of a man who meets Death in Baghdad and tries to hide from him in the town of Samarra, not knowing that Samarra was where he was fated to die. Edit
    • Lenny: (as he uses sound as a weapon against Superman) This is your brain, and this is your brain on sound. Any questions? This is a nod to a popular anti-drug campaign commercial from 1987 that used a visual of an egg as representing a person's brain, and then the same egg being fried as a person's brain on drugs. Edit
    • Lois: The nutty professor? Come on.

      Lois is referring to the 1963 comedic film The Nutty Professor, starring Jerry Lewis as a crazed scientist whose serum makes him physically attractive (temporarily).
