  • It starts with the scene from Season II at the fountain. As a backstory, the two reporters are sent to investigate Bill Church, who is the former head of Intergang. He claims to have turned over a new leaf.moreless

    "Perfect"
    By cloudyski, Jul 02, 2006 Report Abuse
    This was the turning point in the entire season. Basically, all the tension from Season I and Season II culminated in a cliffhanger. This wastes no time in getting to the meat of the story. A lot of things happen in this episode. There is a good balance of romance, comedy, and action. The story of Bill Church Sr and family is amusing, especially Mindy.

     This episode is pivotal because its the foundation for every episode after it. Generally, I\\\'ve found every L & C episode written by John McNamara was very good (and has a high rating on tv.com).

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Goof: After Lois defuses the bomb, the trigger reads 3:02. As she crawls out from under the table several seconds later, the clock resumes ticking down to 3:01. Edit
    • When Superman catches the ring in space, he is visibly breathing in and out. But in the season one episode "All Shook Up", he needs an oxygen mask to breath in space. But perhaps he's at the farthest reaches of the Earth's atmosphere, and can still get a minute amount of oxygen from it. Edit
    • Nitpick: Lois should have suffocated and frozen in the sky since she could not be enveloped in Superman's forcefield so far from him. She should also have gotten severe frostbite, though it's possible that Superman could have found a way to radiate enough heat to keep her warm enough. Edit

    ADD QUOTES
    • (Lois sweeps broken glass on her floor after a bomb explodes there) Lois: Well, since you asked, what took you an hour? Superman: A nuclear reactor was melting down in Philadelphia. What's your point? Lois: I just think maybe you're taking my jeopardy just a little for granted these days. Superman: What?!? Lois: You know, I can understand. It's not the same new sizzling romance. I don't look at you like some moony eyed cheerleader and maybe you look at me differently too. I'm just good old Lois, get to me whenever. Superman: That's ridiculous. Lois: Well, just food for thought. Anyway, if you're not too busy, maybe we should try and find the guy who did this! (Lois shoves the broom onto his chest and Superman looks confused and starts sweeping.) Superman: All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia. Edit
    • Lois: Speaking of which, when were you planning on telling me? The honeymoon? Our first anniversary? When the kids started flying around the house? Edit
    • Bobby Bigmouth: No it's alright, it's ok. I've been feeling lately that this food obsession of mine is masking a deeper emotional trauma. Lois: Bobby, really? Bobby Bigmouth: No, actually I'm trying to talk myself out of eating your chair. Edit

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Superman: All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia This is a famous wisecrack of comedian W.C. Fields. Edit
    • Bill Church Jr: The whole thing is just so... Greek! The Greek tragedian Sophocles wrote a trilogy of plays around the character of Oedipus, who was prophesied at birth to one day kill his father and marry his mother. Raised by foster parents, he met his real father on the road one day and killed him in an argument, and went on to marry his mother Jocasta after defeating the Sphinx. This is what the name of the psychological theory "The Oedipus Complex" is based upon. Edit
    • Bomb: This is the pre-recorded voice of your friendly neighborhood bomber. This quote is a modification of one of the tag lines of the Marvel comic book superhero Spiderman: Spidey often refers to himself as "your friendly neighborhood Spiderman". Edit
