I really think many of the scripts came in short, especially in late seasons. So many LOOOONG shots of the Daily Planet Globe in any given episode.

What Lois & Clark got the most right was the idea that Clark is the "real guy", and Superman is a performance. They also knew that when something bad is happening, the drama isn't, "Will Superman save them?" but "How does Clark get out of the room?"

Also era-bridging in how it traversed two poles of superhero storytelling. When it first started, "No tights, no flights" was presented as a hopeful promise— "Don't worry, we're not going to do anything silly here." By the end of the run, the lack of proper costume was considered a failing. The public opinion of how

"As if it matters how a man falls down. When the fall is all that's left it matters very much,"

I understand she does theatre and small projects, mostly. So it may be that ten seasons on network television left her financially secure, and she's not really pushing to do anything other than what intrigues her.

The hardest thing for me to believe was in that first scene, where an actress— even an "aging" one— who still looks like Akerman in that scene, would be getting blown off by casting.

Actually, it commits pretty strongly to that. I liked it a lot.

Don't say "cavemen lived longer and healthier than we do" for starters.

Hulu isn't on TV.

Not seen after Ollie passed out: Hal fighting a bunch of ARGUS agents trying to rescue the long-haired kid, and breaking Waller's nose. That's why she wasn't on the plane later.

Also, it's that it's almost a parody of all Bad Dad Cliches, but played completely straight. It's the sort of thing that both Speilberg and Williams should have done better, but yet, there it is.

Look, the energy required to counter gravity is nowhere near what happy thoughts generate, even with "fairy dust" as a catalyst. I've crunched the numbers, it just doesn't work.

"My character trait is baseball!"
"My character trait is I love my mom!"

I want to know, when was Jack's game? Was it a weekday afternoon or something? It was clear it was an expected workday (Peter's office seems fully staffed and all), to the point where there was a lackey available to send to videotape the game. So why was it expected that Peter could have been there in the first

Yeah, it's right there in the text that Peter has grown up to become his worst enemy, and doesn't even realize it, and I don't think Williams nailed that part of it.

Caption tells us it's 1,000,000 BC. (Or something like that…)

Don't worry, I know how to get that one out of my head.

I have to say, "I have a Murder Photographer story" will always be a conversational trump card. Whatever is being discussed, you can drop that down and take ownership of the New Topic.

True. Though in the case of the letter, that's clearly not the issue. There it's about possessiveness in a relationship where the letter writer has no claim for it.

There are vague threadishnesses of things sort of being talked about.
