This week we're talking about Lois & Clark Season 1, Episode 5: Requiem For A Superhero!
Yes, FOLCs, it's "the boxing episode." We like it almost as much as Clark likes playing Poker sans powers.
Perry officially teams up Lois and Clark, then assigns them a story about an upcoming big-deal boxing match. Lois's dad is involved in a boxing scandal and... oh yeah, Lois has a dad! Other surprises in this episode include: Clark likes boxing! Also, Lex has a dog! (Though we suspect Metropolis may have some kind of Rent-A-Pet situation going on.) Also, Perry has extreme emotions! (Watch out, newsroom!)
Requiem For A Superhero: Come for the episode commentary, stay for Clark destroying property!
Fun fact: this episode's screenwriter has exactly one credit on the imdb: This episode.
Our special feature this week is: John Shea!
RFAS first aired 17 October 1993.
