A Great Example Why this series is still well respected and watched

I had this episode on VHS tape since it was first aired in 1996 but for some reason never watched it until today, July 14, 2006. It captivated me from the beginning as this great ensemble cast puts on such a believable family and co-workers at the Daily Planet.

Dean Cain is intense and a 'perfect Superman' and Teri Hatcher is stunningly beautiful as well as one to make you feel her emotions throughout this show.

The 'bad guy' in the show is excellent and one that will entertain you and you will love to hate him.

All in all I'm glad I saved the episode and now I have to go by the series on DVD to see what's next.
