The third episode in Lois & Clark's final season
is called, "Swear to God, This Time We're Not Kidding,"
but after what this series so maddeningly put its loyal
fans through, Clark Kent (Dean Cain) could be forgiven
for interrupting his nuptials to ask, "Look, everyone
needs to know that this isn't some kind of evil
genius-cloned-amnesiac fake out because there would be a
riot." But no, viewers finally got what that they waited
for so patiently; Clark and Lois Lane (Teri Hatcher)
were married. But the honeymoon was short lived. The
writers weren't through messing with viewers. In the
next episode, "Soul Mates," Lois and Clark learn0--from
H.G. Wells yet (Terri Kiser, reprising his role from
season 2)--that they must first break an ancient curse
that was put on their love before they can consummate
their marriage. Both episodes are redeemed by blissfully
romantic resolutions that more than make up for all the
other nonsense. Marriage may have taken the sexual
tension out of Lois and Clark's relationship, but it did
not sap their considerable appeal. As professional
colleagues and married partners, they work exceedingly
well together, and Cain and Hatcher's palpable chemistry
compensates for some not-so-super episodes. Not that the
final season doesn't have its keepers. "Ghosts" features
a nifty bit of stunt casting with Drew Carrey as a
real-estate scam artist trying to scare Lois and Clark
out of their apartment and his Drew Carrey Show
nemesis Kathy Kinney as an actual ghost. The holiday
episode "Twas the Night Before Mxymas" stars Howie
Mandel as a havoc-wreaking imp who works a little
Groundhog Day magic on Christmas. On a more dramatic
note, there is a three-episode arc in which Lois is
framed for murder. For Lois and Clark, first came love,
then came marriage. As for what inevitably comes next,
the final episode concludes this beloved series on an
enormously satisfying note. --Donald Liebenson
Product Description
Lois Lane and Clark Kent saved the best for last. In
their final season, they finally get married. There are
a few roadblocks along the highway to marital bliss: a
worlds-at-war battle with Lord Nor; an adventure-packed
encounter with the Wedding Destroyer, who believes folks
are better dead than wed; and even wedding-night
interruptus compliments of time-traveling H.G. Wells.
But before or after the shoes and rice, all 22
fourth-season episodes zing with Lois & Clark's
action/comedy blend.
