Secret bases, government organizations, an elaborate death-trap-esque device... the villain is even wearing the Dr. No radiation suit! Most of all, though, the score is REALLY channeling John Barry Bond, almost distractingly-so at times.<br /><br />So, yeah, weird episode (I was also nitpicking the 'really, burning down a room of valuable artifacts and hoping they don't burn up while you try to steal them?', but also Clark slipping away from Jimmy in the smoke (what if he risks his life to stay and try to find and 'rescue' you, Clark?), and the bit where a government tough won't let Clark Kent into the burned-out yacht club with an obviously-fake story... and Superman DOESN'T think to use his x-ray vision to see what they're covering up inside (even though he uses it just a minute later to find the hidden base)), but noteworthy for the Bond theming. And I really rather liked his super-speed takedown of the fancy laser gun that an agent tried to threaten him with; it's nice to see Superman using his powers intelligently, and not being gotten-the-drop-on for once.Andrew Gilbertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604304361825660940noreply@blogger.com
