Lois and Clark, that shit is just weird.
I finished watching the final season last night. It had been almost 10 years since i'd originaly seen it on tv so i really didn't remember how they'd ended their 4 year run. And let's be honest right off the bat shall we? That show was the equivalent of Batman the Adam West years. Can someone say campy? Hell yes. But it was the early '90s and we didn't expect much back then i guess. Dean Cain wasn't the greatest Superman, mostly because he kept referring to Superman in the third person (ei: "oh when Superman stopped the terrorists" not "when I stopped the terrorists") It's weird but it doesn't seem like they knew the show was going to be canceled, it ends very abrutly and in a way that i really dont understand.
In the third season (or maybe early fourth, i don't remember to be honest with you) Lois and Clark get married in the episode "we swear to god, this time we're serious". And it's the weirdest episode ever...until the finale that is. It's like, since DC decided to have Lois and Clark get married in the comic books, they had to have the wedding on tv sort of removed from the "Lois and Clark" continuity. It's a normal episode in which Myrtle Beach (Delta Burke) is dead set on ruining Lois's wedding. But during the entire episode they keep running into "Mike", and he seems to know alot about them, alot. By the end of the episode, Lois and Clark have sent Myrtle to jail (since they had a fake wedding to trap her), but they still aren't married. At this point Clark tells Lois they must go west for some reason. They get to where they're going, without apparently knowing where that is, and all of a sudden, their parents are there and so are Jimmy and Perry. Mike let's them know that "everone remembers today!" and that "do you know how many people have been waiting for this?" And they get married, in this weird other dimension. Or at least that's what i'm deciding that was, for lack of any other explanation.
In the final episode, it's all baby talk. Can we even have a baby? Can we adopt? And apparently the answer is no too both. Star Labs tells Clark that his Kryptonian DNA is not compatible with humans and the adoption agency will not give them a baby because Lois keeps putting herself in mortal danger. Apparently, she's obssessed with Superman, or so the adoption agent tells her. So it's all ending on a down note, no babies no nothin'. Until the last scene, in which Lois and Clark are talking about how they can't have kids, Clark "super-hears" something, but he can't believe what it is he's hearing. They both go downstairs where they find, in a basinette, what is apparently a superbaby. Why do i say Superbaby? Because the kid came with a note that read "Lois and Clark this is your child" and he was rapped in a blue blanket... with the Superman symbol on it. Fade out, end scene. End of show. WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT??? I can only imagine how pissed off i was 10 years ago.... but you know what... it's ok, because in 7 days i get to watch Superman Returns, and at least, in this movie, the kid has a name.

Hi,
I never watched the Lois and Clark show but I've been looking at their scenes on YouTube since Dean Cain will be on Smallville this year. It looked really mushy, sweet and funny. But that ending is really odd. I guess they got cancelled.
