Lana channeling Veronica Lake was over the top, but over the top in a way that totally worked, making me feel like Kristin Kreuk would have been totally at home in 40's noir films. It was great fun.<br /><br />Sometimes when I really don't like a cast member on a show, it's because they're simply in the wrong role, and maybe that's the issue with Kristin Kreuk. I remember when Marina Sirtis had to masquerade as a Romulan intelligence officer, she was much more compelling than she ever was as Deanna Troy.magrittenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-68913517280817516242017-08-04T20:01:36.997-04:002017-08-04T20:01:36.997-04:00May 3rd was the actual date that this episode aire...May 3rd was the actual date that this episode aired back in 2007. As for the 1940 significance, while it is true that Superman debuted in Action Comics in 1938, the Adventures of Superman radio show debuted in 1940. Since the radio show introduced the character of Jimmy Olsen, and since this episode was Jimmy Olsen in the spotlight, the reference most likely refers to his birth year.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466991405593763442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-76525636466708665602015-10-28T22:21:02.814-04:002015-10-28T22:21:02.814-04:00Delightfully, the "Daily Planet" sign sh...Delightfully, the "Daily Planet" sign shown on the building exterior in the dream sequence is an often-used establishing shot from the classic George Reeves "Adventures of Superman" series.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-81139072845340525112012-05-27T01:42:04.291-04:002012-05-27T01:42:04.291-04:00I love this one.

It always amazes me how fantastic the entire cast look in their 40's roles -- especially Lois who was gorgeous.<br /><br />And, what's not to love about Clark actually being cool?ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.com
