Lois And Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman: Season 3 [DVD] [2006]

So what was the answer? Does she say yes? Cloning, time travel, shrink serums, memory loss, this has some even wackier themes and with villain names like ‘Sweet tart’ this is more tongue in cheek than the previous series. However, it does flag in the second quarter as the writers are obviously struggling about which direction to take. Lois becomes stronger and bolder, while Clarke/superman displays more uncertainty.Despite the flaws, this still remains good ***** adventure for all the family as there is no nudity, sex, swearing amd all the violence is ‘comic’ book stuff.The end is another two-parter but what an ending, Aaaarghhh! –obviously meant to be a finale. So how’s series 4 going to come back, guess we’ll have to watch to find out.

This is a great season with so many interesting episodes. On the romantic side we get to hear Lois Lane's answer to Clark's proposal at the end of season 2. "Who is asking, Clark or Superman?" - From her answer we get to know that she has discovered Clark's secret identity as superman. Will this new knowledge bring them closer together or drive them part? -the drama is played out in many entertaining episodes of romance and break up and reconciliation. Some of my favourite episodes include `We have a lot to talk about' - when Lois gives Clark her answer; `Ordinary people' - romantic getaway to a tropical island with dire consequences; `Just say Noah' - when they had to go undercover as Mr and Mrs, `Ultra Woman' - when Lois gets superman's power as a result of a freak accident. In the last two episodes of this season we see some Kryptonians arrive on earth in search of Kal-El (Clark) to ask him to leave the earth for ever and return to New Krypton - Superman is not the only one with super powers and that gave an added spice to the drama. Also an assassin is sent by Lord Nor -superman's rival to eliminate Superman and stop him from returning to New Krypton. These two episodes summarise the essence of Superman and his legend. It is very emotional and very well told. This box set is filled with exciting special features -Lois and Clark - a history of romance -Chronicles their romantic history from the comic books to the movies and TV series; The man of Steel trivia challenge hosted by Dean Cain is really cool and so is the documentary -`Look up in the Sky -the amazing story of Superman'. What I like best is that the packaging is very compact and space saving

I loved this show when it was on television, and really looked forward to watching them again. WARNING!!!!! But season 3 has episode 14 missing which is anoying as you dont miss it until it is referred to in season 4, by which time you are 12 episodes on.Updated 04.04.2017Amazon updated season 3 to include the missing episode and as they gave me a full refund, when I advised them the episode was missing, I was happy to repurchase.

This series departs a bit from the cheese fest that was series 2 but it becomes clear that the direction of the show isn't agreed on by everyone working on it. Some writers/directors/producers seem to want to make it an action series, some a rom com, some a drama and others don't seem to have chosen a genre at all, instead deciding to just pop out a pile of absolutely average one liners which generally look out of character and in many cases spoil the flow of dialogue and make the show look amateurish. The genre swapping wouldn't have been too bad if it had just been limited to one genre an episode or at least worked in together with a relevant plot (many good shows since L&C picked up this habit, esp. those by Joss Whedon) but the indecision in each episode was tiring to keep track of, not to mention distracting. There are a few episodes which are exceptions but not many. This sounds like a 1 or 2 star review so I should explain the extra couple of stars; somehow (and I have to admit I'm still not sure how) I was still gripped enough by Clark and Lois' developing relationship and by the new Kryptonian angle to keep watching all the way through, but it really was hard going at times. I did enjoy the series but it takes more effort on the viewer's end than any other popular show I've ever watched. If you want to see L&C out to the end then get this season but if you're wavering after watching season 2 I'll warn you things don't get *much* better in this season.
