* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: In "[[Recap/TheNewAdventuresOfSupermanS2E7 Luthor's Loco Looking Glass]]", Luthor (escaping after having left ComicBook/JimmyOlsen in a DeathTrap) taunts Superman that, "You'll never find your friend or me." Was he just trying to torment his nemesis, or was he trying to distract Superman (knowing that Supes [[SmallStepsHero would put more value on saving a hostage than capturing the villain]])? Either way, it failed.

* GeniusBonus: The title of "Can a Luthor Change His Spots?" works even if all one knows is the phrase "[[PunBasedTitle can a leopard change his spots]]?" However, it's even more apropos if the viewer knows the full verse (Jeremiah 13:23), which places a hardened evildoer beginning to do the right thing (as Lex pretends he's doing) on equal likelihood with a leopard or a human changing their fur/skin color.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: In "Luthor's Loco Looking Glass", Luthor is making his escape through a TunnelOfLove filled with horror figures. He gloats that none of this can scare him. At exactly that point, he pulls up to the shadowy silhouette of a new figure, Superman himself, who proves him wrong.

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: A subverted regular {{Aesop}} from "Can a Luthor Change His Spots?". You shouldn't be suspicious and people can change...except sometimes they don't and suspicion can be a good thing.

* NightmareFuel: The first episode where Lois Lane is captured by the villain of the week. As soon as he lays his eyes on Lois, he manhandles her into his lair and we get this shot of their shadows against a wall, with the scientist overpowering Lois as she cries out in distress. While the rest of the episode was fairly light-hearted to the point of being goofy, this one moment was shockingly realistic.
