Our look back at the Superman‘s more memorable moments on both the big and small screen continues with “Fly Hard.” The final Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman episode before the First Season’s two-part finale, “Fly Hard” offered the opportunity for all of the show’s regular cast to play multiple roles when the Daily Planet staff, along with Lex Luthor (John Shea), are taken hostage by a group of armed robbers (led by Star Trek: Voyager‘s Robert Beltran) searching for the legendary safe of former mob boss Dragon Eddie (Shea).

The Mentalist - Silver Wings of Time

The investigation into the bombing of a bus stop planned to kill only a single victim leads the FBI to look into the case of a death row inmate (Oscar Torre) who the recent victim was trying to get released from prison before his schedule execution in only three days time. Tracking down the woman (Angelique Cabral) hired by a private eye to steal the victim’s briefcase seconds before the explosion doesn’t deliver any hard answers but does lead Abbot (Rockmond Dunbar) to suspect the proof the victim was gathering to stop the state of Texas from executing an innocent man must have been worth killing for.

The Pretender - Pilot

Premiering in the Fall of 1996, The Pretender was a new take on the man-on-the-run premise with the wrongfully chased hero stopping along the way every week to help those in need. The show cast Michael T. Weiss as Jarod, a genius with the ability to adapt to any situation and in a short amount of time pick up the skills necessary to perform any profession he puts his mind to from doctor to race car driver. The “Pilot” episode finds a newly-escaped Jarod on the run from The Centre, a shadowy think tank which procured Jarod as a child through questionable means and use his genius for decades for equally questionable ends.
