Pretty great!
sssuperman-dot-com9 August 2018
I found this episode entertaining and satisfying. I personally think the villains were a fascinating concept, and handled quite well. It started out seeming like Myrtle was just a typical entertaining and well-done but silly villain and it turned into something deeper, and it was especially fascinating how the truth about her doctor "assistant" unfolded. I just love how the entire thing developed, from the beginning to the end. Yes, the way in which the titular couple finally got married in this episode was extremely cheesy and weird...but this show is no stranger to cheesy, weird things, which isn't all a bad thing!

Campy, but still a good episode.

A lot of people think this episode was a let down, but I enjoyed it. Even the guardian angel was a nice touch in my opinion. It was great to see Lois & Clark FINALLY get married for real. It's just too bad it took until the final season to do it. Delta Burke was a good "villian" although she could have been a bit more sinister (ala Lex), but I can deal with that. All in all a good episode for L&C fans, but not so much if you wanted a complex storyline. I just wish it could have had an official 5th season. It took me some time to actually see this as I missed it when it first aired and I had to wait until I could buy the season on Amazon. Well, worth both the purchase and the viewing IMO.

I liked Mike!
atrac16 March 2015
I am thoroughly surprised to see not a lot of love for Mike. I personally found his inclusion in the episode close to genius. The idea of an "angel" or whatever he was who would randomly come into our lives, give us encouragement, then disappear and we only remember that encouragement is incredibly appealing.

David Doyle was well cast in the part and the music that accompanies his visits gives me chills every time I hear it.

Was it corny? You bet. Do I personally need corny in my life. You betcha!

Everyone needs Mike!!!

The kind of sweet episode

This was the best way to have the wedding happen. Making the villain be someone who while menacing could be defeated not through her being incompetent I mean seriously one button push Lois dead wedding never happening again no matter what is done.

I liked how they tied in that the villain's theme was weddings and allowed them to explore how love can be lost, found, and overcome.

The best angle of the whole episode though was that Mike this guardian angel this guy who is always looking out for people kept stepping in to add a much needed word of support here and there. The episode was like their wedding simple and beautiful.

What people forget is that we haven't been waiting three seasons to see them get married we have been waiting 58 years. I say this goes down as the best episode of the series. People who don't like it didn't really care about the love and wanted more action.

Wedded......

The second "wedding" of Lois and Clark, is even more beguiling than the first. If you recall the first trip to the Alter Lois is replaced by a clone. Well this time we get a wonderful end to a very loopy and sad villainess. While the duo work the story they are besieged by a few shady henchmen who just want their story. Of course both sets of parents appear making for the real feels.

A memorial Character from Charlie's Angels officiates the young couple and just when you think the day is done a knock at the door signals the arrival of more.. All in all this an episode that delights,scares and makes you miss this every Sunday.

we waited four seasons for this?

OK so the tension of the show for the past couple of seasons was will clark and lois ever get married. along the way to resolving that tension every possible thing that could get in the way did and each time it just built it up larger and larger to a point where when they finally got to the wedding it better be the best damn episode in the history of the show. did it deliver? this was the worst episode that the show has ever delivered. for one thing you have a simple threat of some, sorry for herself so i gotta make everyone miserable, wedding crasher who decides to seek revenge on clark and lois for putting her away. this villain is totally flat and doesn't provide the kick in the stakes that this episode needed so very badly. last time they almost got married at least lex luthor was involved which made for some interesting tension and conflict. but this wacked out woman serves about as good of villain as if you were to make alicia silverstone from clueless a villain. then the absolute worst part that was so bad that i kept not being able to pay attention because it made my head hurt was the mike guardian angel story. hey why not have the easter bunny, santa clause, and donald duck at the wedding while we are at it. i feel like i dropped down in my IQ by about 40 points just watching this incredibly dumb idea unfold. it totally ruined the emotion of the wedding. i wanted to see these two get together for four seasons and when they finally do I'm too busy lowering my eyes and rubbing my head to pay attention. i mean it was corny and dumb. having their guardian angel marry them? where the hell did this come from? it was out of no where. still i give the episode a few points because it was good to see these two finally get together and for once be truly happy. plus this episode suffered a lot because of the massive amount of hype it gave itself by putting the wedding off for so long. the writers should have realized that you have to deliver one hell of an amazing episode to make waiting all that time worth it and they didn't. i just kept thinking, i waited four seasons for this?

It was alright up until the end. Then it really turned to total crap.

If they'd cut Mike out of this episode it would have been fine.

The point at which Clark half breaks the fourth wall say "everyone needs to know that this isn't some kind of evil genius, cloned, amnesiac fake-out..." really sums up the episode well.

I mean, holy crap. How cheesy must the scenario be if you need to turn to the audience and say "Hi! This is NOT a dream sequence, it's just dumb and weird, but we couldn't think of anything better." They introduce a few new characters from past adventures and have a bunch of awful cameos of the Mike guy who is god or an angel or some crap. It's just awful.

The episode would have been fine if they'd just cut mike out, and had them elope to a tropic paradise as yet untouched by man but noooooo. For most of the episode I was wondering if Mike was Mxyzptlk from the superman series because everyone kept doing what he told them to which is Mxyzptlk's power.

The worst part is that it was so utterly out of place among the other episodes striking a completely different tone, and being just generally awful every time they shoved the angel into your face.

What

I watched this episode with my family when it originally aired, and have fond memories of all of us being confused annoyed by the introduction of Mike. A bizarre idea that fell flat.

Who the heck is Mike

Mike shows up out of nowhere and is somehow more powerful than superman? Everyone knows him or something but forgets him too? He's not in any other episodes! Really lame. Who the heck is Mike??
