SPOILERS: Here's another unusual episode, this time involving the dreaded Kryptonite. But, as others have pointed out elsewhere, it seems downright nuts for Superman to make Lois Lane climb out of that deep pit without assistance. She could have been seriously injured or killed. It just doesn't fit into the whole Superman ethos, and makes one rather uncomfortable. And who believes that hypnotizing someone will make them impervious to being crushed by tons of pressure? I think they went overboard in this episode and really stretched credibility. But otherwise it's a pretty good and somewhat different episode.

Yeah, I think most folks were troubled by the latter part of that particular episode. It bothered me as a kid, and it still does. I wonder what the writers were thinking. Here's what the Superman Homepage has to say about it:
"Okay, Superman was exposed to Kryptonite. Yet, Jimmy diverted the gun that fired the lasers. After that, Supes should have easily been able to carry Lois out of the pit. Why didn't he? This feels like a blatantly missed special effect or an omission possibly due to the censorship of the time. Still, it sticks out like a sore thumb in what is an otherwise stupendous episode."
