Oh yeah. It's completely mad. Which, in Lois&Clark, is half the fun. (Seriously. Cracky plots are their speciality. And they do them so well.)
Mind you, it comes across quite differently when you're actually watching it.
(Sidenote: have you ever tried summarising Buffy plots to someone who hasn't seen it? It sounds so weird: "And then her boyfriend - remember, the one who came back from the dead after he went evil and then good and then she killed him? yeah, him - well, he left town to be a detective, so she went off with this college guy who was a psychology student, except he wasn't really, he was actually a soldier who was on a secret mission to capture vampires (including Spike - remember him? yeah, the blond guy with the crazy girlfriend who teamed up with her to save the world). And anyway it turned out he had superstrength because the army had him on drugs, but they also had him implanted with this mindcontrol chip which he didn't know about until the half-demon cyborg activated it... Oh, and then there was this whole thing with Willow's werewolf ex-boyfriend coming back just as she'd got a new girlfriend and being captured by Buffy's new boyfriend, who then tried to help him escape and committed treason...")
