12 Unanswered Questions From Famous TV Shows That Are Still Killing Us

5. Who Left The Baby? - Lois & Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman

The iconic 90s Superman series ended on an infamously baffling cliffhanger, due to ABC granting the writers a fifth and final season only to change their minds at the last minute.

Season four's series finale concludes with Lois Lane (Teri Hatcher) and Clark Kent (Dean Cain) finding out they can't have kids, only for a baby boy to be delivered to their apartment by an unknown party, complete with a Superman-branded blanket and a note telling them the child is theirs. Wait, what?

So, who was the child? Where did he come from? Who delivered him? And why did anyone think fans wanted to watch a season of Lois and Clark raising a baby?

Series writer Brad Buckner did chime in with some apparent answers a few years ago, that the baby would be Kryptonian royalty sent to Lois and Clark to protect him from assassins. He would grow at an abnormal rate, possess Superman's powers and at the end of the season return home to save his endangered people.

On second thought, a season focused on superhero child-rearing doesn't sound quite so bad. As this hypothetical plotting was thankfully never made canon, the ambiguity is certainly preferable despite its undeniable weirdness.
