I've never thought at the speed he was moving when he shot at Lex Luthor. Interesting, I am always learning something on this board !

Unfortunately, there's many flaws in Lois & Clark.
What I often found irritating, it is the slowness of Clark's reaction. He is faster than a speeding bullet but sometimes we really wonder.
Example in the episode with Patrick, the Irish, I think it's the fourth episode on season 3. Lois wants to follow Superman at the museum and so she puts herself in danger. Trying to protect her, he lets escape the thief. But why didn't he run after him !! He is faster than any human, he has X ray vision and a super-hearing to know where he runs away ! There is too many clumsiness of this kind.
