The scene between Lois and Clark, sleeping comfortably together - major WAFF! love

This whole part was excellent and completely believable. Sure, Clark really couldn't expect good news about his potential compatibility, but that doesn't mean he didn't harbor hope, and it's crushing to have that slim hope dashed.

I read this section of a poem by Aldous Huxley when I was a teenager and it has stuck with me all these years. Every time I see an ultrasound, I think of it.

A million million spermatozoa
All of them alive;
Out of their cataclysm but one poor Noah
Dare hope to survive.

And among that billion minus one
Might have chanced to be
Shakespeare, another Newton, a new Donne--
But the One was Me.
