Laura, I agree with every single word you wrote. At first glance, the only thing Clark and Lois have in common is that they are both journalists for the Daily Planet, but did a little deeper and you see two peas in a pod.
And you described perfectly one of the main draws of the show for me, as well. The only difference is that instead of wondering day to day about fitting in, I just plain concluded as a child that I never would fit in. (There's a reason why Mr. Spock was one of my all-time favourite characters.)
Joy,
Lynn
