When Clark started to wake up, I assumed that this chapter would end on a higher note than the last one. Boy, was I wrong. I think that Clark is just doing some meditation thing to slow his heart and hasn't woken back up yet, but Lois is right to worry about him being kicked by Lex.

You've done a good crazy-Lex here. He really went off the rails during the whole clone arc. I think Dr. Kelley did an incomplete job of putting his mind back together with his body. I'm not surprised that he killed Deter here; Max was, after all, manipulating Lois to fall for him. That's Lex's job. goofy wink


"It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then...he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him." -Batman (in Superman/Batman #3 by Jeph Loeb)
