So interesting.

One reason I'm not a whole-hearted fan of the LnC TV show is that Lois was just too self-centered and pretty much unbearable in the beginning of the show. She got much better, though, partly because of the way Clark stood by her side and gently urged and nudged her in the right direction. The way you would train a dog or a horse, almost.

Now, several years later, Lois has grown so much wiser and so much more mature. But Clark, interestingly, has grown more immature. Now he has to be dealt with as carefully as Mad Dog Lane had to be treated when Clark first met her. Now she is the horse- or the dog-trainer.

So interesting. Lois has grown wiser, more broadminded, more patient, more able to see other people's point of view. Clark has grown more immature, at least in his relationship with her.

Wonder if we'll reach the point where Lois will have to throw him in the dumpster. Or, for that matter, where Clark will apologize for being galactically stupid.
