No flak from me, DJ...but I don't agree with you, either laugh . I didn't mean to put words in your mouth, though, and apologize if I did. It sounds like we're coming at stalker!Clark from different directions.

I don't think being in love with someone excuses spying or eavesdropping. How is Clark using his abilities to listen in on Lois's conversations any different from Luthor recording her conversations in BatP/HoL? Luthor claimed to love her deeply and passionately, too, and he probably believed he was looking out for her best interests, but I don't think that makes his eavesdropping right or excusable.

Yes, if Clark had reason to believe that Lois was in immediate physical danger, I would think he'd be excused for spying, but that doesn't seem to be at all the case in the pilot - he was just being nosy there - nor does it seem to be the case in BatP. Which leaves me not liking it much.

At the same time, it's these little things that keep Clark from being too good to be true, and that's not all a bad thing. smile
