Really? Clark knows that Luthor is a murderous megalomanic sociopath and have every reason to believe that the marriage is something that Lois would bitterly regret. Should he really respect their privacy to that degree if he loves her? Sure he has a personal stake, but to me he seemed to look for a way out as much for Lois as himself. Remember that he knows that Lois his for the taking, if he is willing to pay the price. He didn’t hang outside the window when she was seeing Scardino did he?
And in WWW he had tried to get in touch with Lois all night, saw Scardino, didn’t want to show himself and left. I’ never saw that as stalkerish in the least. Rather the opposite in fact.
That's almost exactly what I was trying to say.
The pilot scene is difficult to defend though, even if he wanted to see that she had gotten home safely, it doesn't seem like he needed to hang outside her window. Well, it didn’t look like he was peering through the wall at least.
Well, he hadn't known her that long, and didn't realize he was in love with her yet. I think, in the beginning, Clark felt drawn to Lois--though he didn't know why. That's what I think the scene outside the window in the Pilot was about.
It's like the song Freddy sings in
My Fair Lady, "The Street Where You Live:"
When she mentioned how her aunt bit off the spoon,
She completely done me in.
And my heart went on a journey to the moon,
When she told about her father and the gin.
And I never saw a more enchanting farce
Than that moment when she shouted
"move your bloomin' "....Eliza had committed a faux pas at the races, and Freddy was drawn to that--drawn to her lack of polite veneer. In the same vein, Clark had just spent a day being razzed and put down by Lois.
I have often walked down this street before;
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am I Several stories high.
Knowing I'm on the street where you live.
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour Out of ev'ry door?
No, it's just on the street where you live!
And oh! The towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near.
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear!
People stop and stare. They don't bother me.
For there's no where else on earth that I would rather be.
Let the time go by, I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live.Sure, Freddy knows he's in love with Eliza at the time, but I think it's the same type of thing--Clark was drawn to Lois, and felt he had to see where she lived, what she did when she wasn't being her reporter self, etc.
And has been said before, at least Clark wasn't looking through the wall--although he could have. But I got the impression that until Lois walked to the window, he was looking inside
it.
