Kathy, you can come late any time you want!! I love reading your comments, and I think the stream of consciousness thing works just fine.
And you totally said something that I felt but failed to mention:
Oh, and I almost swooned when the football players came in with their bats and Clark got all serious and macho, stepping in front of Lois and Chloe protectively. That's our super boy! I think that was the first time where I seriously thought, "OK, this guy really can play Superman!" Great transition between his two alter-egos. Very much like how DC played the role; love it.
I am so with you there! That was perhaps my favorite moment of the entire show. Kept rewinding it on the TiVo to watch over and over again. I didn't bring it up here because I chalked my squeal of excitement to the fact that I'm such a damsel-in-distress fan. I love love love when Clark/Supes steps it up and becomes all protective. But since I imagine that's a fairly un-PC and also a very anti-Lois-as-capable-woman sentiment, I kept it to myself. Now I see that you and I do have the exact same brain, just split in two with about four hours of driving between us <g>.
I do see the Clex. It's all over the place. And I was kind of squirming over the locker room scene because I was like Clark and totally saw it as a ploy for Lex to buy himself back into Clark's life. I hate that - I don't want Lex to grovel. He already does too much of it IMO. Part of my issue is that it is always Lex doing the please-forgive-me song and dance routine. Clark is far from innocent in his dealings with Lex. I think we just tend to forgive his lying and partial-truths because we know that in the end, Clark = Good and Lex = Bad.
Know what I like best? When Lex is dealing with dark forces completely unrelated to Clark. I like watching Lex match wits with Lionel, although I'd just as soon have it be over something not Clark's mystery-related. I'd like to see that as the impetus to Lex's turn to the dark side.
See, even after nearly a week, I can still ramble on and on about this. Pretty pathetic, huh?
