Well done, Lynn. Your idea of how aging affected Clark was both original and plausible, as was the way he faked his own aging to maintain his disguise. It occurs to me that, at least physically, Clark is now the disguise and Superman is closer to the real man. That must add to the appeal of starting over.
I imagine that he won't live for another century without finding love again, even though it's right that he should feel that way now. Despite the idea of soul mates, I can't believe that there is only one person in the world that Clark could love, but that's where my philosophy departs from the show's.
Thanks for sharing.
Happy
