It's really coming down to the wire, isn't it? I'm trying to come up with a happy ending (or at least an alive ending) for both Lois and Clark, but I'm coming up blank. And even if there is some way for them both to survive, they wouldn't stay together, and Rachael is back home waiting for Clark.

"It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then...he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him." -Batman (in Superman/Batman #3 by Jeph Loeb)
