I'm the only one who approves of Mayson, I gather.

I loved her intro, and she seems to be just what Clark needs right now. Although the fact that he can't/won't tell her about Lois indicates that the relationship is doomed. Poor Mayson.
Very believable; and great seeing the gradual progress, and the overcoming of each hurdle in turn.
One thing did bother me.
He came to believe that he might never be entirely cured. He’d reach a point where he could manage his addiction, and that was the best that could be hoped for.
George rejected that theory outright, naturally. He was positive, he said, that Clark would make a full recovery and undoubtedly emerge from the experience a stronger, more self-assured man than ever before. That was George’s experience of these things, he said.
I have, thank God, no personal experience with addiction. But this contradicts most "mainstream" thought about recovering addicts/alcoholics, from what I understand.
According to AA, for example, addiction is
never cured. An addict or alcoholic is "recovering" for the rest of their life.
Kind of like you never get over the loss of a loved one. You just get better at dealing with their absence.
Not that I think Clark is going to have a relapse. (You wouldn't do that to him, Yvonne, right? I said, RIGHT?) But neither do I think there's such a thing as "fully cured." I think he'll have to be careful to avoid red kryptonite for life -- for entirely different reasons than the non-alt-Clark.
Don't like Mayson.
