Silas' thoughts on Clark:
Shorter, less... something.
Bingo. I've figured out why Clark not looking so recognizable bothered me and has been nagging at me. It's because he's probably nothing like the Clark people have gotten to know over the years, especially after he and Lois got married. The S1 Clark isn't exactly the most confident person I've ever met, especially since he's grappling with his new superhero creation and all the hoopla that it ends up causing. On top of that, he's dealing with a new job, new city, new faces...the kid is probably overwhelmed and going crazy internally. I think little things like confidence and self-esteem can change an entire outlook on a person. Granted, I'm not inside the museum with them, and I don't know what these other actors are like, but I bet the only Clark people have known for some time is this extraordinary person with a great wife and family and blah blah blah and so that's who they're trying to imitate, unless I'm way off base. To fill in Silas' thoughts for my own sanity, I think he's less Clark without Lois.
A cranky, off-balance item, but an item just the same.
<snort>
All night, Clark had cast his observations and comments into the conversational black hole which sat firmly between them.
LOL, such a great description.
Dun dun dun. I look forward to Thursday!! It'll be my break for studying for finals.

"Sure!" (if I can figure out who the heck you ARE!)
OMG, the number of conversations I've had with people who's names I can't remember...
