I hope this part answered most of your questions about Zod.
So my favorite scene -- well, actually two favorites -- Lois and Clark meeting in the kitchen and the flashback with the Elmer Fudd nightlight. I can't remember which episode or even which season (I want to say around Season 5 or 6 -- the one where Lois goes undercover as a stripper.) But she used the Elmer Fudd nightlight as blackmail material.
What did you think?
