Comment on the /\above/\.

It is so sad that the conviction rate is so low. No, not sad, mad ing! I don't know what it is in the states, but I hope it is higher than that!

edit:
OK, I found this article that explains the 5% thing in the UK.

Please read So we are weak on rape? Think again by Camilla Cavendish

Actually, if that article is correct, then the UK is doing better since we only have a 46% conviction rate in the US.


Now for my comments.

There was a happily-ever-after here that he hoped to duplicate for his own home and his own children. Which, of course, left Clark wistfully thinking about Lois again.
Dream a little dream, dream, dream, dree-eam.


The entire near-rape scene.

If I remember correctly, I remember telling Elisabeth that it's first incarnation didn't seem realistic enough. That it didn't have the right sound to it. So she cut out all the dialog and just described the scene. It solidified it for me and made it all the more chilling to me.

And yes, the conversation after made everything perfectly clear why this Lois is the way she is and the walls that this Clark needs to get through. Thankfully, he is a Superman, if not in name then in character.

But she was stuck with a barely contained shower that was probably painted black to cover up the mildew stains.
This is taken from real life. Maintence had gotten tired at the number of calls from the girls dorm about the mildew issue so, over one weekend, they, cleaned it as best as they could and painted all the shower stalls black.

Lois wasn’t sure exactly how to respond.
A confused Lois is hopefully a learning Lois.

“Actually, the police probably found nothing. Guys don’t stay unconscious for hours on end, unless they’re really injured. And I doubt you have it in you.”
You'd be surprised Lois, you'd be surprised...
