I must admit I haven't rewatched the pilot. Maybe it was the movie. That has been on TV a lot lately since the great success of the series, so it would be easy to find. I also have the 2 DVDs that went straight to video after the series was canceled. Anyway, I gulped too when it was Lt. Carter that was shot in the story. Amazing how things hang with you. In daily life, some lines from Lois and Clark pop into my head, but nobody would get the relevance except this group.
