I, too, would have loved if Lois noticed that Clark gave away his Lex interview to her! And I would have loved if she noticed that he defended her to her colleagues, too. Well, sigh - Lois Lane of the Pilot was unnecessarily bitchy.
Some things happened differently here, though, compared with the Pilot. Clark and Lois got uninspiring Chinese food, for one thing, but I loved the change in fortunes. ‘He who throws dirt is losing ground.’ - what does that mean? Wo is throwing dirt? Who is losing ground? Lex? Lois's colleagues?
But the best fortune by far was Clark's, of course. “The one you love is closer than you think.” That's adorable! And Clark knew it was true, too, so he didn't dare show his fortune to Lois!
I'm hoping that Clark and Lois will have more success with Platt's notes here than they did in the pilot, and that they will manage to nail Dr. Baines and Luthor that way, or at least that they will manage to save the colonists!
