(I assume your quote is referencing my favorite exchange from an otherwise very forgettable version of Robin Hood.)
Uuuumm… No idea, actually. I only remember the reference, not the source.
I think I feel a story idea. What if everything else in S1 would have been the same, but Lois would have reacted to Lex's evasions at that first dinner with aggressive determination instead of passive acceptance?
Oh boy. Would Lex have still been intrigued because of the Superman-angle? Would he have resorted to more drastic measures to get her? How would the pheromone incident have played out? Oh boy.
