As a big fan of the comic books, I thank you, Michael, for giving us the ORIGINAL Krypton, with the ORIGINAL Jor-El and Lara. The sanitized version after the John Byrne revamp never sat that well with me.
Surely coming from a cold world like that, Clark couldn't, even with the Kent's influence, be the warm, caring person he becomes. I guess it's the old question...how much is cultural upbringing and how much is in the genes?
Anyway..yes it was a nice segue, a glimpse into Clark's toddler years, and now Clark has motivation to get with Lois and nail Intergang!
Hope everything's OK with the family. Did the cat show up??
