Favorite Scene:
Actually, I think the one where Lois plays the Space Rat victim. It’s just playful abandon and then the mood change when she asks Clark to put her back down. Really well done.
Quotes:
CLARK: See, I think what makes Christmas special is the whole spirit of – (hearing something)
-- shopping, I just remembered... some, uh, last minute shopping.
LOIS: The spirit of shopping, that sort of sums it all up, doesn't it?
LOIS: It's just, everywhere you look, you're just sort of... under seige. Ribbons, wreaths, trees, mistletoe; Santas, Elves, Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Pounding you, day and night, in your face, 'You must love Christmas, you must love Christmas, you must love Christmas... […] Just once, I'd like to _feel_ Christmas.. Discover it, you know? Unwrap it and be surprised by how wonderful it is, instead of having it shoved relentlessly in my face like half-off coupons at a swap meet.
MARTHA: I never spanked you, but right now, I'd like to drop your britches and tan your hide like cheap leather!

The Space Rats make adults act like children. Greedy children. Lois still obeys Perry when he confiscates the rats. So, more child than adult. Superman is affected by the Space Rats compound but it clears up after a couple of hours. Everyone else gets a hangover, just like with the Pheromones. The Space Rat goo is a highly sophisticated psychotropic mindaltering drug
