I have to say 'wow' too, Bobbart--that was some really nice feedback to read. I'm glad you enjoyed it. The first time I watched that episode, I was infuriated by the mayor--some vicarious living through Lois's eyes there, I admit--and what she did to Superman. And I hadn't thought about it, but we'll say that it was one of Trask's men.
Thanks for leaving feedback.
And, Joy, I love the way you put that--Clark protects world, Lois protects Superman. And really, isn't that the way it goes, even before she knew who Superman really was? Thanks for the comment!
