That would be fantastic. I imagine there would be still be some tension between them, but it would be good to see something like that, her father showing himself to be just that, a proud father, and not just 'The General' with a family chain of command.Comment

I don't think anyone needs to talk Clark into becoming Superman or putting on the suit. He has a mind of his own and I'd like it to be his decision. Lois can have the priviledge of naming him Superman.Comment

"Convince" may have been a strong word. Maybe more of a showing of support of him being who he is meant to be. Dr. Fate said that Lois is the key, and ISTR in Lois and Clark one of the baddies (Tempus, I think) commenting that Superman wouldn't really have become Superman if the love of his life (Lois) hadn't constantly been throwing herself into harm's way. Somehow, IMO, Lois needs to figure into him finally deciding that he is ready to be Superman.

To be honest, I think in Salvation we've already seen a big part of why Dr. Fate called Lois the key. If it hadn't been for that dream or vision and the love he had for Lois, Clark might have actually gone with the rest but instead he chose to take the knife, maybe because even he knew that he would somehow be all right. If not, then at least Dr Fate did. That vision was his destiny. Lois is a big part of that destiny. If he survives, and we all know he will, he will be able to reach it, but not if he had ascended like the rest of them. In other words, his love for Lois played a big part in the decision he made at the end of that episode, therefore she was the key to Clark remaining on Earth, so he can reach his destiny and become Superman.Comment

The situation in Smallville when Lois will know from the start that Clark and Superman are one and the same will bother a certain segment of comic fans. There are some who think Lois and Clark (in the comics) have no journalistic intergrity - that Lois should have stopped writing Superman articles as soon as she found out the secret. So I think that those fans will detest the Smallville situation even more, since Lois will be writing articles (and supposedly influencing the world) already knowing his secret.Comment

On the contrary, Lois can be very tough on Superman regardless of her feelings for him and that's one of the reasons he loves her. Those who believe integrity is missing should watch the JL episode "Question Authority" where Lois, even though dating Superman, expresses her ambivalence (which Clark helps her spell later ) over the strong-arm tactics he and the Justice League had been using lately. She tells him to his face that she's a journalist, not a diplomat. Later she says "I've been as tough on the Justice League as anyone, especially on Superman. That's just because he's set such a high standard." Later there's redemption and she cuts him a break, but Lois's integrity was never in question.
The show has one season left. A lot of over-thinking of minor elements is taking place. I've read the wish lists and it would be impossible to accommodate a tenth of the requests. I wouldn't sweat something like journalistic integrity when so much has to take place in 22 episodes to get Superman off the launchpadComment
