On a lighter note,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
feiran and I watched a disc's worth more of the first season of Lois and Clark, and it definitely improved my mood. I don't really care for Dean Cain--he's not very handsome to my mind, and his costume as Superman is ridiculous--but I think he does a good enough job with Clark, and the rest of the cast is actually pretty awesome. I really wish they'd found a Perry as good as Lane Smith for Superman Returns (movie Perry was kinda blah-blah to me).
Something I noticed though? We got ten episodes into the show at least before kryptonite ever even came up. That's a record, I think, among the TV shows. Smallville had kryptonite from the first episode. On top of that, there was also a noticeable delay in anyone finding out about Clark's secret (actually, it was the same episode as the kryptonite one), which again, I think has to be a record. He was worried about it from the series' premiere, and hence, the costume, but no one was looking for him as Superman.
That's a nice dove-tail with the comics, where Superman's lack of a mask always served as his best protection from being found out. People assumed that since he made no effort to disguise his face, he had nothing to hide, no alter-ego to defend. That's more powerful than a pair of glasses and a change of hair gel.
Oh, and, speaking of which?feiran cracked my shit up when we were watching it last night. Superman was under an injunction not to use his powers, so Clark was boiling water for tea instead of heating it himself when Lois came over looking for Superman (through some wrangling, he ended up "staying with Clark"). Clark does a quick change into Superman (so much for not using his powers) when Clark says Supes is in the shower, and as he comes out, he pours some water onto his hand to slick back his hair, which, naturally, perfectly tames Clark's curlier hair into Superman's greasy 'do.
feiran: He had hair gel in his kettle!!!
Me: ::cackles and dies laughing::
