Lois also just beat Lex in the most number of times a character was knocked unconscious stakes. Quite an achievement seeing she joined the show half way through the run! I think fans of the Lois Clark dynamic deserve Smallville Season 11, and I genuinely hope DC’s team manage to convey the best of the show into static art, including the sparkle of Erica’s Lois, rubbing up against Tom’s Clark/Superman.
