More like out of cover.

Smallvillians hire their cops from the same acadamy as Sunnydalites.

Not after where it's been.

How was she stupid?

I think the country needs to have some kind of diplomatic status of a
foreigner in order to have diplomatic immunity in that country.

He wanted women who passed his tests. Presumably women sent to the club had
already been screened by this "Rocko" guy that supposedly sent Lois.

Okay, you need to see a doctor, either a shrink or an optometrist. If
anything detracted from her appeal is the show trying too hard and too much
dialogue, especially expository dialogue, for everyone involved. Not quite
nearly as bad as CHARMED, but distracting enough at times.

Altho the bottom of the costume was not flattering to Erica's bottom--or
vice versa. Again, nothing a sandwich or two wouldn't fix.

Okay, Keystone is another city, Wally West's home town, thankyouverymuch,
and they do have to be fast to keep up with the fastest man alive.

Two minutes is reasonable amount of time for cops who were already alerted
about the place in first place. There are cops in Chicago who are within a
few minutes or pert near any location in the city limits. In fact there's a
lawsuit in the system for some cops not responding for 10-15 minutes to a
domestic abuse call for someone who was violating a restraining order. A
second group of cops had responded and showed up to call after a first group
responded by failed to show up.

> No, really, Clark should demand his money back.

Clark would be squeamish considering where the money's been.
