He whispers that he loves her but she's probably only looking for se-
So much more than he can ever give,
a life free of lies and a meaningful relationship.

I really enjoyed that, the parallels between the two relationships, the way they both were really hopeless, even from the start.

Plus, I have much love for Alicia in particular, so it was great to see her included in a vid.

Thank you!

I really enjoyed that, the parallels between the two relationships, the way they both were really hopeless, even from the start.

I do kinda see those two relationships as showing the types of relationships that will never work for Clark -- with Lana, it was all about denying his alien nature and with Alicia, it wasn't actually all that much better (he let her believe that he was 'like her', a meteor mutant).

Plus, I have much love for Alicia in particular, so it was great to see her included in a vid.

I adored Alicia. If no Lois Lane existed for Clark Kent/Superman, I would have shipped Clark/Alicia over any contenders (I've been a Lois/Clark 'shipper since before Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman aired). Despite her bouts of... insanity.
