Oh, you're probably right about Tess--the flipside of her pragmatism is fervent devotion, whether to Lex or to the Blur--I just hate when it undercuts her common sense.
I feel so cheated by the whole Jor-El plot, it just makes me crazy.
If the Davis situation had never happened, I'd expect Clark to be willing to try changing Zod or reaching him. But the Davis situation did happen, and Clark wouldn't be a person if he didn't re-evaluate how his own belief system might have contributed to it, and whether he needs to adjust that belief system going forward.
That definitely makes sense, and I can see that Clark still isn't quite Superman yet, so he has some learning to do. It may even be a wiser decision for him *not* to give Zod the benefit of the doubt; this Zod is clearly a lot closer to the one who destroyed Krypton than he is to Jor-El's good buddy. I'm just not sure how, after Davis *and* Zod, that Clark's ever going to get back to the place where he tries to change villains by believing in them--so I have a hard time not seeing this as a step backward.
