Yeah, I see people all the time who look exactly like someone else, 
except I *know* it's not the same person.  Plus Superman is an alien 
while Clark, who was born on Earth, and has family and friends back home 
who can back up his being human.

That being said, I still love this:

I watched:


Shogun "Chapter Six: Ladies of the Willow World" - Another episode I 
enjoyed but have no idea how to summarize.  At least I'm enjoying the show.


The Equalizer - "All Bets Are Off" - McCall helps stop an international 
terrorist organization.  Those street level crimes sure are getting 
complicated!
