I generally agree with Commander Courage concerning the Lester kiss scene. Why create a whole lot of fuss for not including it, just because it might connect to a film that may not be liked by some. The kiss has been there for YEARS now, one fourth of a century (in Ridley Scott's words for ALIEN ), and just leaving Lois know would be wonderful indeed, but pointless since the story would go NOWHERE. With the amnesia kiss back in, one can safely assume SR takes places afterwards. Which is a nice thought, really, because that was the intention with SR all along.

Look, booh, fact is, its just a movie. A comic book movie. So the 80's sensibilities to be brought back in SR just to fit the story told in STM and SII is stretching it. You can just as easily say that all three movies take place in an alternate reality from ours (WHOAH!). Never mind the 25 years between the films. In the end of the day, that doesn't really matter.

Anyway, I agree with you about the mother scenes. I think we can have both Cal-El/Lara-El and Jor-El/Cal-El scenes brought back in. However, Jor El's time must be dominant. I say use her only on the Clark scenes, and not the other ones, the Luther scenes and so on.
