[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 429262, member: 23"] That's a very persuasive argument. I have to agree that it's stronger if it comes from Clark, and I quite like the idea of him giving the game away through his subconscious actions. I just wish it was via a means that doesn't involve physical clumsiness (I'm pretty certain I'll always roll my eyes whenever I watch that awkward stumble over the rug). Oh, interesting. I've always just assumed he was repeating the American pronunciation, as British RP accents like Zod and Ursa's would usually pronounce it as "H[B]y[/B]ooston". I've just re-watched the space scene, though, and I can hear exactly what you mean. The astronaut does say it more like Hewston. My best guess is that it's Terrence Stamp and Annie Ross (or possibly Sarah Douglas as I'm not clear which Ursa scenes are most heavily dubbed) saying how they [U][I]thought[/I][/U] Americans would say it and not quite getting it right (even though I've gone 40 years without noticing it).
