I really wonder how much of an insight Kal/Clark is going to get into 'being human', and that which they put up with.
I know in a real sense he can't understand what it's like to be a slave--it would be like putting on a blindfold and saying "Hey, I know what it's like to be blind!" The ability to stop the pretense at any time makes it useless in a practical sense...but I do think he'll learn about Earth, humans, and himself, and the connections between them (if I can do it! *crosses fingers*)
I've wanted to write a road trip story for ages, and it's a bit hard when one character owns various jets and the other can fly, and neither is likely to be willing to take a few days off to tool around the country. :)
