Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK- Breaking Point 1/1

There's so much going on in Individual Responsibility, it was hard to pick out a storyline to work with! So I went with something a little less obvious

I've always considered the whole Scardino arc of S2 to be a bit painful to watch, so I often skip from Lucky Leon to Whine Whine Whine (bad habit lol); the end result is it's been a very long time since I watched Individual Responsibility. It's redeemed itself a little in my eyes lol.

Hey Feli ...

That's ironic--I (and I haven't watched the show for awhile, too busy reading fanfic )--totally used to do something like that, too! I'd get to LL, watch that, and then skip to IR. I love the end of IR, so even though some of it isn't my favorite (an apathetic Clark/Superman ), I'd always watch it regardless.

I totally applaud you for going this route in your story for IR. I figured you'd maybe pick something related to the ending (b/c, see above, totally love it ), but what you went with fits quite well. I really enjoyed it!

How confusing of a time this would have been for Clark! How frustrating! Besides all the craziness of Dan and his relationship with Lois to contend with, Clark is also questioning his mental ability. His moral compass. If Clark can't trust himself, what really does he have left in life?

You really hit the nail on the head . Great job! Excited for more!

Poor Clark! To think that he's doing all this stuff because of a mental breakdown. How sad.

I know there's many anti-Scardinos out there, but the moment I hated most from IR (that not many mention, maybe because they're as scarred as I am), is when Superman FLIRTS with (and asks stupid questions to) the dog walker in front Lois instead of rescuing Perry. Yes, it's horrible that Clark would do that to Perry, but to flirt with another woman (or even consider doing it as Superman, let alone in front of Lois)??? No wonder he would think he had reached his breaking point? Then again, how could that NOT be the work of some evil scientist?! But I digress.

You're really pulling on poor Clark's heartstrings with all this angst. Shall we give him some good news next story?

Yay, feedback

Laura- I'm having fun exploring the less-often considered storylines. I love the ending (so sweet, and I love the way Lois looks at Clark) but as I said, there's a lot going on in this episode.

VirginiaR- the dog walker bit gets my goat too! I know he's under the influence of red K, but grr! What on earth is he thinking? As for the angst... I can't promise anything (haven't started writing the next one). Plus, I like torturing characters

Forgot to add- thank you for the feedback! You brightened up what was a truly rotten day

You are so right, Virginia...LOL--maybe I've been trying to mentally block out that dog walker scene? .

I've always hated that moment. To flirt in the Suit--in the way that he did--and have it be in front of Lois? (While his boss/friend is being abducted, no less? ) Argh! Definitely the low point in the episode...

Hope today shapes up to be a great one, Feli!

Hello Feli!

Hopefully the day has gotten much better since posting.


In many ways Clark owes his future happiness to Perry White, otherwise he might have never met Lois and discovered the love of his life. He defended him when other people (and Papers) wanted him out of Metropolis as swiftly as he came. So it makes perfectly good sense that Perry's kidnapping is causing him no small amount of grief.
