I know I probably already surpassed my space limit as far as this folder goes
, but I had to pop back in to say that I disagree with Tank and Kathy. Now, I in no way agree with Lois and Clark's decision, but that's just the point, I don't think it *was* a decision at that moment. From what I always believed, and what I gathered from the context of the story, Lois and Clark are both extremely emotional and *not* thinking. Clark is grieving for (what he thinks is :rolleyes: ) the loss of his life and everything he's known, and, most importantly, including any chance he ever had with Lois. Lois, for her part, has lost her best friend in the worst way imaginable - shot down right in front her, because he was protecting her. So, not only is she feeling guilt, but extreme grief as well. That brings us to Lois's apartment: Lois is clinging to someone whom she considers a friend, someone she knows is feeling the same grief she is, and someone who just happens to remind her (however subconsciously it may be) so much of the man she just realized she loved, the man who she believes is dead. Clark... well, I already yelled at Clark
, but I really don't think he was fully aware of what he was doing. That, mixed with the desperate feeling that he'll *never* have Lois now that he's "dead," seriously clouded his judgement and his mind.
OTOH, I do have to agree with Laura:
Also since he is Clark, why doesn't Lois instinctivly feel more for her lover then funeral sex? Can't she tell that he is Clark in her soul if not in her head?
But, that may just be beacase I'm a hopeless romantic.
