Hi Nicole,
I'm almost afraid to comment, now that I know you write for a living and I'm a mere amateur.
You do write dialogue very well and get so much emotion from your characters in your speeches. It's so easy to read, the talk seems natural.
I too like Jor-El and thought the part where Clark saw his biological mother was very moving.
Keep writing and I'll keep trying to comment, though I'm afraid I don't have a lot to time to give fdk regularly.
Yours Jenni
