WOW!!! I just wanted to comment on Sheila's fdk... I've been enjoying your insights immensely, Sheila!! For every part, you've pointed out something that I hadn't noticed or thought about... or sometimes just things that I couldn't articulate with anything other than an "AWWWWWWWWW!!!"
Speaking of "AWWWWWWWW!!!!" ... This comment/insight of yours just hit me right in the heart:
Clark is convinced on a deep level that no one besides his parents would accept him if they knew how weird he really is. It's one of the joys of the series to see Lois teach him that she will accept him no matter what--and vice versa.
GAH!!! So great! I really, really love that!
The other thing that got to me:
It also recalled echoes of "Don't Tug on Superman's Cape": "Something about you always made sense to me."
*sigh*
Just had to say that.
Oh... and: CC... it'll be officially Saturday in 12 mins in my neck of the woods... Have to leave for work in 10 hours and 12 mins... any chance you could post before then?
Sara (who now thinks she really may need help... leaving detailed fdk on other people's fdk...
