You guys just kill me. You're not only fanfic readers and writers, as you would seem to be at first glance. You're a group of psychics. Seriously.
So, I am going to be doing the 'no comment' comment wherever I can. Though some of you have won prizes!!
To start off:
And Utopia is not supposed to have any threats to worry about. And one way to make him appear not to be a threat is to treat all the Tempus stories as fables -- maybe even deranged ravings that one would be embarrassed to mention in public?
To ChiefPam goes the crystal ball. Not sure she needed another one, as she has apparently been gazing into one. But there you go.
And then:
Anyways, if I met two time travellers, one good and one bad, Lois would probably search out for the bad one
Bettina- welcome!- and you've won a lifetime supply of chocolates for summing that little plot knot up in a nutshell. First, their memories are still fractured on the whole event. They have bits and pieces of it. But, yes, the bad guy is absolutely who stands out for Lois, and the one who has their focus... for now.
My first thought was that we were looking at one of Clark's later incarnations. Who else would tumble so completely and instantly for Lois Lane?
The award for this one is so tough. You know how you play those carnival games and you're off the target by the teeniest, tiniest bit, a fraction, but still so close you really should get the prize? I'm not saying that's what this is... just, Sheila should maybe get a sticker or something. Or a coupon for a free soda.
Next Category, Things Said Better Than I Could, but which hit the mark and warm this writer's heart. (Should probably get a shorter category title.)
I'm so intrigued by the Lois-Clark dynamic right now. I love how she's watching him... she knows him, but she doesn't. He's her partner, but he's not - he's her future husband. He's Clark, but he's not - he's Superman.
I love how that captures the push/pull Lois has when she is contemplating all of this, and how her life fits his.
Which brings me to:
It also recalled echoes of "Don't Tug on Superman's Cape": "Something about you always made sense to me."
That is exactly what I was trying for. In the midst of the confusion, the craziness, there's this rightness about Clark to Lois. Of course that works both ways. Comforts her, but also makes her nervous because... it comforts her!
His first thought is to help them acclimate, which proves that he's a descendent of Lane *and* Kent.
Yes! And I have loved the Silas speculation, every bit of it. QoC wants to boot him. Chris finds him galatically stupid. Lab pointed out that he is from a time that doen't really know subterfuge and suspicion. But this one quality noted here is one I hoped wouldn't be lost. He does ask if they need help. That is his first inclination, despite his absolute inexperience with those who break the rules.
Oh, and this:
my one thought is maybe Silas just thought Lois and Clark were doing some kind of extreme role-playing mentioning the heat vision and all. They probably have some insane fans around...I don't know.
No comment. But Jen gets a brownie. Which she will need to share with Jose...
So when is Silas going to faint after Clark floats?
Thank you to all of you for your participation. For your comments and good words and hard questions. You are all so generous and I really do appreciate it.
Ice cream for everyone. Pick your flavors. You totally deserve it!
