Hi Iolanthe,

No, that isn't going to chase me away.

I totally agree with you that Teri Hatcher is *THE* Lois Lane and all others must be compared to her. I would say that Erica Durance comes in as second followed by Noel Niell(sp) and then Phyllis Coats. I don't even consider the various actresses that were in the movies.

There is another problem and that is that in neither canon did Clark 'grow up' with Lois Lane. They were not friends through HS although they did bring Erica in and have her spend a week or so in Smallviille High. She was still an outsider.

Yes, Chloe makes a terrific reporter,however, her role as Watchtower was invaluable.

I gather from the way you are taking this that that aspect is being ignored completely since we have already jumped to Superman's debut.

I could just be being picky on the going through school together thing, but I do feel that it is important. A large part of the mystique was all the relationship building that went on and her not knowing his secret.

I would guess that is why you have given her amnesia from that head injury.

Oh well, I hope you don't mind my venting. I'll hang on and see where you are taking this.
