What? Hardly any FDK yet?! This is not to be borne.

Hmmm. That was unexpected. Don't know what to think about Clark's reaction, honestly. I really didn't get a very depressed vibe from him. Guilty and angsty, yes, and lots of unresolved issues. But contemplating suicide simply felt out of proportion to what he seemed to be feeling. It's natural to consider it in the first stages of violent grief, yes, but after seeing him starting to heal so well, it seemed out of place. A man looking forward to getting back to his city and his life cannot have thoughts of suicide. It was like it was a token thought or something. If that makes sense. blush

Mightily freaked out about Jonathan's reaction. The relationship between Lois and Jonathan has always been one of my favourite aspects of Lois and Clark, although the series never explored it to its full potential. So although I can quite understand Jon feeling that way, my heart broke for my girl (Lois) a little bit more.

This is really a chapter to stir up the waters, isn't it? smile An uncomfortable chapter, but one that adds to the build up of suspense. Really need to get to the next chapter!

“Is he dead, Lois?”

“No! But I was really mad and I wanted to kick him between the legs and pull his nose off and put out his eyes with a freshly sharpened pencil and disembowel him with a dull letter opener and strangle him with his own intestines but I stopped myself just in time!”
