Another strong instalment. I really like your writing, Terry, but your characters make me uneasy. Yes, I know this is an altworld, and most likely these differences are intentional, but it still creeps me out to see Lex acting (and I hope it is acting) so 'humane' and Jonathan so close minded.
I guess because it flies in the face of our preconceived notions, that it makes it harder to accept. And one of those notions is that Lana is NOT a wonderful, caring person who Lois doesn't measure up to.
Of course, I'm an incredibly biased Lois person so anything that shines negatively on her I feel the need to rush to her defense. Not that Lois needs defending by anyone.
I'm interested in seeing the further development of Clark as an independant man of his own. It seems that without Lana he's somewhat indecisive, and a bit wishy-washy. He needs to take a few stands for himself. I hope one of those involves who Luthor 'really' is.
Continue to post and I'll continue to read. Deal?
Tank (who really hopes that Luthor doesn't turn out to actually be a 'good' guy, which might be an interesting twist, but too much to take)
