Okay, I've read now!
He was amazing with Christopher. Even I admitted that. I wasn't sure what had happened the day of our first 'date' – and I used that term loosely even in my head – but his relationship with my son had done a one-eighty. He had foregone any time set aside for studying without him, choosing instead to take care of him at every opportunity. It was to the point at times that the only thing I was needed for was to nurse him. He got up with him in the middle of the night and I could hear him talking quietly, telling him bedtime stories or something of that nature and only coming to get me if and when it became apparent that he really wanted to eat.
Clark
is shaping up! Wow!
Not with Lois, but with Christopher. Hopefully that means that he realizes that he can't just walk out on Christopher, and he can't just break up Lana's family either and take the father's place there.
And Lois has found the family that adopted their brother! And Jimmy is her brother's brother! That's lovely!
I still can't really stand Clark when he's moping over Lana, but you've got to understand that I've got a heart of stone when it comes to Clark's relationship with Lana, Carol. I'm not exactly an unbiased observer of Clark's Lana-heartache!
As for Lois's behaviour, I might have appreciated seeing a few more tender moments with Christopher. But if Lois's love for her son hasn't fully 'developed' yet, I don't altogether blame her. A friend of my mother's, a woman pushing eighty, suffered from post partum depression after she had given birth to her son over fifty years ago. She was unable to take care of her son for the first few months of his life. That's tough, but it happens. With everything that has happened in Lois's life, I can understand that she is depressed. I just hope that the pills she is taking won't harm Christopher!
Oh, and I
loved seeing Star! She is one of my favorite female characters from LnC. She is wonderfully weird, and weirdly wonderful. I just loved that she could see that Clark was from far away! And she saw that Clark was somehow connected with a pregnant blonde, and it wasn't right.
And she pointed out that Christopher was just so like his father, that is, Clark! Wo-hooo!!!!
I wouldn't mind seeing more of Star!
I also think it's great that Rahalia is Lois's boss. I snicker happily every time you mention Rahalia's name!
My only complaint is that there wasn't more, Carol!
