What is the meaning of life?
Where is the end of the universe?
Why are Carol's cliffhangers so evil?
Like many others, I was relived that it was Pop Pop who died. (Sorry, Pop Pop, I didn't mean it like that... but....)
And I
loved how Lois took care of Clark and comforted him that night. And I
loved their kiss. And I loved seeing Lois and Clark at the Smallville Corn Festival in a previous chapter, by the way. And I loved that Clark seemed ready to acknowledge the possibility that Christopher just might be his biological son.
But then there was the evil cliffhanger...
However, like Patrick, I do think it shouldn't be hard to convince everybody that Christopher is Clark's son. I mean,
everybody has remarked on how much Christopher resembles Clark. There is no way that can be just coincidence!
And Christopher started crying when he was near the Kryptonite... Carol, I'm sure you haven't told us many times before that Christopher has been crying.
AnKS commented on something that I think is worth repeating:
In addition to other lunkheaded notions, it seems that he's absolutely positive that Lois would never want to be with him.
No, Clark doesn't know that Lois is in love with him, does he? I've blamed and blamed and blamed Clark for his lunkheadedness, but Lois should open up to him a bit more and let him know that she is in love with him. She probably doesn't dare, because she fears that her pride and her self-esteem won't be able to take it.
She is in love with Clark, and she admits it to herself, but
he isn't in love with her, or at the very least he is nowhere near to admitting to himself that he probably is. I don't really blame Lois for shying away from confessing her feelings to Clark. I mean, how humiliating is it to admit to someone who don't love you that you love him? And the two of you have to stay together for - what? Three more years? - and how unbearable will those years be if he just wants to get away from you even though you have told him that you love him?
But even so, if Lois did tell Clark that she loves him, he would be forced to think more about his own feelings for Lois.
