Here's one more hoping that Wells is indeed going to solve this mess and save Lois. Though I still can't make out how that would work: if he saves Lois, she gets to meet Clark in 1993, so there's no need for Clark in 1997 to go back in time. Thus, he never meets Lois in 1987, she doesn't get pregnant and there's no Charlie... Will we get back where we started? Will Wells solution work? Will there still be Charlie? Or just Lois&Clark, but no Charlie? (or at least not a 9 year old one)
So many questions... while you, ML, have all the answers...
Loving it!!!
