I, too, wondered how S1-Lois is going to explain her hair being back into its short bob when she gets back to her own timeline. Leave it to Tank to come up with the obvious solution.
The most interesting part of this chapter for me is Clark being frustrated with Lois' "moony-eyed cheerleader" routine now that he's lived so long without it. I definitely buy this and feel for him; the overarching theme of the first 2 seasons was the fact that she needed to get over her hero-worship to make the real relationship possible, so I sympathize with Clark for having to deal with it again.
Joan made an interesting comment, though:
This just reinforces it. Lois and Superman were never on equal footing. Poor Clark in the future
I know you've only watched the first two seasons so far, Joan, and you haven't seen how their relationship develops over time. So I'd be interested in having you expand on this a bit. When you say "poor Clark in the future" do you mean the S4-Clark in this story, having to deal with S1-Lois? Or were you making predictions for the next two seasons of the show based on what you've watched so far? I remember all the predictions and theories we had back when the show was being aired (and oh, those long summer breaks after season finales!), so the fact that you are going through that now is taking me back.
