And now she’s ruined for all other human males. Let’s hope the NKers are punctual.
Now that you mention it, the NKers arrive in canon between the first and second time canon Lois and alt-Clark meet up. If alt-Zara wanted alt-Kal-El, there really wasn't anything (alt-Lois) holding him to alt-dimension, was there? So, why not go? I'm guessing the NKers haven't arrived yet, or arrived a few years early and didn't like the man Lana had made Clark into...
CHING: He wouldn't make a good lord. He cannot even stand up to his concubine of a girlfriend.
ZARA: That's not necessarily a *bad* trait.
CHING: <Looks at the envy in Zara's eyes, and know he's lost her forever, because he'd never let her boss him around like that. Needs to make a drastic move> He'd never be able to defend himself against an attack from Nor.
ZARA: <sadly> Yes, you're right. Never mind. On to plan B.
CHING: <knowing he's Plan B>
You mean, his being married to Rachel wouldn’t be clue enough?
Yes, but in alt-dimension Thomas is working at a video store in Wichita, while Rachel is in Smallville as sheriff.
That will be awkward when Dead Clark returns.
He’s a glass half full guy, isn’t he?
He's more of a "the glass is between full and empty" sort of guy. Here, he's just lying to himself (since it works so well with others, he thought he might try to use it on himself.)
Does it help if Lois would have been caught just as easily?
CLARK: A bit.
Why? Maybe they’re militant treehuggers?
Right now, currently cushion is at 8 parts, so staying as is... of course, I've got houseguests arriving in a few hours for 10 days... soooooooo... We'll see. The NEXT part (57) will definitely be on-time and full.
