Quotes:
TEMPUS: Lois Lane, the most galactically stupid woman who ever lived.
JESSE AND FRANK JAMES (after they are outgunned by Tempus):
FRANK: Jesse, it happens to every man once in a while.
JESSE: Not to me.
FRANK: It's not your fault; his was just... plain bigger.
JESSE: Size never made no difference before.
FRANK: You gotta get your mind off this, Jesse, or it could affect your future performance.
Details:
It’s Perry’s birthday. Jimmy provides Lois’s present: checked suspenders.
HGWells accidentally drags Tempus from the future into the present. They then end up in 1866 because HGWells tries to stall. Tempus robs a bank. In the end, the plot happens in 1966. Tempus is parked in 1866 asylum at the end of the episode.
Lois leaves herself a note that Clark is Superman.
Bunnies:
Clark in 1866 flew his great-grandfather in front of his great-grandmother to Kansas City. What if the event became a folk legend - "The flying man (and his lady of the night) *)". It's a story Lois hears during GGGoH.
*) If you need the tongue I cheek part
Lois thinks of using the time machine to cover events in history. What if they actually start doing that?
