Slowly, but surely catching up. If I do one of these a night... I'll catch up when you do. Slow and steady wins the race. Just like Clark with Lois, huh? And then Lois wins. And wins some more  Michael

Mara never appeared in the films, thus she is some lady. On the other hand, virtually no one has ever made any medium involving Superman without Lois.
She is the only character besides Superman/Clark Kent who had any lasting presence to appear in the first comic. Let's see what else we get. They have introduced her in JL8. I had friends who were confident in saying "Clark is going to marry Lois", in their assessment of why it was so stupid Clark was pining for Lana in Smallville, and that was at latest during Smallville Season 2. These guys knew where it was headed, even when her character had not appeared yet. OK, I mainly just wrote that because I wanted to point out that that is how major Lois's role is.

ER: Slow and steady wins the race. Just like Clark with Lois, huh? And then Lois wins. And wins some more   In name only. He should have said that she’s a coalesced chunk of Midichloriens. Then he would now be in a relationship with Lois. Except that this is 1994 and neither know what Midichloriens are. CLARK: It's what gives me my power? Right? JIMBO: <<raises hand>> I've been feeling a bit chumpy lately.
Jimmy: ‘Chunky’. *sigh* He always messes those up. JIMBO: No, *'chumpy'*. Feeling like Lois is playing me for a chump. LEX: I don't really care about fertility. I'll just bang her till I get bored.
ER: [suddenly in shock that Lex Luthor is evil after all] CLARK: *This* is surprising? John: I thought he hooked up with some lady and eventually had children,
MARA: *Some* lady? *Some*? I was the Emperor’s Hand. I was in the third chapter of the first book that really started the entire EU. *Some* lady. Next they say that Clark’s wife was *some* Amazon.
ER: <<whispers to Mara>>
MARA: He married his *concubine*? Really? Now that’s tacky. I must have missed those books. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/a015.gif) Mara, huh? Is she related to Zara? LOIS: Don't anyone even *joke* about my chocolate!
ER: What happens when you force Lois to choose between chocolate and Superman?
.
.
.
She’ll choose the chocolate and then go to Clark’s to strip naked and demand her due. CLARK: Hey, Lois. Just because you got chocolate down the front of your shirt doesn't mean you need to take it...  <<voice goes up an octave>> Laundry? Sure, I'll do your laundry. I do Superman's too. <<clears throat>> I think you got a bit on your pants too.

LOIS: Now, if he'll only let me throw the game every once in a while.
CLARK: [Huh]
LOIS: Oh, I was referring to that other story. Michael

Except that this is 1994 and neither know what Midichloriens are. Unless Star Wars Episode 1 came out sooner in alt-world.

JIMMY: Man, what are you? Some nerd from the future? CLARK:  Future? No, why? Do I look like I'm from the future? LOIS: Notice how he just breezed past the 'nerd' description there? ER: It seemed rather excessive for such a distinguished gentleman Oh, so I should have mentioned it was an aside? EW: I must have missed those books. ![[Linked Image]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/dc/HeirToTheEmpire.jpg) <<I may have read this one>> ![[Linked Image]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/86/DarkForce_Rising.jpg) <<And possibly this one.>> ![[Linked Image]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/24/TheLastCommand.jpg) <<And this one>> ER: /more stuff happing in between/ <<EW: And that's where I stopped reading>> ![[Linked Image]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7b/N55627.jpg) <<Nope, never saw this one>> ![[Linked Image]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/dd/Star_Wars_-_Union_01.jpg) <<This looks like a comic, so I definitely haven't read this one>> /more stuff happening later. Some of it very sad. Some of it truly disturbing to the gentle heart/ Well, it wouldn't be SW is everything was happy, bouncing fun, now would it?

CLARK: [Eek!] Future? No, why? Do I look like I'm from the future?
LOIS: Notice how he just breezed past the 'nerd' description there? ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/froehlich/d025.gif) Thinks she has read The Thrawn Triology So you did meet Mara  <<This looks like a comic, so I definitely haven't read this one>> Yeah, comic. Not bad. It’s more a completeness-sake thing. I mean, I couldn’t really skip the Wedding of the Millennium (Falcon) now could I? LEIA: Hey! That was *my* wedding. Little brother got an X-Wing. LUKE: *Big* brother. Well, it wouldn't be SW is everything was happy, bouncing fun, now would it? They killed ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/frech/e020.gif) and and and made evil and *then* killed him. If I want to read about indiscriminate slaughter of the (anti-) heroes I lived with for over a decade, I’d read Song of Ice and Fires. Okay, I do that, too, but that’s different. The new license-holder <insert expletives that would cause Lois to blush> killed and . How *could* they? HOW? How…? Michael

But maybe if it had come out sooner, it would not have been so spectacularly bad. Maybe there would not have been enough CGI yet for Lucas to entirely ignore plot and character development.
