Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Wrong Clark TOC can be found Here

Surprise! I know I said I wouldn't post until tomorrow night, but I had a good weekend of writing, so I thought I'd post tonight and give myself an extra day of writing before Friday's post day (which *will* happen, unless my Betas throw out everything I wrote this weekend... that's never happened, but you never know).

Anyway, comments welcome.

Loved it. Especially Lois' awesome idea about Superman hypnotizing people by kissing them. If I wasn't reading at work I would be LOL.

Maybe a kiss?

Lois: You sound pretty sure of that, Clark. How do you know what Superman would agree to?
Clark: ...

I find it odd that Lois keeps arguing with Clark about what Superman would or wouldn't do. I guess she's trying to persuade him, but she knows that Clark is the expert on what Superman would do. Wouldn't a persuasive argument in favor of Superman negotiating work better to sway him than a "yes he would", "no he wouldn't" type childish argument?

Jimmy for the win!

How, exactly, was Lois expecting Superman to "hypnotize" Clark in front of the terrorists? I get that she's thinking outside of the box or whatever, but she really hasn't thought this through. And she seems to think that telling Clark that she believes that Superman will save them is actually encouraging him. From his perspective, I think she comes off sounding like a groupie fangirl. What she's saying might be encouraging if he knew that she knew, but even then he might feel like she's putting all the responsibility for saving them on him when he's already stressed about it enough.

So who got shot? The police? One of the gunmen? Willie? And how much did Clark convey with his cat/dog code besides the fact that Cat and Bill know what's going on? And did any of them who caught on wonder how he knows this?

The story posted early. I was very surprised to see it.

Oh, so that is why Lois was seperated from Clark. they took her too use the old system to print out the plans.

Fuentes: What type of idiot brakes into a place without learning about everyone there first?

Maybe he only learned who the people at the DP were, not those elsewhere.

All the better to finance other projects with.

He knows SM hangs around the DP, so he upped the ante.

Lois is not looking far enough.

He saw another woman.

Wait, the system is down? I thought only the phones were cut off. Oh wait, I guess it would ultimately be in some way connected with the phone.

Lois:He escapes handcuffs all the time. It is quite exciting.

they are touching.

Actually they shield each other about equally either way you put them.

someone identified correctly what Lois is to Clark.

Their friendly whispering and how they worked together while handcuffed.

but she underestimated my boyfriends power.

The audience is loving it.

Clark:I guess I better sit down.

Doing his homework before storming the building doesn't mean he will necessarily recognize any given employee on sight. I wonder whether Willie told him who was there.

Another question comes to mind: who was Lois trying to email? You can't just send an email without a recipient.

I was so hoping Lois would end up in Clark's lap.

Lois:Only because I need to expose you as the crook you are.

Clark:Partner sounds more permanent and connected than "date for the evening".

Lois:But Clark is so much better at it. Anyway, he knows my body more intimately so he knows where to protect. I mean, he has more experience protecting me, from Sebastian Finn, for example. He saved my life twice, in one day.

More like overly possessive, treating her as a possession.

Fuentes:So Lois here is Luthor's girlfriend. She is worth more than I thought.

Lois:Lex, now look what you've done.

Lois:Shh, if they hear you they might realize their plan is flawed.

Lois:What part of machine guns do you not understand. In the battle of the Somme, one machine gunner took our 100 attacking British soldiers in some cases. There is a reason Kitchner's army is said to have died in an afternoon.

Clark:Why didn't they move the tanks in first.

Lois:Tanks would not be put into production until the next year.

Clark:But didn't Churchill get them into full production during the Boer War.

Lois:Churchill was a reporter in the Boer War, he did not enter the government until 1911.

Clark: more closeness.

So that is what the paper is.

How is she not seeing Cat and Bill? At first I thought it was because they were only seeable by x-ray vision, but if that was the case then they would have had to admit to each other that they know. Plus, how would they see Clark's actions.

Lois:We should have had Clark look for it earlier.

After what he has done to other crooks, would anyone deal?

If he is dead, she can print it without as many sources, the dead can't sue for libel (OK, maybe their estates can, but still).

guess she has a point there. To get justice, Lex needs to be tried. That would be a fun story, Lois and Clark and Superman as witnesses in LEx's trial.

Actually, if the guy just died I think it is about as prize winning. Now, an expose of someone dead 50 years would be another story.

Considering what really happened, she should have zero compassion for him.

Especially because he is the one depriving her of having her way with Clark.

Repeatedly no less.

Lois sees the truth of what is up.

Yes, but he thinks he has driven a wedge between her and Clark, or that Cat has.

Why did he let the fish live?

Lois:Especially after you shot me. You don't even do rescues right Lex.

That would require his underlings to want him to live.

On the other hand, just because the kidnappers recognize Lois does not mean they recognize anyone else.

Jimbo:I am sure they don't recognize me.

Clark:I am just reading lips.

Lois:Whose?

Clark:Cat's

Lois:Well, as long as you aren't touching them.

Clark:Lois, you want me to talk about super-hearing with Luthor here. Really?

Well, Lois, one reason is that you never told him CK=SM. although that is in large part his fault for being a lunkhead and not going to Kansas this weekend.

At least someone is questioning this.

Maybe that is just from listening to them talk.

That seems a major jump.

Because Lois and Lex have never previously appeared in photos? No one shot a photo of Lois and Lex at the White Orchid Ball?

She needs to tell him she knows The Secret, before she can fully encourage him this way.

If he was not so busy looking at Cat he might notice this, and figure out she knows.

Oh, I was hoping she was looking at her hand titly held in his. That was the image I had in my head anyway.

The pressure of being with Lois and not being able to do what he wants.

If this was season 2 the bad guys would have kryptonite for sure.

You're within firing range either way Jimmy.

Clark:We have to keep my cover, so I can't tell you now.

Ah, maybe he has figured out she is pregnant. we get Lois in Clark's lap. Hmm, and with that dress.

he is going to finally get serious about our relationship.

more touching.

They are stuck with a nuclear bomb, and she was being friendly-like with Lex. What is there to not bother him. Oh, plus he has to wonder who did take down those people down a level.

Clark:Yep, Henderson and Grant are not that good.

As opposed to reality where she married Clark.

Lois:When?

Reader:Well, you did as much in your dream with Jimbo as you did with Clark.

Lois:What, no, I did not make love with Jimbo.

Clark:

Lois:I didn't even have an intense makeout session on the Honeymoon Suite bed with Jimbo.

And she believes this one time he was not lying. Why?

More like both. I don't think Clark prevents Lex from confessing love. Lex has nothing but disdain for Clark.

But being in Clark's lap is so much better than anything that happened in her earlier lives. She has gotten way more from this Clark then she ever got from "True Clark". True Clark only kissed her at most 10 times, and with the Christmas kiss I think I still made 3 of those up.

Well, we will get beyond them eventually, maybe. Although no time soon at the speed this story is going.

But he left the gunmen behind, can't Remi and Fuentes just release the others?

It just speeds up the time of decision. Also, if they really took saw our faces=must die as a motto, they would have killed already.

Havn't they heard of superhearing and x-ray vision. And nighttime patrols. No need to contact him.

Well, to be fair, Lois you are in contact with him. Not the most you have ever been, but pretty close.

Interesting, she could be seen do have said "how would I contact Superman? Were handcuffed together".

Clark:Isn't it wonderful.

Fuentes:But you can still scream Miss Lane, and that is how you normally contact him.

Lois:Yes, and he understands it a lot more than I do.

She knows from personal experience.

clark:Don't tell them about what happened at the hospital.

This is actually true. Making hand gestures does not count as speaking.

Clark:Maybe it wasn't Superman.

Lois:OK, I did do some hand motions to him, but they were much closer than through a window.

Clark:If I hadn't been here doing my taxes, I probably could have saved Lois.

more closeness.

Should he really admit he knows what they are after?

But why not just shot him and take the payoff from Intergang?

Lois is paying attention to clues for once.

What's the use, she is dating the man. More likely to turn on them than listen to them.

we will soon meet Bobby Bigmouth. He and Dr. Klein both really don't show up in that many episodes, but get mentioned more. For example we never see BB in "Individual Responsibility", but he is the one who tells them about Newtrich.

This always make him seem more crazy than anything. What can he get from having his dirty bomb.

Lois:He's already heard about your bomb.

Lois:I am so glad Clark has learned to keep his suit hidden.

This makes it sound like he may have larger goals. This seems to crazy just for money.

Clark:Not quite as good as when she was on my lap when I made her pasta.

Clark:Well, obviously Remy is not all bad.



at Wells and his false talk of curse. Oh wait, is that not what Clark meant by "lack of action"?

Lois:I'm professional.

Clark:Well, Lois, being accessory to Superman working with the terrorists might be seen as grounds of having violated your parole.

I wish I really believed they would get a chance to actually talk.

But why would he want to do either of those? And how would he be anything other than a criminal if he did?

Clark:And which one of us knows Superman better.

Lois:I do. He really can't say no to me.

Clark:LNN would never spin it that way.

Clark:And what good would it do for Linda to be in contact with them.

Oh right, things are over with Linda.

Exactly, who is she talking about.

It's not like his name is Shelby. It should be obvious no one would name a female dog Bill.

Clark:The only one who sleeps on my bed is you.

No, those type of insults are normally saved for people from Montana. Kansas is much too populous for that.

She does have strong anti-rural prejudices.

Jimmy:You have not seen his dog yet.

Clark:Hah, I knew he paid no attention to Jimbo at the "Magic of the Night" Ball.

He is right.

Superman II Lois:Thankfully for you, not in your universe.

Clark:Lois, don't even put such awful ideas in people's heads.

Lois:And Perry thought I wasn't saying that I knew out of meanness. I just have not been ready for 48-hour amnesia.

Clark:No more than anyone else's.

Clark:That will just spread fear of Superman.

Clark:I got the first exclusive.

They'll demand proof from someone they trust.

Like how he was able to survive the trip to space that Luthor engineered to kill him.

Clark:No, then I would know you know.

He should just tell her so she stops embarrassing him.

He does have a good point.

Deep kissing might fit the bill. Although maybe it would have to be more than that.

Thus protecting their child.

Jimmy:Yes she does, she just knows we would all object.

This would never work. A-Superman would never agree to it. B-How would they do Superman touches Clark. C-How would they even do the negotiate with Superman thing with her on his lap?

Jimbo has a really good point. Actually not only not just regular toching, but not anything less than super intimate touching.

Jimmy:Actually, my idea was worse.

Yeah, more touching. Although this seems more like

LNN report:Superman has developed a new date-rape technique. Police have now included him as a suspect in all unexplained rapes over the last year.

What exactly was she suggesting? Anything less would undermine his rescues.

Lois:But you sleep with him all the time.

Clark must really like this.

Clark:Seriously discuss. We are talking about lying about Superman's abilities in ways that if talked about will make everyone afraid of him.

Cat got shot?

She would at a minimum take him and Lois.

I think they *don’t* know them, after all.

CLARK: That’s torture!
LOIS: Such torture. /makes note to wiggle a bit when sitting down/



Would she get her Pulitzer?





Hobby? Maybe he could manage to get her mother into a sanatorium after she drinks herself into such a stupor that she becomes vegetative. He turn her sister first into a stripper and LFI-start and then into a hard drug addict who’s turning tricks. And her father, he could get both his legs broken in multiple places when he runs out of money and can’t pay back some depts?



Well. If you consider the first sentence and that he’s watching Cat, maybe he is sharing with Lois?

Well, the bomb does contain radioactive materials and plutonium is hard to come by…

Not unless she’s tickling his funny bone.

Well, Jason always suspected telepathy.

That’s technically true. He should have become a lawyer.



But he’s already been harmed, so…

Buh, every crook from Capitol Hill to Boston’s Crane, Pool, and Schmidt know about his dealings.

She could take out an ad in the classifieds section?

LOUIE: Yeah, I know he looks skinny, but he’ll eat the hair off your head if you don’t watch out.

He said, ‘red cape’. Maybe if Superman showed up naked and showed Remy a really good time?

Yes, but she isn’t into sleeping with Lois in her bed. She’s more the out-all-night-sleep-all-day kind of feline.

The civil war general?

Hmm…Funeral and Englishman came out later. Was he already a known bigshot back in 1992?

I still think it would be more likely to mention Cary Grant. Hugh Grant did get an award at the Venice Film vesitval for "Maurice" in 1987, and he was in a few other films. The biggest thing I see is he was in "The Remains of the Day" in 1993, so I am not sure that was out yet or not.

/Jumps quickly in/ IMDb states "Four Weddings and a Funeral" came out on March 9, 1994. This Part takes place on March 26th, enough time for Jimbo -- the youngest of the group -- to be familiar with Hugh Grant's name. /Jumps back out of discussion/

Good point about "Four Weddings and a Funeral". That was the top grossing British-produced film to date, and was the first film to star Hugh Grant. I had forgotten we were in early 1994 by now.

So it makes sense that Hugh Grant would be a big enough star to get some notice.

For the oddest reason, I thought we had 1991/92 instead of 1994

Of course, this means Lois got her cat within the last three weeks, when she also had time to watch the movie and had time to switch from her crush n Mel Gibson to Hugh Grant.

LEX: This sounds reasonable. She did once blow off a date in the last few weeks and I already know she's quick to jump ship when a better opportunity comes along. Superman is so toast

Michael

Thanks to everyone who's still reading. My apologies that this response is so late.

KatherineKent: Thank you for reading.
I wasn't sure if that conversation worked and told my Betas that they had to approve it before I included it in. Luckily, they approved.

mrsMxyzptlk: Thank you for long FDK.

Yes. I *did* go there.

CLARK: Well, Superman is a man like I'm a man, so I'm sure he wouldn't agree to anything I wouldn't agree to.
LOIS: Uh-huh.

She's working on persuasive but when you have two stubborn people arguing, they often sound like children.

Well, he stated aloud what the others saw coming and were hoping to avoid.

Yes, she's trying to prop him up by saying she believes in him, which doesn't quite work when he doesn't know that the "him" she believes in is ALL of him. Her idea was to have Clark go to the roof and "contact" Superman, therefore they wouldn't have to be in the room at the same time. As she said, she was just spit-balling ideas.



Lex-C is kind of out of the loop on this one, not really knowing Cat or Henderson. Many things pass over the heads of the Jimmys. Perry knew Clark was concentrating on something out in the newsroom, so even if he didn't know CK=SM he would realize that Clark was up to something.

If Willie and Fuentes communicated about the hostages via walkie-talkie wouldn't Clark have overheard it? Willie may have said something before they went up on the elevator, which is why they arrived with guns drawn.

I've always wondered this myself. Maybe she sent it to all staff. Also how could she send the e-mail if she knew the system was down?

John: It's always great to be greeted with a Good to hear.



Give them time.

CLARK: I may be better at shielding you, but Luthor would be better at accepting the bullets into his body.

LOIS: Either way, it's not welcome.

Well, in canon Fuentes DID end up taking Lois as his sole hostage.

LEX: What does any of that have to do with our hostage situation? Lois, reach into my pocket and withdraw a couple thousand dollars to bribe them with.
LOIS: Not even in your dreams.

LOIS: Because like some hero we know, I act before thinking.

They are only visible if one is looking at the stairwell exit behind the snack area (the door Lex tried to escape out of). If she doesn't look there, and concentrate hard, she won't see them.

CLARK: Me? How would I have found Dragonetti's vault?

Maybe they only know of Lex's softer, gentler side.

LOIS: But I want to see the worm squirm!

LOIS: But I get to risk my neck more if he's still alive. It shows everyone else what a terrific investigative reporter I am. If I'm just looking through some dead guy's files, how boring is that? See, not anywhere near as impressive.
CLARK:

But she doesn't know that.

CAT: See how useful I am?
LOIS: No.


LEX: What kind of sicko do you think I am?

LEX: It was an accident!
LOIS: Yeah. Yeah. We've all heard that one before. Maybe Fuentes shot you by accident, too.

Or they could use him to access all of his accounts.

I'm sure they don't, either.
LOIS: I'm an undercover reporter! Nobody is supposed to recognize me.
This is another reason it never made sense to me that Lois would date and/or marry Lex. How could she continue her career if she was constantly being photographed with Lex for the society pages?

LOIS: We're handcuffed together. You could've whispered it in my ear.
CLARK: And have you exclaim aloud "You're Superman!?"
LOIS: I wouldn't have done that.
CLARK: Uh-huh.
LOIS: I wouldn't have, because I already knew.
CLARK: What?!
LOIS:

LOIS: It isn't MY job to reveal HIS secrets to me. If Clark really Loved me, he would tell me.
CLARK: I can't win, can I?
EW: Not anymore, flyboy.
