Oh my goodness.
For Jor-El and Lara to stay alive - that would have definitely ensured a different story.
But for them to die pretty much immediately, and leave the baby to Jonathan and Martha ... we could so easily end up with just the cannon story.
So ... what is the reason for this story to be told? There must be some repercussion from this. When will it hit? What will it do to Clark or to Clark and Lois?
Finally ... is Jor-El dead or alive? Lara seemed convinced he was dead after the telepathic link cut off, but what if he was just unconscious - and possibly captured? Or, is there more of a soul-deep bond, and she 'knew' that he was dead?
Can next Saturday come quickly please?
