Very nice little story - certainly much better than the original episode. I always thought the fight felt a little forced, too...I hate shows and movies that have the characters fight for the sake of fighting (we've been cruising through old Justice League cartoons on Netflix before they go away tomorrow, and, like, half of them fall in that category. They turn Superman into kind of a jerk. Also see: BvS). The evolution of the A plot was also better than the episode.
Only one note: the 4th part mentions the reporter using photos from his phone instead of Jimmy's pictures. I'm pretty sure cell phones in 1997 didn't have cameras on them...I remember my now-husband's phone from around that time having an LCD display...phone games consisted of that one where the snake goes and eats apples and gets longer...and, I think, Tetris. Even when I started my current job in 2001, digital cameras were giant, certainly compared with real cameras of the time.
Overall, a job well done, and a nice read.
