Agree with the above posters.
1) Really a new take to have Dr. Klein be Van-El, Clark's sibling! That explains why Dr. Klein can come up with so many scientifically advanced (and somewhat improbable) rabbits from the hat.
2) Bobby Bigmouth - yay! Good to see him for the "first time". This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
3) I'm glad that Dr. Platt wasn't killed either - it seems that in every rewrite of the pilot, or every time the pilot is referred to, poor Dr. Platt gets the chop. What a relief to see that he's alive this time!
Carol, the pace was leisurely through many of the previous chapters, and now we're recklessly careening down the rollercoaster, as things start to happen!
Please post more soon!
