Well, the plot thickens. It'll be interesting to see where this comes out. It's intriguing to see the way you weave in similarities and differences with the Pilot that we all know.
Lois is definitely not behaving as brilliantly as I know she can, and I'm almost tempted to say she deserves to be kidnapped for doing something so dangerous, but I don't think Clark deserves to get in as much trouble as I know he's going to in order to rescue her.
And, man, why does Lex always have to get Kryptonite!? I hate that stuff, and it was so terrifying to realize that Luthor was wearing it on his cuffs!
I love the paragraph about Clark thinking about the future being all we can change and how he's had to learn the lesson of forgiveness. That was a really profound thought, and he'll definitely need that ability when (hint, hint) he becomes Superman.
Looking forward to what comes next.
