Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion Fun with Polls Jimmy's Girls - Which One Should He Have Ended Up With?

Simple, really. Which of the girls that Jimmy was involved with did you think he should have wound up with?

Well, I didn't like *any* of the girls that Jimmy dated, so I thought it would be interesting to see how he would fair up against dating the Girl of Steel aka Supergirl (bad joke, I know). There was even a story involving Pre-Crisis Supergirl and Jimmy Olsen in an imaginary (and rather lame, but funny) story where they ended up getting married. Heh, heh, maybe I should post that to the list . . .

I voted "other".

In Soul Mates, we are led to believe that Jimmy's soul mate is the girl with the red hair. I'm a romantic at heart, and firmly believe that each of us should marry our soul mate, so I vote for her.

- Vicki

PS - I assume your question applies only to the girls on the show, and not fanfics (such as, for example, Deck the Halls...)

I voted for other only because the pollster forgot to put up a choice, none.

I don't dislike any woman enough to stick them with a loser like Jimmy.

Tank (who thinks that the only character more lame than Jimmy was Jack)

I agree with Vicki. The Soul Mates girl should be the one.

James

I voted other...Supergirl.

I had to because of one of the stories I'm working on which has Jimmy proposing to Clark's cousin Linda after they've dated for four years.

Of the girls listed, I liked Penny the best, but I will admit to being a little biased that way, having made Jimmy propose to her in the S6 finale...

A very close second was the unknown red-head from SM; always thought the series should have done more with her. As it was, the whole soul mate thing was ignored if your name wasn't Kent...

Angela from SG was cute, so I could have lived with her as Jimmy's girl -- and, of course, there's Lucy. The long-time comics reader in me always wanted Jimmy to finally get Lucy in much the same way that I wanted Clark to get Lois, or Lois to get Superman: after all the stuff that the former had to put up with from the latter in each case, they deserved to get the girl (or boy) if they still wanted her or him! Not sure that the object of their desire deserved the seeker, so to speak, but that's a topic for another time, and probably another forum.

And I remember the Jimmy-marries-Linda story, too: classic Weisinger SA stuff, and fairly well handled, though the resolution of the soap-style plot always seemed a bit off, especially by comparison to Lois' reaction to learning Clark's secret in the series. But those were simpler days...

Anne, you should read my stories; I have JImmy dating Supergirl. If you're interested, they're in the TOC message board - Deja Vu, Shockwave, and Deck the Halls With Double Helixes (it's in the Fanfic message board).

I would like to read your story when you're done, so keep me posted!

Jaxie

I hated that TPTB insinuated that the redheaded girl was Jimmy's "soulmate". We hadn't seen her before and didn't see her after! What was the point?

My first choice for Jimmy is Lucy Lane with Supergirl coming in a close second.

Amen, sister! Right on!

If there was going to be a soulmate, we should have seen more of her; it was just wrong.

Jaxie

My feelings have already been posted.

Lucy Lane!! Then he and Clark would be brothers, wouldn`t that be neat
