Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Wrong Clark TOC can be found Here

I wish I could write faster, so I could post this arc faster. Thank you for your continued readership.

Comments appreciated.

she really is forgetting that this story could makes things very bad for Clark.

Especially since Clark has never been told about it, so without telling the chief that CK=SM, it might be a bit hard to explain how he knows anything.

Of course Lex knows about Clark's proposal.

She really should have tried harder to make sure all her notes were secure before leaving.

Sounds like he tried to back out of giving the help he promised.

So did Lois get any hands on connection with her partner while they were busting Carpenter?

If only.

They really should have made sure to lock them up safely when she stored out.

She might let him have her body, but would she reveal the location of her story notes to him?

Perry figured out what is happening.

I think that should be "are a slow time".

Sadly for Ralph he is uninformed about Lois's real employment situation.

Of course.

I think that should be "will be in contact with".

Probably not, she seems to be making no progress against Lex. I said this was a horrible plan from the start.

At least she has some sympathy for Mrs. Cox.

And he has the audacity to ask her to marry him?

Clearly he thinks that little of her opinion.

He is such a manipulative creep.

Another set of lies from Luthor.

Sounds like the pregnancy is starting to get to her.

Oh, I thought it was other things about Lois that cut down on the monotony.

This is so sad.

At least this story is starting to move, which is about all I can say for it.

I just love this line.

Good lines.

Another good guess. Although if he just wrote it might not make him qualified to run a newspaper.

Another good line.

Go Clark, go.

I think that should be "always what they".

I think that should be "idea of how".

Not a love letter, apparently.
CLARK: But Lois *loves* investigating stuff. I thought…
Mrs. COX: Good. Be so kind and hold this box for me, will ya?
RALPH:
Mrs. COX: Bye.
RALPH: Wonder what’s in there…
/Ralph’s body parts bounce off the walls all around him/

Wouldn’t it be fun if Ralph got knocked into an oncoming subway by a homeless ex-con he just spurned?

Is Superman going to dangle Daitch off a roof, like he did with Dillinger?

So, he knows Mrs. Cox, then?

So, she’s starting to develop superpowers thanks to the growing superfetus inside her? Say, how many months has it now been since Nightfall?

So, Bruce still wants her as his bedbunny, now that he knows she’s available to employers?

John: Thanks for the FDK.
Yes, but only if it gets reported.

But being that Clark already admitted that Lois had told him a little about it (okay, while he was dressed as SM), and because Perry doesn't know WHO specifically Lois told, and since Clark knows that Lois knows he's SM, I'm not seeing the problem here.

Of course, WE know that, but how would Lois know that Lex knows? Because she saw his man Mitch in the park that day?

LOIS: Clearly, there's no sanctity of one's desk anymore. /this, of course, assuming that her desk would have been left a shrine to her until she returned./

Usually when people promise a 'favor' they aren't expecting it to be redeemed with a federally prosecuted crime, especially after one has JUST LEFT PRISON! So, yeah, that might've made Eugene Laderman a bit nervous to help out Lois.

You mean, did they hide under the desk together? Sadly, no.
CLARK: I did offer to take her to the ceiling with me, but she declined.
LOIS: Not at the Met Star publisher's office, Clark. Really!

CLARK: Should I feel offended?
EW: I believe, Clark, that John meant 'if only' the story were in your hands.
CLARK: Right. Sorry.

JIMMY: I thought they were blank! Why would she keep written in notebooks in her desk?
LOIS: Who would be stupid enough to search my desk?



Clark is being sincere.

'Write and edit' had been in first guess, but even 'write' is better than never have published before.

CLARK: Why would I want to go to Fort Truman? I'm heading to England to find out who sabotaged Daitch's computer at EPRAD, much more important that some DOJ Press Conference.

I really should prep these earlier than 11pm. Thanks. Fixed.

/hangs head in shame/ Thanks. Fixed.

Darth Michael: Thanks for hanging with me for the long haul.
Why would she be expecting a love note from Clark delivered by Jimbo?

KIRK: /running for his life/ See, I told you we shouldn't have come back into time. Earth women are the worst non-warp driving species imaginable!/tosses Spock a red shirt/
SPOCK: Sir, is there some reason that you've demoted me and left me with the irate female of your....
LOIS:
KIRK: Sorry, Spock!

LOIS: Why? Why? Why? Would you ever let any of Ralph's writing end up on page 1?

HENDERSON: I understand that feeling.

Forgot that I never showed you Lois's POV about the birth certificate story, did you?

Bruce owned the Gotham Gazette?
LOIS: Who told him I'm 'available to employers'?
CLARK: Well, I did air some personal problems with Batman... How was I supposed to know that Batman knew Bruce Wayne?

Hey, isn't that what I wrote?

LOIS: Then, before I leave him in a pile of goop, I'll teach him a thing or two about underestimating his enemy.
CLARK: Yeah, I've had this lesson, Luthor. You're in for a heap of fun.

LEX: Duh.

EIC LANE: He's fired!

Oh, dear.

LOIS: Who are you calling a whore?

No comment.

CLARK: I think you are mistaken.

LEX: *Previous?* Don't you mean 'current'?

No. Meatloaf.
LOIS:

It was one of the things I didn't quite understand with Arrow's interrogation technique. Wouldn't people usually cop to the charge rather than get more arrows into them, even if they were innocent?
/Also, earlier 'Tommy' reference, means I made it to the end of S1 what a perfect picture!

That's a good question. He must have bought controlling shares in the company. I'm not sure how that works, though, since that would mean that a majority of the shareholders would be wanting to sell at the same time. If he only buys what's available at any given moment, that should drive the price up pretty heavily for remaining shares, right? Then some remaining shareholders would be looking to sell because suddenly their shares are worth much more than they paid for them, and others would want to hold on to see how high the stock goes. Or something. I don't see him getting controlling shares all at once. He would probably have to buy them over a period of time.

Lois is still ridiculously delusional. She seems to think that she hasn't actually quit the DP and that she's just on hiatus. She quit. No one can "steal" her stories, since they're not her stories anymore. She has no claim on anything that anyone writes for the DP. Her notes are also likely DP property per her employment agreement. She should have no expectation that when she quits that she has rights to anything that she's been working on as a DP employee. Furthermore, information is information, and just because she knows about it, that doesn't mean that she has exclusive rights to disseminate it. I'm not saying that Ralph's not a sleezeball, but it's not outside of normal practice for an employee to pick up where an ex-employee left off. Though when she left, Perry should have taken what was in her desk and gone through it for anything useful and assigned it to other reporters. He was really remiss in leaving her stuff just sitting there in the storage room without at least going through it first.

Lois really seems to have no grip on reality. The further she goes into her mess of an "investigation", the more I think that she actually does belong in an asylum. She seems to think that the world revolves around her and that certain people should automatically know what she expects them to know and think what she expects them to think. She also seems to think that a method of investigation that has never yielded anything useful but has massive risks is worth pursuing regardless of its detriment to absolutely everyone. I realize that she puts no importance on her personal life relative to her career, so ruining her relationship with Clark is reasonable to her in pursuit of a story, but she's also damaging her reputation and career. Her justification in risking her career is that she's trying to save Clark, but even if she does succeed, he's not going to want to have anything to do with her by the time she's done. Nothing she's done since Nightfall, or maybe earlier, has had any positive effect on anything.

Furthermore, the more she interacts with Luthor, the more he has control over what she does and what she learns. She would have had a much easier time investigating him if she had stayed low on his radar and given him no reason to pay attention to her.

Finally, once she does get evidence of any sort on Luthor's wrongdoings, is anyone going to believe her, and will it be admissible in court? She just might be stepping on the toes of the police in there more effective, prosecutable case against him.

mrsMxyzptlk: Wow, I've really made you think.

Good point. I hope you don't mind but I shared your thoughts about this with the BatP/HoL Episode Discussion thread . I have a tendency to question little details, such as this one, the writers expected the audience take at face value.



So, you're saying that Lois is the type to admit that she's made a mistake, instead of stubbornly continuing to barrel down the wrong road until her car falls off a cliff or until she yields results, whichever comes first?

Yes, hindsight is usually 20/20.

HENDERSON: Tell me about it.

Thank you for your comments and continuing readership, despite wanting to bash in my characters' heads. Yes, Lois's life and investigation is spiraling out of her control. The more tightly she tries to hold on to that control, the more it slips through her fingers. That's on purpose.

LOIS: Say, what?

The name of this story arc is "Rotten Luck Happens in Threes". The rotten luck isn't all Clark's.

Next part’s 150! Michael

Really? I thought it was Part 155... oh, right. FDK for Part # 149. My bad.

LOIS: Perry's so totally eating frogs.

It's how I keep things exciting.

I'm sure there are wild bananas growing somewhere in the world still, right?

I never knew a calender break-down could be so exciting.

Still funny.

CLARK: Nope, 800# Gorilla. She's going to drop him off a building.

LOIS: Cinderella!?! Wow, you're right from a certain point of view, she's a total whore. Interesting interpretation.
CLARK: Thus ends Fairy Tale Theatre, Lane style.

That's the one.

It's not available on Netflix yet, since it's still airing (I think) or are they on-to S3 already?

Still think that would be something the Exchange Committee would frown upon.

LEX: Sounds like she needs to go on a diet. No more Fudge Castle for you, young lady.
LOIS:

Michael

She said that I'm right.
LOIS: Um... no, I didn't.
CLARK: She implied that I'm right.

CAT: Oh, wait! I think that's mine.
LOIS: /Well, nobody else was doing it!/

Oh great. There goes the planet…


He appears to be very easy to please.
LOIS: /drops out of her undies/
CLARK: Michael
