I find it funny that Herb thinks of Andres as the troublemaker as Herb has caused as many, if not more, problems by his own interference in the Prime timeline.

Love the M*A*S*H reference. Hilarious. He would have to use a younger version of Andres though.

It seems that perhaps the freight train, which blocked the Sheriff from making it on time to the Kent farm was due to Herb's meddling with the earlier one to give Lois the memories necessary to fall for Clark and thus knocking the trains in general off schedule.

I'm glad to hear that Tempus isn't around in all dimensions as he's quite a troublemaker.

BTW, in current time, they have an instant boiling water faucet available for tea, as my mother has one at her house and has for some time. Perhaps Herb should invest in one of those heat-pads for mugs to keep his tea from going cold while he thinks.

I still find it interesting that Lois was angry at Herb for messing with her mind, but not from changing the timeline so Clark didn't get shot or exposed to Kryptonite at all. I also wonder if those memories included some of Herb visiting the other Lois and Clark couple, which would explain her someone laid back attitude to him.

Why is allowable for Herb to tell them some things about their future after-the-fact, (that they'll have children, etc.) but not warn them that it is Trask causing all the trouble in Smallville so that Clark could be forewarned and take precautions? He could have easily brushed aside the dream about the baby as a just a dream without revealing so much of the truth.

In regards to auras and sharing them, because Lois and Clark were work partners for 2-3 years prior to marriage in Prime, did that mean that their aura sharing happened more quickly than, say, this couple's would, since they've only been partners for a few months? Or do they have to be all-the-way intimate for the bond to start?

I believe you wanted "it" here instead.

I always liked William Christopher.

That is not what happened. As Rachel said, this was the regular run.

Actually, he was thinking of the convenience of the tea bags. The tea bag started out as a silk or cloth pouch, but that wasn’t until about 1903. The paper tea bag didn’t really come on the scene until around 1944, shortly before Herb passed. In his time they steeped loose leaves.

Herb’s object was to disrupt the time line as little as possible. His only overt actions were – sabotaging Trask’s agents car, freeing Lois and providing her with transportation and her phone and releasing the Kents.

Actually, he didn’t mean to. It was a mistake on his part that the memories he implanted were of a later period than intended. He would have preferred to not tell them, however, once the cat was out of the bag, it was hard to put it back in.

Normal, everyday interactions are not sufficient. It is the prolonged exposure, sleeping together on a consistent basis and of course intimacy that causes the change to the physiology.

Corrected

Oh dear, Andrus is being sent back into the past? Shouldn't he be on probation after his fiasco with Tempus?


Home sweet home!

Star Trek!

Good ending. After reading the FDK, though, I think I'm missing some pop culture references here.

Just finished reading this entire story over on lcfanfic. Wow, I really enjoyed the differences from the original episode. The "battle" between 'tush-push' and Lois was very enjoyable to read.

Terry,

Thanks for the FDK!

It wasn't really brought out, specifically, in the episode, but by watching it over and over and reading the script it beacme very obvious that there was a LOT not said about the relationship between Rachel and Clark. Since the point of the challenge was to get Lois and Clark together it only seemed reasonible that there would be a conflict between Lois and Rachel since they were both after the same guy.

I'm glad you liked my little story.

Pheromone My Lovely - Matchmaker Style is a followup to that story.
