1) It's not just books that aren't as careful with timelines as they should be.
That's what I figured...I was just trying to work with what they gave us, lol, but I guess it's not always possible.
a) Lois isn't well-versed with the horoscope and doesn't know her sign. (Admittedly, not likely, but possible)
b) Clark is mis-remembering when he interviewed with the DP. (I would consider this explanation highly implausible, given Clark's phenomenal memory and the importance of the interview to him.)
c) For whatever reason, Lois chose to lie to Star about her sign. This strikes me as the most likely of the three explanations. After all, it's not as if she hasn't ever lied before. Plus, she just met Star and doesn't know whether this apparently loopy new neighbour is trustworthy.
Yeah, between those three options, I'd have to agree that the third is probably the most likely. I actually just went and looked up when each sign falls, and stuff about them (the wonders of Wikipedia, lol), and I was thinking maybe Lois was really a Gemini instead of a Libra...then on a whim I checked the Contact script, and sure enough, Star first guesses that she's a Gemini before Lois says she's a Libra; so yeah, that makes perfect sense! She certainly wouldn't want this strange new woman immediately guessing her sign!
Although:
Or perhaps Tempus has messed with the timeline. [Wink]
Yep, that's gotta be it...always blame Tempus!! :p
Hey,her apartment number changes form time to time, (501 to 105) so why not her birth day?
Very good point there! Since she falls out a window at one point, I tend to just think of it as 501, but that's just me. :p
