Whoa!!!!!! Like others, I can't decide whether this is Lex getting into trouble, or whether it's something Lex planned. But I can't wait to find out!
The dinner conversation was excellent, Nan. Perfect fencing on both sides, each subtly slipping questions in but never really revealing too much. It would be so easy to believe that Lex was just simply interested in Lois as a romantic - or sexual - companion, but of course Clark's seen the diary and knows that whatever else he might have in mind Lex sees Lois Lane the journalist as a threat. Which means I think he might just be in on the apparent kidnap.
So what we need now is
HELP!!! SUPERMAN!!!Sorry I haven't visited these threads for a while, Nan.
I have been reading HTIT and enjoying it very much, but life is sort of catching up on me right now: there are only two months to go before we emigrate, and I have four weeks of work left and
lots of stuff to do before I finish. So I've been dilatory at posting comments on lots of things. Your post in the poll pricked my conscience and I knew I had to tell you how much I'm still very much enjoying this - I really love your approach to S1 and S2 rewrites and the way you so easily mix up lots of different plots, making them all flow so clearly and smoothly.
:p <-- me, green with envy!
