Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion Lois & Clark The Planned Season 5

Does anyone know what was gonna happen with the S4 cliffhanger? Coz I hear they had it planned....

Enough to let some of us become almost glad we didn't get one, Jensguy. <G>

Tim Minear said later, after the cancellation, that the baby would grow superfast to become a rebellious teen who would cause all kinds of problems for his parents by using his superpowers recklessly. :rolleyes: I'm pretty glad we didn't have to spend half a season on that.

You'll note that TM kind of resurrected the idea later in Angel. Which is when my interest in the show waned, I have to say. Connor just bugged the heck out of me.

There was also a planned episode for season five, I believe, that would have Lois and Clark transported back in time to when they were teenagers. Or swapped with their earlier teen selves - can't remember which it was. That one might have been fun.

Think there was a third plotline mooted, but can't for the life of me recall what that one was.

Yeah, that does make me almost glad the show was cancelled..... Thanks Labrat.

As for Angel, I stopped watching when Conner was a baby.....

My memory's foggy -- I wouldn't have remembered that L&C-as-teenagers idea (and somebody ought to write that, actually, it could be cool). I do believe there was going to be another alternate-universe fic, wherein alt-Clark is reunited with alt-Lois, but I don't remember any details of how they planned to achieve that.

Anyway, as fifth seasons go, I think the fans did a pretty decent job -- I've heard a lot of people say TUFS (the unaired fifth season) was their first introduction to L&C fic, and S5 (Season 5) was going so well we did a sort of half-season for S6. You can find them all on the archive, under "themes," I think.

who also has the fancy formatted multi-media versions of S5 & 6 on her website , but wouldn't want to boast...

Ah, yes, that was the third one. I knew it was something I'd have wanted to see! Thanks for the memory injection, Pam. And thank heavens for fanfic, which probably did a better job on this one than anything the show could have produced, anyway!
