mrsMxyzptlk: Thank you for the long FDK.  So Lois is channeling Elizabeth Bennett! Perhaps a little bit.  Lois is putting on a show for the microphones in her apartment, but how does she know that Perry's office wasn't bugged? In which case not only would Lex know which story and which "hack", but he would also know what Lois is up to. And what is preventing Perry from discussing her predicament with Jimmy, Cat, or Clark somewhere in the newsroom that is bugged? When the Voyeur bugged the DP the previous summer, he only bugged Lois's desk. She is standing by the assumption that Lex is only interested in her personally and not the working of the DP. This assumption may be her downfall. Since Lois told Perry that Lex was the Voyeur, he is now on his guard and knowing that Lois's desk area was bugged in the past, and being that Lois has gone deep undercover, isn't likely to mention the fact on the newsroom floor. In fact, how does Lex not know that they're on to him? Would he really care if they were? His power is so overwhelming and over-arching would he not be able to defeat such a minor disruption to his plans? And if Lex doesn't have Perry's office bugged, then how much effort would it take to find out who Lois is mad at in the newsroom? Um... isn't Lois usually mad at her co-workers? Perhaps he'll review the tapes of the visitors to Toni Taylor and assume that Cat is the one to whom Lois is referring. Or someone else might be scapegoated by accident. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/e015.gif) Psst! Lois! Look for a man who wouldn't feel that you actually owed him anything for helping you. This is part of her 'lies to Lex' monologue to convince him to do what she wants on her behalf, not how she truly feels. How did she really expect him to react to what she told him? Once again she's expecting him to read her mind and know that she's investigating Lex when she has never given him any reason to believe that that's the case. She expected him to hear her out before reacting. Lois really treats Clark like garbage; I'm almost to the point of campaigning for him to go back home and try to patch things up with Lana. Or at least go back in time a few years and find his own Lois.  Maybe Lex isn't so bad after all. Why do people in stories and TV and whatnot always cite talking to oneself as a sign of craziness? Everyone talks to themselves. Maybe some people don't actually do it out loud, but my guess is that it's rare for someone to never talk out loud to oneself. Because they're always told in stories and in tv shows that this is a sign of insanity? ... Then wouldn't they want her on their side...? LOIS: Reporters are a petty bunch. So what happens when Lois's resignation is actually processed, and once she's done messing around at LNN, the DP board won't let Perry re-hire her because she's unstable? If she brings in the goods on Lex Luthor, they might see her differently. So at the end, she's still on the phone...? Or did she hang up before she yelled at Superman? It looks like she's still on the phone, so what is Lex going to make of her outburst? The way she phrased it, it doesn't quite fit in the conversation. Maybe that won't matter to him. Answers to these questions, coming up! Maybe if Lex discovers that Lois is still in love with Superman, he'll just dump her and move on with his life, brushing that one failure under the carpet. Leaving Lois with no love or job prospects in the future and Clark wanting to head back to his old dimension. Or not.

-- Continuation of Response to John's FDK -- But Clark, if she gave up on you, she would give up on the investigation. OK, he doesn't know that, but I had to say it to try and feel a little better. So, *that's* your solution? There is a reason I fastforwarded through most of "Barbarians at the Planet" and "Fall of the House of Luthor" the first time I watched Lois and Clark, even though I knew that Lois and Clark got married. My first clear knowledge of exposure to the show is from reading a TV troupes entry on the episode "Sex, Lies and Videotapes", so I knew Lois and Clark would get married to eachother and this was not the no net progress work we got with the 1970s/1980s Superman movies (although to be fair, I think even there the plan was to eventually put Lois and Clark together as a couple, that just went out the window when creative control went to other people). They should just give creative control back to those who deserve it! LOIS: Me! CLARK: ME! LOIS: Definitely not you, lunkhead. Me! FanFictionWriters: US!  LEX: ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/konfus/n065.gif) ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/konfus/d025.gif) But can she trust that the Jimmies won't also reveal this detail to Clark? So, is she still hiding her investigation from him? Or has she just not had the opportunity to tell him all? Give it up Lois. You are never going to get the Kryptonite. LOIS: Ye of little faith. As long as she is dating Lex no one there will truly respect her. So Lois's work will never speak for itself. Good to know. Only because as far as she knew Lex had died. Exactly. He only thinks this because he knows too little about that dimension. For all he knows Lois was a widow when he met her. But if she had loved Lex wouldn't she have been the widow "Lois Luthor"? No he is not. He belongs in Lois's arms, and since she is not here, he is not where he belongs. Cat means Metropolis. Daily Planet. Clark's been out of town chasing nuclear bombs. This is his first time back into the office since right after he was held hostage. Why didn't he learn his lesson about not rushing into things? Everyone told him he needs to talk to Lois. He learned that she left the Daily Planet, he wants to make sure it wasn't because of him. Are you trying to crush Clark? These are lies and she doesn't know he's listening in. She really should have used his name. Again. She wants Clark to know that she loves him, but not for Lex to know.

Ooops. Missed one. Originally posted by John Lambert:
I was re-reading part 143 (where they learn about Monique Kahn's death). I think Clark really has no one to blame for his current problems than himself. He is the one who did not trust Lois with information so many times. I think you mean "Part 43" because Monique Kahn doesn't come up in Part 143, which hasn't even been posted yet. CLARK: See, I knew I was at fault. I also realized with Lois knowing that Lex is the voyeur, if she, Henderson and Clark pooled what they know they could probably make a circumstantial case against Lex for the murder of Kahn, but I am not sure that would really hold up in court. With all the pull Lex has in town, it would never have made it to court. This is why they need proof, lots and lots of proof.

Let me tell you what's going on!" and then spits it out. You can't tell me that Lois doesn't know how to talk over someone and make herself heard until they listen.

If she brings in the goods on Lex Luthor, they might see her differently. The ends do not justify the means, especially when the publisher can be held liable for her actions and her safety. Besides which, her questionable methods might well get a bunch of evidence thrown out of court when it gets to that point. Her actions are a reflection on the paper, and if Lois ends up interfering with a police investigation, that bad press, if not actual legal action, will fall on the Daily Planet, since she was claiming to act in her role as a Daily Planet employee. The Daily Planet is in the business of reporting the news and selling newspapers, not bringing down crime bosses. They can't afford to have employees going off half-cocked on their own personal vendettas. Maybe if Lex discovers that Lois is still in love with Superman, he'll just dump her and move on with his life, brushing that one failure under the carpet. Wow, that's wishful thinking.

[/b]Yes, I meant 43. It gets confusing when I am doing re-reading about 100 parts behind. I more recently ended halfway through part 47, again, and this time am holding on to the nice calm of things being right longer.

It is the process of pushing things to the very edge, getting your way by being more obstinate and stubborn than your opponents. The term is usually associated with political negotiations. It might not be exactly the right term for what Clark did. His was more the laying it all on the line. Brinkmanship assumes each side has opposite goals, in theory Clark and Lois have the same goals. In practice, it is more complex, but it is probably not the right term. He followed her after seeing the chicken dress? At least in canon she was discussing the plan with him before the dress arrived. I should have said "this is Lois, she managed to keep her investigation of Lex so secret, she did not admit she was investigating him in her own thoughts for a few months". Actually, the cameras were never installed at Clark's, so you must mean 'he spent the night at her place' but Lex doesn't see Clark in a chair next to Lois's bed as 'sexual'. I meant the cameras from the DP and at Lois's place, I think more the latter. From this he is able to infer when Lois went to Clark's, and how long she remained there. Really? This story is harrowing? I did not know that. I probably overreact and internalize pain too much. That he should ask what opportunity that would be? Lois is the one who said it was a proposal of marriage. What else was Clark supposed to think she was talking about?

“Oh, honey, you didn’t?”
“That bad, huh?” Jerome asked with a wince as he stated the obvious.  Martha returned his smile as she sat back down. “The last thing a woman like Lois would want is to be a prize in a pissing contest with another man.” Yes, Lana ‘asked for his advice’ back in his own dimension. Jerome raised his hand. “I know. I know. The worst possible thing I could have said, apparently.” No, he could have said: Fine, go and marry your rich sugardaddy, you golddigging whore. I think that would have been worse. Martha decided it was time to refocus his attention off his proposal and onto other matters. “How did she discover your secret?” Superman and Clark both have the same birthmark on their…, well…Lois got to examine it during his hospital stay.

Martha doubted even if he could read Lois’s mind that he would understand her any better. Two minutes later in the closet, after they met again. CLARK: But you said you wanted me right now? LOIS:  “From everything that you’ve told us that Luthor did to that woman, there isn’t a chance in hell that she will marry him.” LEX: /holds up signed ownership certificate for one Lois Joanne Lane/ “How are Lois and Jerome like Pride and Prejudice?” Michael

As long as Lois doesn't reveal her investigation as a "personal vendetta" and gets results, thus increasing the readership of the paper, I don't think the bosses upstairs will mind much. Anyway, Lois, Perry, and Clark would argue "YES" it is the job of reporters to uncover crimes and crime bosses not being actively investigated by police. Or at least it WAS the job of reporters to undercover the ugly truth about things before they went all social media on us. EW: Maybe if Lex discovers that Lois is still in love with Superman, he'll just dump her and move on with his life, brushing that one failure under the carpet.
MRS. M: Wow, that's wishful thinking. I keep threatening John, that one of these days (you know about 2015, when I finish all those other stories on my docket), I'll write something where everything the reader would like to see happen and yet NEVER does happen in one of my stories because it would be too neat, clean, or easy. LOL. I have the strangest feeling that it would be the dullest story ever... either that of hilariously funny.

Well, I do have the insight (and outline) to know that there's a happily ever after at the end... because it's my story. So, yes, it could seem more harrowing for the Readers than for me.

Darth Michael: Sorry about not responding to FDK this weekend. I've become addicted to "Beauty and the Beast" (S1) which just became available on Netflix's Instant list. I've watched 16 episodes (or thereabouts) in like 5 days.  /BTW: The only reason I haven't become addicted to Castle is that it was dropped from Netflix's Instant List just prior to everyone recommending it on the boards. I'm currently working through about 10 other shows on discs, including Smallville, which I must say is a VERY slow process. I keep hoping Castle will be put back up on the Instant list./ On the plus side, he could have made it worse by proposing right after she told him that she’s pregnant with his love child, so ‘that he could take care of her’. No, I don't think that would've been as bad, being how Lois feels about doctors, hospitals, and children. Like ‘yes, and then she told me about her dream wedding with a 1000 white doves and 700 guests hosted in the top three floors of Top of the Towers’? Sounds horrendous. /clasps ears/ LALALALALALALALALALALA I thought so. Yes, Lana ‘asked for his advice’ back in his own dimension. Nope. Lana only wanted his 'protection'; hence why he's so confused that Lois wants something else from him. No, he could have said: Fine, go and marry your rich sugardaddy, you golddigging whore. I think that would have been worse. Superman and Clark both have the same birthmark on their…, well…Lois got to examine it during his hospital stay. Lip?

-- Continuation of Response to Michael's FDK -- Two minutes later in the closet, after they met again. CLARK: But you said you wanted me right now? LOIS: Yes, if he had read her mind properly, he would have seen she would have wanted him to last longer than two minutes. LEX: /holds up signed ownership certificate for one Lois Joanne Lane/ LOIS: Let me see that! /grabs certificate out of his hands and tears it into tiny pieces of paper/ LEX: See, Nigel, I told you that under the covers, Lois was just like any other girl trying to play in my world. He does think that, doesn't he? How sad for him to think she'll be that easy. Actually, he got hooked by her boyfriend’s tights. So, if she showed up only wearing SM's briefs...? LOIS: Hello? I want this to be a successful investigation, not a successful case of VD. LEX: Why should I care who stole Lois’s story about which starlet got the best nailjob done at the salon? Is there some reason he thinks Lois is Cat? LEX: You can pay be in kind, darling. That's what she wants him to think. CLARK: Why would I bring protection?
LOIS: [rolleyes] See! Wouldn't she rather that he brought protection instead of being over-protective? LEX: I fully agree. No wife of mine should cook or clean. I pay for those services. My wife needs to keep her hair coiffed and her fingers soft so she looks good at parties. LEX: Darling, why are your fingers so rough? LOIS: Oh, I was broke into your secret sex room with my lock picks. LEX: Mrs. Cox, go and buy the future Mrs. Luthor a puppy. Already housebroken. Hmm… and buy me a nice, sturdy ruler. MRS. COX: But, Lex, I'm allergic to dogs, which is why I ask you to keep Xerxes at the manor house. Because Loises tend to leave him? Yes, but she doesn't know that. LOIS: What do you mean 'Loises' as in plural? Why had she done that to him?
ER: /guesses/ Because she’s a selfish skank?
LOIS: [cries because she's been so mean to Clark, and then gets mad at Michael, and cries again for Clark and then mad enough to explode] CLARK: So, I picked the wrong week to propose. Gotcha. She could show up naked in his bedroom? CLARK: That might not work, but she can give it a try if she wants. LOIS: /shows up at his apartment in a harem costume/ I want you, Clark. CLARK: Okay. They’ll think I was hired because I’m dating their boss.”
Twenty other office skanks: Great, another one. LEX: ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/c085.gif) I got snowed in at my hotel in Chicago during the winter graduation of the UoC: Journalism class of 1993, and I got bored. No, that was destiny. And *her* fault [points to EW] /shrugs sheepishly/ Clark! [can't believe he's only thinking about himself and Lois even though that what he does]
ER: Congratulations, Cat! /throws lingerie shower for Cat/ CAT: Thanks, Michael.

Sorry about not responding to FDK this weekend. I've become addicted to "Beauty and the Beast" (S1) which just became available on Netflix's Instant list. Oh dear! ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/traurig/k055.gif) I so know that problem. You just want to watch one more episode. Maybe another one before heading to bed. 42 more minutes won’t hurt, right? Why is it midnight? I've watched 16 episodes (or thereabouts) in like 5 days. That’s just 3-4 episodes a day. That’s nothing. The only reason I haven't become addicted to Castle is that it was dropped from Netflix's Instant List just prior to everyone recommending it on the boards. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/boese/a045.gif) Those…those…Tempus-owned- ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/boese/a020.gif) On the plus side, now that it’s got 5 seasons under the hood, it’s probably going to show up on various local networks in syndication. I'm currently working through about 10 other shows on discs, including Smallville, which I must say is a VERY slow process. I know. I usually stick to one show at a time. Maybe do a drama and a comedy in parallel, so I can go long and short and funny and serious. <EW is enjoying herself> Just the reaction I was hoping for. ER: He failed the Bar, huh? Lawyer exam before allowed to represent in a courtroom. Clark’s apparently not good at lawyery double-speak. SUPERMAN: /hand to head/ Why is your pee green?
LEX: Oh, I take Kyrptonite supplements. Michael

The sad thing is you hit the end of the Season and you're ready for more and the episodes just aren't available yet. She thinks I'm human! Ha-ha! Well, I guess killing Lois by having her make love to SM is preferable to her dying by Lex's hand.
CLARK: Isn’t that like curing the patient of her hemorrhagic fever by shooting her? SAM: Sometimes it's best and more humane to put the patient out of its misery. LOIS: :rolleyes: Which is why my father made cyborgs instead of letting the braindead just die. ER: Yes, Lana ‘asked for his advice’ back in his own dimension.
EW: Nope. Lana only wanted his 'protection'; hence why he's so confused that Lois wants something else from him.
ER: Was going for Lana asking Clark for advice means Lana telling Clark what she wants him to do for her. LANA: It sounds more like Clark coming to ME for advice. Superman and Clark both have the same birthmark on their…, well…Lois got to examine it during his hospital stay.
EW: Lip?
ER: Right. Superman and Clark both have the same two birthmarks, one on their lip and the other, well… Lois got to examine it during his hospital stay. Belly button? CLARK: I don't have one of those. LOIS: And thus we know how I figured out you weren't from around here. LEX: /holds up signed ownership certificate for one Lois Joanne Lane/
LOIS: Let me see that! /grabs certificate out of his hands and tears it into tiny pieces of paper/ [Big Grin]
LEX: [upset that now he has to make another copy of his original document] MRS. COX: Oh, sorry, I sold your shares in LJL to a.... /checks invoice/ Mr. Kal-El. I believe he's middle eastern. What if Lex died of the VD? Sounds familiar. I think someone had Lex dying of AIDS in one of their stories and Lois was ghost writing his autobiography... SQD perhaps? LEX: But…she *is* a woman, right? I mean, I’ve not been chasing a guy, have I? /Realize that Tempus shouldn't have taken him out of the 1950s./
ER: [reminds Lex of correct decade] Lex does wear blinders. LEX: I've never had a problem with it before. LEX: You can pay be in kind, darling.
EW: That's what she wants him to think.
ER: And when he comes to collect? CLARK: That's not allowed. CLARK: Why would I bring protection?
LOIS: [rolleyes] See!
EW: Wouldn't she rather that he brought protection instead of being over-protective?
ER: But her exasperation is that Clark either has no idea that he should be responsible, or, worse, has no idea that Lois would be interested in using protection. CLARK: But I thought because I have two Y chromosomes and you have two X, we couldn't make children of our own. That's what Lana told me. LOIS: /hands Clark lead-lined box/ I've made you an appointment to speak to my Dad about the birds and bees. CLARK: What's with the box? LOIS: Just a gift for my father. Give it to him first. Because Loises tend to leave him?
Yes, but she doesn't know that.
LOIS: What do you mean 'Loises' as in plural?
ER: /points at Clark’s secret room, filled with drawings and photographs of various Loises he has stalked in his lifetime/ CLARK: There's only been the one, not counting THIS one. She could show up naked in his bedroom?
CLARK: That might not work, but she can give it a try if she wants.
LOIS: /shows up at his apartment in a harem costume/ I want you, Clark.
CLARK: Okay.
ER: He doesn’t really know how to stay his ground, huh? You didn't see Clark's reverse psychology trick at work, did you? Told Lois that her plan wouldn't work, only because he knew it would. Someone has to. So, will it be a Betazed-style wedding? PHIL: I'm more of a traditionalist. CAT: Also, I don't want to see my parents naked. It might scar me for life.

/Adds Beauty & The Beast and Arrow to my list of shows (i.e. Bones) to catch up on when the next season pops up on Netflix sometime next October. Sigh/ Yikes! I made the mistake of getting my hubby interested in Chuck, so I have to wait for him to be home to watch those episodes, which during this holiday season is like... never./ Ooooh! Chuck! /has gotten boxed set this year/ On the plus side, no commercials either.
PEOPLE AT MADMEN pass out. Michael

ER: Ooooh! Chuck! /has gotten boxed set this year/ Nice. I made my hubby watch it several nights in a row, he's gotten bored with it (since it doesn't seem to be going anywhere) and so it's mine again. MINE! All MINE! /precious/ No, I meant resistant to Kryptonians. LEX & LOIS's OFFSPRING: We're the only ones the NK's didn't want!  LOIS: What do you mean I’m now a concubine?  CLARK: CLARK: But I thought because I have two Y chromosomes and you have two X, we couldn't make children of our own. That's what Lana told me.
LOIS: /hands Clark lead-lined box/ I've made you an appointment to speak to my Dad about the birds and bees.
CLARK: What's with the box?
LOIS: Just a gift for my father. Give it to him first.
ER: She wants Daddy to cut something of Clark’s off? Nah, she just wants Clark to feel it when Sam punches him. So, she didn't walk in on her parents wrestling when she was a teenager? CAT: ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/c075.gif) No. Why do you ask?

I made my hubby watch it several nights in a row, he's gotten bored with it I actually watched Season 1-3 or so while I was on sickleave with a bad cough and stuff. I think I went through 5 episodes a day while tending to my respiratory system... I didn't get bored (since it doesn't seem to be going anywhere) Michael
