Nicely written. I recognized Jack immediately, even though he didn't proposition Martha, or Jonathan, for that matter. Must have decided to behave himself in that time period.

Very nicely written. Let me know where the rest is posted and I will read it as well.

James

I might change the final version to have him think about it, but realise who they are before it's too late.

Alternatively he could just proposition both of them and get thrown out of the truck, but there's a risk they'd be so angry that they'll miss the capsule arriving...

Marcus,

Very nicely done!

I can just see Jack, AKA John Barrowman, doing the good deeds.

A lovely touch to the arrival of the baby Kal-el arriving on earth.

While the show was constrained to use the same actors, it is hard to de-age someone that much and make it look good. It's too bad that they couldn't get the same actor that played young Jonathan in Strange Visitor to play him in Tempus Fugitive.

I could see Jack looking at that Jonathan easier.

Honestly, I have never seen a fat farmer before watching Lois and Clark. I was raised in farm country, and any farmer with his salt was not lazy enough to be fat. The only moderatly heavy farmer I knew had 'retired' and only plowed enough to feed him and his wife.

My Grandfather, who died when he was in his 80s, was as skinny as a bean pole, as the saying goes. All my uncles are thin and their farming sons are like them.

James, who always had a hard time believing that Jonathan was a farmer. Elisabeth theory is that he had farm hands to help him with the farming after he had injured his back.

Stearted to post it here - just the first chapter so far, which is set in the 19th century and a cross with some westerns and a horror story.

I haven't watched Doctor Who in years and years but this was a nice vignette even without reading the rest of it. Nicely done.

I only know Capt. Jack from Torchwood. We're in the second season here. I didn't know the rogue part until James Marsters (Spike of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) showed up as a past cohort of Jack's. So far Torchwood has played up the sex and immortality part of Jack's personality.

I finally got around to posting the final version at various sites - because a lot of people aren't familiar with L&C I eventually decided to make the date indeterminate, so that it could be any incarnation of Superman, from the Golden Age right up to Smallville, and made some small changes to fix a couple of problems that arose out of events in S2 Torchwood.

Unfortunately I posted the Jack-meets-Spike story (chapter 2) before they confirmed that the Spike look-alike character was definite for Torchwood. I decided not to change it in the end.

I've included a link to the L&C archive, hopefully it'll attract a new reader or two.
