serafina20My classroom is a vortex of suckiness. I don't mean that it sucks. I mean that there's some kind of black hole or worm hole in there that sucks up anything I put down so I can't find it again.
*sigh*
Sometimes I think it's good to stop writing in the middle of a scene. I got to the next part of COTW 47 yesterday when Jack and Bobby started. I went into the living room to multi-task while watching, so the scene could fester in my mind. All day (when I wasn't losing things), I've been turning it over in my mind,trying to figure out if I should do what my impuluse was. I've done it before, only with Lex instead of Clark, and don't want it to become a contrivance. And yet, there was this part of me screaming that the place I've got Clark at right now *needs* for this to happen, and it'll probably be better considering what's coming next.
So, when I start writing tonight, I actually have a pretty clear picture of what should happy. Yay. ;)
I continue to like the show. However, I was not pleased at the reveal that the President bailed Bobby out of the debate question. A. it was a dumb question, but B. It botheres me that they're turning Bobby into some kind of saint. What I liked about this episode was how normal he was. He gave into peer presure, he felt horribly guilty, he did what he could to make amends, and neither Jack nor Mommy nor the administration bent over backwards to make everythign better for the "special" kid. I get the feeling that the janitor gets harrassed a lot, which was why he didn't report it (nothing was being done because he was a nonentity), so watching Bobby take responsiblity for himself and use this deeply caring nature and empathy he poesses pleased me.
Until Paul Sorvino came to adult Bobby's recuse because he froze under pressure. That sort of harshed my buzz.

Only where in early S1, Clark was almost Superboyesque and then they had him "fall" into normalcy, and then keep falling, and keep falling . . ., with J&B, Bobby starts relentlessly normal. He doesn't feel duty bound to help everyone and do the right thing in this, the earliest season, but he'll learn and grow as a consequence of natural stuff, not, you know, contrivance and things.

You have a real feel for your characters and you haven't let us down yet. Besides the show tells us that the boy lives parallel each other sometimes, so having them go through the same experience is not off canon. JMHO.
