Oct. 28th, 2004 06:37 amI've thought of a way to keep the Morgan/Clark relationship in COTW from being too much like it is in the LLAR universe. I"ve been struggling with how to do it at all. I'm still not sure what to do with Lex. On the one hand, i like the idea of Lionel using Helen to imprision Lex early to try to figure out why he's gotten to healthy; on the other, I like the idea of Helen asking Lex for help in getting away from Lionel, and then their plane crashing as they make their escape. I dion't know if I like the idea of Helen trying to kill him in this universe. It just doesn't make even half the sense that it did on the show, and that's not saying much. They aren't enemies, they aren't lovers, they aren't in love. They're business partners and semi-friends.
Of course, if Lex finds out that Helen's working for his father and tries to ruin her...
But that's not the point. The point is, I wanted to do some kind of affair between Clark and Morgan. It would end a lot differently, of course, since somewhere along the way, Lionel would mention how healthy Lex has gotten and why it's so vital that they study Clark (For Morgan, of course; Clark might contain the cure for AIDs and isn't that more important than playing with a pretty boy? Plus, you know, the whole liver thing, so Lionel's playing off both MOrgan's fears for himself and his concerns for Lionel). But I still want some kind of relationship that can't be explained by just lust between them.
Then, last night, I thought, well, Clark thinks Lex is dead, he's vulnerable, he can't wear that ring for longer than a few days before he overheats, so there will be periods when he's "normal", so...
Why not set him up with someone who will help him through his grief? And he can have a duel affair with someone who's nice and genuinely cares about his well-being *and* a man who will indulge and encourage him to give into his hedonistic side (stealing and crime, not just sex; I think i'll try not to get into too much sex since so many people haev a problem with the relationship).
So I think, *think* that's what I'm goign to do. And I know who the person Clark'll get with will be. And I'm happy. :)
Did I mention I loved last night's episdoe?
