Some Excerpts
I just love challenging myself, and this seemed like the best way. I love taking old eps and giving them a new spin, or one specific event and turning it around. I especially love coming up with whole brand new ideas, stuff that's not been done. I love originality.
Well, I love the way they all work together to get something done. They all have the same ambition; to beat the bad guys, and to make a great newspaper!! They all work together like a finely tuned machine, unlike other shows like Law&Order where you have people working against each other, or ER, where everyone has their own problems to deal with. What I love about L&C of course, is that Clark Kent is basically as perfect as "humanly" possible. He's kind to everyone, thoughtful, generous, sincere, loyal, he's a good listener, and let's not forget that he's drop-dead, knock-your-socks-off, out-of-this-world GORGEOUS, and hopelessly in love with Lois Lane. Lois Lane is an archetype of womanly achievement; she's strong, independent, determined, resourceful, extremely intelligent, and highly successful in a very demanding business. She's also extremely beautiful and has Clark wrapped around her little finger!
"Come Back to Me" was nominated in '99 [for a Kerth Award], I think. Basically, Clark comes home from NK, eager to see Lois again, but is shocked to discover that she's become catatonic waiting for him to fulfill his promise to come back. The doctor can't help, but to suggest that he use his love for her to snap her out of it.
