Episode 2: For the Good of the Child

Anne (AMCiotola@aol.com), 6 December 1998:

You guys have done a great job with getting S6 off to a great start. The way the first two episodes have been written, you can almost see Dean, Teri and the rest of the cast play it out in your head. *g*

I can only look forward to what y'all have in store for us next....

Thanks Again!!

Just finished reading S6, Ep 2. Loved it - made me hate Lex Luthor even more. I began to dislike the guy during the clone storyline, but I now loathe him even more. Loved the interaction between chocolate also - giving private hot chocolate lessons. That idea of the way Clark settled Laura down was great too. Can hardly wait for Ep 3 - keep up the good work.

Absolutely wonderful...I'm speechless...

Misha (mhall@sound.net), 6 December 1998:

Okay- I think this is the point at which I throw myself on my knees, thanking the author of Episode 2 for rescuing me from the hellish cliffhanger at the end of Episode 1.

In all seriousness, I think that the authors of Season 6 are doing a wonderful job of pulling me into the series. I laugh, I cry, I scream in frustration when I see the three most evil words in the English language: 'To Be Continued'. Thank you, Barbara and Pam, for putting me in the thick of things. And thank you Chris, for rescuing Lois and Clark and Laura (and my sanity! ;)

I worried for 2 weeks about the baby being taken away from them, and come to find out it never left the house. You know how to keep us on the edge of our seats! I loved the pictures. I hope Teri OK'd the picture taken of her and Emmy, and I just love Judge Judy as the judge. Keep up the good work. We all love it.

This episode was so great! I loved it. It was so sweet, and had some comedy in it too. I have read all of the episodes in the fifth and now sixth season, and have never disliked any of them. The only thing I wish, is that they still played it on TV. All in all this was a wonderful episode.

Linda (CIMSCA@aol.com), 7 December 1998:

This episode was great. Chris Mulder is a premier fanfic writer. She has the characters of Lois and Clark down pat. Casting Judge Judy as Judge Rice was just hysterical!

Thank you all so much for doing a Season 6. Looking forward to the rest of the episodes.

Keep up the good work.

Pat (peabody@mcs.com), 7 December 1998:

Thank you so much, Pam, Barb, Chris, and everyone else involved with S6. I was especially impressed with the interesting twist that you put on Lex's plan to "adopt" Lois & Clark's daughter. Who would ever have thought that he'd try to do it legally? I'd expected to read a Lex-kidnaps-the-baby- and-Superman-rescues-her type of story, so episode 1's cliffhanger was a very clever surprise.

It's great to get an episode of L&C on Sunday evening once again, and even better to get such interesting, well-written episodes :)

I'm really looking forward to the rest of your season! I just know that you've got more surprises in store for us *bg*

I've always loved Chris Mulder's writing, and this story is no exception. What an explosive conclusion to the first episode! The suspense was terrific, the heightened emotions described with sensitivity and the characterisation so well done.

More, more, more, please! I can't wait to see what happens to Beth Luthor, and whether Lois and Clark manage to prove that Lex is, yet again, lying.

Melody Raymond (Raymond@aaos.org), 9 December 1998:

I am glad Season 6 has started. I just wanted to tell Pam and Chris I have enjoyed the first two episodes immensely. Surviving the 2 weeks between episodes was rough, but well worth it. The story was great and would make an excellent television show. I have to comment on Lex -- he makes me want to throw up!

Charlotte (Cdfisler@aol.com), 12 December 1998:

I concur with everyone on these two. They are completely wonderful. The A plot in ep 1 was not the most exciting but that was good because this episode was about love, and marriage and family and children. The A plot in ep 2 with Lex being behind both plots was great in that it brought everything together.

But there is one thing I haven't seen pointed out so here it is:

Thank you for putting Perry White on the stand to speak up for his star reporter. I always felt bad that he was the dupe used to blacken Lois' name in People vs. Lois Lane. It was nice to see him in a court scene again but this time actually testifying and telling it like it is. Congratulations - Perry you got your Revenge, revenge, revenge in the right way.

One of the great things about LnC fanfiction is that we can correct things we didn't like in the series. Way to go!!!

Maggie (maggie13@bellsouth.net), 19 January 1999:

I was happily reading For the Good of the Child in the airport a couple of weeks ago. Flight delayed at the gate. Plane delayed for take off. Did I care? Was I even remotely miffed? Mildly annoyed? No, no, and no. Why??? Because I was happily enthralled in the middle of a trial, thank you very much.
