Do you like Lois new role?

[Polomontana]

I think the writers never got Lois right and there still missing the mark.

Her role at first was the Smallville stripper and now she's the annoying reporter. They never gave her any real depth like Chloe.

[Spyderwalk]

I actually agree with that.

[jimmyolsenblues]

I love lois' new role training clark, but i want to see lois kind of spurn his advances, play hard to get.

[thehenry89]

I love everything about Lois, and she's the main reason i kept watching last year, and the year before that.

[Smallville6]

I love her new role! :D

[abbaspice1]

I think the writers never got Lois right and there still missing the mark.

Her role at first was the Smallville stripper and now she's the annoying reporter. They never gave her any real depth like Chloe.

Let me get this right: Her FIRST role was a stripper?

You mean her being undercover AFTER CHLOE volunteer her?

And did you forget she helped Ms. Kent to become Senator? Or how she got on Lex's nerves as a reporter?

And depth? She is s deep character. Maybe not the character you want. But her character have had tons of twists and turns.

[amberdawn]

Yes I do. :D

[minerva73]

I think that she's still doing the same thing she did in Season 7 except Clark is by her side.

She's snooping around places where she shouldn't be trying to get information about things that she's searching for. She did the same thing in Action, so I don't see much of a difference.

So I can't really vote...

[doodie8808]

she is awesome i love her character my favorite

[Minela]

My favorite thing the entire episode tonight was when Lois pulled out all her breaking and entering paraphernalia. She rocks! The only thing I'm kinda iffy about is that she is too nice to Clark. But I guess it would be weird if she was a total ***** to him considering their history.

Anyway, Lois rocks. I wish they would give her more to do. But I guess this episode was chock full of stuff.

[rebecavaldez]

i love smallville's lois...

[ClarkyBoy14]

The SV Lois is great! :D

[Darth Pipes]

I have a hard time buying this Lois Lane as so gung ho about journalism. I mean, she got her job because she slept her way to the top. So she can't really complain about Clark stealing her thunder.

Given that Mercer knows who Clark is and wants to watch him, that might just be the reason Clark got his job at the DP.

[skylar]

Lois didn't sleep with Grant to get job. I LOVE the new Lois!!

[Alexander III]

She's getting more screentime, that's the best part of her new role! Sweeet! :lol:

[LightSeeker]

Lois' new role as Clark's mentor, or whatever you want to call it, is great. Even though she does push some of his buttons, it gets the banter going. And I LOVE the banter. We all know he secretly loves it too.;):D

[oberyn]

I love lois' new role training clark, but i want to see lois kind of spurn his advances, play hard to get.

I completely agree with you. I really hope we don't see Lois pining after Clark.

[origin]

I have always loved Smallville's Lois. I really like what they are doing this year with her Character.

[AndiGirl]

I love the new Lois!! I think she is very sweet....but I have to admitt, I miss the sass a bit. She has it now and then...but she seems so much more tame then she used to be. But that could be because she likes clark now.... ;)

[ForzaItalia]

Absolutely I like her! They’ve taken a very different (from the comic book) Lois that was introduced on the show a few years ago, and shown her become the classic Lois we all know! And she’s a fun character, played by a great actress, and her chemistry with Tom Welling is getting better.

[xrayvision]

I didn't like the training thing too much because Lois herself doesn't have any great deal of experience. I would like to see Perry White training the both of them.

[Clark-Kalel]

I think that she is doing the best she can with her character. I really enjoyed the interaction between her and Clark. She is starting to act more and more like the Lois that we all know. I thought it was hilarious that she was trying to give Clark advice. This episode was a lot of fun to watch.

I love her character.
You can never get tired of her.. (Atleast I can't.)

[Polomontana]

Good Point, they need someone training both of them. Lois training Clark just seems silly.

Lois is not known for being the responsible one and training Clark puts her in a box.

[geminis]

Lois isn't training Clark in my opinion, she's just being typical bossy Lois giving Clark her unsolicited advice and Clark listens to her politely but isn't about to be her patsy. Plus, Clark hasn't yet made any moves on Lois that I saw. If he had, that would have brought out the Lois sass.

[smallvillefreak24]

I like her as it but I don't know if I completley buy it she acts like she has worked at the daily planet for 10 years and not 1

and clark and lois didn't do that much for their positions at the DP when chloe had to get in the old fashion way...

[Polomontana]

I sense that Clark's a bit off balance, though. Let's see how he settles in...

[~*Lois & Clark Fan*~]

Her role at first was the Smallville stripper and now she's the annoying reporter. They never gave her any real depth like Chloe.

I must be watching a different show, I remember her going undercover as a stripper cause Chloe didn't want to go undercover and actually have to some REAL work.

Chloe has depth? :lol:

[Darth Pipes]

I figured Chloe would eventually move away from journalism because Lois is the one who become a journalist. Although I haven't found her journey to the DP very convincing. She got the job because Grant the clone wanted to **** her. She never showed any interest in the work itself, just being successful at it. I just can't buy this Lois as a journalist and Chloe not interested in it.

[geminis]

Oh please, Grant read her article before he even saw what she looked like. And she has shown interest in the work; she has found she likes investigating and talking to people; she has a kit for breaking into places for crying out loud. I can also certainly understand wanting to be successful at a job; doing something for nothing won't pay bills.
Chloe, well, I can understand her being so focused on one thing (reporting) and wanting to try something different as well (helping people who have suffered the same fate as her or worse).

[vyperman7]

Lois was bugging me a bit. I like the Clois scenes and the fact they are working together. However, I don't like the fact that she is coming off like a miss know it all when she doesn't even have that much experience herself. She hasn't worked long enough yet. The writers are trying to make Lois seem like a veteran when she is still green, and they overlook the fact that Clark did nothing to earn his position.

[Ginx]

I think they started out wrong because they were in deep with Chloe already and maybe didn't think the fans would cling to her (but how could we not). I think they are now trying to get Lois on the right track and I applaud them for that. She's not there yet but she's on her way.

[LuckyLois]

This is a tv show, in the Superman movies you never see Clark go to college either. Let it go. Also, Lois is his self-appointed mentor, per the interview with ED.

[individuall]

I love Lois Lane..all Bossy, rude, sarcastic, ambitious, cut throat, undercover, vulnerable, flirty, witty, and kicka** parts of her!... :D

[vyperman7]

This is a tv show, in the Superman movies you never see Clark go to college either. Let it go. Also, Lois is his self-appointed mentor, per the interview with ED.

Do I think that Clark should have gone to college? Yes. However, since this version of Clark is a college drop out, that isn't going to happen. They should have had Clark freelancing with other papers to get some writing creds/experience the last few years to make it more believeable that the DP would hire him as a reporter. No luck there either. What bugs me the most is the fact that he didn't EARN his position. It sucks that Clark just waltzed right into the job. Clark says that he wanted to work at the DP to be close to the action so he could save people. He could still do that without being a reporter. In fact, being in a lower level position would have made it easier.

A perfect sollution to this would be starting Clark out in the mailroom. He could have spent the first half of the season developing a taste for journalism and wanting to branch out. Then he could also be working on his dual identity while he is saving people. The idea of Clark secretly hiding out in the mailroom, while he is out saving people seems more like Clark in disguise and being more humble which is what the glasses help to do. Then as more and more incidents occur with the mysterious hero, Clark could use his "inside info" to write an article that would impress Tess and get him the job. Then we could see him partnered up with Lois.

He still wouldn't have a degree or experience, but at least if he started out in the mailroom and then wrote an article, the writers could say he earned the position, instead of it just being given to him.

[SteveS]

I think the writers never got Lois right and there still missing the mark.

Her role at first was the Smallville stripper and now she's the annoying reporter. They never gave her any real depth like Chloe.

Basically, I agree, but she isn't being portrayed as the obnoxious jerkette that she has been for years, the effort by TPTB to buy our acceptance of her with Clarkman. And to be fair, and as many would note, I have never, ever been a fan of this version of lois, thus far I am not detesting her as I have in previous years. So, if she keeps on as she is and has been recently, she is still second-rate compared to Chloe but an improvement on what she has been before.

And ClarkMan should refer to her as 'Lane' each and every time that she calls him "Smallville.'

[dimeo782002]

My problem is she is so bossy with clark and it's getting old already ! i like her but i8m so sorry imj trying to except it but.... it's just not the lois i would expect and it's not ed's fault everything has just been thrown together these last two seasons and all the clana drama took up to much time imo , it all fels rushed i don't even feel that they belong at the dp. i don't want to be negative im sad to be honest this was supposed to be " wopw were finally getting clark at the dp and lois will be there but i have a sour lemon in the pit of my stomach ! im trying really hard to give it a chance . imk still trying it ... it just does not seem real yet .:(

oh btw couldn't they have showed or stated that somewhere perry white put in a good word for clark at the planet ? that would have made it a little more believeable to me that he is finally there.

Steve! Wow I never thought I'd ever see you say that ;)

Anyhow, I love Lois, she's got that iconic "I'm better at this than you Clark" attitude she's famous for. She's definitely matured a lot.

[amberdawn]

is this really necessary ??? i would stoop to the same level but im not going too . i will just brush it off .

Lois didn't sleep with Grant to get job. I LOVE the new Lois!!


this is true in the one episode he shows miss lane the article he kept from the inquisitor and he said her v=being attractive was just an extra or something to that nature . grant read her work before she came to daily planet tptb showed us that part.

[Polomontana]

Lois seems to be replacing Jonathan and Martha but it will not be good because Matha and Jonathan knew about Clarks powers.

Lois will just nag him at the office while him and Chloe solve problems. This can't be what Lois has become!!

[WickedJenn]

Lois Lane has nagged Clark Kent for 70 years. And it was mostly Clark and Lois who worked together on this episode, setting up their iconic investigative partnership :)

I agree. It was fun. I enjoyed it greatly. "Brawny Lumberjack" *giggle*

[WeaponX295]

I think that the new direction they're going with Clois is great. Since Clark was always supposed to end up with Lois I think they should have started this a long time ago.

I've always seen the Clana relationship as being one that was supposed to be a chapter in the live of Clark Kent and it ended up becoming It's own Novel. Now that Lana is gone they can stop the constant on and off Clana thing and move onto what is really supposed to be.

I really like what they were doing in this episode to further the Clois relationship. In the past I thought that it seemed that they too of them lacked chemistry however over the last few seasons there has been quite a bit of growth in that regard.

I especially liked the scene after Clark changed(In the Phone Booth, nice) where he came out and Lois was pleasantly surprised by his look. I also like that they are representing Lois' view of Clark. She sees him as a naive farm boy, which helps explain why she could never see Clark and Superman as being the same person.

[kraami]

i had to work and had to tape the episode and watched it twice but i kept pressing the FF to get past her. Lois in this episode sucked plain and simple. Way too annoying!!!!!! I say tone her down a bit at the end of the episode she seemed to change but we will see.

[stenochick]

I think she is great. She is supposed to ingratiating and annoying. I love the chemistry between Clark and Lois. They are perfect for each other.

A less secure and patient man would have a. murdered Lois or b. committed suicide by now. The funny thing is that the future Mrs. Kent is nothing at all like Martha Kent. They say that men are attracted to women that remind them of their mothers. But Martha really loved Lois as a daughter when she was her chief of staff (check out all the deleted scenes from season 6). I think Lois would have Martha's seal of approval.

Well, the writers have had a bit of a mess to clean up from Al/Miles, IMO. I hated the Grois storyline and from what I could tell, Erica wasn't fond of it either.

But I definitely wouldn't call Lois a "loser" or an "idiot" at all. Yes, she admitted she made a mistake concerning Grant in "Siren", she was hoping he'd help her get over Ollie but he didn't. Isn't a person allowed to make a mistake and learn from it? Why does that make her the bad person? NONE of these characters on here are perfect.

Chloe outfits? You're supposed to wear professional work clothes in an office like that, so I don't see how that's a "Chloe outfit".

And even though that pic you have is of her in jeans and a tank, after that she was dressing professional as is evidenced by many a screen cap from season 7. So I don't think it correct to say "last season".

Lois "dressing Clark"...she's only helping him there, not hurting him. All her behavior is iconic Lois Lane in regards to him anyhow.

[Super Maverick]

yes

[Forever Lex]

IMPO Lois is getting better, but she has a long way to go before I can see her as "Lois Lane" to Clark Kent's Superman. Ya dig?

[svtwamedfan05]

I love everything about Lois and now that she's taking Clark under her wing its so iconic. Love it. Actually I think she has more depth then you think.

[geminis]

As a reporter, in the office generally people do dress professionally, however, when you're investigating/snooping, it's also a good idea to wear what's current on the street, wear what the natives wear so to speak so as not to call attention to yourself. Having visited my cousin briefly at her office as a journalist/foreign correspondent for the Chicago Tribune, I saw all sorts of people in a variety of dressed up and dressed down apparel. Which is why I didn't mind and got a laugh out of Lois stealing the other guy's wardrobe for Clark. He protested the "personal space breech" (a la Lois and Bizarro), but didn't seem to mind too much despite the fact that she's taking his clothes!

Clark and Lois both haven't had a whole lot of money to spend on clothes but I also see it as they'll be constantly improving and updating the wardrobe when financially able to do so. I know that's what I did starting out in my career.

[miks]

Since season 4 we've seen Lois be bossy, stupid, immature, etc. etc. Okay, we can blame it on Al/Miles, but they are gone, they have an ENTIRE season to make Lois look better, instead they decide let's just lightswitch her into her "iconic" self. Lois couldn't get published when she was banging the editor, now, from what I heard since I didn't watch it, she goes to steal a medical record that either doesn't have anything in it or she can't figure out why it's important, tape records Clark explaining the truth behind the matter, writes the story even though it was Clark's story to write and doesn't give him any credit? Am I right? Is this what happened? Well, at least she makes Clark look smart.

[chlarker4eva08]

its 2 early in the season to tell imo... but at least they're not makin her look like a slut anymore- i'd say that's PROGRESS

[baltazor]

It is too early. But i like the bossy Lois (at least towards Clark). It felt like she saw the bigger picture with him being around.

[harryandginnyfanatic]

I agree. If Lois or Clark had been out in the field, they would be dressed in normal clothes at the planet.

[cklookalike89]

I personally love the new lois and cant wait to see even more of her and clark this season!!

[eas]

I love lois' new role training clark, but i want to see lois kind of spurn his advances, play hard to get.

Yup, that's pretty much how I feel.

I like the way they're approaching her journalism, but I'm not sure I'm happy with her being so eager to show Clark the ropes, etc. I am a bit worried that they'll have Lois fall very hard w/o showing anything from Clark's side.

But, over all, I'm happy with Lois this season. I think she's finally getting some focused attention and that makes me happy.

----- Added 46 Seconds later -----


I love the new Lois!! I think she is very sweet....but I have to admitt, I miss the sass a bit. She has it now and then...but she seems so much more tame then she used to be. But that could be because she likes clark now.... ;)

I know... some of the sass is gone, isn't it? She's being very nice to Clark... I don't know how I feel about it. :\

[msleggie]

I was thinking the same thing, she was being really nice to Clark and I actually miss the sass

[individuall]

I thought so too! But then I kept hearing everyone say how she was being too mean to him...And I was like, really? Cuz to me she's being extremely nice and helpful...In her own Loisy way or course ;)

I do miss the sass I hope they bring it back a little bit..
Love her anyway! :)

You cannot blame her for being that way if you think she is. I mean, in my opinion nobody on the show, meaning the writers or the producers really gave her any time to develop. I mean, she was only in 13 episodes for the past three seasons, and when she was in them. They did not give her a real big part or make her part significant to the storyline. Until now, so in my opinion you cannot really hold the stuff you said, against her because she has had no significant part in the storyline and we have not really gotten to know her.
Just my opinion

[msjade16]

Uummm, sorry, but........ NO!

Lightswitch and Ret-con galore is all I'm gonna say about that. And she's not the only one they screwed up with on that point in this episode.:\

[Tatiana]

Yeah I like her, she is trying to hide her feeling for Clark by being bossy, some people especially some women do that. Get on the deffense mode, but whenever she wants to show approval to Clark, she gets all nervous and I love the looks she gives to him, she is also looking very sexy. I am a woman but I can recognize when another woman looks good and Lois looks very good.

[Nerial]

My favorite Lois is Teri Hatcher--her spastic competitiveness and domination over Clark had me watching even the dumbest episodes of that show. She was so mean to him at times! Hilarious!

But, Smallville's version is definitely good, and Durance's version of Lois holds to most of the things I like about that character. The chemistry between her and Clark has always been strong, even when they drive each other crazy. I complain about certain issues on SV, but Lois and Clark's connection is definitely not one of those things.

[DontCha]

I think the writers never got Lois right and there still missing the mark.

Her role at first was the Smallville stripper and now she's the annoying reporter. They never gave her any real depth like Chloe.

no depth? thats because iconic Lois is famously hard on the outside and doesnt like people to see her emotions

but we're seeing it slip out at times..so your point is?

secondly the fact you've called her entire character in the early seasons a "stripper" tells me exactly what you really think...you dont really care about how her character is developing..you're just bitter that its not Chloe in the DP with clark. And you hate Lois because she is.

[dunkman]

When she started in season 4 with light-colored hair, I was dubious. For one thing, Lana looked more like Lois is supposed to look instead of a redhead (but for some reason I had no problem with Lana in her earlier seasons...), & for another thing it seemed too early for Clark to meet Lois. But when I watched the Superman movie with Margot Kidder as Lois Lane after I had seen Smallville's Lois, I thought Erica Durance got it pretty close!
I thought Lois in "Plastique" came as close as ever to the Lois we expect. The way she talks to Clark like she's an expert & he's an idiot, when he wrote for the "Torch" long before she got her start at the "Inquisitor", plus the way he's a good sport about it, is the Lois/Clark interaction we expect.

[ColdPlay3r]

good 2 watch, makes eppi's enjoyable

[kal-el_Girl]

this is what it pisses me off....
Now Lois knows the journalistic ropes so much that she's giving advice to Clark, POINT BY POINT? come on?!?!?!?!? she wasn't even interested in journalism if it wasn't for chloe... which btw how's she paying the bills? and with this economy jeeeeezz....

[legofreak]

i think i should wait and see... in this season i somehow think that Lois is a bit overreacting of her seniority working in daily planet. let's hope that's just the beginning..

[Minela]

this is what it pisses me off....

I think you missed the point. Lois isn't so good at journalism that she can give Clark advise, point by point. She just thinks she is. Classic Lois. She always thought she was miles ahead of Clark and always treated him like the village idiot. This Lois is no exception. She may be at the bottom of the journalistic totompole, but in her head she is so far above Clark that he needs all the help she can give him (if she's not too busy).

[DestinyAw8s]

Lois is Dyn-o-MITE! Just LOVE her! Clark is lucky to have a good friend at his new job. I've had quite a few jobs in my lifetime and several where I would have been delighted to have had someone on the inside to show me the ropes and help me maneuver through the landmines of office politics. As it was, I pretty much had to learn on my own, much like Lois had to. And it didn't take me no damned 10 years to do it, either. Lois should be, at the very least, showing more confidence and assurance in her career choice by now. It's been over 2 years since she started to really get into active journalism. I can't imagine any boss keeping an employee around with the lack of advancement some of you think she should be affecting. Lois Lane is a self-starter. Someone who actually goes out and gets the job done. A requirement that most job postings specify but rarely ever get in a candidate. I think she's right on target with her portrayal. She's getting headlines and making more money. She should be dressing to impress. I certainly do. As for her being bossy, well, that's just Lois Lane. I would expect nothing less from her. And I am glad they haven't disappointed me. But she is certainly giving Clark a break on the sass front. I don't like it much, but I have a feeling that it's only temporary. Sooner than later, I think we will see her back in full mettle, going head to head with Clark on various issues, as per canon. Anyway, I LOVE her. And I'm loving Clark's snark. "It's not my fault if you can't keep up." HA! He's the MAN...for now.:p

[Tacitus]

Having 2 years of professional experience under the belt counts for something in the real world. Lois had to learn everything on her own without any help. The learning curve was a process of trial and error, she tried many things with different approaches and finally learned the right way to go about in this business. I'm not saying she is professional, but 2 years of work experience is enough for anyone to overcome the steepness of the learning curve.

Clark is in the same spot where Lois was 2 years ago. She's just showing him the ropes. In a bossy way, but hey, that's Lois for you :D

I think its sooooo cute how she like thinks about everything she says to him befreo she says it like she doesn't want to give anything away or something. that was super cute. I love that shes like in the episodes more. like some of her episodes last year were like one scene long.

I love lois. i love her in smallville. shes a great character.

exactly!!!
that's my point... why is she giving advice to CK if she crossed the professional line from day one!!!
dear writers:
WE REMEMBER LAST SEASON :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Perhaps that's why she's the best person to give advice: Because she made mistakes and learned from them. Maybe she's being sincere to Clark and trying to stop him from making some of the same mistakes.

Say, for example, I'm filing a bunch of papers and manage to get 50 paper-cuts. If my co-worker starts filing those same papers, should I give them advice and say, "watch out for the paper cuts"? Or do I stand by and go, "Well, he'll figure out"... would a person who never even touched the files be the most qualified to give my co-worker advice, or me?

To say that a person who makes mistakes is not allowed to give advice seems rather odd to me. (And I would say that Lois having a relationship with Grant was a mistake on her part.) Chloe made a mistake when she betrayed Clark to Lionel. If she gave someone advice like, "Don't betray your best friend, because you'll feel bad about it & regret it" then does that make her WRONG? Does that mean that they're re-writing her character and that she's a terrible person who has to pay the price for that mistake for the rest of her life?

And, regarding the dress code, are you kidding me? There's a whole term used to describe a certain region of Chloe's chest: Chloevage. She's worn things to the DP that are BY FAR more revealing than the tank top that Lois is wearing up there. And this is even though Chloe doesn't actually go out into the field & get her hands dirty. Lois's MO is go out and go to places like Suicide Slum to get the story and break into places, etc. If she wore tank top and jeans to go get that scoop & went straight to the DP after that, it doesn't make her un-proffesional. Not mention that this wasn't even how she dressed all time at the DP... there were many instances where she wore a suit or other business clothes.

Also, it's not like Clark was showing up at the DP in a red t-shirt and jeans & she corrected him because of that. He showed up wearing plaid, with a back-pack slung over his shoulder. It was ridiculous on his part to show up to his first day of work dressed like that. She even says that he should be careful because folks will make fun of him if he doesn't mingle in better... they'll call him "Farmboy" or "Plaidman"... she's concerned that he'll stand out & get off to a rough start at the DP. And it's a valid concern because it did look weird there.

And regarding Lois dressing more like Chloe... I don't think so. Chloe doesn't really dress in the sort of clothes that Lois dresses in... her clothes are a lot more stylish & she always has matching jewelry & nice hair, etc. Lois's style is much more basic and generic. I, in fact, own clothes very similar to Lois's, because it's just "generic business casual". Anyone who shops at Ann Taylor, The Limited, or Bananna Republic can pull together Lois's basic look in 5 minutes. Chloe's look, on the other hand, can not be mimiced as easily, because Chloe is a bit of a clothes-horse & clearly cares about fashion.

Hear Hear! Great post eas.

I just wanted to chime in real quick and say that in a professional workplace women can get away with a lot more than men. Some women clothes can be more easily turned from casual to business and vice versa than men's.

I don't. I think it's called repressed memory. Seasons 5, 6 and 7 were traumatizing. :p

and its only been 4 weeks in smallville time scale

just go with it dont even think about past lois and you might enjoy the show

[Hopefulsuicide]

i know i've missed 5 pages, but i'm still gonna say

i think they got Lois pretty much right, what they got wrong was Lois and Clark...

[Superman86]

Lios is by far the sweetest thing about this season so far. She is on her way to the top of the daily planet and Erica Durance acting has improved a ton.

[Meteror Freak]

I think ED is doing the best she can with her character. In season 4, I HATED lois because she was the opposite of what I always envisioned Lois to be. But she has grown on me just like she has grown on Clark and her character is MUCH better now. I really love her personality now and I'm ready to see her and Clark be together!

[LoveHurts38]

I love everything about Lois, and she's the main reason i kept watching last year, and the year before that.


Same here to me S4 will always be for me S1:D

[LovelyLoisLane]

I loved Lois before but there were things that irritated me. This season? Not irritated . . . yet and still loving her lots. Go Lois, it's your birthday, get happy! Does anyone want me to finish the song? No? No one? *sigh* Ah, I know. I have a sexy voice, goddess voice even, but for singing? Not so much. :p

[Minela]

Finish the song! :D

[kryptonaidxh]

:DI´m one of the millions of people that love Lois since she came to Smallville, I love her character, she maskes this show more enjoyable, she´s smart, funny, brave, determined and definetely the best female character of this show.:D

[dru-zod2501]

It's great, only in the fact that it's where the character was always meant to be in the first place. Compared to Clark's journey to the exact same place it was perfect

[zorasuperman]

its perfecto :)

[e-µ-i]

Yep I really like it, the S4,5 Lois was too bossy and annoying :P
This one is a little more...normal.

[Kschreck]

As season eight progressed, one of the things they did do right this year was Lois and her career. I only wish we could see even more of Lois and Clark and the Daily Planet goodness!

[rebecavaldez]

I love the role they gave her this season. Especially the first half

[Dyanara]

S8 Lois was ok, she was definitely better than S10. I don't think this show has gotten Lois right. She was at her best in S9 but in S10 they have really done a number on her. Lois has always seemed like a constant outsider and the writers are shallow with their writing of her. They try to give her depth but that attempt in itself is shallow. Its like Erica is playing an attitude as opposed to a person.
