Lois picspam #1
So I decided it was ridiculous that I'd never made a Lois picspam post. After all, I adore her, and she's purty, and I don't really need any excuse to natter away about how great she is. So I went off to collect some pics... that was two weeks' ago. *headdesk* Now I have 200 caps and don't know where to start. *lol

Ooh! Yay! ::grabs popcorn, settles in::
1. She's a good samaritan.
Yes. It's one of the things that I genuinely like about many of the SV characters, the way they all help people. So it's nice that Lois fits in with the SV crowd in this way, while being so much of an odd duck in others.
2. She's fearless.
I love that scene with Lionel, and I love the way it paid off in S6, when Lionel was the only one who noticed her activities in "Noir," and the only one who took her seriously as a potential threat. She's made herself known to him, in a way that she hasn't to many of the others, and I love that. Lois certainly knows how to pick her enemies!
4. She's secretly ambitious.I'm with you on the self-sabotage thing. I once had a college professor explain this to me - it's an extremely common reason for procrastination. If you don't put your whole heart into it, you have a built-in excuse for not scoring the A, or being the best in class. "Oh, that B could have been an A, but I wrote it in an all-nighter, the ( ... )

*nods* SV payoffs are slow but they're cool when they come! And that was a great follow up. Lex may not 'rate' Lois, but Lionel sure knows she's an adversary to watch.

"Oh, that B could have been an A, but I wrote it in an all-nighter, the day before it was due..." She pointed out to me that it'smuch more common among people who can write a B-worthy college-level paper the night before it's due - which goes a long way toward convincing me of Lois's natural talent. Yes! That's exactly the phenomenom I'm thinking of. A lot of people think perfectionists are always the kids that score well in school. It's not true. There are a lot of bright kids out there self-sabotaging. It's especially true of those who ( ... )

Lois is so great for all the reasons you mentioned and a million more. Serioulsy, Erica's performance goes so unnoticed, and her character needs some love. YAY to you for giving her some.

What a lovely entry to see on my flist. ♥
Love your point about Lois as a perfectionist. Never thought of it that way, it does make sense.
5, 7 and 8 FTW!
Clark has his fair share of phallic symbols (many of them provided by Lex). Lois likes to play with them. 'Nuff said.
*smirk*
You sure know how to make my day better. >:)
This pic spam was fun, fun, fun!

I agree with your assesment of Lois as a perfectionist. In my opinion, there are two true perfectionists on SV: Lois and Lex and that's totally in line with these characters in every incarnation.

I agree, and it makes interactions between them very interesting, though the show hasn't given us much of that. Superficially they are polar opposites, but they share some key characteristics underneath. I always found Lucy an interesting ep since they paralleled Lois and Lucy with Lex's absent sibling/surrogate brother in Clark.
