Plausibility. We don't need no stinkin' plausibility!

Apparently work leads me to pastures of appalling crack, because we were driving around this morning and I happened to think idly (god. knows. WHY) "gosh, you know what? if Superman had arrived on earth in the late nineties then he wouldn't have crash-landed on the flaming meteorite thingy in a field in Kansas or wherever it was, he would of course

I love the baby of steel raised by Fraser. God, it will have no sense of personal safety and... It's a great idea, even before we get to Ma trying to feed the brat... *first insane grin of day*

it will have no sense of personal safety

Are we sure Fraser wasn't a baby of steel himself? The 'born in a barn' story would be a very good cover for actually being from space.

[shihadchick]

I may have considered something similar earlier actually, too. Very very good point, really.

And there ARE all the jokes about him "not being from this planet" &c.

[buzzylittleb]

Now, that is a good one. A really good one.

And in such an isolated place? No interfering doctors etc...

[shihadchick]

*eggs you both on*

I mean, Fraser has canonically leapt FROM tall buildings in a single bound...

[the_antichris]

And the episode where he jumps off the building with a tarpaulin for a parachute! Clearly that was just a cover for actually being able to fly. (See also: not being dead after jumping out of the plane in CotW.)

Also: not being dead after jumping off that building with RayK. Mythbusters have proven it is a good way to break every bone in your body. Perhaps Fraser has a discrete forcefield? Or perhaps they were really holding hands? Or perhaps (spot the comic book geek) he has a physics distortion field (like Ambrose Chase and way too many X-men)... or perhaps RayK has nascent superpowers he just hasn't noticed yet (like a luck field like way too many x-men) but Fraser has noticed and wants to make alien babies with him.

[the_antichris]

I think it has to be a physics distortion field, going by the way physics is comprehensively pwned in almost every episode. He's so pretty that he has the same effect on physics as on Thatcher!

[shihadchick]

I just. Yes. Exactly. He would be equal parts the most perfect person and the most woefully underequipped person in CREATION to deal with SuperBaby.

(and auuuuuuuugh in my head that just smashed into that My Hero show with whatsit from Father Ted and now I am imagining those two babies basically taking over the world and ohh so very amused.) Yay insane grin!

Also, I am poking at your five things suggestion (in case you thought I'd missed it/forgotten) but am moving pretty slowly writing-wise this week. /psa

[buzzylittleb]

(please do not mention My Hero in my presence, the family watch it and I hide)

And yes, Fraser is so wonderfully underequiped it will be... *snorts*

[shihadchick]

(understood. /Fraser)
