I don't actually watch Smallville, but was mucking around online while Jim was the other night, and glanced up at one point and said, "It's Bobby Drake" beat "No, wait, not quite." I then forgot to look the kid up, so thanks for confirming his identity! ^_^
If Babs is ever introduced, I will have to watch it posthaste (it's on my Netflix list, but there's so much there).

I once STET-ed so much of a copy-editor's work, my regular editor offered not to have the next book copy-edited at all, to save us all time and grief and money. I didn't take him up on it, because copy editors do have a legitimate role in the process - but oh, I do sympathise.
(The good news is that there are also angels out there - if this is an American publisher, I can give you names...)
