Now that...Ron and Lucy may still have been married? Now that's interesting, I assumed that the Steve Trevoring (ageing up) of Ron was a visual cue that he and Lucy never got together. Plus, this Lucy is very different from the one we've had post-Crisis.<br /><br />Given her advanced army rank, it might make sense for Lucy to now be the older of the Lane sisters.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-24293529174241461812010-02-22T20:53:58.930-05:002010-02-22T20:53:58.930-05:00I also whole heartedly 2nd passing on just how tru...<i>I also whole heartedly 2nd passing on just how truly loved Helen is world over by us Supergirl fans and would be sincerely honored if she were able to take time out of hectic schedule in order to kindly willing to interact with us even. </i><br /><br />I agree with everyone in saying how happy I am that Helen Slater seems interested in the character. <br /><br />Hopefully she can feel the love!Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-37657069210109725192010-02-22T20:52:51.865-05:002010-02-22T20:52:51.865-05:00I discuss how Helen and I worked together a bit on...<i>I discuss how Helen and I worked together a bit on jakeblack.com<br /><br />And as far as the Ron/Lucy marriage--no one said it was retconned away (in fact, we specifically discussed it before including Ron in the story).

Thanks, Jake and Helen, for putting together this story and sharing it with us. Thanks for the easter eggs. Thanks for stopping by this very blog to talk about the easter eggs and some of the behind the scenes work. I wish Helen could come on here and comment. Jake, if you are still in touch with her, it would be great if you could convey to her how much the fans appreciated this story and still embrace her as the original onscreen Supergirl. And now I'm intrigued about the Ron/Lucy marriage!!Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681297866387365297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-42723715344927402632010-02-21T18:11:56.206-05:002010-02-21T18:11:56.206-05:00Hey Anj,

On second examination, it is a genuine story developement in an odd setting, likely due to editorial/larger story requirements; one of the drawbacks of the shared universe.<br /><br />That said, this ending story was exactly the palette cleanser required, and more than that, the kind of thing I really enjoy in comics.
