Is Lois Blind?

[RosaandPike]

Did she not see: Clark headbutt Romantimaniac, then toss the kryptobracelet down the drain, then heat vision the pipes before the room filled with steam in order to save the day? Did she not notice Clark was not bleeding when he approached her afterwards? It is an automatic assumption that she would ask him how he did that. That would be Lois in full nosey mode. Last we saw of her before the altercation was her staring at Clark, so what gives? Are we suppose to believe that she was so emotionally traumatized that she couldn't see two feet in front of herself? Any explanations would be appreciated. They will probably have future episodes with Lois investigating Clark now...at least they better.

Does the future Lois not notice that Clark is Superman? :rotfl: It's all too far fetched, but it's a show.

[Liquid-Prince]

She was shocked (emotionally) and had been through an ordeal. She could have not realized. Besides I thought Clark's heat vision was invisible.

[unfocused]

You registered to ask that?

Hey welcome to Kryptonsite.

[susangail]

She was freaked out. I'm surprised that she didn't notice Clark's healing later, though.

[zorasuperman]

i think she was more embarassed about her confession that she loved clark kent
she was probably more worried about that lol forget hte world is falling on her and shes about to die but for clark kent to realze that she loved her O NOOOOO DOOM

[mistaguitarmasta]

I think that was why Clark blasted those pipes with his heat vision. They wanted us to believe that the smoke obscured her vision to the point where she couldn't see what was happening. Not really believable, but then again neither is the core concept of Superman itself.

[darkkent177]

clark is to fast for lois to see in super speed

[superpeon1]

I feel like the writers are just trying to lead us on. There's no way that Lois is blind. She's probably just ignoring the issue.

[Tatiana]

I think she did see him headbutt and fight the guy, and heard it too, I don't think she saw his heat vision though because I guess he has the ability to change the levels of his heat vision to do what he needs. Now about the bleeding, I wondered the same lol it was the first thing that came out of my mouth but honestly I didn't care much, I was still too excited over her revealing her true feelings in front of him and the face he made hehehe. Like someone else said, it is a show and Lois is kinda slow when it comes to realizing he is a hero lol

[cksidekick]

after the headbutt, Clark hit superspeed like he did when he heat blasted the flood waters in Bizarro...so one second he was in the chair, and the next he was free...

[Ginx]

I think Lois did see most of what Clark did but is writing off some of it to 'emotional distress' because she looked at him like 'hey what was that... nevermind it was in my head' - at least to me that's how I took it.

if she see's something again she'll start to put things together.

Think this all forwardshadowing what is to come. Lois will find out Clarks secreat as they get closer to becoming a couple, to which Clark will start using his powers more around her trying to save her. I'm guessing this will happen during the last two episodes featuring Lana. And.... I want to see red krypto Clark again. This will be intresting, cause it will forse him to admitt his feelings for Lois. And I'm thinking it will create a lot of Clois angst.

[SteveS]

I don't know whether this version of lois is blind or not, but she is definitely DUMB.

People are going to complain with "oh not more red K"... I personally like that idea though!

[chlarker4eva08]

its pretty stupid but once that bracelet was gone it turned into "clark time" and bcuz hes so fast she cudnt c him do the heat vision thing...and the rest is history

[green_arrow_girl358]

you forgot about him blowing down the door and super-speeding down the staris before-hand. she wasn't staring at him but that must have sounded like a hurricane had blown through

[Ginx]

And throughout the scene Lois did seem a bit 'groggy' so maybe she wasn't all the way with it from the tranq that the baddie gave her? I just think she wrote some stuff off as her not being with it. Lois seems more likely to not believe in the 'powers' and would write them off rather than talk about them out loud and feel awkward :)

[Karafan1]

Clark used his heatvision infront of Lois, Chloe, a bunch off fottball players and that cheerleader in "Devoted" and nobody noticed then either..

[j-kent]

The visible "heat beams" are for show like that for our purpose as an audience. His heat vision isn't as noticeable...think Superman Returns. Also, how logical and rational would you be if you were in that situation? Chances are you won't be observant to everything.

[Cyn]

Is Lois Blind???

D'oh! I think over 70 years of Comic's, Movies and TV have answered that question over and over again. Yes, Lois will allow herself to be blinded because of love. However, she isn't stupid. She will follow the truth in whatever direction it leads, but she will not expose those she loves. If that comes across as blind, that is okay by me.

[ginnyfan]

LOL!

When Superma - I mean Clark came through the mist and Lois said, "Clark?" I thought. Well, now Lois knows his secret. It reminded me of "Bizarro" when Lois was trying to save Chloe and Clark burst through the wall. LOL!

*shrug*

[Dpyro]

he shouldve said answer me! and shock lois until he answered this would've caused her to become unconcious and then he did all that hero stuff lol i need to write for this show

[haydenclaireheroes]

she was to stund with the last words she said and what the lie detecter said!

[ColdPlay3r]

^^ yeh, she couldnt just look at him

[baltazor]

Lois was far too embarrassed by what she just admitted in front of him that she wouldn't even notice him even if he was flying in front of her...

[Dor el]

I don't know whether this version of lois is blind or not, but she is definitely DUMB.

Galactically? Absolutely not. Lois is being iconic Lois.

[superpal1]

I agree with the heat vision and the steam making it hard to see as a device to assume that she did not see anything. As for the headbutt and throwing of the necklace, not to sure how to explain it away. Sometimes you just have to enjoy the show and not read to much into it.

[jimmyolsenblues]

Is Lois Blind?

she always has been traditionally in the comics. they spoofed it in the show lois and clark

[unfocused]

Sooner or later Clark will have to kill Lois for knowing too much.

[FaaipDeOiad31]

This was the only annoying part of this episode. It's clear Clark is bruised and bleeding... She saw him get hit with a shovel. Fat lip... huge nasty bruise on his forehead.

Then, all the Superman smoke clears, the crazy guy is on his rear end, Clark has somehow ripped out of a bunch of chains and handcuffs, and isn't bleeding or bruised anymore. We're already going into the show believing a man can fly, and I'm okay with that, but don't bamboozle the audience like that. Treat us with a bit more respect.

As Tempus once said in Lois and Clark: "Clark Kent is Superman. Ha, ha, ha. Well, that was worth the whole trip. To actually meet the most galactically stupid woman who ever lived."

[<<S>>]

She was shocked (emotionally) and had been through an ordeal. She could have not realized. Besides I thought Clark's heat vision was invisible.

That's what I always thought. The color is mainly for the audience to see that he is using heat vision, otherwise it would look odd for him squinting at a pipe and it bursting.

[redeem147]

Since blood doesn't actually run back into a cut when it heals, I see that more of a continuity error or plan silliness that there was no blood. It's a pet peeve with me for superhero healing scenes :)

[LuckyLois]

I don't know whether this version of lois is blind or not, but she is definitely DUMB.

You should add dissing Lois to your hobbies!

[Ilovebeinglost]

Chloe always suspected there was something about Clark, she said so when they finally talked about it and so I think Lois suspects something about Clark too but knows better than to mention it at this time.

When Clark came through the fog all healed up I think she was in some kind of shock and just said, " I don't know" when asked if she was ok. It was like she was in disbelief of it all.

[skylar]

I think Lois was so scared of what might had happened to Clark to realize what she may or not seen.

As a Superman fan, I can say I enjoyed Lois and Clark. As a TV show fan, that show really wasn't that great.
And yes, Lois turns a blind eye at times.
And there's no way Lois wouldn't look up after Clark head butted the guy. I'd believe she was looking down in embarrassment, but once the ruckus started she'd have to look up.
And other people can see Clark's heat vision, at different times. It depends on intensity. Remember in early smallville his vision was clearer and more 'energy wavelike' while last night was red hot. This isn't relevant, but people can see it. I don't knwo how lois missed it.

[clarkbunny]

Sooner or later Clark will have to kill Lois for knowing too much.

Ha ha ha - that made me laugh

I really didn't have any problem with the whole Clark goes into super mode thing here. I was satisifed with the headbutt, ripping off the bracelet then the rest being obscured by the steam from the pipes. Nobody can actually see Clark's heat vision it's just an effect so we the audience know he's using it. So Lois wouldn't have seen Clark heat vision the pipe, just Clark head butting the guy then a whole heap of steam then Clark being free.

My only issue is with Clark blowing the door off the hinges at the beginning. Neither Lois nor the kidnapper seemed taken aback by that. You'd think the kidnapper would think it was the police with explosives or something for the door to fly off the hinges like that.

[Charissa70]

she was totally shocked to see clark in front of her, but, if you thought you were going to die and then it gets smokey and don't know what was going on, it probably would not all register. I think it was written that way. Lois might be written to ask some questions later, but, as in chloe and lana near deaths, it is starting to be the norm-unexplained miracles in smallville

[Alicia Chipy]

Lois was in a Physical and emotional catatonia due to her revelation in front of Clark.
She also turns a blind eye to his sudden disappearances and lousy alibis.
As she said in the elevator scene:Smallville is a lousy liar,she "chooses to suspend belief".

[LuckyKrypto]

I think it all happened much faster than what we saw. Remember, Clark can be faster than a speeding bullet right? So most likely she was just stunned not dumb. :)
Not to mention I think above someone mentioned Lois and Clark the TV show, they did do a little storyline on Lois never putting two and two together, I didn't really think it was that big of a deal;):)

[petewillreturn]

There is always the idea that she might not be telling what she saw, but I’m with the people who say she was embarrassed. It goes with that Lois and Clark mystery of why she doesn’t know that he is Superman, because she is trying to deny her feelings of love for him. The vibe I’m getting is that wholesome farm boys fall for Lana types and not Lois types. Also Lois was around for the whole Lana thing and maybe thinks that Clark will never let go, and she isn’t the type to come in second.

Remember, she's the 'harley' Clark was saving up for.

I agree. For the most part heat vision isn't visible to the naked eye. But that would be boring to watch for us, we'd just have Clark staring intently at a pipe and then the pipe burst.

[Karafan1]

That's a pretty drastic step.. Can't he just do the mind wipe kiss like in the movies??

[migo]

Lois assumes Clark is a bumpkin. If something like that happens she's going to be thinking "wow, that was unexpected" not "oh, Clark's a meteor freak".

[shiny]

I think another question to ask is: "Is Clark blind?" At least, I think he should have used xray vision before entering the basement, not just to scan for where Lois is, but also see where the psycho dude is. And also, doesn't he know by now that all these psycho's have kryptonite on them (refer to that serial killer from "Tomb" in season 5) somewhere... I don't think he can xray vision the krypto from afar, but still you would think he would be a bit more careful by now (and less overconfident)... Yes, absolutely he was a LOT sharper in this epi than the last 7 seasons, but he doesn't seem to be as intelligent with his powers as he could be/should be by now. True, the plot would have been a lot duller if he had somehow supersped and knocked out the guy before helping Lois in the basement, esp. we would have missed Lois' "confession" but perhaps Cloe could have mentioned he use his xray vision before charging into a confrontation... Something to look into...

[ClarkRules!]

Lois Lane is "glactically stupid" as has been previously stated (LOL)

i thought it was the sign that superman has arrived cause not only was there no blood on his face, his hair was combed back and he looked all perfect like the way superman does in his suit after he's fought the bad guys!

i loved it!

[thebog1]

dont think she or a lot of fans noticed the LACK OF BLOOD on clark's face when he bends/kneels down to free her. he had blood on his face from the pipwrench.. now its suddenly gone? where'd he go to wash up? der de der!

[SnowBird]

Some put too much thinking into some scenes and it takes the fun out of it. I didn't even miss the blood until someone memtioned it. Steam is made of water could explain the missing blood. Usually Clark just wipes it off. Who knows what could happen while hidden in the cloak of the steam.

In Season 4, I remember when Clark was beaten up by the asst. coach and Lex came to run him off. Clark had a big gash over his right eye. The green K dripped out of his nose while Lex had his back turned. All of a sudden Clark's injuries healed. Lex questioned Clark as to what happened to the cut above his eye. He said I'm feeling better all of a sudden and Lex didn't question his answer. This is typical Smallville to let things go that could expose Clark's secret. It doesn't bother me at all because this is a sci-fi, fantasy and not to be taken too seriously. Apparently Lois like Lex just didn't make a fuss about it and we move on and hopefully don't get stuck in quick sand called realism to pull us down.

[Meteror Freak]

Does the future Lois not notice that Clark is Superman? :rotfl: It's all too far fetched, but it's a show.

Lois is too busy talking to notice things of that nature :p

[nk_84]

Did she not see: Clark headbutt Romantimaniac, then toss the kryptobracelet down the drain, then heat vision the pipes before the room filled with steam in order to save the day? Did she not notice Clark was not bleeding when he approached her afterwards? It is an automatic assumption that she would ask him how he did that. That would be Lois in full nosey mode. Last we saw of her before the altercation was her staring at Clark, so what gives? Are we suppose to believe that she was so emotionally traumatized that she couldn't see two feet in front of herself? Any explanations would be appreciated. They will probably have future episodes with Lois investigating Clark now...at least they better.

I guess this is the reason Superman and Krypton isn't based on real life my friend.

If you're going to sit and wonder how superman flying around the world made time go backwards, you're going to have a headache.

Somethings, you're not supposed to think about:D

EXACTLY. Dude... don't overthink tv. it is all fake. thier is no logic in tv land.

[Lobby4Chloe]

Clark's usually more careful before he does something like use heat vision in front of somebody who doesn't know. I was a little surprised.

[stenochick]

This is a woman who for almost 70 years believed that Clark and Superman were two different people because Clark wore thick glasses

J/K. This is a very valid question. I think the beams he emits from his eyes are visible to the audience but not the people in the story, the same as Kryptonite appears to glow neon green when it is near Clark (I mean the actual rocks, not the refined stuff like that dude's bracelet) but people in the story are not actually seeing that. Or when Clark's eyes glow red when he wears the redK ring.

She definitely saw the headbut and bracelet toss, and probably thought, "oh great, he's gong to play the hero and get us killed." Then she saw pipes burst for no reason and smoke/fog. Then she heard Clark call for her and then she saw Clark up close with no signs whatsoever of his previous injuries.

At that point, she was probably in such a state of disbelief at what had just transpired since being abducted that that detail did not register in her brain.

If questioned about it later, she would probably recall it, or the memory of it might resurface later. The next day, all she cared about was her embarassment over confessing her love for Clark. If I were her, I would have used the "please explain to me what the heck you did in there to get us free?" to deflect the attention away from the "about that test..." conversation.

P.S. Welcome to the forum!

If there are further budget cuts for season 9, we may just see Clark staring and have to assume he just did something in superspeed, or used heat vision, or just used xray vision to see something. lol:lol:

[unfocused]

the budget cut actually did us a favor. Because now we don't have to see Clarks inner ear every time he superhears conversations :lol: I'm serious. The superhearing method they used in Committed was so much better than that really cheap CGI of his inner ear.

Here is the scene where Clark uses 5 super powers. Superpeed, superhearing, superstrength, superbreath and heat vision. The superhearing is at the beginning of the video. Click here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IVdu_xlmnE) to watch. Stupid youtube threw the audio out of sync.
