:D:D I also loved the line spoken by Faora to Clark refering to Lois:D:
"you have feelings for this creature I inhabit":D
Even the zooners can feel the strong chemistry between Lois and Clark, and see that they´re destined to end in love with each other, I haven´t notice the importante of this line making reference to Lois and Clark´s future together as the legendary lovers. as well as Maxima felt their chemistry, also a Phantom bad woman felt Clark´s deep feelings for Lois. And no one can mess with Lois and Clark!!:D

I too really loved their caring for one another. First Clark tells Lois to run, then she tells him to drop it and tries to get it out of his hands. Then in the zone, they totalled wanted to protect each other, it was amazingly sweet.
But the problem does exist that if Maxima and the phantom as well as anyone close to Clark can see this connection, that just puts Lois in more danger, more of being a target, the way Braniac targetted Lana.
That keeping his secret from loved ones just puts them at more risk. These girls should be allowed the choice if they want that kind of life.

IN the Siver Age comics,Supes would use this as an excuse not to commit to marriage.But that Lois told him, it was a lame excuse ,since ANY close association with him put her in mortal danger anyway.:mad:
They got around this obstacle in the Byrne era and in L&C by having Lois fall for Clark.This is the approach I think PS3 will use.;)
Clark-Lois
11-08-2008, 08:34 PM
The Zoners and Maxima aren't the only ones who noticed their connection. Even Kara (in this episode) says that Lois is strong enough for the truth about clark. And that Clark knows it too or he wouldn't have let her get so close.

yep spelled out loud and clear by the lovely Ps3
You = you (Clark)
have = have (Present tense)
feelings = feelings (present tense)
for = for
this = this (present tense)
creature = person (Lois)
I = I (faora)
inhabit = Possess (present tense)
couldn't have been spelled out any clearer, thank you PS3 for spelling it out as well as showing it to us in season 8
Kara also hints at it too, telling him clark has let her close, and he agrees with a clear sharp NOD of the head, :)
thanks again Ps3 *kiss* *kiss*
and thank you for
Lois - "yeah right it was a dream as in make believe, what other reality stars you as my night in shining armor?"
clark - "I was your knight in shining armor"
Lois - "Like I said..crazy"
clark is now aware that Lois does indeed has feelings for him too..oh you let SLIP gurl and he knows it was a REAL situation for Lois and those were REAl feelings and not make believe...she really did see him that way.
and so we'll have him step up and make a move no?
In bride hopefully.

tis a parallel to what happened in Spell between lana and Clark. Same things were said by her, and it was a fact because Lana was his love interest
ohh that makes me go al fuzzy inside, because it somewhat solidifies that Lois is the love interest here *squee*

not really..Instinct appeared to end similar, until the next episode where we got a clear indication of just how much Lois really felt.
As for the ending of this episode Clark knows what happened in the PZ was real and when Lois says "it was a dream, make believe what other reality starts you as my night in shining armor"
LOl look at his face..It lights up and is content in the knowledge that the closeness they shared there was not make believe.
He knows the feelings are returned and so we'll see him make a move 1 episode later, asking her to dance etc etc. Its also supposed to be a massive event of Clark's life this episode..hmm him flying???

^^ITA. hyped4lnc and kris10...
I wish we could get more of a clear indication of Clark's feelings from his end instead of it being pointed out to him that he has feelings for Lois...I think part of the problem though is this...
The quote is from SuperComicFan it's from another thread but it fits the topic and it's something I completely agree with...
The problem with cutting Clark off from all of his human ties (Lana, Chloe, mamaKent, etc) is that he has no one to discuss anything with. So, the audience has to infer a lot. That makes people cry "lightswitch". I need Clark to have a non-shipper confidante, so we as the audience KNOW what he is thinking. The writing in every season since 4 has been horribly bad at conveying through the writing what Clark is thinking. I wish he had a BFF (NOT Chloe, she confronts the audience with too much baggage and that gets i the way). Maybe Lana is this person? I hope that they are able to write it so, and convincingly. Lana is that person in the comics. I would like to see that continue, so we can get a clearer picture of what Clark is thinking.
Clark needs a neutral party he can bounce his feelings off of...That party used to be his parents...It was how we knew exactly what Clark was thinking/feelings he would confide in them...This is just my opinion..
I hope we get a more clear concise indication on what Clark is feeling from Clark himself...I'm hoping that's basically what's going to happen in Bride

^^^The only person I could think of is Ollie, but he isn't really neutral since he has a history with Lois. Maybe they should bring Pete back.

he already has figured it out, at the end of committed. he's just shocked that she knew he had feelings for her. He's trying to hide them from anyone and everyone.
Even though he's not spelling it out, his actions are doing ALL the talking
lust
Jealousy
deeply concerned about Lois.
All the expressions on his face in intimate scenes since Committed = deeper feelings for Lois
Thig is, he's a guy, they dont show their emotions as much as Women do in the same situation.

getting pimped by other characters is much better than not having anything given to us to confirm it like clark and chloe. They just throw little bones and hints that dont lead anywhere when it comes to chlark..for 8 years LMFAO,:rotfl:
thank god they're using confirmation after confirmation when it comes to Lois & clark. This is the real deal and not some little bone given to us that doesnt lead anywhere. Thank you Ps3
Incase people didnt notice, clark and Lois seem to have alot parallels to eachother.

Yes, it seems that he has some feelings for Lois, but I think they will grow bigger and bigger in Lois' absence, when Clark will realize how much he misses her.

Clark already knew how he felt about Lois even before Lana told him so back in season 4,he was denied it as hard as he could.He was effraid about this new stronger feelings that were growing inside of him.But,he doesn't want Lois finding out because if she does,he would have to tell everything and he is extremely effraid to loose her.

Yes, ClarkMan has feelings for lois, in the same sense that he has 'feelings' for any human being versus the carnage that Mama Zod enjoyed seeing and hoping that her baby boy had done to humans. Had it been any other human, even Lex at his worst, ClarkMan would not have wanted to see a cold-blooded murder done by the Zodess, hence 'he has feelings' as opposed to he not caring a bit if someone were murdered or harmed in front of his eyes.
If MamaZod is a great reader of minds and she apparently is so, then she did not say that ClarkMan luved lois, on the other hand, the latter is on record as saying that she luvs ClarkMan. Mama Zod just verified human concern and sympathy. lois has a lonng way to go before she earns much more than that from him.
I love that, once again, we get an alien trying to pimp Clois. That's how natural this relationship is, it has to be said by every alien visitor that comes on Smallville that CLOISIZMENT2B4EVAH!! If this relationship was so great, why do we have to keep being told that there is chemistry? Why does it keep happening that when we get a guest star, they have to tell us that Lois and Clark are perfect? Doesn't make any sense.

I would argue that in S4 he really didn't have feelings for Lois yet. I think that's really a new development. I think Lana just assumed they were together at first. I think Clark definitely found Lois attractive, she is a beautiful woman. But it was friendship at first, and it's only now becoming something more.

Mama Zod just verified human concern and sympathy. lois has a lonng way to go before she earns much more than that from him.
Maxima didnt actually say that Lois loved clark but that doesnt mean she doesnt, because Lois does love him. Same difference.
MamaZod is not a reader of minds. She, just like the audience could see his feelings for her written plainly across his face during the entire scene. It was obvious from the moment he suddenly realized Lois was completely gone, to the fact her little jab about his parents didnt even faze him, he ignores it and again tries to get through to Lois...this is when she makes a comment about it. **scoffs in disbelief** "you have feelings for this creature I inhabit". It doesnt take any form of mind reading for her to spot these feelings with her own eyes at all.
She was talking about one person, the person she was currently inhabiting: Lois Lane and because Lois lane is clearly the only person Clark kent cares about in that scene, it prompted her to comment on it.
It was a hint of his feelings for Lois Lane and then within the next sentence was something used by her as a similarity to Jor-el's affection for the human race. Though Jor el also fell deeply in love with a human being so it could be that too.
This line of hers mimics what a possessed LANA said to clark "you desire this body" Im pretty sure there was no question back then that she was talking about his feelings for Lana, yet when its Lois and used in pretty much the exact same conext theres absolutely no way it means anything even remotely similar right?:rolleyes:

yep even in the earliest incarnations when they wern't even together and Lois would refuse to believe it other people would coment on how they were in love.

Clark certainly has feelings for Lois to be so concerned during the whole episode, and I would even say obsessed by her as if there was only her in his mind (although there was also Kara in particular moments in the episode)...When I watched the episode, it seemed to me that Clark kept repeating the name "Lois" A LOT in this episode, so I watched it again, and I counted that Clark said "Lois" 20 times!!!Isn't that obsession??:lol:
I also counted that Lois said "Clark" 8 times and "Smallville" 3 times, and what is interesting is that the only times she called him "Smallville" are when she acted like the typical Lois, at Clark's house and at the DP; when she was in the PZ she only called him "Clark", showing that she was so scared she wasn't in the mood for teasing Clark:D
I think the fact that they keep telling each other's name in this episode partly shows their deep concern for each other, and more and more on Clark's side which also shows his growing feelings for her.
DontCha
11-10-2008, 02:37 PM
lmao he says it 20 times??? wow
lol all she did was trip over and he yells "LOIS!!" and runs after her lmao
theres a huge difference in the way he was acting around her in this epiode compared to earlier seasons when she's been hurt, when he goes to help her up he holds her head and cheek and doesnt let go until she gets up, then he proceeds to keep holding her until she moves away,
Then he's tending to her wounds, then we get the "how many inocent lives is this woman worth to you?"
he didnt have to answer for the audience to know because even after she says this he still insists on her going home no matter what the risk. In other words she's worth ALOT to him.
----- Added 14 Minutes later -----
I think i'll just post what Erica says about the whole clois deal in this first half of the seasonbecause its clear from what she says that she has feelings him but doesnt want him to know and vise versa:
"Whats interesting with the Lois and Clark relationship is, she has through this season always pushed down what she's felt about him and its kinda bubbling to the surface. But they find themselves in these situations where either he's giving her advice about love or she's giving him advice about love and they're both cirling around the issue (that they have feelings) and you know clark, not that I can speak for clark but I dont think he's quite ready to except the fact that he could be relationship with this woman who drives him insane" *laughs*
so there you have it, both have feelings for the other but both dont want the other to know. Its not Lois chasing him with no luck, Its lois having feelings she doesnt want and its clark having feelings he doesnt want to have. They're both not ready for it. But that doesnt mean they dont have feelings now does it?

Actually, the first person to 'pimp' Clois was human. Lana I do believe. Then Jimmy.

I meant that Clark was feelings something but,he didn't know exactly what it was.By the way,in Crusade when he was Kal,100% kryptonian reborn and still he fallowed Lois to the hospital.Come on,he must have been feeling a connection there or he wouldn't fallow her at all.

ITA... Why must they stoop to the level of telling the audience about Clois liking each other by having some random villian say it. Why don't they trying to show the audience? Obviously it's lazy writing and relying to much on "it's destiny" factor or Clois can't be sold without it being told
I remember in earlier season when they did the same with Clana too. Always made me roll my eyes... But now they continue doing the same with Clois although much more heavily, quite annoying really.

11-10-2008, 06:04 PM
LOL what 6th sense/mind reading is there in these scenes?
lois was overtly jealous in Instinct maxima saw it and so did the audience, it was obvious for all to see that she had feelings for him and then Maxima comments on it. She also knows theres a bond there because clark obviously broke out of her spell for Lois which wouldnt normally happen to men under her spell. It was something we all could see including her. Though she did also feel it.
When Faora mentions it, its because it was written on clark's face/obvious from what he was saying in the scene. The feelings were apparent from the moment he realized that Lois was completely gone to the moment where he ignores her jab at his parents and continues to try get through to Lois. This is when she says the line because its become overtly obvious to her and the audience that he has deep feelings for lois lane.
People shouldnt be underestimating Aliens' P.O.Vs clark is an alien... man. so is Kara.
I love how I'm a hater because I don't worship Clois. And I never said they were the FIRST ones, I said the aliens are the ones pimping clois every 5 seconds.

In my opinion, we are being TOLD and SHOWN that Lois and Clark love each other. When Maxima told Lois that there was a bond between her and Clark, it was after we were SHOWN (and Maxima saw) Clark being able to pull away from her endorphin induced infatuation. Why would Clark care if Lois saw him kissing another woman? Why would he look so confused at Lois' sudden show of envy or look so eager to run after her?
Then, of course, we have the rest of the episode where we are SHOWN in the beginning that Clark is holding onto Lana (gazing longingly at her necklace and missing her presence at the farm), but then putting that "vanilla" relationship in the past for the "wild cherry" that is Lois by asking her to move in by the end of the episode. These are things that are being done by the characters and SHOWN to us, the viewers. What Maxima said was just an added bonus.
The same could be said about Bloodline. Faora may have TOLD us that Clark had feelings for Lois, but the rest of the episode SHOWED us that this was the truth, as DontCha explained so beautifully. Clark SHOWED his concern for Lois, was more hands on with her than he usually is (cupping her face, holding her hand, etc.), and looked genuinely pleased at the idea that he was Lois' "knight in shining armor." He even looked dejected when he came home to the farm where he knew Lois wouldn't be living.
We've been SHOWN for years that Lois and Clark care for each other, and now we're seeing evidence that these feelings are evolving into something much deeper and more romantic. Whether it was through their flirtation in Gone and Devoted, their heart to hearts in Lucy and Oracle, or their mutual supporting of each other during break ups (Siren and Arctic), Lois and Clark have been shown to be attracted to each other, to understand each other better than anyone, and to care deeply about the other's well-being. Heck, we've even had shooting stars and Superman music playing in the background of their scenes together.
We've even been SHOWN through symbolism, that Lois and Clark are developing loving feelings for each other. This is just my speculation, but to me there has been a great deal of meaning in the imagery of the elevator/stairs of the DP where the elevator represents embracing romance and the stairs represent taking it slow. In Plastique when Clark runs off to save Chloe, Lois was ready to take the elevator and assumed Clark took the stairs. In Instinct, TPTB deliberately had Clark move from the desk to the elevator and when the doors opened Lois said, in her dismay, said she would take the stairs. In Committed, Lois was going to avoid Clark by taking the stairs, but he, encouraged by her lie-detector induced admission of love, not only takes the elevator but also urges Lois to join him. This scene is further enhanced by the uttering of that iconic phrase, "statistically speaking, this is the safest way to travel"--something Clark's have only ever said with Loises around. At that moment in the elevator, Lois and Clark are almost on the same page and it's also when Lois says that they "make a good team." However, when her lie that she doesn't love Clark is accepted, they fall out of synch once more--precisely at the moment that Lois leaves the elevator.
I'm still kind of mulling things over regarding the elevator/stairs imagery, so forgive me if I didn't make any sense.
My point, and I assure you I have one, is that we are being SHOWN and told that Lois and Clark have feelings for each other. We have gotten CW produced trailers highlighting their budding romance even. I have no idea where Clois will go next, but spoilers say that they will be growing even closer by Bride, with Clark displaying jealousy, and both of them sharing a dance. These are visuals, much like Lois and Clark sitting across from each other at the DP at the end of Plastique, that this is the legendary couple that has been adored for decades. If some alien women like Kara, Maxima, and Faora join the ranks of Lana, Oliver, fortune teller lady from Crimson (Star?), and psycho jeweler from Committed who see the Clois chemistry then I say they're just confirming with words what many of us already knew just from watching the show--that Lois and Clark are meant for each other.
Sorry for the long post, and I apologize for any writing errors, confusion, or any other offense I might have inadvertently written. Rant over.

ITA with you..BEA-utiful post ginervakent!
and i dont know about anyone else but to me ACTIONS speak MUCH MUCH MUCh louder than words
when the character says they love someone it just doesnt quite do it foe me its much more meaningful when they SHOW it. I have no problem with other characters saying it because it means they can see it too..and it solidifies that what we are seeing on screen with clark and Lois isnt just something we can see, its confirmed by other characters of the show.
Instinct:
Shown: Lois getting jealous, Clark pulling away from the spell because of Lois, running agfter her because she's upset and doesnt like it, Lois going NUTZ, Lois in absolute denial, MaXima MAKING her accept it. Clark wanting her to stay with him.
Said: Maxima "you have a deep bond, its why he left me for you yada yada, deep attraction"
Bloodline:
Shown: Clark's pleasently surprised face when Lois said she's movin in, then his hesitation because of how he now feels about her. Clark running to Lois both times she's on the ground, cupping Lois' face until she got up, holding her until she moved, tending her wounds, reassuring her that when together nothing can beat them, Clark being asked how many innocent lives Lois means to him, then him insisting she still goes through the portal (thats alot then) holding Lois' hand.. Lois wanting to stand by clark, Lois wanting to protect clark, refusing to leave without him, having to be PUSHED out. Clark's huge look of shock and heartbreak because Lois Lane is now gone from his life and Faora stands there instead. Clark not letting this woman steal Lois away from him by firmly grabbing her arm in anger. Clark trying to get through Faora to bring lois back..then him trying to comfort her through Faora and heck I think I could see tears welling in his eyes there..when Lois is back again we get a MASSIVE hint of how important she is to him, He doesnt want to let her out of his sight, he's THAT scared of losing her again. His face lights up when she calls him her "knight in shining armour" and yes, he knows that its not a make believe emotion from lois because the situation was real and so those feelings from her are real. Clark now knows the feelings are returned..bring on BRIDE and clark actually making a move "shall we dance"
Said: "you have feelings for this creature I inhabit" - Faora.."you've let lois get close" - kara
they're not telling us something we dont know they're stating the obvious.

We have gotten CW produced trailers highlighting their budding romance even. I have no idea where Clois will go next, but spoilers say that they will be growing even closer by Bride, with Clark displaying jealousy, and both of them sharing a dance. These are visuals, much like Lois and Clark sitting across from each other at the DP at the end of Plastique, that this is the legendary couple that has been adored for decades. If some alien women like Kara, Maxima, and Faora join the ranks of Lana, Oliver, fortune teller lady from Crimson (Star?), and psycho jeweler from Crimson who see the Clois chemistry than, I say they're just confirming with words what many of us already knew just from watching the show--that Lois and Clark are meant for each other.
Sorry for the long post, and I apologize for any writing errors, confusion, or any other offense I might have inadvertently written. Rant over.
Of course we are gonna have different opinions on this, which is fine. Just my point being with this particular season, the writers are resorting to random characters telling the the audience about how Clois like one another, to get their point across. That's what bugs me. I'm not saying you shouldn't enjoy it, feel free. I guess, shouldn't the reasons you posted about above be enough to SHOW Clois's feelings, so why must they have villains shout Clois...

Thanks for the kind response. I just want to let you know that my above post wasn't really directed at you specifically, but what you did write inspired me to get some things off my chest. I'm glad we can respectfully disagree on what's happening with Clois this season. If we all saw and believed the same things, this site would be boring and so would the show.
That being said, I wouldn't say that the writers are resorting to random characters to get their point across. Those characters are just offering supplementary commentary to what we are already being shown. I recall Chlarkers getting excited when Davis/Doomsday (villain) thought Clark and Chloe were engaged in Plastique. As pointed out earlier, in Spell Lana (as Isobel--a villain) said the same line of "you have feelings for this creature I inhabit" to Clark, and it was true.
To me, it doesn't matter who says it because the truth that is being highlighted through words and deeds is that Lois and Clark are soulmates that are slowly but surely falling in love.

Its to state the obvious, Characters dont always have to say the words "I love you" in order for it to be real. IMO words from the character themselves are nothing. Its not enough to convince an audience that they really love this person. Its gotta be shown. Their actions speak louder than words. In both these episodes where the Aliens have stated the obvious, before and after they have said so, we, the audience have seen the actions from the characters which indicate how much they actually mean to eachother.
Lois lane, she would never, ever casually admit she loves clark to his face or anyone else unless it was something like a life or death situation. There was one and we got it from her
Clark, IMO its gonna have to be something similar in order for him to actually admit that he has feelings for Lois Lane.
Heck we sort of got it in Bloodline when they were in the PZ, not direct words but actions and his indirect answer to "how many innocent lives is she worth to you?" Obviously ALOT because he still insisted she be sent home through the portal.

I'd rather Clark figures it out on his on. I don't like the direct quotes from other characters. I would rather see it in his actions and hear it in his words.
I think he had realized before, remember the look he had in committed, its just that other creatures are noticing it as well, he is not denying it

Tatiana, you'd be surprised to know how overlooked that moment is when lois makes him question how he actually feels about her which, then leads to his dawning look of realization accompanied with dramatic music.
the episode titles often have 2 meanings to them
IMO Chloe and Jimmy become committed and so do Lois and clark because this is the moment he realized he actually had feelings for her too, and there is now no going back on it.
