Name your annoying moments!

[blackcelebration]

Before I list the annoying moments (As per usual) I've decided to let you the people list your own annoying moments as the episode airs, whatever one's I find cool will end up on the list later (Plus some others I'll obviously list myself).

So err... here we go.

P.S this thread will close once the annoying aspect thread opens.

So err... unleash your annoyances:eek:

[Lost Son of Krypton]

My annoyance, Clark gets bailed out with yet another mulligan. I got so dog on pumped, despite the fact I really thought the mythos was being rewritten before my eyes, I was ok with it as it was happening. And now once again, Superman is a time traveler. oy vey.

[myankskent]

Pretty much this entire episode annoyed me, from Clark not coming up with the information exposing Lake's murders at the beginning of the episode to actually believing that revealing his secret was going to work out just fine to not having learned that turning back time creates more problems to Lois somehow getting hurt by Clark yet again at the end of this episode.

[6-Super-Man -5]

Any scene with Linda Lake.

[xrayvision]

The main annoying thing for me in Infamous was that again they had Chloe steal Clark's thunder by suggesting the reporter/hero duality in the same way Clark will be doing it. This really pissed me off. Why do they have to make Chloe put all the future Superman ideas in Clark's mind instead of having him learn from trial & error himself? This is one of the main remaining things I wanted to see developed over the remainder of the series, and with 1 f'n damn line, they ruined it all! This really pisses me off.

:mad:

[Kal El 12]

Clark destroying the legion ring.....dumb

[shamville]

Clark destroying legion ring dumb move ever. What happen if you need use it again? He need use it save chloe.

[6-Super-Man -5]

Yeah, that too!

[Lost Son of Krypton]

Yeah I just finished watching the rest, and I am sick of more of the love angst. I mean where in the world is carmen sandiego. They might as well just have them can't stand each other and call it a day. But now instead of Crybaby Lana with live action tears, we get Brokenhearted Lois equipped with the Motorola Q with the kung fu grip.

I can only imagine how I will get screwed in season 9.

[Loisdragon]

Lana being mention nuff said

[Alexander III]

It has to be Clark's secret revealing to the world, to Lois! I mean c'mon, for the past 6 yrs Clark, haven't u realized the consequence of revealing ur secret? Your best friend leaving u, Lana went coo-coo and leaving u, Chloe going thru all the crazy near-death moments, too many! I just think this episode is full of crap. Clark gets dumber by days and nites, months by months, years by years. UGH!!

[Poyntz]

Yep destroying the ring was stupid i agree!!

I was kind of annoyed that Lois seemed upset that Chloe and Lana knew about Clark for a few years. They knew him personally for years before she did why was she so surprised?

Tori Spelling was not good. Totally overacting and over the top.

OH yeah i agree with it was stupid of him to think it was a bright idea to release his secret also. How did he find it ok to wipe chloes mind to protect her but not think of the uproar the whole world would go in.

[Beef Waggly]

Tori Spelling and Smallville do not mix. She is a horrible actress and needs to stick to the same sh*t she always does. Soo glad Davis took her out. She was highly irritating. Bad casting...very bad.

[AgentChaos]

Lois believing she was the first person Clark told about his abilities.
Clark not offering Chloe the chance to write the story first.

[xrayvision]

Clark destroying legion ring dumb move ever. What happen if you need use it again? He need use it save chloe.

That's why I think Chloe will be dead soon. And I hate to have to say this, especially when I loved her character for the first 4 years & after I started liking her again this season, but she has to go. She spoiled the identity problem for Clark. That was something that he had to figure out himself & should have been one of the last remaining development issues for Clark & it was ruined with just a few lines from Chloe. Chloe's presence just makes Clark stupid because they keep building her up at his expense. This was not the case before she knew the secret, but has plagued her character starting season 5 on (except for the few episodes after Clark had Jor-El take her memory).

[Trailmix]

Nothing. This episode was awesome and Smallville is kicking it into gear. Turbulence is going to be epic.

[Beef Waggly]

Yep destroying the ring was stupid i agree!!

I was kind of annoyed that Lois seemed upset that Chloe and Lana knew about Clark for a few years. They knew him personally for years before she did why was she so surprised?

Tori Spelling was not good. Totally overacting and over the top.

And how could I forget. Why on earth did he destroy the ring? If anything, I would have hid it in the fortress. You just never know when you might need to turn back time. The Legion must have given it to him for a reason :shakes head followed by a facepalm: But wait, the fortress hasn't been rebuilt yet has it? Clark, get your act together!

[Supsfan]

Not a strong episode for Clark's character overall. First with needing Mama Chloe to tell him what to do, then Lois saving him, then he is to chicken to have a fricken cup of Coffee.

Can't they just write Clark to be a strong smart happy person with limited hang ups.

[NinaDavis]

The scenes with Chloe
Clark being a BDA
Lana mentions
The end scene! Cut the angst!
The ulgly face and ugly make up of Linda Lake!

[Lara Lor Van]

Clark destroying the ring.
Chloe not able to write the story.
Clark using ring before Lois could tell him about Chloe and Davis

[Sports72Xtrm]

Clark telling Chloe to get the hell out of Smallville for her own safety and Chloe being all "No way you are leaving me behind". Ugh.

[skylar]

Yeah destroying the ring was a bad move that might be the number
one annoying moment

The worst was "Mama Chloe" giving him his solution to his identity problem--something I was hyped to see him come up all by himself. I can't believe how this didn't bother everyone.

[Cali978]

pretty much anything with tori spelling had me clawing my eyes out... god she's horrible!

Ditto. It's like the writers were drinking "Deja vu" kool-aid or something. Same story, song and dance.:(

[Lexsghost]

Big dumb alien.

[clois-destiny-forever]

Clark needing to run every idea by Chloe first. Can't he be creative about his own life?

Chloe's not a reporter anymore WHY would he go to her?

[MrZeppo]

All the Linda Lake scenes, sorry, I think Tori Spelling is a horrible actress. I've always hated her since the days of my older sisters obsessing over 90210.

I cheered when Lois kicked her butt in the barn, when Clark electro-shocked her, AND when Davis murdered her. I probably would have cared more if it were any other actress.

And the scene in the beginning with her and Clark did irk me the most in the episode. It made no sense because I don't think Clark and Linda even met in "Hydro"! In "Hydro" Chloe and Lana took care of Linda Lake while Clark was pretending to be Green Arrow and making out with Lois because she guessed Ollie was GA. The scene made it sound like they met...

I agree.

I also didn’t like next week’s preview where it seems like Clark might fly. I don’t want his first time to be with Tess.

You forgot to add that pretty much every scene with Chloe was useless.

Really, Chloe? YOU need to point it out to Clark? He's too dumb to figure it out on his own? I was ready to hear Clark go, "Yes, Mommy, I'll be careful."

Chloe wasn't needed in this episode. Neither was Doomsday. Is THIS the SAME story we're going to get in "Turbulence", "Eternal", "Stiletto", "Injustice", and "Doomsday"??? Davis wants to not be evil? Chloe and Davis share "moments" where she's in danger & wants to be his friend. We need HOW MANY episodes to see these same scenes????

I'd rather have seen Tess... I would have loved to see her reaction to the paper & see her grill Clark. And see her promote Lois to editor... this was an episode that should have revolved around the DP cast. Hell, I'd loved to have seen JIMMY'S reaction to finding out he was right.

Where was she going to print it? The monthly newsletter that Isis passes out to its employees?

[clois-destiny-forever]

^ I agree with everything you just said! Chloe and Davis dragged down the plot.

Yes, I agree. It seems like they are going down the same path with Clois that they did with Clana. I hate that -- it's like Clark can never learn and can never grow up.

In general, I had massive issues with the script. I thought the direction was very good. But I didn't think the script lived up to the premise. It could have been so much better. Or maybe this episode just had too many problems going in, because it followed up the dual WRECK that was "Power" and "Requiem".

I was also annoyed by Lois covering herself over the x-ray vision thing. I get that they were trying to do some sort of cutesy homage to the movie -- but she knows Clark well enough to know that even the thought of boobs makes the guy have a hernia. Why'd he sneak peeks in his spare time? Very OOC of her.

[Supsfan]

Oh yeah, that bothered me. I think that - instead of Mrs. Kent - we're going to be seeing Chloe sew the suit in this series. :lol:


Wouldn't suprise me, it seems whenever a character leaves the show, they just throw those traits on to Chloe. The reason I refered to her as Mama Chloe was because the first scene in the barn would be something I expected out of Clark's parents and Clark when he was 15 and it sounded better then Papa Chloe.

[moviefan2k4]

I was also annoyed by Lois covering herself over the x-ray vision thing. I get that they were trying to do some sort of cutesy homage to the movie...Actually, I saw it as a nice reminder of that scene in "Blank", where Chloe closes her jacket after realizing Clark can see through things. It shows a bit of similarity between the cousins, which I thought was a nice addition.


...even the thought of boobs makes [Clark] have a hernia.It didn't seem to stop him from shacking up with Lana on more than one occasion, unfortunately. :(

I know... she was in full on Mrs. Kent mode today. I really did keep expecting Clark to start calling her "Mom". First, she gave him advice in the barn, then she had to explain time travel to him, and - at the end - she had to give him sage love advice on not wanting to get hurt. :rolleyes:

Like she's one to even give love advice? Where's JIMMY? You know, the guy she just MARRIED?

They were younger then... I don't know... I just think that it was a jarring moment in an otherwise serious scene.

Let's not go there...

[avisray1992]

Linda Lake. Sorry, Tori Spelling is a bad actress (IMO).

[Marfeic2011]

- clark NOT listening to Chloe when she told him revealing his identity was a bad idea (no duh)
- the whole scene by Chloe's car listening to the police bulletin sent out for his arrest : "suspect is considered unpredictable & without remorse" - what a stupid idiodic badly written line!
- the confrontation between lois & clark in his barn before he uses the ring - why can neither of them come out and say what they really mean?
- Tori spelling - I think the same pothead that cast Kara must have been involved in letting her back on the show because I just don't understand...
- destroying the ring
- thinking that he can never tell lois his secret - escpecially after she took it so well & stood by him
- clark being too much of a chicken**** to tell lois how he really felt or to give her an explanation for his behavior & not being ready to start a romantic relationship so soon after the lana debaucle - man up already Clark!!!

[deanropi]

How was Linda Lake at the Planet with Lois, but Clark ran Lois back to the farm and Linda was at the farm 2 minutes later.

[eas]

Good one. Was it still raining? Maybe she can fly through the wind using rain drops? :lol:

[Alicia Chipy]

Lois pandering to Clark by asking him out.
Linda Lake's shrill voice and hammy acting.
The end scene.

[Alania]

I'm still trying to process all the rest, but one thing is clear: Davis suddenly topped up to Hulk. " Release the beast, yeah, release it". And Davis with that look of Bruce Banner: "Don't make me angry, trust me, it's not good". I so want that beast 24-7 now:rolleyes:.

[PoisonIvy]

Clark's reasoning for telling Lois that he won't reveal his secret to her when he resets time. WTF, mate? I don't see the logic behind it.

"Because you [Lois] are special..." HOW ON EARTH DOES NOT TELLING HER MEAN SHE'S SPECIAL?!?!?!?

I get that it was supposed to be this BIG romantic moment, a sort of, "I have feelings for you, don't think that..." but after my heart was in my chest at Lois's soft acceptance of not being someone special to Clark, his response was epic!fail!

I just... logically... I don't get it! Had the episode somehow revealed that Lois knowing was a bad thing, maybe. Sure, she was put in danger when everyone else knew and she knew what he told her, but how is that HER fault? How did HER knowing bring that upon herself? It didn't.

So, if it's the rest of the world knowing that causes issues, then not telling her won't save her if/when they do find out. That is, if he saw how both Chloe and Lois became targets because they knew him and his secret, I don't get how, if everyone were to find out later, they still wouldn't assume Lois knows something by being in such close proximity to him. I mean, even in this episode everything Lois knew she printed, meaning everything she knew they [the world/the government/etc] knew it, too. And when he TOLD them that, they STILL didn't believe him. Who says they will believe him in the future when she knows even less?!

Her knowing never did anything adverse. It was the masses that brought it on her.

Chloe's right, he's being an angsty baby.

Dumb. Dumb. DUMB!

[dsfjr1190]

I wanted to see the reactions of the people in Clark's life when his secret was revealed to the world. (Oliver, Martian Manhunter, Tess Mercer, Martha Kent, Pete, and Jimmy Olsen)

[Lilah]

^Because of her reaction. She reacted different from everyone else who found out his secret. And he really does love her =]

[EternalTwilight]

Any scene with Linda Lake.

Agreed.

[PoisonIvy]

^Because of her reaction. She reacted different from everyone else who found out his secret. And he really does love her =]

Oh, I totally agree with all of that... but he seems to quantify her as "special" in the fact that he's not going to tell her, that's where I get frustrated.

I realize she's special because of who she is, what she's done for him, how she handles stuff, how she pushes him, how much he needs her, etc. but he makes it seem like her specialness is reason enough for not telling her, for denying all those things she can be for him, for all those things that make her "special". ^_^

[Lilah]

^He's not denying her. He really is protecting her. He saw what could happen if she found out and he was outed. Everyone he knows and loves could be in danger. Martha Kent was booted from the senate and Lois Lane was about to be taken into custody... he's keeping her safe.

[Bre723]

Okay, I think this had a purpose overall, but it made me mad!
When Lois was just about to tell Clark about Davis and then he went back in time!
I yelled at the tv,lol.

[mskingston]

I liked the episode a lot actually, but there were a few things that did grate:

1) the water references. I'm like, "enough!"
2) the timing (like Clark slipping the ring on before Lois could tell him about Chloe's message)
3) destroying the ring. I think Clark could protect it and I wish he trusted himself to do so.

[PoisonIvy]

^He's not denying her. He really is protecting her. He saw what could happen if she found out and he was outed. Everyone he knows and loves could be in danger. Martha Kent was booted from the senate and Lois Lane was about to be taken into custody... he's keeping her safe.

But that doesn't make her "special". That's my point. It makes her equal to everyone else that he's hidden (or, in the case of Chloe, erased) his secret from in order to "protect them". That's not why she's special. She's special because of all those things he's not letting her be in order to "protect" her. But my qualm is that he seems to say that not letting her know, that "protecting" her makes her "special", when it doesn't. It's that she's ALREADY "special" that he feels a need to do it, but she's not "special" for having it done.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't like his manner of rationalizing it to her. The way he replies makes it seem like yeah, she's special and he cares, but just as much as he cared when he hid it from Lana, when he erased it from Chloe. I just wish he had elaborated on why she was special or something. Perhaps just worded it better.

My heart was in my throat in that moment, I was choking down tears for Lois and Clark's response was sort of a blah, let down. I get what they were trying to articulate, what it all was supposed to mean, but the general lack of commitment to the sentiment, to defining his feelings made it very annoying.

[Kalista]

Clark not waiting to listen to Chloe's message before using the ring.
The recycled moment from Blank regarding Clark's xray vision.

Lois is special because he told her his secret, rather than let her find out from someone else or because of circumstance. Like Chloe did, like Lana did, like Lex did, like Oliver did, like Alicia did... He knows she's the one person, he wanted to tell his secret to. THAT makes her special above everyone else, not equal.

[Theshadow129x]

my annoyance was the entire episode

[smallvillebuddy12]

You know what was the most annoying thing, Lois just not being able to say she loves Clark when he is going to use the ring. Don't get me wrong it was a great scene but frikken come on its so obvious, just say it, IMO it was essentially what she felt when she was talking.

[ginnyfan]

Why didn't Clark zap Linda with his heat vision at the beginning instead of trying to hit/grab her? Also wouldn't his hit/grab have landed since he has super speed? Lois hit Linda multiple times... why didn't she turn into water then?

[smallvillebuddy12]

Good points. I thouight Clark should have used heat vision too, but that wouldn't destroy the water. . . she would be recycled I guess lol, actually idk.

[PoisonIvy]

Like Chloe did, like Lana did, like Lex did, like Oliver did, like Alicia did... He knows she's the one person, he wanted to tell his secret to. THAT makes her special above everyone else, not equal.

Again, I most vehemently agree. But, yet again he never SAID any of this. It's all conjecture that it was what he meant to imply... and that is why I find it aggravating. The ambiguity of it, how little he actually said.

You and I can read into it the fact that she is the only person he told his secret to, but that she doesn't know it, that many fans might not think about that makes me grrrr. All that Lois knows is that Chloe and Lana knew his secret before her. At no point in the episode are we clued into the notion that she is informed of the fact that they found out vs her being specifically told. He just says she's special as if that explains it all, but he never details why.

We can suppose many reasons for him to define her as such, some of which can even be construed non-romantically, and I just find it irksome the writers inability to commit to this idea of him having feelings for her. It's all hinted at and left to interpretation, but in the end, as a Cloiser, I feel like Lois. Open and exposed, waiting for something from Clark and getting only scraps.

And for now, that's okay. Because when she does get something back, it'll be worth the wait. TPTB already said Cloisers will forgive them in the season finale. I have hope in them again after tonight. I'm going down that road of forgiveness :)

LOL! Yeah maybe heat vision would just turn her into steam.

I am really becoming scared for Clois, I have this feeling nothing will happen until the very last minute of the very last season of the show

[miks]

Lois being so rude to Clark even after he apologized 1 million times about the airport thing. Hey Lois, why didn't you just wait inside!

Linda Lake is annoying. period.

Lois thinking she's the first person Clark told his secret to. umm hello remember Chloe, your cousin and Clark's BEST FRIEND. Or maybe Lana who he had a thing with for a long time? And then she got upset about not being the first. wow.

Lois being upset that he has to turn back time, not to protect Clark but because he's not going to tell his secret to her again.

Davis killing Linda. I can understand Dooms doing it but Davis?

How many people were calling Clark BDA just because he didn't go to coffee with Lois. Seriously? Just because of that?

[Kalista]

Hey Lois, why didn't you just wait inside!


I wondered about that too. She could have called Chloe or took a cab. She's not likely short on cash considering she just got a raise in Bloodline.

[outsyder]

As my friend put it best, "Quick- somebody help! That angry transvestite is going to kill Superman!!!"

All of Linda Lake.

[KrissO]

Time travel?

[Theshadow129x]

the entire episode

[dreamsofnever]

Lois being upset that he has to turn back time, not to protect Clark but because he's not going to tell his secret to her again.


Um, out of curiosity, did it annoy when Chloe got upset at Clark wanting to wipe the secret from her brain in Abyss as well?

Honestly, I didn't get that Lois was upset. Upset is raising your voice, crying, yelling, etc. She was sad, but accepted it. The direct quote was "I understand." Unlike Chloe who insisted he not take the secret from her. (not saying that what Chloe did was wrong either, but if you're going to say one character is annoying for doing something when another character did the SAME thing more forcefully, that's a double standard)


And my annoying moments were:
-Clark saying "I can't tell you because you're special" without elaborating because that just sounds like the kind of logic that isn't
-Chloe having to spoonfeed the identity thing to Clark AGAIN. Is he really that dense that he needs someone to hold his hand through the entire process? He has friends who are SUPERHEROES for god's sakes. He knows what a secret identity is. He shouldn't have to have someone else beat him over the head with the need for it.
-Linda Lake, though she's the type of character you're supposed to love to hate so kudos to them for pulling that off
-The use of the Legion ring as a magic fix. But I'm biased, so I hate time travel stories. And SV has done the time reversal and it went badly then too. How has Clark not learned that three seasons later?

[blackcelebration]

Yep here's your usual 10!

The most annoying thing of the episode was Tori Spelling herself. Im sorry, but there is something about her that I do NOT like. I don't know what it is but it annoys me to see her on the telly really. I have to say I enjoyed the parts where Lois beat her and when Davis shut her up permanently. Otherwise I loved the rest of the episode with Clark and Lois. though I must say I predicted the League ring arc.

Quoted For Truth.


My heart sunk when I read Tori was coming back on Krytponsite's spoiler page. Hydro was the worst episode this show has ever done IMO (At least it was until Power and Requiem aired). She can't act and (this will probably be out of line) she isn't exactly pleasant to look at. I would of gotten more enjoyment out of this episode if they had replaced Tori with a horse. It would of looked better and certainly would of acted better.

[Jedimaster_TTBaby]

Tori Spelling really can not act!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah and they are turning Doomsday into Hulk.

[Tompouce]

Linda Lake/Torri Spelling for sure lol

[Alania]

I thought i was the only one who got the impression Davis/DD was turning into a bad Bruce Bane/Hulk!!!!! How lame was that: "release the beast, yeah!"?! And Davis:"Don;t make me angry, you will regret it"! That is Doomsday, for the love of God, the only one who got to kill Superman, show some respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[e-µ-i]

The only aspect that irritated me was Tori Spelling herself. She's soooo ugly :(

[Night_Hawk90]

total ripoff the incredible hulk

[RingzTerritory]

chloe as usual, bad acting, useless character.

[Eurynome]

I was most annoyed with the obvious retcon. Rokk tells Clark that he programed the ring to travel forward in time. "Just think of 3009 and we'll be there." So until Clark knew how to reprogram the ring and had the foresight to know he might need to travel back in time, he shouldn't have been able to go back. I doubt he would reprogram the ring because he tells Lana that he wouldn't use it. When he slipped it on his finger, he should have gone forward, not back.

[costas22]

The fact that he put the ring on while Lois was talking about Doomsday!

[vyperman7]

My Top 3 annoying things in Infamous

1) Tori Spelling's acting. One of the worst actresses ever. Seriously. The scene at the end where she tells Davis to "let the beast out" literally made me cringe. We haven't seen this bad of an acting job since S5's Aqua with AR's first performance as AC. At least he has gotten somewhat better over the years though.

2) Clark using the LOSH ring was far too rushed and simplified. It bugged me that he just slips on the ring and magically winds up where he needs to be. It would have been cool to see more time spent on Clark learning how to use it, and having to work at arriving where he needed to go.

3) The pacing of the episode. The whole episode felt rushed to me. Especially the Clois reveal/interview segment. It cuts from Clark saying "I need to tell you where I am from" to showing the news article headline. I wanted to see more of an in-depth conversation face to face, and I wanted Clark to show Lois his powers.

[SupermanRox]

I would say Clark standing Lois up for coffee was pretty annoying. Tori Spelling can't act and it was painful to watch her.

What have you expected? They clearly don't know how to deal with Clois, afetr the Lana fiasco, and plus both of them looked bad at the end...Seriously, nothing can surprise me now..

[Wicked Lois]

I think there was too much Chloe.

[LoveHurts38]

Clark destroys the ringe after it saved his ass!

[ZODisGOD]

I really can't think of a bad thing about this episode(which is like a sequel episode to Identity). I would say the character Linda Lake, but her death made up for it.

[chlo-el]

Yeah, I didn't like that Clark acted like he met and defeated Linda Lake before because no Clark that was Chloe and Lana. You weren't there don't you remember Clark you were too busy helping Ollie deceive Lois.

[BadToad]

I'm not sure any of the above really fit into my feelings, except maybe the ridiculous instantaneous overreation of the government. For me, it was...

1. Chloe coming up with the idea of the dual identity, mind mannered reporter/hero. No offense to Chloe, but this sort of stuff really shouldn't belong to her, or ANYONE else but Clark. This sort of scene just cuts him off at the knees, and makes him look dumb. I hate that they do this to him, and I hate that they take the Chlark friendship to this place so often, because it doesn't do it justice. Sure, it makes Chloe look super-smart and insightful, and good for her. But that shouldn't come at Clark's expense. I'm beyond aggravated at this sort of writing.

2. The writing for Clark when it comes to his feelings, motivations and emotions. I just get so frustrated that the writing for the MAIN CHARACTER of the show is so darned weak. I understand him being unsure about things, but let him verbalize it. I really feel like they are keeping him in this vague, undefinable place so they can play with various ships, and string people along, and I think that does a great disservice to the MAIN CHARACTER of the show. Dries is a poor Clark writer anyway, but this really has become a season long problem now. His dialogue is weak. Why is it so hard for this show to write for their MAIN CHARACTER? I don't get it.

3. Boy, does this show look cheap. It makes me so sad. If you go back and watch an episode like Exile or Crusade, and see the production values, and then look at Infamous? My God, its terrible.

I doubt he would reprogram the ring because he tells Lana that he wouldn't use it. When he slipped it on his finger, he should have gone forward, not back.
When he handed him the ring he said it was for time travel only now, no flights. He told Clark to concentrate on the year 3009 and they would be there. There was nothing mentioned about travelling forward only in time, besides, how would he return if it was only programmed to go forward? The ring worked by thinking of the date, and the ring would send you to that date.

[DGirlLois4Clark]

I think there was too much Chloe.

:rotfl:

[Crouching Lurker]

The fact that he put the ring on while Lois was talking about Doomsday!

Yeah, this is the one that gets my vote. It wasn't just annoying, it was plain foolish on Clark's part. He clearly hears her go, "Chloe just called, you're not going to believe this but Dav." Shazam! Captain Meathead slams the ring on his finger. He's about to turn time back anyway, what's the rush? He can't wait two seconds for her to finish her sentence with information that could have been useful later on?

BDA gotta learn the hard way. :rolleyes:

Quite the opposite. Clark used the ring how is supposed to use and like the Legion told him to. He only had to think when he wanted to be, that's it.

[stenochick]

chloe as usual, bad acting, useless character.

I have to respectfully disagree with that one. I thought Chloe was a standout in this episode, both in her scenes with Davis and with Clark. My favorite was when Davis told her that he had to kill Clark and she said something like, "You stay away from him." I loved her delivery of that line.

Tori Spelling was acting so campy, and so was Tom Welling in that first scene with her. It felt like the old Batman tv show or a cartoon. Then you have extremely dramatic performances from Sam Witwer, Allison Mack, and Erica Durance in the same episode.

I thought the headline, "Clark Kent, Alien from Krypton" was ridiculous. It sounded like something from the "Weekly World News" ** not the "Daily Planet."

** Here is a link to images of actual issues of the WWN in case you are unfamiliar:

I totally agree about Chloe being the one to tell Clark about the dual identity. I forgot about that scene.

Also, I notice all the time how cheap it looks now. While watching Infamous, I said to myself, "Oh, look, extras!" It is hard to compare it to old episodes shot on location with dozens of extras.

Also, am I the only one who has grown to hate the background music? It really irritates me. In the past, I either did not notice the music or thought it sounded great.

I remember at the end of this one particular episode in the beginning of season 5, where they are in the hospital and there is this really cool, subtle score playing in the background. I kept rewinding it so I could keep the tune in my head. It was not a real song, just a Mark Snow score for that scene. I miss his scores. :(

http://www.supermanhomepage.com/images/chris-reeve-movies/caped-wonder-auction.jpg

But that headline is clever and relevant. The one last night was so literal and goofy. Why would you put his name in the headline if he is totally obscure and unheard of? And what human has ever heard of a planet called Krypton? It made no sense as a headline. The headline should have been something like, "Red-Blue Blur outs himself to the world" (or something like that) with a big picture of Clark.

[lifelovedestiny]

First off, the fact that Clark & Linda acted like they met??? I thought everyone thought she died????
Second, Clark had to know that there would be consequences to revealing himself!

3. Boy, does this show look cheap. It makes me so sad. If you go back and watch an episode like Exile or Crusade, and see the production values, and then look at Infamous? My God, its terrible.

I agree. I'm actually a little afraid to go back and watch the earlier seasons at this point because Smallville just doesn't look the same anymore. That street in Metropolis looks so awful. In one of the shots in this episode, we see a 15 foot wall up in the background representing a building and then there is nothing but sky behind it. It certainly doesn't look like a city to me.

I think Chloe was not as nearly as annoying as she was in Identity, when she explained to Clark what an alias and a pen name were like she was talking to a retarded three year old. I think that in this episode her second speech to him was passable, though I didn't like the first one at the barn because she overdramatized it a bit.

I have to agree with you in the fact that the show looks cheap. I was watching Crusade and Gone yesterday as I waited for the live thread (I only saw the episode this morning) and boy, production was so much better back then. They were exterior shots, cornfields, the characters actually drove through highways and there was even a helicopter. Exile and Phoenix were even better, with some great shots in nightclubs and exteriors in Metropolis.

Also, I didn't like TW's acting that much in this episode. Except for the scene on the street right after he comes out, he was stiff and doing something strange with his eyebrows in the dramatic scenes that I didn't like. I didn't like the pace on the dialogues and some sentences were a bit strange and didn't flow well. But, all in all, I loved this episode.

[ClumsyGRL]

i voted for linda lake cause she's just a bad actresss if we can even call her that!!!
but i wanted to know about jimmy how chloe solved her problem or if he was in metropolis already but nothing... instead of beeig with her husband chloe was once again giving clark unnecessary advices, i love her but, lately i hate the way she's beeing written, especially the whole jimmy's wife stuff.

[borednow]

The main annoying thing for me in Infamous was that again they had Chloe steal Clark's thunder by suggesting the reporter/hero duality in the same way Clark will be doing it. This really pissed me off. Why do they have to make Chloe put all the future Superman ideas in Clark's mind instead of having him learn from trial & error himself? This is one of the main remaining things I wanted to see developed over the remainder of the series, and with 1 f'n damn line, they ruined it all! This really pisses me off.

:mad:

really... at this point I'm thinking she's going to be the one to teach him how to fly too.

"Come on Clark Flap!" :lol: I'd be furious if the image in my head weren't so funny... maybe she can give him a 'Magic Feather.'

[Autumn]

1) The acting was off in this episode with every actor (at least a few lines each were stiff and unnatural), except Sam Witwer who was brilliant in every line and subtle facial expression. Tori Spelling was worse than usual.

2) Clark walking through the streets was cheesy. The guest actors in this scene were just so bad.

3) Chloe talking about watching movies with Jimmy. Can you watch DVD's in hospitals now? And since he hadn't transferred hospitals yet, where were they watching them? Maybe I just haven't been to a hospital in a while. Anyway, I personally don't like to be reminded. This just reiterated one of my biggest gripes with Chimmy (besides their lack of chemistry): they tell more than they show. That is a screenwriting no no.

4) The first scene with Linda. I don't recall them meeting. Plus, the dialogue was atrocious in that scene. Shudders. I had a bad feeling about this episode after that weak opening, thankfully it got better.

5) Clark :"I can't think of a better reporter than you." Um, okay. And then of course both Lois and Clark get promotions in this scenario just for saying he's an alien. I want to see hard work. At least it was reset.

6)Clark destroying the ring. What a waste.

7)Clark driving Lois in the end. What happened to the people he saved?

8) Didn't talk to Martha first about his coming out exclusive, which made her lose her job. Made him seem selfish to me. His coming out just felt rushed.

9) And while I have no annoyances with Davis (so awesome in this episode), I REALLY wanted to see what happened next with Chloe in the car. I was looking forward to that scene and then...cut short. GRRRRRRRRRRRR

10) How did Clark know where to find Linda once it was reset?

11) Oh yeah, and where was Lois the whole time she was gone? With Jimmy??? I don't get it.

[mr lane]

First off, the fact that Clark & Linda acted like they met??? I thought everyone thought she died????
Second, Clark had to know that there would be consequences to revealing himself!
Finally, CLARK!!! WHAT THE HECK!!! WHY'D YOU LEAVE LOIS LIKE THAT!!!!!!!

ooo Alex as a fellow Cloiser im gonna ask if you need some hot coco to soothe your nereves :D

I dont know about everyone but the fact that Linda just turned to a puddle after hitting Lana's car in hydro told me she wasn't dead

and i think Clark was hoping for the best when revealing his secret you know clark he never thinks about the bad consequences his actions might have

even though i wanted clark to walk over to lois at the end in my opinion it was for the best he didnt

hes not ready to committ to her so it wouldn't be fair to lois if hes not ready to give all of himself to her


ok with that said the thing that annoyed me the most was Linda's acting in the scene with her and davis

the whole entire time i was like :eek::confused:

[miks]

Um, out of curiosity, did it annoy when Chloe got upset at Clark wanting to wipe the secret from her brain in Abyss as well?


No. Because it served no purpose to his life or the rest of the world.

[Iluvgreen]

I hardly had any annoyances! Actually it kinda annoyed me that Clark destroyed the ring! But I guess that was a perfectly good decsion after he heard Linda Lake talking about it... he realized that if anyone found it.... what a mess he would be in then. And I was kinda mad that Clois didn't at least hug after Clark told Lois that she was special. It just seemed like a good hug moment...
AND Clark could've waited like two more seconds before going back!!! He could've known about Davis!

[justme_007]

Good one. Was it still raining? Maybe she can fly through the wind using rain drops? :lol:

:lol:

[dreamsofnever]

No. Because it served no purpose to his life or the rest of the world.

Okay, I had to reread this a few times. I think you're saying that Chloe knowing Clark's secret doesn't affect his life or the rest of the world, but Lois knowing does?

The thing with that is... Clark could just as easily have told Lois and not asked her to write the story. That would have prevented the panicked masses and all the chaos that came forth. After all, she knows that Oliver is Green Arrow and has not and will not write a story outing him.

You're entitled to be annoyed by whatever moments annoyed you but in this case, I think there is a double standard in that Lois' response was "I understand." and Chloe's response was to get upset and beg Clark not to take his secret from her. So to say Lois got upset, is I think an incorrect interpretation, particularly if you were to watch and compare the two scenes back to back.

But we can agree to disagree on that point. I was just looking for clarification.

[justme_007]

oh god at first i thought the episode was terrific and epic... but know i read your comments... and i am annoyed too.... with all the incongruences.

I know I wish I wasn't so nitpicky sometimes. (and sometimes I'm not nitpicky. lol)

I still enjoyed the episode, but there were definitely some things to be annoyed about!

[marcella]

Tori Spelling:lol:

Clark destroying the Legion ring and not drinking coffee with Lois

[Deana]

Chloe dropping the hint of a double identity to Clark. Nothing sucks worse then when a writer has their Mary Sue be the brains for an already established hero. She drops hints so all his iconic moments in the future is all thanks to Saint Mary Sue The Wise. It sucks and is a mistake that I thought only young fan fiction writers made but then I watched Smallville.

Linda Lake defying some of the laws of H2O was kind of annoying too. Did she travel so fast between Metropolis and Smallville as water vapor or what?

[susangail]

Four checks:

Clark destroys the Legion ring after it saves his butt. Clark didn't leave it in plain sight. Why would Linda Lake (or anyone else) know what it was? Or does he not trust himself?

They're turning Doomsday into Hulk. That's been done already.

Yeah, Lois, you're so special - see ya! Honestly, that made no sense to me.

Clark not bothering to go for coffee with a coworker. If he wanted to cool it off, he should have responded to Lois's request at face value. All he had to do was sip.

[MetroGirl06]

Linda Lake's hurrendous make-up. :eek:

Clark standing Lois up. Can't you just go and have some friggin' coffee?? Jeez. That was kinda of.. Mean of him

Clark dstroying the ring. HELLO! If you're going to use it for something as minor as revealing your secret, what if one day the whole freaking world is about to blow up or some crap! Then you'd really be wishing you could go back in time to stop yourself from destroying the ring! Not to mention he did it while Lois was talking. Rude.

[The Dark Knight74]

Clark intentionally outing himself and thinking the consequences wouldn't be as bad as they were.

[superkgirl]

Tori Spelling.......terrible! And that last scene between her and Davis

Release the beast?:eek:

Are you serious!? And I didn't know the Hulk was supposed to be on Smallville now....:rolleyes:
I still shudder thinking about it, the only good thing about that scene between Davis/DD and Linda Lake was that he killed her....

[xrayvision]

I think that was the dumbest line from Linda Lake. Did she really expect to survive if Doomsday fully transformed? He would have torn her to shreds. Her death was far less painful.

[workshyslacker]

Wow... so many truly annoying moments and so little time! ;)

I think I will pick the one that just topped the rest for me, and yes, even the (no) coffee meeting scene. Okay, Clarkie, what did you mean by "special"? "Special" as in you're "special" but I can't be bothered to tell you my secret, but my exgf and my best friend know? Or "special" as in the "it's not you it's me" convo that gets trotted out after a relationship goes bust? It's just too ambiguous. After Lois has poured her heart out and STILL cares about him even though he's from another planet, that's all he can articulate when he KNOWS Lois won't remember so there will be no repercussions in laying his heart bare?

C'mon, Clark, a little clarity here, please. If there was ever a moment to be honest, this was it.

At least Tori Spelling was so bad she was good :rotfl:

[smilingalways2]

Hi all. Although I was happier with the episode than I've been with the previous ones. I totally agree with Workshyslacker.

Another thing (I don't know if it was just me) when I was watching him tell Lois she was special, it seemed to me like he had a subtle grin. I was disappointed because, to me, it played down the sentiment he tried to convey. I wish the director would’ve had him do it over again. It would’ve been nice if he had been just as dead serious as Lois.

I don't know if anyone else noticed. My sister said she didn't.

[unex||den||adel]

^ yeah, chloe should got the expose... she's keeping his secret for years, at least, make her do the honor.. she's a descent reporter afterall...

She can turn back on him , make clark's story her own grand byline, but she keep below sea level, just ecause clark is her BFF. Least u can do, BDA, give her write abt u..

[yedda]

I was a little confused when Clark acted as through he had met Linda Lake before. However, I chose to see it as him having knowledge of what went down with her before. Also, the probability that he would know what she looked like, both because she seems like the type of reporter who would want her picture beside her name in print (despite her horse face), and because he would probably come across her face in some file after wanting to know more about an enemy.

The biggest annoying factor for me was the moment where he could have known about Davis being Doomsday. Not because he put on the ring so soon, but because Lois' line was ridiculously drawn out. This is a vital piece of info, and she's all like, "Clark, huff huff, Chloe just called, huff huff, you're not going to believe this, huff huff, but Davis is..."

I would think a piece of info like the identity of a homicidal super powered freak who is probably about to kill your cousin and is definitely on his way to kill the guy you're in love with would warrant a slightly more urgent and far less wordy warning. Especially since Chloe sounded very panicky when she left that message.

On that topic, I also disliked the scene where Chloe discovers who Davis really is. "I was sent to this planet to kill Clark." "You stay away from him". That was the first of several very cliched lines in this scene, the least of which was not, "Davis, your eyes!". I was half expecting Davis to say, "all the better to see you with, my dear." Though I do get a certain thrill every time someone who is about to become a homicidal freak tells their prey to "Run!".

Oh, yes, Spelling is a nightmare, but I think the part where Linda talks about rings meaning happily-ever-after should be blamed entirely on the writers. What the heck was that?

HEy, Caroline Dries got some of her punch lines, eiyh..?

like this:

"Am i losing you?":D

boy, that was soo precious moment..

[yedda]

Yes, I did love the scene in the trees with Chloe and Clark. It was very sweet.

[unex||den||adel]

lol at the last option.

[hero`s passion]

1. Clark saying "Lois you are spesial" and then "Gotta go!"...it should be a kiss or at least a hug here...

2. Clark didn`t even listen when Lois said about Doomsday... I mean WHY?...I can`t get it...

3. people trusted everything in the newspaper without any proves and trust Linda`s interview...just Linda who???...very strange

also WHY Davis comes to Chloe if he knows that he is going to became Doomsday in a minute????
and then: Run!!! very clever,Davis!!! why Chloe calls him Doomsday??? who named him that in SV?

there was many stupid moments, but I honestly like this epi very much...I`m strange...:))))

Another thing (I don't know if it was just me) when I was watching him tell Lois she was special, it seemed to me like he had a subtle grin. I was disappointed because, to me, it played down the sentiment he tried to convey. I wish the director would’ve had him do it over again. It would’ve been nice if he had been just as dead serious as Lois.

I don't know if anyone else noticed. My sister said she didn't.

Welcome!

I don't remember seeing him smile, and I think part of his face was in darkness so I'm not sure. However, I wish Clark had sounded more convincing when he said she was special, that's if he meant it as in a "I really care for you" way.:\

One of the annoying moments for me is when Chloe goes to the farm to look through Clark's DVD collection. What DVD collection? Clark never even listens to the radio much less watches TV or DVD's. It reminds me of Legion when we see all those pictures of him and Lana that we never saw before and most likely will never see again. They just make stuff up as they go along.

But still, I do wonder what movies he has in his supposed DVD collection. Maybe Ironman, Batman Begins and other superhero movies that can help him learn to be a proper superhero:lol:.

I bet he hates Popeye:lol:

And especially spinage:rotfl:

Although by the way Clark's been acting lately I think he's been watching Iron Man a little too much because Iron Man sure ain't no role model for a superhero!

Ah well, I guess it's not "Superman: the Movie", or "Lois and Clark the New Adventures of Superman" or.. "Doomsday".. wait there's a connection here I know it..

:lol:

[Sunny8]

Could you imagine Clark making comments on some of these:

Superman: the Movie-"Hey, that's a good idea...dual identity...glasses...a super hero costume...flying...maybe I'll try some of these."


LnC TNAoS-Clark and Lois are watching this together and Clark says: "Boy, wish I had a woman like that Lois. Wait a minute..." he looks at Lois and a light bulb goes off in his head.

Lois looks at him like she thinks he is the BDA and rolls her eyes.

I wouldn't want to see his face though when he watches Superman III especially after he sees who Lana looks like!:lol::eek:

[Mindylynne]

Clark using the ring so quickly was annoying. Seriously, Lois was mid sentence. He couldn't let her finish.

Actually, I wish Erica’s Lois had her Clark as awesome as Dean’s Clark…….no such luck for her. Poor Lois…

[BULLITT]

Clark not being bothered to go out for a coffee with the reporter he works with!
and
Torri Spelling can't act!!!

[EternalTwilight]

Any moment involving Linda Lake was annoying. Also, Clark destroying the ring. I'm sure he'll regret that one.

he did have dvd's. remember Sneeze..? his mom bought him ... aww..how cute...

Yes, maybe then he'll pull his thumb out! And I think DC was faced with a Lois/Lana choice too, albeit in an AU, and he chose Lois, right? (My memory fails me :o).


I wouldn't want to see his face though when he watches Superman III especially after he sees who Lana looks like!:lol::eek:

Gosh, I hadn't thought of that. Let's not add in an Oedipal one to his guilt complexes too!:eek: That poor tennis ball will be worn out!


:lol:

Right now I would take CR or DC's versions of CK. In the first one, CK was an act and CR was really good as Superman (so not really a wuss at all!), and secondly, DC was so sweet but man enough to take Lois on. ;)

[blackcelebration]

No wonder Clark has a child like obsession over Lana... just like a baby has to its Mother :eek::D

[Night_Hawk90]

i dont know if this classifies as annoying but how in God's name did lois get knocked on unconscious after getting hit in the back(not the head) with a piece of wood?

[doodie8808]

Every time a clark shot came up it just seemed that throughout the eppy he just got more and more stupid! Especally with the ring forget the clois plot i love lois but seriously this takes the cake!i hate chloe and begged for her to take the rest of his screen by 8;30!

[alejandrita439]

ok, we saw the barn but we didnt see shelby :(

[Big O]

... the Clois reveal/interview segment. It cuts from Clark saying "I need to tell you where I am from" to showing the news article headline. I wanted to see more of an in-depth conversation face to face, and I wanted Clark to show Lois his powers.

I think the reason we didnt see an in depth conversation between CK & LL...was because of the time reversal thing...Lois was not going to remember any of it .....so to show an in -depth convo between CK & LL..would have been pretty pointless.

This was just a "practice run"....giving us a small taste...of things to come later when CK reveals his secret ...for real this time to Lois!

[Supsfan]

it was less pointless to see how she reacts to everything since Clark would remember though then the entire Chloe-Davis scenes in that eppy that nobody remembers.

He was smiling for sure, but I think it`s because he was glad to tell her she is special... but I don`t like Tom`s acting in the barn scene...the end scene was played much better by him..Erica was perfect as always:)))))


and what I`m wondering Why everybody say that Tori Spelling act bad, I mean all of us just hate her, I think it`s supposed to be like that, because LL not pretty and kind fairy, she is an ugly b**ch, so I guess it was rather good choice to give her this role...IMO:))))

We all know that he has a video of Lana breaking up with him. Although, who really would want to see that again?

I do find TS acting annoying and found it hard to watch her. All of the points mentioned were all things that were a bit bothersome, but TS has always annoyed me.

[LoveHurts38]

OMG!! MOM:eek:

[Sunny8]

Maybe Chloe can show Jimmy Lana's 'Dear John' tape over and over. He probably would like that since he wants Lois and Clark to be together;).

[princessdiana]

She can save time and money and say "hey Jimmy, what Lana said, laters"

[Clana Kent]

You used to put Lana in almost every option, why don't you put Lois in it now?
I thought she was VERY whiny in that scene with Clark at the barn. It was one of the worst Lois scenes for me...

[Clana Kent]

The fact that Lana was barely mentioned after that heartbreaking breakup in Requiem...

I wished Clark would've talked about it more :(

[Ritza]

Tori was annoying and I would have liked to see a Lana mention too! :)

[Clana Kent]

With other words, the following option should've really been in the poll:

Lana not appearing or mentioned!

[SGuthrie27]

The most annoying thing for me about this episode was not even included on this list, and it was the fact that Lois was most obviously about to tell Clark something incredibly important (about Chloe's discovery that Davis is Doomsday, the Kryptonian monster who's meant to destroy him), and Clark slips on his ring before she can even finish her sentence! That is, for me, quite possibly THE STUPIDEST MOMENT OF SEASON 8!!!!!!! ARGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

A close runner up would be the destruction of the ring. I understand it, and I'm glad Clark's not wanting to play God, but still, people, come ON! Did he NOT think that could possibly prove useful later?! So silly... Rokk had to come back and bring him another one to try to save his alien butt, and he so intelligently stores it in a little box in his desk at the Daily Planet... with no lock on it... in easy access to anyone that can open a desk drawer. WHAT?! Where does Clark come up with his crazy hiding places?!?

And yes, Tori Spelling is not my cup of tea when it comes to "acting," but re-watches of this episode have made me enjoy her as this character more. I think her portrayal of Linda Lake has its intended effect. We're SUPPOSED to dislike and be annoyed and irritated by her, and that's what she pulls off. So, who cares? ;)

Finally, even though I wasn't terribly sad that Lana left Smallville, I agree with Clana Kent that it was incredibly weird that no one mentioned her departure in the entire episode, and that it took four more episodes for them to finally make reference to her continued existence in the Smallville universe... Weird!

But nothing, I repeat, NOTHING... can beat the unbelievable STUPIDITY of Clark jumping back in time before being warned about Doomsday! If he'd done that, Chloe probably wouldn't have run off with Davis, Jimmy would've probably not been killed, and the Justice League could've most likely come up with some strategy of stopping the threat of Doomsday without all the angst, carnage, retcons, and contrived storylines that happened towards the end of this season.

All that being said, I really loved "Infamous," and have enjoyed Season 8 in general. :D

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

Smallville's like a relative when you get down to it... You love it no matter how retarded it gets.
