How did YOU want "Infamous" to end?

[superman07]

alright, i know i can't be the only one who wanted to smash clark's head in after that final scene. just sit down and have coffee with Lois! if you feel the same way or different let us know why. great episode but sad and stupid clark ending

[ZODisGOD]

I don't get what's the big deal about coffee.

[Alexander III]

MAN UP bucko! I'm referring to Clark, you're gonna let the lady out there all alone w/ her sad broken heart waiting. Tsk tsk tsk, class act, farmboy.

[davidbrenton]

I loved the ending. I couldn't be happier. It was the perfect "build up" episode to this relationship. They are nailing it, and I honestly am patient enough (And secure enough with knowledge of S9) that they are going to fulfill every hope I've got for the show.

[zorasuperman]

he should have had coffee

[WildGoatTamer]

Dude he should have just had coffee! I hate when people ignore eachother because they like them! X( This episode just bugged me so much about how Clark or Lois wouldn't just hurry up and tell eachother thier feelings! And I don't even like Clois that much!

[dru-zod2501]

go have coffee with her jeez it's not a wedding engagement, and she knows you're too uptight to do anything more with her. Enjoy her before you lose her.

[dunkman]

There's not much risk in just having some coffee & talking about her trip. Get decaf if you're afraid it'll keep you up all night--but Clark probably isn't affected by caffeine. Where DID she go for all that time, anyway? Was she hanging out with Jimmy? I suppose she'd been working at the Planet long enough to get some personal time, but Clark would still be on probation.

[Supsfan]

I don't get what's the big deal about coffee.

This is Clark we are talking about and even worse Clark on a TV network that gears itself towards teenage females, so everything has to be full of angst

[davidbrenton]

There's not much risk in just having some coffee & talking about her trip.

I disagree. Especially if Clark is trying to push down STRONG feelings for her.

It says MORE ABOUT CLARK'S FEELINGS than if he actually showed.

[Alexander III]

Hey BTW guys, coffee/lois/clark is somewhat a resemblance of Talon/lana/clark. That scene was a pretty good metaphor.

[skugers]

I disagree. Especially if Clark is trying to push down STRONG feelings for her.

It says MORE ABOUT CLARK'S FEELINGS than if he actually showed.
I feel the same way, David. it's quite the opposite. He showed up, he watched her like he wanted to reach for her but just couldn't do it. He is longing for her but still has some issues. I understand.

[krpto]

I wanted lois to try and kiss clark at least once before he rewond time Let lois kiss clark in the barn goodbye linda attacks lois drops he phone clark gets the ring back and puts it on goes back defeats linda finds a way to contact the kid from blank he erases lindas memory of clark secret not knowing she knows about doomsday davis goes into see linda she knows about doomsday burt not about clark want freed he tells her she killed people and he cannot lets her go she says she knows what he is doomsday takes over and kills her. We get a clois kiss that never happened because time was rewound we get clark smartly stopping linda lake and not having to worry about her exposing him anymore and we gets davis turning into doomsday and killing linda still.

then have clark still show up for coffee with lois but not let her know hes there the audience knows he in embracing his feeling for her but he doesn't admit it.

[skylar]

He should have had coffee with her and not just leaving her hanging.

[susangail]

He should have had coffee with her. Instead, he hurt her, so now she thinks he doesn't care. I don't see a buildup; I see a cruel takedown.

[dsfjr1190]

Clark is the has got to be the most idiotic person on the planet to turn Lois down now. Especially after what he did to her, forgetting about her the second Lana shows up. More and more I am of the opinion that this Clark Kent is not good enough for Lois Lane.

[Ginx]

I think he should have had coffee with Lois. It's just coffee then he could have left shortly after if he felt uncomfy. But being there and then bailing was lame.

[Dyanara]

A) Lois should never have invited him for coffee in the first place
B) Clark sees her talking to another guy

[clois-destiny-forever]

Coffee would have been nice. I understand why not, but my heart is still breaking for them.

[Lilah]

It worked the way it was.

[thehenry89]

I liked the ending it was a perfect set up for the later part of the season.

[petewillreturn]

The more I think of it the more I like the ending. It is a great set up for what is to come. I like to see it that he doesn’t want to start anything, because he just might confess everything to her, and he just cannot risk that.

[latingirl]

A) Lois should never have invited him for coffee in the first place
B) Clark sees her talking to another guy

I am not agree with, she is a fighter, she must to facing the unfinished situation with Clark. Maybe she is going to move on from him. Plus he is not ready to have this conversation and before to say some IDIOT thing and ruin completely his relation with Lois, he took the option to be in the shadows

[SnowBird]

This meeting for coffee was more than that for Lois. She was opening the door for her and Clark to get closer. Clark knew this and made the decision to slow down on the feelings they have for each other. He just came off a breakup and so made a wise decision.....I have been reading different posts for weeks how they didn't want Lois to be a rebound girl. Now I see that people are upset that Clark didn't meet Lois for coffee to pursue their relationship. It can't be both ways. Clark is smart to have more time for him to heal before he gets into another relationship.

[Dyanara]

I dont want Lois to be a rebound girl and I dont want Lois to invite him to coffee. I dont want Lois to want this immature little boy!

[Supsfan]

I rather they spend an extra minute or 2 talking in the barn before Clark reversed time, he could have let us in on his feelings a bit more and the final scene could have been Clark picking her up on time and them at the DP.

Time time used for the coffee scene would then be deleted for the Barn talk.

[Alicia Chipy]

It was just a simple coffee klatch.
When it comes to relationships,Mr. Kent better wake up and smell the coffee.

[Imzadia]

People! PLEASE! I came to the forum hoping that I could read Something about "Infamous" that would make me feel Better! I am Soooo SAD! :( I want you guys to see me as that 'crying emoticon with the tears just squirting Big tears' like Waahh!! For the first time in several years, I only got to watch the last half of this New episode, which translates into 20 maybe 21 minutes. I had an important errand to run and returned home too late to see the first half, but what I saw convinced me that this Was an Awesome story. I felt confident that I would be able to watch it from the beginning since I'd set my DVR to record it, as usual, but when I tried to watch it, it wasn't there! :eek: Some Major Malfunction!!!

So, please, can anyone tell me about some Clois 'goodness' that I missed? I really got a charge out of watching Lois beat Linda Lake Silly. Lois really took the 'fight' to her, and Vanquished the vile creature. :D Since I was already Sad about missing the first half of this new episode, the ending Really made me sadder. So, I thought that Clark Should Have, at least, have coffee with Lois if only to smooth out the edginess that has tainted their friendship. He OWED her an apology for 'neglecting' their friendship if nothing more. :\

I'd hoped that he would've thought their friendship was worth repairing the 'rift' that has Rightfully come between them that wasn't made any smaller by him being late to pick her up. I know that much by the Spoilers. ;) The scene they shared in the barn should've made it clear to Clark that Lois feels that he doesn't 'value' her the same way he 'values' LANA or Chloe. He understood it then and told her that he truly Did think that she was 'Special', so I wanted him to, at least, divulge that much, gently, casually over coffee together. It would've been a 'Salve' for her Hurt Feelings. He didn't have to profess any 'romantic' feelings this soon, and he certainly didn't have to reveal or share his 'secret' after the events that happened in this episode, but he Owed her some type of consolation, IMHO. So, those of you who feel that the final scene was 'Good', please, help me to understand Why you feel that way. Maybe I'll agree and see it, too. I missed so much of the Clois scenes in the first half, and I really missed Lois so much. I'm so disappointed.

[Mod Edit]

[borednow]

Coffee would have been nice. I understand why not, but my heart is still breaking for them.

I agree.

[AgentChaos]

Other- the scene with Davis killing Linda Lake should have been last.

[Iluvgreen]

As much as I wanted Clark to have coffee with Lois.... I just loved the ending!! Now Clark can get over Lana, and season 9 will be total CLOIS!!!!!!!!!:D

[svtwamedfan05]

He could have atleast had coffee with the woman but I understand why the ending ended the way it did

[Cage]

I loved the ending. I couldn't be happier. It was the perfect "build up" episode to this relationship. They are nailing it, and I honestly am patient enough (And secure enough with knowledge of S9) that they are going to fulfill every hope I've got for the show.

Unfortunately, I wanted Clark to swoop in, pick up Lois, take her to her apartment and not come out until next week.

Now what should have been is - dare I say - what happened. I don't have your patients but have to agree with your inteligence:(

[Hopefulsuicide]

I loved it exactly as it was. They were both totally in character, and of course he isn't going to confess his feelings yet... we still got another season or more after this :)

[Tompouce]

I feel the same way, David. it's quite the opposite. He showed up, he watched her like he wanted to reach for her but just couldn't do it. He is longing for her but still has some issues. I understand.
Yes and look at him when he receives the sms from Lois, he seems hurt to see she lies to him. As if it was not the answer he wants to have. And after that, he seems to understand, this is so Lois after all, and then he looks so sad for both of them. I like SO MUCH the way Tom is playing this scene:p

----- Added 58 Seconds later -----

So sorry, to answer the question, it was perfect. One of the best end for an episode from SV. I think I just can watch it again and again and...

[DGirlLois4Clark]

Doesnt this remind you guys of Lois' comment to Clark in Oracle? The infamous Piggy Bank conversation;)

Clark needs to tuck his feelings until everything is clear. I have confidence:D

[SuperJ77]

I think it should have ended with him sitting there and lois blowing him off

[FlashInSV]

Although my deepest desire was Clark to have had coffee with her, I know it's too soon. So I think the ending was the greatest they could have come up with.

[Bizarrolover]

I liked it, I wouldn't change a thing about it. Clark's not ready.

[SupermanRox]

Clark should have had a cup of coffee with Lois. Geez, it was just a cup of coffee. It isn't like she was asking him to skip put to Vegas and get married.

[House of Brock]

I think they could have improved the ending of this episode in this way:

Clark is there watching and he does send his text message and Lois reciprocates. However, Clark hears a scream or a cry for help and he blurs away and Lois catches the blur moving by..... heightening her curiosity and interest.

Thoughts?

[LoveHurts38]

The ending was fine.

[skugers]

It was perfect the way things turned out to be.
Karine, you completed perfectly what I said earlier. He's clearly hurt but I think in addition to that he knows she lies to him because she is hurt. She poses in indifference but he knows her better.

[gardy1]

I just had to weigh in on this episode which was one of my favs of the year as a devoted CLois fan, I would have put Clark and Lois together for a coffee, to discuss their mixed feelings.

Since they were going to 'reverse time' anyway, I would agree with Supsfan, Lois and Clark could've spent a few more minutes talking in the barn. I would've had Lois confess her love for him and end the scene with a big wet sloppy kiss, then revert back in time.

I would've ended the show with Davis killing Linda Lake. Frankly, i'm glad to see her go.
That's all okay, because we have Season 9 to look forward to, and i'm expecting a big CLois season.

[LoveHurts38]

Am I reading this right:eek:

[Eeyore840]

It should have ended with Dooms killing Linda Lake. The Clois angst was unnecessary.

[Autumn]

It should have ended with Dooms killing Linda Lake. The Clois angst was unnecessary.

Yeah, I agree. Maybe if they placed the scene before Davis. Anyway, I just thought ending with Davis killing Linda would have been the perfect end. The whole Clois thing felt too rushed anyway after Lana just barely left town. Hopefully, this will end Lois' pining and she can concentrate on the Red-blue-blur and become more fascinated with him than Clark. I like that Lois better personally.

[Dazzlex]

Argh!! This was such a depressing final scene. What on earth was going through Clark's mind?? Lois was practically throwing herself at him, and he completely ignored her. He needs to stop taking her for granted, she's not a toy!

[Eeyore840]

Argh!! This was such a depressing final scene. What on earth was going through Clark's mind?? Lois was practically throwing herself at him, and he completely ignored her. He needs to stop taking her for granted, she's not a toy!


But after how he behaved with Lana in Lois' absence, I don't want Lois and Clark involved yet. Clark needs to grow up first.

[F..l]

he should have had coffee with lois !!
this would be great ending for me :) ...

[Autumn]

But after how he behaved with Lana in Lois' absence, I don't want Lois and Clark involved yet. Clark needs to grow up first.

Agreed. Clark isn't ready for another relationship at this point in time.

[Big O]

The more I think of it the more I like the ending. It is a great set up for what is to come. I like to see it that he doesn’t want to start anything, because he just might confess everything to her, and he just cannot risk that.

Thats it...he doesnt want to tell Lois....because CK has said many times..everybody who knows his secret...gets put in grave danger...and he cares so much for Lois...he doesnt want to do anything to put her at risk.

----- Added 22 Minutes later -----


Other- the scene with Davis killing Linda Lake should have been last.

The show ended perfectly.....because it got people talking.....whether they enjoyed the ending.....as I did..or didnt like it.

Davis killing Lake...was not surprising or super dramatic....we have already seen him killing plenty of people before....but...how often have we seen....CK standing up LL......on a coffee date?

Besides... we all knew...Davis was not going to do allow Lake to reveal his secret to the world..so..she was a walking..or...shackled dead wading pool.....soon as she told him that!

This being TV... the producers of SV are going to put Clois fans thru a roller coaster ride of emotions.....and thats cool..cos thats how things work on TV....

I dont mind that CK & LL are not an item ...yet....I just love seeing TW & ED...act together whether its an emotional..comedic or action scene...cos they have such great chemistry....and its going to be fun..just to see what happens between CK & LL in Season 9.

[Sunny8]

I wanted it to end with Clark having coffee with Lois like a mature adult so that they could discuss what happened between them in the Bride episode. He could have told her then that he had feelings for her and that he thought that she might have feelings for him, but he was not ready to have a relationship yet. She then could have told him what her intentions were and if she was willing to wait or if she was going to move on so that they could just remain friends. He at least gave Chloe that much in the season 4 Devoted episode. He showed more maturity at that time then he did here and he was just a high school boy.

[rebecavaldez]

I would have loved to hear a convo with Lois about feelings, but since I guess the writers aren't putting them together, I liked how it worked. Very sad, but in a good way cause you know she loves him.

[zorasuperman]

IMO Clark turned Lois down because he knows he couldn't control himself if he went with Lois. Going with Lois meant that he would be reciprocating, and a relationship would have started. Which is exactly what Clark doesn't want. But not because he doesn't have feelings for Lois; but it is because of his strong feelings for her, (and to quote CK himself " it is because she is special") that he can't risk to put her in danger. He doesn't want another heart to be broken, yet again, to be put in jeopardy, because of his him, his secret, and all that being in a relationship entitles being with Clark Kent.

Chloe's comment of Clark being the Red & Blue Blur as a way of him being able ot have the best of both worlds, kind of got me thinking that is how the PS3 would be taking on the new angle. Of course, the Red and Blue Blur would go around saving people, and of course one of those people would include Lois Lane. Lois would fall more in love with this hero (her comment in Season 6 Crimson where she wonders why she always falls in love with "heroes"; i.e. Oliver Queen = Green Arrow). This way with Clark being the Red and Blue Blur, he has even more of an incentive of saving people, but also of being with Ms Lois Lane. Of which it would very interesting to see this; the whole Superman angle of Clark being his own competition.

[marcella]

My rational side says that the way it worked was good, but my Clois side says that at least should have drink coffe with Lois

[Demien]

clark should have had coffee with Lois!!! this ending would be fine....no feelings,no nothing just a coffee

[Jack-El49]

clark should have had coffee with Lois!!! this ending would be fine....no feelings,no nothing just a coffee

Agreed. Having coffee did not mean that he had to confess or say anything more than what he felt at the time. If he felt strongly enough to go there, he should have followed through. I friggin' hate that he doesn't have the guts to follow through. He didn't have to sit down and end up sucking face or slobber all over himself. If he's not sure of how he feels, he could say that to her. Leaving her sitting there, crushed, was no different IMO than stopping the kiss in Bride. Everyone hated him for that, I don't understand how this is okay?

Having the coffee with her says he's interested in a relationship with her, which he clearly is. He's just unsure what kind of relationship he wants. To text her from across the street is about as gutless as doing it from the barn.

She clearly wanted to discuss what happened/almost happened at the wedding. Now, it's going to be a big reboot because tptb aren't smart enough to write a mature relationship and keep it interesting. They have to go the route of the angsty triangle with Lois chasing the RBB, ignoring Clark, and Clark trying to catch Lois' attention without telling her he is the RBB. Unless they hand-jam the whole thing by the end of the season, then this is what we're going to see next season - most if not all of it.

It's not what I had hoped tptb would show. I would have been much more comfortable with a Clark that realizes how HE screwed up and rather than leave Lois sitting by herself, slowly build the relationship by going to her and telling her that she's special but he needs to take it slow.

[zick]

i loved the ending just as it is :)

[Blue85]

He should have had coffee. Why not? As I was watching, I also thought this episode could have used the kid from Blank.

[wolverine316]

He shouldn't have had coffee with Lois because she would read wayyyyy to much into it than she should. The girl is head over heels in love with the man.

[MsCali4Eva]

Having "coffee" with Lois (unless Clark is allergic to caffeine too) would have put me at ease. He wouldn't have to express any "feelings" or "secrets" and he wouldn't have to be "deep" about the get-together. He could keep it "light" (maybe he is incapable of doing this) and as friends (if that's a term that can even be used between them anymore). No kissing or anything like that. He wouldn't even had to have stayed very long. It could've been for a few minutes, then he could've used one of he famous excuses as to why he couldn't stay. Just accept her invitation Clark, and stop playing hide-N-seek like a little kid!!!! Showing up is better than not showing up at all!!!! That's all I'm saying.

At this point I'm thinking Lois should fiend for herself and leave Clark to his Red and Blue Blurisms looking confused. She has put herself emotionally out there one too many times this season for Clark. And Clark has just stomped on her. Forget him.

[Billy Jor-El]

They're creating more sexual tension than a 20 year old guy's first week in prison......

I wanted them to have coffee, but they are both afraid of each other to some respect; or afraid of their feelings. Clark stnads watching her and texting he can't make it, and Lois, between the near-tears, has to remain strong and unfeeling...she "couldn't make it anyway." Well it lets PS3 drag this out well into S9......

[usul]

I disagree. Especially if Clark is trying to push down STRONG feelings for her.

It says MORE ABOUT CLARK'S FEELINGS than if he actually showed.


Words are very powerful; it's an important part of what separated human from ape. Let's not be afraid to use it to "emphasize" important moments in a relationship. Your failing PTB, you wussed out. TW and ED could have handled it, you apparently could not. ----------- moment missed-------------trust your audience.

[jpfort1957]

I would have liked Clark to find out that Davis is Doomsday before he went back.

[Alania]

Clark should have had coffee with Lois. They are grown ups, they could have talked without starting anything romantic, just being honest with eachother, something that Lois and Clark have as a strong point. Talking is essential, not talking, just generates angst. Now Clark will suffer in double: bad breakup and hurt someone he cares about
