Are they setting this up for a triangle romance between Clark/Lois/RBB? [Archive]

And we shall call it CRLois?

SuperClois, that is what that triangle has always been called. I know I sure as heck am not going to call it RBBClois. Man I hate that moniker. Time for an upgrade.

I think they might be setting it up for that, but not a real heavy triangle. More like Lois having a bit of a crush on the Blur *Grrr even saying that anymore makes me irritated* and Clark struggling with developing feelings for Lois and maybe letting his guard down when in his other 'persona' because he just can't help it.

That's just me speculating though, but I think that this episode didn't really suggest that too much, though I do think it explains why Lois might be closed off to Clark in the future. How many times can you extend the olive branch? Just like Clark has been hurt and is insecure about it, so is Lois.

Well if you read the spoilers for Stiletto, I think we're certainly headed that way.

I agree

Please, let them come up with a better name than "Red-Blue-Blur"! It doesn't have to be Superman yet, but RBB is just dumb!

I totally agree! Here here.

Who came up with that? (not on the show itself, I mean the writers who did)

The Good Samaritan was a lot better. Not perfect by a long shot, but better.

Why can't they call him Superman anyway? I mean when he comes out of the Superhero closet, that is? Is that another of those annoying so-called 'restrictions'?

Lois should become what she historically is. Romantically dead and oblivious to Clark's infatuation.

It certainly seemed like that was what Chloe was suggesting.

eas

03-12-2009, 08:35 PM

Yeah, that's what it looks like.

Seems like Lois will shut the door on Clois. Clark will fall for Lois, but by the time he figures it out, Lois will have already moved on to the RBB.

petewillreturn

03-12-2009, 08:45 PM

Yes. Lois isn’t the type to sit around and whine. I think she will feel that Clark isn’t interested and move on, and it will be the blue blur.

03-12-2009, 08:45 PM

Yeah, that's what it looks like.

I want Lois to forget about Clark and focus on her career.

The irony of Clark competeing with himself though is not lost on me.

Of course. Lois' infatuation begins in Stilleto.

I'm sure that Clark will regret not crossing the street to meet Lois when he realizes what problems this will bring and the jealousy he will feel of ... himself.:lol:

Let's hope so!

Oh, I'm pretty much expecting it. Of course, I tend to go to the spoiler area but even if I didn't I would think this is what is going to happen. It's one of the most fun aspects of the Lois and Clark relationship before they get together.:)

superspider02

03-12-2009, 09:47 PM

Yea i think that is likely what the plan will be with clark/lois and clark's hero identity. I too wonder why the whole good samaritan name they had pre identity got dropped.

Serves him right, too!

Ditto! It's going to be super cool! Like Lois going ga ga over RBB and Clark rolling his eyes ever 2.3 seconds because of it... CLASSIC.

03-13-2009, 07:07 AM

Now that I've had a night to sleep on it:p...I think TPTB are setting up the Lois/Clark/RBB triangle...and truthfully, I'm good with it!

I've screamed for weeks that TPTB should stick w/ mythology...seems they're going to do just that.
HOWEVER:lol:, I'm afraid what they're also going to do is make that iconic triangle more angsty, and that SUCKS! We've had ENOUGH angst on this show!:rolleyes:

The iconic triangle of Lois/Clark/Superman (or in this case, RBB) was always lighthearted and fun. Leave it to these idiots to make it full of angst, pining, and heartache. Dang!

BINGO! This is exactly what the creative minds of PS or PS3 have come up with - the same story line that's been told for the last 70 years. It's so disappointing to me that this IS the way they are going that I don't know if I can stomach Season 9.

If they were going to break with the mythos by bringing in Lois, they should have had the nerve to keep this original. Frankly, I hate the triangle because it makes Lois (and others) look like a dumbass all the time and it's just an excuse for a bunch of angsty moments and the famous, "you can't tell that's Superman?" questions that we've seen the last 70 years.

If Lois walls off Clark, like we know she will and they leave it that way for a large part of Season 9 or all of Season 9 until the finale, it's going to be nothing special and I am afraid I just can't watch that same old BS again.

I'm sure Lois knows that the blur is a flesh and blood person. She must if she expects to get an interview from him.

I would prefer not to see a triangle romance just because it will drive me crazy lol

melissan02

03-13-2009, 07:18 AM

The execution of this potential love triangle will have to be perfect in order for me to like it. To be honest, I find Lois falling in love with a blur to be laughable. Unless there is some solid interaction between the red/blue blur and Lois, it's going to be hard for me to buy into this romance like I would with Superman and Lois.

I'm trying to keep in mind though that for weeks I've screamed that TPTB should stick w/ the mythos in regards to Clois. Seems that's the route they're going.

I agree w/ you however that it does seems laughable that Lois "falls" for a faceless hero.:rolleyes:
So, glad they're going the mythos route, but disappointed they'll make it more angsty...and we all know they will!
The classic, iconic triangle of Lois/Clark/Superman was always lighthearted and fun...that's NOT what we'll have on Smallville.
Guess this is going to be a classic case of having to take the good with the bad.:\

I hope so.

I don’t mind the love triangle, since that is usually part of the whole Lois & Clark story. I know it is silly, but I think many of us just accept it as love being blind. Lois is going to want to move on since she feels that Clark doesn’t think she is special. The Blue Blur will make her feel special, and that is something Lois needs.

celita

03-13-2009, 03:04 PM

Well I don't think that she will "in love" with the blur as in "oh my god he is so hot, I can't chose what I like the most, the red part or the blue one". I think she'll focus in her crusade to find him to forget about Clark and will get fascinated because of the blur's heroism. She will love the idea of this person, how he does thinks... Besides, the blur saved her twice in Identity and maybe somehow she will realize that the blur cares about her, thas she is special to him, that is what Lois needs, so she'll have a little crush and fascination for him.

It won't be exactly falling in love, is more like an infatuation for this misterious and powerful being. Since she can't know him in person like Lois knows Superman in the comics, it's this amazedness at him, the determination to unveil it that will drive her, keep her occuppied and not thinking a lot about Clark. And i am just loving it, this blur in the middle of them, preventing Lois from getting hurt again! :cool:

Alania, the question is will you be loving it when Clark IS ready to commit himself, tries to show it and Lois blows him off? Cause that is what will happen. And we'll have an angsty, depressed Clark again who can't get someone being himself; only being someone with special abilities.

Jack! TBH, i kinda lost the excitement on ships, the way they are handling Lois and Clark is not perfectly ok for me. But, to answer you, Lois won't blow him off, she's completely in love, for the man he is, and that won't change. She will just be on "stand by" mode now, till Clark shows he's ready to committ. But, it will take a long time now and i am happy for it, cause we get to see more of him and Lois as individuals, they both need that.

I know I will. He could have had her being himself, he decided not to. She loves Clark Kent, she can't make it any clearer.

But he's blind and can't see the best thing that will ever happen to him.

So boo hoo Clark. Suck it up. As the song over the final scene warned, careful what you wish for....

Agreed! I thought i was the only one who caught that with the song! "Be careful for what u wish for". Screaming both of them:( But i do love those endings with songs!

Lois should become what she historically is. Romantically dead and oblivious to Clark's infatuation.

Indeed, remember, Clark digs Lois, but Lois digs Superman. That this Lois is into this Clark is all kinds of wrong to me; it's felt forced since the beginning of this season which is when it really got thrown into gear.

Yes, I do believe that is what this episode is starting. It is also giving us a slower but definite progress in the Lois with Clark relationship. It is going to give them more time to have some fun with the triangle and also for Clark to become closer to becoming The Man of Steel.

lisasstar

03-13-2009, 11:12 PM

I don't really see how the "love triangle made for two" angle would work on Smallville. In order for there to be a love triangle, Lois needs to have interaction with the RBB, and since there is no way to seperate Clark from the RBB, she would recognize the RBB as Clark right away. The classic love triangle can't happen until Clark begins to wear glasses and enough time passes to where Lois wouldn't recognize who Superman really is. At this point though, I don't see how they could pull it off. Why didn't they just keep Clark in glasses after Whisper? It would have solved everything.

Not neccessarily. . . .she didn't know she was kissing Clark in Hydro. . . .all he would need was sunglasses and a hood! I think they had Lois fall for Clark so hard on purpose. . . .Lois treated Clark so shabbily in the early comics, and many epople complained that Lois never really loved Clark for Clark. . . only Superman. . .this way is better. . .we know she loves Clark for who he is, not for being Superman, so when Clark eventually reveals to her he is RBB. . .we'll know she loves Clark for who he is. Much better!!!

03-14-2009, 02:08 AM

kinda hard to fall in love with a blur though lol...the reason why Lois in other incarnations fell in love with Superman is not because of his heroic feat and prestige...but because Superman became her personal savior and somehow grew connected because of that...it was real contact where her love blossomed...gonna be honest the blur isn't exactly charming

I agree completely. This Lois Lane fell for 'smallville' as she calls him...she fell for the person and once she knows his secret, we will all know that she didnt fell for Superman since she was already in love with him. ;)

I think that Lois is going to know his secret by end of season 8:D this is just my guest.

Also, I don't know how can they pull off the fall in love with the RBB. She can't have any interaction with him or she will know is Clark. The only thing I can see from this is having Lois obssesed in trying to find out who the blur is that she will completely ignore Clark:D

03-14-2009, 09:34 PM

Canon has shifted somewhat - with DD and all

If they play it out as the DC world has played it - and they want the audience to have any respect for CK - it could play out like this

Lois "figures" out thet Clark is the red and blue blur but she keeps his secret. If for whatever reason they can get her to "start" something with this hero - and I for one don't see how - she'll still be in love with Clark -

The Doomsday fight - Chloe dies somehow - probably bringing CK back to life - after He dies in Lois' arms and she calls him Clark after he's dead -

But then the relationship starts and Clois will be as it is in the comics -

forget about the Superman movies (The ones so far anyway) they are not the canon that is followed - Altho how can anyone look at Chris Reeve and not se Superman.

For what it's worth, my 2 cents

Me too!!! I actually really love the ending now to Infamous, and Lois is going to shut herself off to Clark.

The song playing with the words, "careful what you wish for" is perfect for what's to come. Clark is going to be kicking himself, and hopefully NOT in an angsty sort of way. Angst is okay here and there, but it shouldn't be the "theme of the relationship". Lord knows, we've had enough of that on this show and with Clark!

I actually don't think it's going to get too angsty. Granted, it is SV we're talking about, so there will be some angst.

But I think Durance has a way of mixing in the absurd with the angst so it doesn't get overpowering.

I don't think Clark is going to be upset (at least not at first) when Lois looks at the RBB, I think he is going to be fascinated and appreciate she isn't afraid of a super stranger. Her feelings will show him that somebody accepts all sides of him. Her feelings for an alien superhero separates her from the pack so to speak.

Clark knows Lois loves Clark Kent. He's about to find out she will also love Kal-El not expecting him to be a 'normal' guy. I think this is when his eyes will finally open to the perfect woman for him. This is what makes her different.

I also believe that’s where TPTB are headed.

Lois feels at this time that she can’t compete with Lana & CK made a choice. It wasn’t her. He’s not ready for a relationship. She’s shutting the door on this chapter. Next will be the RBB investigation obsession.

CK will fall more deeply in love with Lois & b/c she’s closed him out he’ll have to chase her if he really wants her. He’ll work like a dog to get her to accept him again & CK has never done that.

Lois will eventually fall in love with the RBB making her fall in love with the same man twice. What more does CK need as prove that she loves him as both a “human farm boy” and an “alien super hero” unconditionally.

It’s Superman tradition that CK has to chase after Lois b/c she doesn’t want to be with CK. We have a reason why she’s against being with him. If TPTB play there cards right. CK has a lot more deeper things to deal with in regards to Lois. Clois will not be an easy road to take after the decisions she made in the last episode. Lois knows how much CK loves Lana. She put herself out there and was dumped. Lois will have her walls. CK has a lot of work to do after he finally admits he’s in love with her. Lois isn’t a easy women. She’s not LANA.

TPTB have to show the viewers why once Lois and Clark fall in love there’s no turning back. CLANA is long forgotten & CAN NOT compare to CLOIS. It’s the greatest love story in comic history and there’s a reason why there only has ever been one Lois Joanne Lane Kent.

They just have to prove why Lois is so “special” to Clark.

I just want to make one point about this whole Clark/Lois red/blue storyline. Why would Clark ever be jealous of Lois and the red/blue blur when he already knows that she is in love with him? It seems pretty clear to me that all he needs to do is tell her the truth about himself and/or tell her that he really wants to be with her and the problem is solved. If Clark had no idea that Lois was interested in him, then I can understand the jealousy but the canon of this show has made it pretty clear to Clark that Lois is interested. Even if she stops showing an interest in the coming episodes, Clark will know that the interest was there at one point and that should eliminate a lot of the doubts that he has about how Lois feels about him, IMO.

He will be jealous cause, apparently, he'll be head over heels for her in Hex and after she unsuccesfully tried twice with him, she's gonna have ALL her walls up and her undivided attention to RBB. Clark may feel jealous because he will be falling for her when it's too late, even knowing that she's in love. And u know Lois, when she decides to shut herself and give someone hell.....

Clark may feel jealous because he will be falling for her when it's too late, even knowing that she's in love. And u know Lois, when she decides to shut herself and give someone hell.....

and I have perfect examples of how Clark has behaved jealously in the past; take season 8 the episode Identity (epi 7), when Clark is talking to Lois (about her date) he says "so whose the UNLUCKY guy?". Lois retorts back with "you know when a guy likes a girl, he ACTUALLY asks her out!". Clark later responds and asks why she always "wears so little on a date"
Then at the end of the episode you see Clark smirking and rubbing in her face that her date crashed. He says "So i heard your date ended with a thud". And you can just see on his face that he's sooo happy about it.

(I just remembered this: in season 6 we see lois talking to oliver and clark comes in; clark says to oliver "its so great lois has found someone to overlook her personality". of course everyone but clark and lois caught on to their flirting; even oliver noticed and said "if id lived under the same roof as such a beautiful woman I'd probably mask my feelings in sarcasm too."

That's why this same thing will give into play; even though the Red and blue blur will be clark, and clark knows deep down that Lois loves him, and his alter ego (the Red and blue blur); lois wont give a rats a$$. which is wat will be so funny. lois will star5t falling for the red and blue blur, and clark will fall for lois, but lois wont care for clark. you snooze you lose clarkie :p:lol:

I just want to make one point about this whole Clark/Lois red/blue storyline. Why would Clark ever be jealous of Lois and the red/blue blur when he already knows that she is in love with him? .

This is why I don't think it'll be classic jealousy, it's more complex than that, it always is within the context of this triangle.

I personally think he is going to be intrigued and drawn to her because of her interest in the RBB.

The conflict will occur when he finally decides he wants a future with her, but finds it tough going to get back to where they were at the end of Infamous. The longer Clark keeps her at arms distance, the more time the RBB gets to serve as a distraction, and makes it harder for Clark to recapture her attention.

He could of course tell her right away once he changes his mind, but then there is the fear she'll find Kryptonite and break every bone in his body.

Even in the classic telling, Superman sabotages himself as Clark. If he stayed away from Lois other than the quick saves as Superman, and let her get closer to him as Clark, the story would resolve a lot faster.

But then where would be the fun in that? :lol:

The storytelling to get us to this point has been uneven putting it kindly. They need to fix it. We need to see onscreen Lois is not rebound.

Hopefully going forward if they do the triangle, they'll use the dynamic to show us why Lois is special, how Lois is different from the others in his life, and how Clark opens his eyes to see she is the right one for him. And by resolution time we (and Lois) know Clark loves her more than he's ever loved anybody in his life.

As for the Hex spoilers, I don't think the loving look is going to be that big of a deal. I don't think he's going to be madly in love with Lois, just more a wistful attraction but not enough to move forward and actually do something about it.

I think that is certainly possible. Whether TPTB are actually are going to do that remains to be seen.

I actually don't think it's going to get too angsty. Granted, it is SV we're talking about, so there will be some angst.

But I think Durance has a way of mixing in the absurd with the angst so it doesn't get overpowering.

I don't think Clark is going to be upset (at least not at first) when Lois looks at the RBB, I think he is going to be fascinated and appreciate she isn't afraid of a super stranger. Her feelings will show him that somebody accepts all sides of him. Her feelings for an alien superhero separates her from the pack so to speak.

Clark knows Lois loves Clark Kent. He's about to find out she will also love Kal-El not expecting him to be a 'normal' guy. I think this is when his eyes will finally open to the perfect woman for him. This is what makes her different.

I think you're right, but I just threw the "angsty" thing out there so people wouldn't think I'm for that sort of thing. ED has many layers, and that's her greatest talent in her acting. She can pull anything together. Even the end scene in Infamous wasn't too angsty, because of the "toughness" she showed on her face through it all! Amazing!

I think that the old "you don't know what you had until it's gone" is going to come into play with Clark. Lois is about to change and not be open anymore to him, and I think that is what's going to make him realize what a great relationship he had with her. She's always been there for him through thick and thin, banter, hugs, you name it, but she's going to draw a line and a boundary that he's never had with her before. I think that's what's going to make him come face to face with how he really feels about her.

It's going to be a good storyline I think! I'm looking forward to it!

I think that it could be possible, but the problem is that Clark hasn't made a costume yet to use while he's under his Red and Blue persona.

And another question arises, if Lois does become infatuated with the Red and Blue persona, does that mean she won't fall for the Superman persona someday?

And based on other spoilers and Erica's episode count, there's just not enough buildup to have a Clark/Lois/RBB triangle in this season.

Also, at the moment, Clark thinks that he has to remain single for the rest of his life, so even under the persona of the RBB, he still wouldn't make any advances towards Lois, and still be cautious and not willing to make a move yet.

If anything, Lois will use the RBB as a distraction from Clark, but not as a potential love interest.

This is why I don't think it'll be classic jealousy, it's more complex than that, it always is within the context of this triangle.

I personally think he is going to be intrigued and drawn to her because of her interest in the RBB.

The conflict will occur when he finally decides he wants a future with her, but finds it tough going to get back to where they were at the end of Infamous. The longer Clark keeps her at arms distance, the more time the RBB gets to serve as a distraction, and makes it harder for Clark to recapture her attention.

He could of course tell her right away once he changes his mind, but then there is the fear she'll find Kryptonite and break every bone in his body.

Even in the classic telling, Superman sabotages himself as Clark. If he stayed away from Lois other than the quick saves as Superman, and let her get closer to him as Clark, the story would resolve a lot faster.

But then where would be the fun in that? :lol:

Great post and points. I agree!

Exactly. How is this whole red/blue blur storyline going to work without a costume? Don't tell me that Clark is going to wear his usual red/blue jacket/pants combo, throw on a mask and have people fooled. That would be ridiculous, especially if Lois sees that because she knows what Clark wears everyday. If they are really going to have some interaction between other characters and Clark's red/blue blur persona, he better have some sort of a costume ready or else it's just not going to work, IMO.

And another question arises, if Lois does become infatuated with the Red and Blue persona, does that mean she won't fall for the Superman persona someday?

That's another can of worms that TPTB would be opening up. Would this be another tease to a future event when Clark is Superman or is this TPTB's version of the Superman years where instead of Lois being infatuated with Superman, she is infatuated with the red/blue blur? At that point, I would most definitely question why this show is still being called "Smallville".

I hope so. It would be nice to see Clark jealous!

And we shall call it CRLois?

Crois!

P.S. I'd love to see it... I always like watching Clark be jealous of himself.

I believe it is headed that way. After all, isn't that what happens to Superman, Lois and Clark so why not in Smallville. S9 here comes a triangle of two.

truth be told that they've changed a lot about the mythology in SV. The thing that worries me though is that, are they really thinking about still having Lois fall for Clark someday as the hero when he's superman and not be aware that it's Clark? Does that mean they'll end the show with Clark still chasing after Lois?

Right now, Clark and Lois's relationship on SV really depends on...

1. How close the producers are willing to allow Clark and Lois to get within the duration of the series.

2. If they'll have Lois still in the dark about Clark's secret and have her fall in love with his superman persona (something that'll happen offscreen since when Superman appears the show is over)

You’re right. I said in another thread that I’d like to see RBB/Lois/Clark triangle but how could they show it without a costume?? AND personally I don’t want to see any kind of proto costume in SV.

And another question arises, if Lois does become infatuated with the Red and Blue persona, does that mean she won't fall for the Superman persona someday?

But she’ll know they’re the same hero with different costume, won’t she? If that’s the case, I think she keeps having her affection for Superman. One problem, though. It’ll reduce the impact of their dramatic first encounter (most likely him saving Lois for the first time in plain public), imo. But we’ll never see the day in SV anyway and therefore TPTB probably don’t give a damn about it. lol

And based on other spoilers and Erica's episode count, there's just not enough buildup to have a Clark/Lois/RBB triangle in this season.

Agreed.

Also, at the moment, Clark thinks that he has to remain single for the rest of his life, so even under the persona of the RBB, he still wouldn't make any advances towards Lois, and still be cautious and not willing to make a move yet.

Yeah, and I still don’t know how he can interact with Lois as ‘Blur’.

If anything, Lois will use the RBB as a distraction from Clark, but not as a potential love interest.
Probabily.

ITA.

That's another can of worms that TPTB would be opening up. Would this be another tease to a future event when Clark is Superman or is this TPTB's version of the Superman years where instead of Lois being infatuated with Superman, she is infatuated with the red/blue blur?

Hope not. And like you said, she can’t infatuate with Blur, can she? I’m very curious how they can have ‘romantic moments’ in Stiletto.

At that point, I would most definitely question why this show is still being called "Smallville".

The reason the show should have ended in this season. (Or much before, depends on how each of us sees it.) They’re already in Superman’s territory, we just saw another proof of it in Turbulence. A nod to Superman is cute time to time but the direction that possibly change the future dynamics & status is not funny for me. Like I said earlier, I’m not even sure if TPTB are aware of it.

So my initial answer to this triangle was ‘Yay’ but now, I’m not so sure….. :\
