Smallville: The greatest love of all

[davidbrenton]

I'm sorry. I know many Clois fans are disheartened and upset at Clark this episode, but to me, it proved Clois is the end-game, and the journey, the pure-center-stage-journey, has OFFICIALLY begun.

And, I can't wait to see what's coming. I publically claim "Lana who?", Clois PLEASE!!!! And, last but definitely not least, I LOVE LOIS!!!!


If that doesn't make me want Superman to LOVE her, I honestly don't know what ever could.


BRAVO PS3, PS, whatever your name is. Just keep the integrity and quality of Clois high, and I forgive and appreciate all other actions.

[Lost Son of Krypton]

I was all for up until Clark went back in time. By the end of the episode, not so much.

[superspider02]

Yea i totally agree i like how they are developing the lois and clark love story compared to how badly lana and clark was handled the past 8 yrs.

[tbird4u]

I LOVED this episode and it spoke so much on so many levels when it comes to the way clark loves lois. The end scene was absolutley amazing, I could feel both of their emotions. Lois thinking she cant compete with lana and heartbroken. Clark affraid of a relationship with her or to even face that he DOES have feelings for her. Both of them were sad. It was AMAZING and I cant wait for more!!!

[EternalTwilight]

This episode is incredible! I can't wait to see what's to come. I'm just to the part where they have the heartbreaking conversation in the barn (where else?) and I have tears in my eyes. Damn! I love these two!

[clois-destiny-forever]

I agree with you. As hard as it was to see some of the scenes tonight, the official build-up is what we've been waiting for.

I second the "Lana who?"; "Clois WHEN??????!!!!!!"; and a whole-hearted "I LOVE LOIS!!!"

[ClarksGal]

I thought this episode was very nicely done. Clark can't fall all over Lois the NEXT episode after making out with Lana. That would cheapen Clois so much. I want them to make this slow, and special. I do wish that Clark had elaborated on why he wasn't going to tell Lois again, but I agree that there are seven more episodes this year and 22 next year to develop Clois. It's only going to get better...no need to rush it now that we have another season.

[davidbrenton]

This had me crying so much harder and so much more fluid than Requiem. Requiem had a great final scene, but Clois has the power to DO THE JOB.


I'm soooo happy we get to see Smallville's version of Clois because this season made me realize it's what I wanted from the S4 premiere.

Wow....add a couple drinks and the 35:39 minute mark and you have the most fluid tears from my this show ever commanded.

THANK YOU! It's the second time I cried, and Lois was entirely naturally and less forced in terms of "circumstance". It was purely for the characters and I love the journey.

[davidbrenton]

I second the "Lana who?"; "Clois WHEN??????!!!!!!"; and a whole-hearted "I LOVE LOIS!!!"

I re-typed that when I didn't connect what I meant by Clois when....I edited "Clois PLEASE!!!".

Thanks for realizing what I meant. I think I hit it clearer this time.

[tbird4u]

This episode proved to me that PS3 are cowards when it comes to admitting that clois is their endgame. What else can explain their insistence on leaving Clark's feeling so murky? Lois lays down all her cards but Clark? The audience has to interpret and guess. Give me a break....

I think they are just building it slowly, IMO I think that this episode is a learning experience for clark and has helped him move on from lana and closer to his destiny with the help of lois and chloe. I just hope they can redeem their faith for you.:o

One of many reasons I was dissatisfied. Thank you.

I can wait for clois. Heck, give me writing as good as "Moonlighting" (old series with Bruce Willis and Cybil Shepard) and you could lead me around like a dog on a chain for years. But this? Disappointing.

[Alicia Chipy]

I don't want an angst filled secrets & lies scenario all over again.

[Dyanara]

I agree with you Susan, its the writing that sucks. I would be all of Clark*Lois being dragged out. Thats what the beginning of the season was all about, but this crap they are feeding us is what is making me never want lois*clark to be together.

[SnowBird]

Yes...I'm looking forward to more Lois and Clark. I'm glad they went slow with going towards the relationship but still leaving us with how they are starting to have feelings for one another. Love is a journey and I'm happy to be along for the ride.

I'd beg you to consider the notion that PS-WHOEVER (Does it really matter) are delivering Clois at it's best....every episode with Lois MOVES that story forward in LEAPS and BOUNDS,

We have earned the journey of a new season, and I beg u to submit that from episode 08.01 until Infamous, the producers have moved the sun and moon to highlight the IMPORTANCE of Lois and Clark. They each have realized it (Albeit one more than Clark), but now we (as the audience) are given the gift of SEEING it. Seeing WHY Lois feels this way, and SEEING HOW Clark comes to feel this way.

I honestly could not be more enthusiastic with any future episode because TPTB have ENTIRELY regained my faith. Clana was the warm up act, Clois is the real deal....AND THEY'RE DOING IT!

The last scene...THE LAST SCENE :eek: I haven't cried for a show the way I did for that scene in a long time. It was just beautiful! And the music was pretty awesome too, it added to the whole effect. So, twice for me tonight and I'm still drying my eyes.

The music, the directing, the choreagraphy, and acting had me druling over this episode....despite the slow pace of the first 1/2 hour.


I love it.....and yes, the last scene was made beautifully...more innately beautifully than any Clana scene I've ever witnessed.

I love S8 PART 2!!!!

[Iluvgreen]

I was dying during every second!!!!! I love them so much. My sisters were telling me to calm down the whole time!!!

[Kevin24]

As disappointed as I was when Clark didn't walk across the street and take a sit at the table. I completely agree with TS about being excited about the future interactions with Lois and Clark.

The best is yet to come!

[skugers]

I loved Clark Kent in Infamous!!!!!!!
I think things turned out at the end of the episode just the way I imagined!
It was a big step for CK towards Lois Lane. I'm actually glad he now really sees her!!! He didn't stood her up out of rejection! He cares for her and wants to protect her. He puts aside what he's starting to feel beacuse he wants to protect her of the outcome revealing his secret to her would bring! Cuz he knows he just couldn't hide his secret from her if they were in a relationship. He was heartbreaking and sad, but cute.
He didn't tell but he showed so much in the last scene.
Of course I'm sad for Lois, but I know Clark Kent will redeem himself one day :D. And make her happy, of course.

[damara531]

I totally agree. And I think that the look on Clark's face in the final scene when Lois texts him back says it all. We've yet to see the best that Clois has to offer. And I for one can't wait!

[Scribe]

I have to admit as much as I would have liked Clark sitting across the table from her, I am also glad he didn't. He's not ready and he's not misleading her by showing up either. I think he does care for Lois and he's going to take his time. I think Lois' reaction to his powers went along way with him but Lois as a romantic interest is fairly new, quite a different experience from Lana.

I consider the Lana arc as some unpleasantness that had to be endured for KK to complete her contractural obligations and now that its done, PS3 can continue telling the story they started with the first half of this season. Clois is right where it needs to be. Folks - those of your who are old enough, tell yourself it was a dream - it worked for Pam Ewing.

[Tompouce]

OMG ! This was no difficult to see Lois telling her emotions to Clark. And him, indecisive (this is Clark we are speaking about lol)but truly concerned by her. OMG ! And the last scene, perfect. The song and all. My romantic heart was melting...Just what I like : LOVE but with many facets...They have a long way to do to reach Clois but I have to say, it was very very well done.

I feel the same way. I'm happy :D
Not too little, not too much. The perfect amount of Clois at this point.

[Clark/Lois-fan]

Clois had me all through the episode. What a fantastic way for Lois to return, and for Clois to interact. I simply LOVED their scenes together. It is SO obvious that Clark has REAL feelings for Lois, and don't want her to be a rebound. They are both equal stubborn when it comes to love, and like I wrote in another thread- that's why I love them. And what a great build up to their relationship.

Congrats Smallville, you didn't dissapoint this fan :p

[DGirlLois4Clark]

All I've got to say is, I cant wait for Clark's feelings for Lois to explode one day;).lol

[melissan02]

I've got to respectfully disagree w/ fellow Clois fans here.
TPTB are setting this up to be the iconic Lois/Clark/RBB triangle. While I'm fairly happy with that, since it is sticking to mythos (which I've harped about for weeks!:mad:), I'm afraid that SV will make it into more of an angsty triangle...and that STINKS!! We've had enough angst on this show, I do believe!:rolleyes:
I enjoyed last night's episode tremendously. I didn't want a Clois kiss...and I'm so very glad now that it didn't happen!:D Since "Bulletproof" I've set myself up for disappointment as a Clois fan! It's easier that way.
The only things that bothered me about last night's episode were the out-of-character writing given to Lois. She looked a little like she was pining at certain points, and that's SO not Lois Lane!! Also, the fact that she offered herself up (once again:rolleyes:) to Clark to have coffee with her in order to talk-----shouldn't have happened!
She also came across as being bitter instead of dismissive. I'd rather her be dismissive than bitter...perhaps that's how she'll be the rest of this season as she becomes infatuated with the RBB?
Either way...this episode leaves me feeling flat. Didn't live up to the hype, IMO.

I felt this way too and I'm concerned that we won't get the Lois Lane we should with the snarkiness and banter.

But then your comment about the triangle made me start thinking about how they are going to play that a little differently. CK is afraid to disappoint Lois so he is choosing not to be with her. But what he will find is that by acting the way he is, he is disappointing her. Lois has told him that he's a hero just the way he is. But she'll lose faith in him as such because of the way she believes he is blowing her off.

She will then find that the RBB is the type of hero she can depend on. So instead of her ignoring the bumbling geek she works with as it usually goes, she'll be ignoring the emotional unavailable, emotionally weak, typical guy she believes CK to be now. No longer her farmboy hero. As Lex would say "disappointment abounds".

The bolded line is why I am disgusted. CK is afraid of everything on this friggin' show. He's afraid of disappointing Lois, he's afraid of telling Lois, he's afraid to be a man and at least tell her to her face that he wants to have a relationship with her but he needs to take it a little slower, he's afraid of his own friggin' shadow. And instead of being a man and face her, he texts her some lie from across the street. Some fledgling superhero.

Thanks PS for such an interesting take on the World's Greatest Hero.

[melissan02]

You (or rather, Lex) may have just renamed this show for me! :\

Yeah, as far as I'm concerned, TPTB were given a golden opportunity to have Clark look somewhat mature and make Clois look like it was going to be completely different than Clana and they failed. I didn't want to see Clark immediately start dating Lois but a little communication after there was zero between the two for four episodes would've been nice. TPTB need to make it so that Clark is not afraid to talk to Lois.

Exactly. I didn't want to see him run across the street and pledge his undying love to Lois. I wanted to see him act like a man, not some chickencrap weakling who can't deal with his emotions or figure out what the right thing to do is.

Had he done that, it would have redeemed him from the BS arc we had to endure IMO, and allowed instead a push/pull relationship with Lois - far more entertaining than the angsty triangle that we've seen on SV forever and in the mythos for 70 years.

They lost their opportunity (and stones) to tell this story with originality. The Blur infatuation that we know will come would have been just a tease to get Clark to move along to catch up with Lois' feelings. Now it's going to be Lois chasing the Blur, infatuated with him or falling for him and not giving Clark the time of day and he'll be back in the barn playing with his ball. Swell!

I hear you. All the past angst hasn't worked for me mostly because I didn't want the characters to be together. I think Lois & Clark will bring the perfect amount of angst, comedy, and banter (Often in the same scene). I'm glad their was a little angst. Their relationship is THE CENTRAL RELATIONSHIP of Superman....so it should be treated well and their is going to be some angst underneath their feelings no matter what....they wouldn't NEED to be together if their wasnt.

[Krypton935]

YEAH! Go Clois!

[Minela]

Clois is destiny! :D

[Wildfire]

See as someone who has been time after time been disappointed in Clois, after last night I think they are getting on the right track. Guys you have remember this, they have dug themselves the worlds largest WHOLE with Clark and relationships. After the gut punch to all Clois fan during the wedding, I think we need take a step back for one moment.

First they have Clana problem. . 8 years of the Clana problem. You cannot rewrite overnight you know (though I wish you could). Its going to take time. I can see how this is going, its starting out of a friend love, a bond a friendship, not teenage hormones. This kind of love does rush. Yes you are going get angst, but this one in the end will have a payoff.

And that was the Clana problem, it was angst with out the true love be together forever payoff. 8 years was given to one arch and in a season or two they are going to try to pull off a the iconic Clois not stupid sappy (which I am sure well get some of that) but something real and pure.

And show you how much it was good writing let me say this. My brother is the manliest man. He hates ALL mushy stuff if its on the tv he leaves the room till it over, mutes or plays on the computer. Last night he watched and at the end instead of too much lovey dovey the guy of a guy was yelling at the tv (and the writers in spirit) that he better go and talk to her. Then threatened the writer better make up for it at the end of the season. Of course what my brother did not get was is that Clark did not go over there not because he was afraid to love her. But afraid to loose her. He knows most of the people who knew the truth about him are gone or dead (even chole is removed more from him now that ever before). He can bear her being with another guy but cannot bear never seeing her face again. And that's the fear he has now.

In the end the mark of a good writer stirs emotion particularly in those who normally do not show emotion over something. And with my brother they did that last night. I expect to see now more good things from them.

[gem65]

I thought this episode was very nicely done. Clark can't fall all over Lois the NEXT episode after making out with Lana. That would cheapen Clois so much. I want them to make this slow, and special.

It's only going to get better...no need to rush it now that we have another season.

I think he's simply afraid of getting his heart broken again - especially after what happened with Lana.

[Isabel14]

I, for one can't agree with you, I'm too upset...

[kelly1142]

I actually really liked that last scene.

Now, had they had Clark text her from the farm or the Planet, that would have ticked me off.

But to me, the fact that he showed up, dressed up showed me he had every intention of meeting her. He just froze and freaked out when he got there.

And I can understand that. His secret is still clouding him, and he hasn't accepted that he can have both aspects of the life he wants - the hero and the love.

He told Chloe that it was after he told Lois, he thought he could have it all. It was very telling that it was that moment he felt that way. But unfortunately, everything that happened after is much fresher in his mind - the chaos, the tumult, how Lois' life (and everyone else's) was turned upside down.

On top of the fact that Clark's experience with people knowing his secret hasn't been great. Yeah, Chloe has been his secret keeper, but he saw with his own eyes how happy she was in Bride NOT knowing. She said she felt like a weight had been lifted. He didn't choose to give the knowledge back to her, and I'm sure he's glad he has a sounding board and someone he can confide in, but still, that comment in Bride I'm sure stuck with him.

Pete, his best friend couldn't handle it and moved away. Recently, Lana turned power - hungry to try and be his equal and then ran off at the first sign of trouble instead of sticking around and trying to figure out a way to work together to fix things.

Sure, Lois is not any one of those people, but Clark's had a lifetime of experience, and she IS special to him. I can see why he'd be very anxious, not to mention confused by the emotions he's feeling for her now.

[Tompouce]

Kelly, ITA with you. As you mentionned it, he dressed up so he was ready to see her and at the last moment, he changed his mind. I like this scene. Tom is amazing at the end, the emotions on his face, uncredible !

[x THE CHEETAH x]

BRAVO PS3, PS, whatever your name is. Just keep the integrity and quality of Clois high, and I forgive and appreciate all other actions.

Well said, David... I agree on all accounts.

[LoveHurts38]

I just want the Clois to be taken very slowly...IMHO.

Exactly! It was so nice to see him wearing something other than the red jacket too! He look sooo good!

[The Striving Artist®]

I'm hoping somewhere alone in the series(not SEASON,series) Clark realizes that maybe Lex did him a favor by separating Lana from him.It made him realize who he was DESTINED and not WANTED to be with.

Otherwise I did find the ending touching and wished Clark had more to say in the barn before Linda attacked him.I'm thinking the reason Clark decided not to tell Lois again when he "fixed" the timeline was because he was figuring out his dual identity.

[Mickey_Bickey]

^^^

I agree!!

[Isabel14]

She almost cried:mad::(

[Iluvgreen]

Now what we need it the cutest kiss in the world...... which will actually be kinda hard, because I already have a favorite... but still Clois is the cutest couple on television!

[Sunny8]

Clark and Lois are a great love. I hope SV shows it, though. I like when Clark told Lois,""Lois, you know after the wedding things got a little crazy". I'll say:lol:.

Even though Lois is great, no wonder Clark is trying to avoid going into another relationship right now. Still with all this happening Lois received three 10 second voicemail's from him. So she wasn't a case of out of sight out of mind to Clark. Isn't that wonderful?

[melissan02]

Clark told Lois,""Lois, you know after the wedding things got a little crazy".
:rotfl:That's the understatement of the ENTIRE series!!

[ash91]

can someone explain to me why clark says that 'lois can never know my secret'? i don't see any reason why not? its not like she had a bad reaction to the reveal, and this time around he could just tell her, but tell her not to expose it to the world and explain the reasons why. i also don't see why he stood her up? :S

----- Added 4 Minutes later -----

oh, sorry is see that theres already another thread about that on the 2nd page

I think it is just for the sake of drama that he can't tell her. Instead of going a new and different direction, the writer's are probably going to rehash with Lois and Clark the same relationship crap that they did with Lana and Clark. I just hope I don't end up disliking Lois as much as I ended up disliking Lana.

[marcella]

I loved all their scenes

Clois rocks!!!!

[herolee10]

well, I can honestly say that if this is how emotional it can get for some fans based on the scenes we've seen in Infamous concerning Clark and Lois, then people roll out your tissue boxes because it will get more complicated as the show goes on..lol.


I like to picture all of this, as the means to a end...meaning that yea, the trip on getting to our destination is going to be rough at times, but there will be times where it'll be a smooth journey and we'll finally get to the endgame of it all...Clois.

I think that by the time the series closes, or hell by the time the season finale comes...we'll be able to better look at the end scene for Infamous.:D;)

[paolinki25]

I thought the scene before Clark turning back time was great. Also, Lois's reaction to the secret was very nice. This is the iconic couple. Too bad they have stepped all over it with previous episodes.

[LovelyLoisLane]

Their last scene made me more open to romantic Clois than I have been for the entirety of the show. I've always liked platonic Clois but the out and out romance made me leery, but I think that it is safe to say that at least for just that last scene I was a Clois fan. If they keep that up, then maybe I will be.

Phew! That last scene was just so . . .good! I feel like I got suckerpunched . . . in a good way though. :)

Greatest love of all on SV? I don't know, I really really loved Lolliepop and still do, and I'm still a little leery about developing Romantic Clois or SuperClois, but if the romantic scenes for Clark and Lois to come are at this level of quality, then I don't see myself complaining.

Who is this Lana you speak of? I think Chloe mentioned someone like that once in this episode, but beyond that I have no idea who you are talking about. :p

[pizzahead2490]

i loved the last scene. i thought i was great acting by erica and tom didnt so bad himself. its good.

[Loulou26]

I was pretty gutted when Clark just text Lois saying he couldn't make it but then I sat and thought about it, this episode really acomplished a lot in terms of Lois and Clark. We know that Lois loves Clark but did Clark ever truly realise it before this epi?

I think now he does and now we get to see that he finally realises that he does have feelings for Lois. Maybe he wants to do things right and get over Lana first, it wouldn't be fair to Lois to start something when he's still dealing with all that.

Clark needs to figure out who he should be first and then we can move onto the truly iconic romance that we all know and love.

I seriously disliked the way they handled the whole Clana issue, that could've been dealt with on more mature terms, but at least now we are seeing a glimmer of hope for the future. I also want to see Lois' walls come back up and Clark having to chase her for a change.

So all in all, I think it was a good episode for Lois and Clark.

[geminis]

I love Lois more and more each time I see her. Clark is finally getting a clue that she is special to him. I wasn't surprised by the cafe scene, nor the fact that Lois was the one doing the inviting. She had put herself out there with Clark earlier when she thought he was interested and might need her. Ms. Pink-green interrupted and she stepped aside. This was her opportunity to say face to face "Are you into me or not? Either way, I want to know." Because she actually was at the cafe, Clark now knows that despite her denials, she is definitely into him. He showed a glimpse of the fact that he's into her as well; he was dressed up and conflicted. Clark has just learned yet again that people knowing his secret can have bad consequences and he's starting to realize that Lois is special and more importantly, special to him. Her walls are going up and his blinders are coming off. This is still the dawn of the greatest love of all, and it's long and drawn out and super.

[rebecavaldez]

I never wanted it to end!

[Faby]

I cried like a baby in the last scene, of course the moving song(perfectly chosen) added to the tears.... I felt horrible for Lois. I almost gave up on Smallville after the Lana fiasco, but I can say that we've all had that ex(first love). I don't think Clark is in love with Lana anymore. I think that he loves the idea of her. She was save ground for him in the love department because that is all he knew. I mean, she is his high school sweetheart and Lois is the REAL DEAL. She is his soulmate for crying out loud and he is scared. He starting to realise just how much he cares for Lois. He had all intentions to show up, but when he saw her there, he changed his mind. He is not only afraid of the intensity of his feelings, he was devastated by the fact that if he really wanted to start a relationshp with Lois, but he would need to tell her the thruth....and the whole experience he had putting her at risk in that episode didn't help. I was pissed off that he didn't walk over and at least had coffee with her, but I replayed that scene several times and even though Lois broke my heart in that scene, it could have not been better. I am hoping that in the next episodes, we finally get to see Clark's feelings for a change.

I third that, Lana who?....I will pretend those four episodes were a dream and that they never happened...it's the only way I can be happy.

Go clois...yeah baby!

[superjude]

I also saw the journey beginning with the episode! I was extremely happy with it and now I know Lois and Clark will happen on Smallville, that Clark will face his destiny before Lois but will realize his feelings along the way, because she is going to have fun with the RBB.
I am looking forward to every single episode to come.

I was most annoyed with Linda Lake of course. She is just not fun to watch.

[Demien]

Totally YES!

[kropek]

I totally agree. And I think that the look on Clark's face in the final scene when Lois texts him back says it all. We've yet to see the best that Clois has to offer. And I for one can't wait!

same here.. now the last scene made me understand why clark has to pay a great price in the near future. he stood her up!!!

[Alicia's Sweetie]

I love how TPTB have turned Superman canon on its ear. It is wonderful seeing Clois in a new way. For the first time Lois loves Clark not Superman first. Lois actually loves Clark before he realizes that he loves her, a great counterpoint to the way Clark has always played second fiddle to his alter-ego.

As for the episode, I only found the scene when Clark dons the Legion Ring to be lacking. This is the one time Clark has to express his feelings for Lois in a safe way. She will have no memory of whatever was said or done. You can tell from the earlier scene that Clark is finding it hard to see how Lois thinks she isn't important to him. My other problem with this scene is Clark would never have left Lois mid sentence, maybe if the barn had been surrounded or he felt her life was in danger. It makes no difference if he leaves this second or a year later to the ring. I think the scene could have been adjusted to have Clark give his answer to Lois about whether he will tell her when he goes back, by telling her she is very special to him and kissing her. Then have her phone ring or have Doomsday appear and then have him don the ring. This would have set up the last scene more properly, as he feels he is protecting her from who he really is.

I liked this episode b/c simply it was an eye opener for Clark

As for Clois I have no problem with halting it right here after the Lana arc. I have no intentions of forgetting. It’s to soon to start Clois now. I don't want a rebound relationship.

CK isn’t emotionally ready to start anything with Lois now. He’s still mending his broken heart over Lana. He can’t give Lois all of him right now. He’s also afraid of his feelings for Lois and her feelings for him. We can’t forget Clana wasn’t the best relationship for him & he may fear making the same mistakes with Lois and losing her completely like Lana or turning something like Lana. He’s not only protecting her from the enemies but from himself. What CK needs is time to heal & sort out his life and feelings.

Lois is sad b/c she feels right now she lost to Lana. She can’t compete with her. She did do the right thing in making CK make the decision to start or stop Clois even if it hurt her. Lois understands all to well about hurricane Lana Lang. She’ll give CK his space & never bring the almost kiss up again to keep her friendship with CK solid.

It’s a new chapter in Smallville mythology with this episode. Hopefully CK will develop into the “hero” finally without anyone’s help but accepting his destiny as RBB. It will just be a plus for CK when Lois falls in love with his “alien” side b/c she already loves “Smallville” side. Lois will fall in love the same man twice. How much more proof you will need to know this women loves & accepts you no matter what.

Clois has to be portrayed with care, slow & easy with a lot of emotional effort on both parts making it a more stable adult spiritual relationship. PS3 has a long way to go to reveal to the viewers why Clois is 1 billion times more psychologically & emotionally more powerful then Clana in a very short about of time.

Why is Clois "the greatest love story" in all comic book history?

Can they do it. We’ll just have to see.

wow such a great post..so well thought out. I was a little sad after Infamous, but I have to agree, slow is probably very good right now so Clark can get it together and get over --oh I am sorry I can 't even say it! But you are right. He needs time.

[sarcami]

Lois was spot on, Clark was stiff and unreadable towards the end.

[desertcoyote]

CLois is endgame. Clark has issues to settle and some maturing to do. There's absolutely no need to rush this relationship. PLEASE don't mess this one up. I'm still trying to figure out what made Clana tick.

[lifelovedestiny]

Lois & Clark always leave me wanting more!!!!!

[clois-destiny-forever]

This show needs to be twice as long just for more Lois and Clark!!

I never looked at it this way before...it's a very interesting way to look at it :)

YES, The PS3 most definitely need to prove to viewers why clois is so much more than what clana was, both psychologically and emotionally.

Wow, "Lois will fall in love with the same man twice", very well put, I love the way you put this :D:cool:.


Why is Clois "the greatest love story" in all comic book history?

Very nicely stated, It truly is the "greatest love story" IMO in comic history, It is an iconic love story that you fall in love with over and over again and it never gets boring. IT is memorable and unforgettable. Its CLLOOIISS :D

[supercatmom]

The first time Infamous was aired my VCR hic cupped so the 7/31/09 airing was the first time I saw it.
It was a "what if episode" and I totally enjoyed it. Of course, we all knew a reset button would be pushed and Clark would use the ring to reset time. But that didn't make it any less fun to watch.
I think the Clois was handled perfectly. After the super saint Lana travesty, did anyone really want to see Clark running head long into a relationship with Lois?
I hoping to see a slow long remantic build up between the two and will gladly go along for the ride.

[donnarose]

I voted no, because dont understand how Clark is going to play two heros at once without hurting Lois?:\
